To me, this city always brings back the nostalgic touch of the 1920's. All the inspirations from the chinese drama series I watched when I was a kid.
I decided to visit this metropolitan city since my dear friend is temporary residing there. Good thing that someone can show me - the Ms Can't Read Chinese around. 5 days before my trip, my friend called to say that there's an emergency and he will have to come back Malaysia. It was something unfortunate. Man.. after waiting for 2 months! No one to blame on.
Since it was a promotional ticket, I can't do any changes to it. There's always fineprints to this kinda of perks. Anyway, I got no choice but to go. My friend arranged a couple of friends to take care of me during my visit. So there I flew to the oriental land..
Day 1
I was having trouble asking for Taxi. Finally, Joshua told me it's called "Chu Chu Cher". Then I met up with Lepak Linda and Charismatic Christy, they brought me to Joshua's apartment. Conclusion, they felt sorry that I have to sleep there so Christy offered to clean up her 2nd room for me to sleepover. So chweet..
After settling down, Linda went to work. Christy and myself was walking around looking for food. Should we take the subway or the taxi? Then, we went to the subway and a man caught our attention. He was very loud but we ignored him and continued walking and suddenly I felt a slap on my ass. I shouted. Christy asked what happen, I paused for a minute and told her " He just spanked my ass". There he was laughing and walking away. Apparently, Christy said he was clad in a police uniform.
Later at nite, Joshua texted that someone is coming over to his house to fix the windows and door at 9am. Arrr ..this means I have to wake up earlier than that.
Day 2
So Joshua's friend, Simon and Daniel came at 930 to help out. We waited for the installer but in the end to no avail. I could have sleep in!
Then, Linda brought me to the French Concession Walk to check out the old buildings which are turned to cafes,quaint boutiques and art galleries. I'm still thinking of the lacquer painting I saw. Kelly would love this place. And she can take nice pictures of me, haha.
Day 3
I received a call from Joshua at 830am saying the landlord is coming over with the installer to fix the windows and door at 9. Fcuk! Quickly, I rushed to make sure that they dunno I'm staying at his place. So they came, it wasn't appropriate for me a lady to be there when the men are working but what to do, Simon is out of town already.
Alamak! I have to meet Celes at 12. Then 12 became 3pm. I felt so sorry that she have to wait. Gawd she was starving when I met her and most of the kitchen closed at 3pm. What was available was just snacks :( I was lucky that the landlord bought bread for me. It was already raining when I reached The Bund. Too bad, we can't take pictures of the view we had. Sigh..
I went back to Joshua's apartment to get my luggage so I can moved to Christy's place. Waa lau, the door got locked from the inside and Linda who have the spare keys is out of town until the next day!
How?? I went party with the clothes I was wearing the whole day lorrr! It's not the end yet, Joshua texted me and said that my car broke down! I suggested him to drive my car for his convenience while I was away.
This is so unbelievable. I almost cried out! Thanks to bubbly Hui Ling who keep saying, it's ok. Everything will be alright. I told them that tomorrow will be the best day of the whole trip.
Day 4
I sleep in, had great lunch with Celes.
Went to the shopping street and realized that everything there is fcuking expensive.
Stopover at the only Barbie store in the world. Plastic, Pink, Poise, Perfect, Pretty
Had great dinner with Linda, Su Wei & Christy.
Finally, relaxing foot and head massage to end the day. This is truly the best day of the entire trip.
Day 5
Pack and Leave. I will be back :)
