We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

My virgin shanghai trip was more work than sight seeing. wot a bummer but nevertheless, i manage to spent most of the money I brought there on food! Look at the types of lays chips they have! Lime/blueberry/kiwi and cucumber! So far I've tried the lime and cucumber and the lime is nt bad. I've never liked cucumber even if its with chicken rice. eww.. it has that green green taste.
Super interesting pearl milk tea in a cup! I've never opened up to try this tho' but i doubt it'll be better than Koi/Eskimo..
And look at all the Pretz and Pocky I bought! I am a sucker for anything cutsey! as can be seen from the cute doraemon!
Socks are very cheap in china too! That cute Homer H&M socks is so for P!
and lastly I bot this kungfu manual like notebook from one of those tourisy streets for gifts! and all those alone, my luggage could close so much so that I have to sit on it! ||-_-
Sat was work in the morning then it was lunch at a Chinese fast food joint 真功夫! Their mascot is Bruce Lee!
The name of the joint is actually a pun on the word 'zhen' which is steam in chinese. Everything they sell is steamed! This shop also proves that steamed food is not necessarily healthy food! =)
My black pepper chicken set with octupus sth sth soup. the soup is really yummy and the black pepper chicken is really not bad too! this cost only RMB$39 i think.
And here's why I say steam food is not necessarily healthy food! Look at the amount of oil in Sandy's mushroom chicken dish! omg! its totally soaked! eww..
After a quick lunch, we headed to Qi Pu Lu, which is like their wholesale center area! If you are familiar with Platinum mall in BKK, this place has prob like 4-5 bldg of 1 platinum mall! the crowd is also mad crazy! everything could be bargained. but due to time constraint, we could only shopped ard in 1 mall =\ this will prob b one of the best reasons if i were to return to SH in the future!
as mentioned earlier, there's a bodyshop fair at PS Atrium! i'm nt sure when it is until but its definitely cheaper! =)) i bot like $70 worth of shampoo, body wash, hand lotion, toner!
A variety of miniature travel size bottles of products were actually at 4 for $10 and is super good for ppl like me who stay in budget hotel which may nt have toiletries and body shop stuff are juz so sweet smelling! i bot like 4 bottles of those vanilla body lotion cos i <3 vanilla haha. Sg have no Bath and Bodyworks so I guess the Body Shop Sale is the other cheaper alternative =)
