16-06-06~ 25-06-06` shanghai

finally shanghai trips.
shall not elaborate in details (cos i cant remember much through out the 9 days.)

didn't manage to catch much sleep on the 5 hours plane journey there. too many distractions besides the excitement of boarding a plane, the chattering of the family who's scattered ard my seat, inconsiderate people winding up the window shutter to allow BEAMING lights in.

free food and lodging. how nice. hahas..

i cried on the first night. wondering into the night how am i gonna survive with the family whom i barely knew for 12 hours for another 8 more days, what's holding for me in the next a week plus. uncertainty fills me and suddenly felt that my 600+ spent on the air tickets seems like a big big mistake.

more sight-seeing and brief shopping for the weekend. under the graciousness and courtsey of her family, i get the gist of the country (food, scenery - inclduing all those scenes in MI-3, goods) in just a few days time.

S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G and more shopping packed up the schedules of the coming days.
it appears that the things i managed to get for hky and pq combined are far more than what i get for myself. probably due to the mindset of keeping my hands off the things i want but steep price until the last few days when i had gotten all the important things thats in priority. but i never thought that in the end the hard-tightly-gripped money i scrimped and saved were loan to my mom, since she's with travel agency whereby things 'naturally' will cost more than usual as vendors jerk up their prices to earn as much as possible from the 'FAT FISHES'.

the next thing that marks my impression - the traffic. the two lanes of different directions are separated by no more than 2 white lines. And along with each path is a narrow lane for motorbikes and bicycles. danger lukes even after crossing the main roads.

the sky brightens up by 5 in the morning and by 6, the sounds of the horns bombard the air. it's 'pooog pooog poog' in every 5 minutes. so its a mircale if u can sleep your day off into 8 plus.

following the incident of buying saroong cloth in m'sia which deprive me of the time and freedom to step into any other shops, in this episode, she and her friend were frantic in buying FRUITS. peaches, cherries, lychees.. OMG. we face the risk of having to declare, detained, discard our luggage or simply put to say INTO DEEP TROUBLE just becos of importing illegal fruits not being being checked by the health authories here.

i'm back home. nothing beats the air, people, and TRAFFIC here. lols

photos were taken using their digicam. will post if i can and/or i remember.

missed an episode of superband. the show that lucify got the highest marks of 38 /40. drats!
