Keeping to my promise... here is my first post to kick of the travelling experience... and obviously the first subject or country I would want to review about is Shanghai..... honestly, i've been there about 2 times already and have really fell in love with the place, it is definitely an interesting place to explore, honestly you could even find some shopping centres built by Singapore companies therefore not lacking the Singapore taste, obviously, i'm not going to post every thing I know about Shnaghai up here lah, is not people would just copyright and pass it off as theirs, lolzzz, i believe that will happen, so if you want, press the right click on the mouse button and it will tell you what to do!!!! hahaz!!!
Honestly, let me start off with a picture welcoming you to explore the city of Shanghai....
Actually, this was taken when i was about to fly home, but anyways lets start.......
Landing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in you airplane, a look out of your windows would look at the beautiful newly built Shanghai Pudong International Airport, a sight to really admire although it is still in its early stages, on entering the terminal, if in summer, you would feel the air-con blasting down on you to overcome to hot and humid temperatures while in winter the warm air give you warmth from the coldness outside. Passing through immigration and loading your bags on your tour bus and set off for the city, honestly, it takes 1 hour just to reach the heart of the city of Shanghai, don't complain about the long journey, wait till u here about certain journey times later. On looking back the airport, beside you the flyover over the airport tarmac and just beside you would be the huge international airline planes, the few minutes out, you would be able to notice shanghai's maglev train, takes you to a subway station nearer to the city in just 7 minutes and highest speed??? 435km/h... i tried before K!!!! chao fun lah...
Anyway onentering the city centre the first thing that would catch your attention in the day is Dong Fang Min Zhu Dian Shi Ta, while at night the brightness and attractiveness of The Bund would certainly catch your attention with the thousands of people around, suo wei dao shanghai jiu kan ren tou mah!!! Looking from the Bund across into the Pudong area, you would see the 4th highest building in the world " Jin Mao Da Sha".... The bund overlooks Whampoa river which flows into the 3rd longest river in the world, " The Yangtze".
For avid shoppers, there is alot of places for you to choose from, their Orchard road, known as Najing Road, shopping for souveniers, Shen Huan Miao/ Yuyuan would be the best place ever to get them traditional souvenirs like chinese seals with your name carve on them to modern day souveniers like magnets, looking for some imitation to Nike or whatever Xiangyang Lu is the place for you... and be clever, BARGAIN, GAN GAN DE QU BARGAIN, they say 300 yuan right, don't stupidly agree, must cut-cut-cut everything to at least two-thirds, 300 must say 80, normally they would not allow at first, but then using various techniques you would be able to succeedpractice makes perfect.... experience state you can cut fromm 300-100, 180-90 etc.... hahaz... Xin Tian Di, although looks modern, but looks like some old european town, but the goods there chao ex. one don't need to see also know...
Nanjing Road at night....
Xin Tian Di...
Not interested in shopping??? Take a boat down whampoa river at night and admire the nice night scenery, or ascend up the oriental pearl tower, you would receive a magnificent view!!!
Yuyuan, Chen huan miaoSome facts, Shanghai is separated into old and new shanghai by the means of whampoa river, the new side is called Pudong while the old, Puxi. Shanghai is always changing so don't expect roads and building s to be the same when you go back one year or maybe even 6 months later.. that's the time span between my 2 trips.... lolzzz.. but one thing i must recommend to you all, i got to know this uncle making chinese traditional seals with your name carved on it in shanghai, the first time i went there was like my parents talking to him and then introduce me to him also, then during that trip, we went there about few times, then during 2005 June, went back to the same shop, Uncle still remembers me hahaz, he even mistaken me for a tour guide hahaz ( maybe after all my ambition may come true) this was because like i came back in such a short period of time, so i become his "shou ke" but don noe if i go bak now he still remembers me hahaz, his stall is in some traditional wooden stands overlooking a departmental stor i think and with a whole row of shops to the lest of him, although his seals are quite expensiveabout twice but his seals are really hand-crafted and real true quality as what our tour-guide said, some others are just make of some "fen" hahaz, i walk around the whole area of yuyuan right, he was the only one using hands to carve, all the others use drills, and thier packaging is just a plastic bag, while the uncle is a nice box hahaz... but don't forget to ask for free ink pad...Not forgetting, people over there are chao friendly lah, they would try to help you when you approach them, so don't be scared, at most they would just dao you thinking you are some salesman...lolzzz. The tour guide we had also chao friendly lah, thats all i have to post about shanghai, wanna know anything else, ask me lah hahaz, i will tell you everything that i had learn from my tour guide, trust me it is chao interesting one, that is why shanghai is my most favourite place among the places i went to.....

