Fun Weekend

I spent a lot of money~
05/01 - Labor Day
It's a nice day... Sunny, but windy.... I got a sunburn that day. It's not even summer yet! Why I got the sunburn? It's because...
I went to a place somewhere close to Minhang, or maybe it's Minhang, which lot's of movie made there. Yup! It's a movie set. It was a set for KungFu Hustle, "Kabut Cinta" (Idon't knw the english title and i don't knw the chinese character), n so on. It was nice. I mean, It's OK. The entrance fee is 50RMB, but if you have the student card, you'll only pay /2 of it (sadly the cashier lady said my student card is not valid.. weird.. >.>). I took some photos there, w/ friends who taking me there. We were 8. It's me frm SNU, 1 frm Phillipines (Yuyun's roommate when she was in XiaMen),and other 6 girls including Yuyun. They are from SISU. >>special thx to Yuyun that ask me out that day. it was very nice. =) If i didn't go, then prob'ly i'll end up sleep for the whole day. hehe..
Frm my uni, i have to take the bus and go to the nearest metro station, the Shanghai NanChan and heading to XinZhuang. After, we took the bus to the place and it took 45 minutes. It was crazy when we are trying to get to the place. It was too many ppl on the bus. Even when it's full already, the driver & co- still get some more people to get in. It's just terrible. My Philipinas friend told us that it was smell bad. Yea.... gues that! The BO! LOL
It was nicer when we get back. Not so crowded, and we got some seats. But 1 thing.... we actually coul get off at BeiQiao St. (line 5), and take a bus to the spot, and vice versa. I just realize that, and our Chinese fellow disn't know about that. Well, at least now we are know. XDD
After the something call Le Yuan (the shooting setting place), we went to HuangPi Metro St. and have an early dinner @ Sizler something2.. i can't recall it. It's a nice western restaurant. The foods are cheap, especially when it's good, and the fact that it is located in a very expensive area. Then, we went to Barbie Shanghai on HuaHai. Again, picture, picture, and pictures!
It was great. Beside the sunburn, i got a sore legs also. But, it was a good trip. So, it was worthed.
Ok, let's make it short... i'm tired n sleepy now... lol
05/02
It was not going as I planned, but things turns out pretty good. I had a plan to go for hopping near the school, but instead, I went to Shanghai Tech for shopping w/ Ntine, Helena, Merry, n Herlina. Long day, but it was great. So, after a very loooong day. I got the same exact bags as Herlina. it was just the differect colors. So, we got an Agnes Bi bag, the big 1, for 45. And I got another bag for 125. They said it's new collection and I bought it on the expensive area. Don't know if I was overpriced. But i think it's OK. If I got overpriced, it can't be more than 10rmb anyway.
After, we went to Coco Curry @ Xujiahui's Metro City. It's delicious. How about a franchise in Indonesia? Hm... pretty good. I just need a capital then. :D
We went back and reach the dorm around 8.
And, i di my laundry.. :D
05/03
What id I do today?
Lol. I was planning to go to the church, but I got off @ 9:15. So I just skipped it and prepare myself to go to PuHuiTang. I took the bus 43, get off at the Indoor Stadium, then ride a taxi to the place. The driver said it's really close (but I don't know where, and Michael said it was kinda far.. so I took the taxi), and I said I don't know which building and I was in hurry, so I don't want to waste my time walking. LOL.. yea... 11 RMB.. huehehe...