The time of stress is over for now, yeah!!! common test over!!! but so what... common test over, mid-year coming lah, still must mug.... but anyways back to common tests, amaths and emaths were like ermm ok, emaths still can pass lah, only if i'm lucky, but for amaths, omg, i really don noe lah, don't want to think about it...... combined humans. really quite confident hope can get high marks if not i will feel so sad.... physics was like, OMG this paper was like one of the easiest paper i have ever done lah, this time confirm can pass one, biology also except got some mistakes surely one, chemistry is like sec. A ok, sec. C ok, but section B, i really screw up a typical stupid mistake i make:
Q:Nicobium is a poisonous gas at room temperature and pressure. ..... (and the question goes on, describing it would react with what to form what and blah blah blah)
Q1a: Is Nicobium a metal or a non-metal? Explain!!!
Being me, i stupidly go and put it as a metal, it was like OMG when i found out later from my frenz, they already told us it was a gas!!! I was like AAAHHHHH!!!! y am i so stupid?????

Today was actually quite an interesting and funny day lah..... Lets start from morning we ran 4km for PE lesson, a first in thousands and thousands of minutes of PE lessons in SJI, lol, now i understand what matt, ronn and weijie talkin about now, thought they run 4 km themselves, crazy..lolz... anyways it was ok lah walking and running altogether, just run only right......dotz.....Lessons just followed and RME was equally boring, and Aaron was equally lame and crazy. SOUGHT DE..... then after school came SHATEC, what is SHATEC? By the way is a free seven course dinner provided free by the school with a choice of either Italian, French, Chinese or Japanese cusine, believe it??? of course not lah, where got so good one, it is a theory session combine with a practical session to practice their skills, SHATEC is actually a hotel and tourism management school, so cool, hahaz, the theory session saw us learning the various cutlery used in western dining and proper dining ettiqutte... as a typical class of 435, there was indeed laughter, lameness and crappiness all combined together in one: (Ok this is all bout a lesson on western dining ettiqutte) with a typical personality like Aaron in there,What is Sky Juice can guess or not??? it is just plain water, hahaz chao bhx.....A typical aaron joke comes now, if a lady comes up to a table when you are dining and you want to invite her to sit down, as a gentleman you would stand up to welcome her right??? ok what if the MM LKY come what do you do???? Aaron's reply: O!!! I know, we just put our right fist on our chest and recite the singapore pledge, maybe also sing the national anthem..... wah liao chao funny lah.... cannot remember other joke liao...K now came the dining part, we were served a 5 course meal, with bread and rockmelon as an apitizer, mushroom soup, barbecued chicken, strawbery cake and then coffee or tea, this was actually held to put the skills that we had learnt just now, honestly the food there is chaoo nice lah, i think it is even better than the food served outside, don't know why hor, maybe too hungry???? But everything was going well, we were sitting in a make-up restaurant which was actually very real with real restaurant facilities and quite cosy and it was a comfortable setting to relax, we were all enjoying the food and the jokes around and enjoying the quiet and comfortable atmosphere until Wang Guan decided to take out a camera and take a photo of Sherman and Royston having their meal, unnoticingly, he then pressed the button to take a shot with flash and therefore at this time not wanting to give up on the opportunity, aaron with all his lameness shouts out " excuse me... no flash photography!!!", wah liao then what was supposed to be a quiet restaurant atmosphere turned into some havoc coffee shop..... hahaz chao hao siao lah at that time... anyways... i got nothing much to say already now signing off.... remember to catch the premiere of The Amazing Race 9 ahr, if you miss it, don't even try to cry cause I've already told you.... the premiere would be confirmed on 1st March already.......

..dotz... i'm back after mmmm... a few days???? basically, life's about the same alot of things happen during the past few days, from enrichment day which is utterly boring!!!! fancy sitting in chinese class for 3 periods and another 3 for english, is chao boring one lah!!!! then on the day of the release of the o-level results i saw people with a sense of excitement awaiting their results which makes me think what would i want to do in the future... honestly, i have totally no idea.... shld i aim for a degree in international tourism or geography, or should i go for a short term goal of a diploma in any of the 2 tourism related courses hahaz, i don't know.....
anyways again, today was just another ordinary day, going to school, coming back home and typing on this comp. my english is definitely getting worse..... i totally wonder why can only english be counted as L1 and why can't chinese be counted since chinese is gaining importance in the world, chao unfair lar, now must worry so much for my english lah, its really quite bad i think!!!! anyway thats all for today..... i shall continue with the travelling reviews on another day though... once i figure out the html for the right click thinggy, don't know how to explain.... maybe after the common test i should bring in the element of travel into my blog..... my brain juices are already flowing now liao, but i only have the time to do it after the common tests...To end off the post..... of course i must sign off with a reality tv bite what!!! k here goes....For all those who are really interested in knowing more about the world, and exploring what really lies beyond the shores of Singapore, The Amazing Race 9 should not be missed... i think it would be premiering on 2 march on channel 5 with a 2 hour telecast, but the most important think is watching it will ot only make you learn more about the world but also immerse into the intensity and the atmosphere of the tense competition going on, also i was also surprised reading yesterday's Straits Times saying that AXN would be hosting THE AMAZING RACE: ASIA, wah liao chao hao lah, anyone in asia can take part, not like the american version only americans can take part and must be above 21, wish i could really take part lah but too bad not old enough, no partner interested and cannot sacrifice precious schooling years to go for this 1 month race... hahaz...so sad.... ok back to season 9 so if you want to explore new corners of the earth be sure to catch the new season...... in Greece- Sicily, Russia- Moscow.....

Overseas.... Outside Singapore.... other people ask me why izzit so great, it's because i do not want to be stuck on this hot and humid island all the time cause i would be bored, although i am always craving to go overseas, i do not want to go there juz for fun, but also to learn..... of course without friends it would be totally boring right?????? What i feel definitely, so on this trips i would always grab the chance to make more friends whether is locals, people in my tour or the tour guide whatever, they definitely light up my trip always, this would also mean at least no need to like stick to my family always wad lol...cos quite boring one...frenz are definitely better....... as everyone knows i'm indeed crazy about everything in tourism especially the different airlines around the world, that's why in my blog you see them, a whole lot of links to thier websites and my fav. flight eva....... although people may think airplane flights are boring, i feel that they are cool although quite frustrating sometimes, depending on the time of the day and who you are with lol...... anyways if you ask me why i added this entry after that long entry on myself, i would say this entry is the start to some entries being travel info and about other countries and definitely reviews on airlines!!!!!If you ask me where would I want to go most is definitely Australia cause that's my dream destination, i'm so crazy about it that, once i step into an australian airport, i'm in fact quite satisfied hahaz... but if you ask me to really choose where is it that i really yearn and long to go is Africa, maybe either South Africa, Kenya or Ethiopia cause it would definitely provide me with a experience and memories to last a lifetime.... so if you are asking my advise on where to go, go with your heart, with yourself whether it is the US, Malaysia or China just go with what your feel and propose a destination to your family......Indeed i am thirsty for more knowledge of other countries and also like to share them with all those who come here( to my blog lah)..... Here are some of the wonderful pictures that i have taken on some of my trips.... juz a few cause cannot use all if not, not enough for later... hahaz