So, I got this nice BBQ lunch party invitation from Cisca Wikelling (hope i spell it right). Apparently her guests are all Chinese. Yea!! It's a nice opportunity for me. In fact that her guests can't speak English (some are them are learning, but can't speak really well. but i'm impressed that they are willing to learn it!). We are boiled corn, w/ butter... BBQ pork ribs (i don't care about the Pig/Pork Flu... the meat is not contagious if we cooked it properly... and we are not gonna get the flu bcoz we eat it... We gonna get that flu if we are weak and we get around the animal... So, ppl... pls stop worrying about things! Life is to worthed to be wasted on that kind of thing.. but, if many worried, then I got no competitor of eating those meat and it will cost cheaper... :D thx ppl! lol), then.... KERUPUK! + GADO2... It tasted better that the 1 in Bali Bistro! In fact, Cisca's Gado2 is really nice!!! Did I mentioned that Cisca's mom is an Indonesian and her dad is a Suriname's? It was fantastic! I know her from a Rotary Club (bcoz once I attended a Rotary Shanghai meeting), and I think I should thank Rotary for making my life more colorful. Then, the ultimate dessert is bread pudding. Cisca put walnut, cranberries, and raisins inside the bread pudding. Then, it came w/sweet nice butter sauce. It's delicious! Cisca is a chef. Her cook is beyond excelent. It was just amazing. One thing I forgot to do is drinking the wine. It was the Merlot (Australian). It's a good one.. >.<
There, I met Tom, Cisca's husband. He is doing things in CSR (as a consultants for American co.). Wow! It's like my law of attraction doing something. So funny, because the co. I worked now is a co. that do a CSR for another co.. I believe that we could collaborate someday.
I was staying there until 5. Before I left, I got a nice home tour. Tom showed me the home. I think it's really a home sweet home. It got a nice view, nice room, nice bathrooms (3 bathrooms? or 4? i forgot), nice kitchen, nice balcony on the top of the building... It got everything. Their home is on the top of the apartment! 29th floor. :D i bet it's the best room in that building. ^^ Cisca told me that the kitchen is not as nice as I said. It's because she's a chef (professional 1), and back at her CA home, she got the real kitchen. One thing I can't forgot... I was fascinated at her knife sets. :D
After, I headed toward HuangPi T St. I went to Barbie's. Jacob told us (Rotaractors) to meet in front of the Isetan, thengo to Shum's for a meeting. I was wrooooong. I should get off at Nanjing Xi Lu St., Line 2. It was because of the stupid map. It was wrong. Well, maybe it was because the Isetan was there, then now it's relocated. Lol. Yea, another experience. Another 11RMB.
Shum's was really nice. It got a fancy bathroom, he shower is nice, but it's kinda small i think. And the price is really nice, lol.. 6000RMB (very expensive). But, yes, it's nice. Then we talked about fund raising and community service things. Also, we talked about Club Service and membership. The Rotaract life will be good here. :D Surely, we'll have a great ride within 2 or 3 weeks. I will just rent a bicycle. It's gonna be cool to ride to Pudong. We'll cross the bridge. Can't wait to do that.
A meeting w/out foods is boring. So, we ordered pizza. 15" and 12". I ate 2 pcs 15" and 1pc of 12". I was fed up (after nice party at Cisca's, I got another 1). What else do we got? Beer, Pocky, Coke, n i don't know what it called. hahaha... It was 6 of u, until Lana (Jacob's girl) came and we become 7. We left Shum's @ 9:40ish. The others went to the MRT 1st. Enrico n me wait for Shum to get her money. She had no more cash and she needed to pay Enrico for the dinner. After, Enrico n me ride the T. We talked a lot. And we just love to talk. Until we missed the station (ppl Sq.) which we shld interchange to the line 1 (frm the line 2). Thx God it's only 1 st. Then at ppl sq., we took the wrong T. It went to the opposite direction. Thx God again, it's only 1 stop (again). Enrico said he was following me. I was following him as well. It was just hillarious.
I got off at the Sh. indoor St., coz I just kept talkin w Enrico. From movies to work. Remind me to looked for someone (Chinese) who speaks English well, who could be a translator, and also s.o who could do a hospitality job. Then, I took the 43 bus. Surprisingly, when I was just about to got off, I met Dorina! With Miwa, and a Turkish guy (sorry i forgot our name).. We walked back to dorm together. We took the way beside the school. Apparently the gate locked already. The guy was told us to jump. And he did, so we could see how we shld do. Dorina went second, Miwa, then I'm the last 1. Nice 1 though. I will never forget abt it. Next time it got locked again, I'd just jump over it. LOL.
And, i got to rest now. Tommorow gonna be a long day.
Work hard, play hard.