I don't know why i just have to insert this crappy post (or is it not) here, lots of things happened last week one can be called a miracle and another some shit!!!! by some shitty teacher which I have lost all respect for...... Let's talk about good things first, a miracle finally happened, Zhao Dong finally came out of his daoneesss attitude towards 208 people and approached us on thursday to crap about something on transexuals with sam loke's essay.... thinking about how he like daozzz 208 people for the past 13 months and his famous phrase of "Ok lah Ok lah" to everything we say is considered in somewhat a little of a miracle lah....lol.....For everything good there muz be something bad that would always happen, don noe why, i'm still quite infruiated with the stupid teacher, she totally suck lah... (for all who noe me this is the first time I have said a teacher really suck, never once be4 i blurted that out) and also juz when I was beginning to see another side of the class stupid them have just to revert back to their old ways they begin to suck again..... i know that none of my classmates read my blog because i don even feel like telling them to... because they are quite stupid and crappy...... wdv..... i'm beginning to hate my class again and that teacher...... wdv..... i miss ong mei fen, wish she was back.......dotzzz lah... don't wish to ramble on about the stupid incident and continue to what I like best REALITY TV..... survivor panama: Exile Island rox manzzz.... it is better than the previous few seasons.... starting already quite interesting already, split into 4 tribes... got one crazy deserted island where there is a hidden immunity idol etc.... wonder what's the twist up next... seems like i cannot access the website which i always go to....k forget about revealing it.... on to TAR, yes! the cool race manzzz.... new season shld be startin on 1st march cos US premiere is 28 Feb.....watch out for it manzzz... Moscow.....Sicily..... the Middle East.... COOL.... A MUST WATCH!!!!!Continue..... THE FACES OF ME !!!!!!I don't know why I want to blog bout this but i don't care, if my classmates or teachers chance upon my blog they would read this and i noe of some people who have already juz chance upon my blog....wdv......Many people ask me why I have changed from the once quiet me to this crazy me??? In fact to me, i have actually not quite change at all, maybe different groups of people see me differently, my primary schl frenz would say " u got chang meh??? u equally like to suan, kar jiao and crap alot whether in class or outside????" my lower sec classmates would say " i don't noe why u change until like so crazy now" while my classmates would say that i'm equally quiet in class and to them and my CCA mates have definitely no doubt say i change to become more lame and crappy....... anyways i feel i smile more now that the past...... why i change??? frm some quiet and nervous of everything person to one who is abit like want to do wdv maybe i can answer to thos people who always ask me.... maybe i met more different type of people and gone through different things now...... Betty (my tour guide in Taiwan), what i learn from her is to smile always and you would be happier, also Yvonne Lim ( the mediacorp actress that i got to know through December Dazzle) I also learn to have more confidence in myself and to give a try and achieve whatever you want to do if not you would regret, Shu Yun (my OBS instructor) and the whole OBS course made me realise the goals in my life and how would i go about achieveing them, also Bizworld 2003 and 2004 which would be the perfect example of the never give up attitude, our team failed to qualify for finals in 2003 but in 2004 we got a superb second, Claudine and Grace ( the TLE instructors that I had for Shanghai and Beijing 2005) i will never forget them, confidence, my various ideas i have now whether for entrepreneurship or wdv projects or even what I like to do tourism, geography is all thanks to them....also some of my friends I met along the way through all this journeys........ Honestly, i can have uncontrollable mood and attitude swings, but that hardly happens unless i'm totally pissed than you better watch out... i dont noe what may just happen, do you all believe i shouted "shen jing bing" to some chinaman in beijing when i was crossing the road at wangfujing in beijing because he almost wanted to knock me down with his car (its head juz stop infront of my legs estimated length 2-4 cm and the light was green, i just turned and shouted, for all i care..... and the time in Beijing subway where i just shouted "SHUT UP" to Bryan cos I was so pissed with him and that was not allowed in their culture unlike Singapore, or the incident in sec2 at the end of FYE english 2004, i don wan to write about it again cos it is juz an insult and would dirty my blog.....WDV.... honestly, only a few people have seen this side of me, my primary school frenz have certainly seen them, but my secondary school frenz it's juz a few zhaozzz, bryan, jon tam, OCX.... that's all that i can think off.... even marcus(soh) hadn't even seen the other side of me.....Otherwise i will be like me myself which everyone has seen me, i can even be even better if i feel the need to, which i haven felt in sji...... 4 consective years of being class monitior in sms and another year of being a somesort of a worker to my teachers in primary schl have defintiely made me somehow enjoyed life there more than in sji... however, if you were to compare the activities that i were involved in and how it had impacted my life.... sji would surely get the thumbs up..... finally i would like to end of this super long post with this that all businessmen shld always noe..... "the real competition in the business world is not your product, but instead is the togetherness and the attitude of your team that really counts"
