NEW . YEAR

view looking out from my office

24 hours before hitting 2011 new year, I have so much to talk about about this year but I can't type it all out in here. Well, 2010 has been such a big changed, and I've definitely miss my friends, those that are at home and abroad. Working abroad with entirely new friends, and colleague still felt very alien to me, and somehow make me feel a bit homesick, just can't wait to get home and celebrate New Year with family again during new year.

One thing that I might regretting is that I will only go back to study after 2 years of work which also means I will be on my own on master with no old friends go through a tough time with me but I also wonder how would I survive in this firm for 2 years when in this 2 months time, I'm like becoming a zombie and a slave for the local client with massive of changed on a short amount of time. Guess this is the life that I had took, design and life does not come in together and easy. Am still wonder what will the life after 2010 will lead me. it's a year to get older and more responsibilities, and I hate it, it is annoyed but we need to go on with it. Time flies.

random thought: It felt so great looking at the CCTV at night, maybe it is what drives me to cont this road. A road that I always dream of.

TIRE

EXPLORE

静安寺, Jing An Temple

Tai Kang Lu 泰康路, Art District

There are so many part of hidden undeveloped Shanghai parts that I love and have yet to explore.

At least it is something that hasn't been really ruined by modern, odd and mixed up architecture.

I'm starting to love this place. Thanks to Jun Hao.

Hello Jun Hao.

SETTLED

everything seems settled now, after cleaning and moving for full day. I'm happy that I can use Facebook to get in touch with everyone and still blog about everything that I want here, just a bit sad that I can not post up some pictures to share with readers. I will find way to do it. Hopefully :)

p/s : been addicted to noodles lately, need to try new stuffs to eat.

CRAZYNESS

This city is so massive that it's driving me crazy! I'm shattered in these few days in getting an accommodation. Seen through many apartments and they are seriously craps. Now, I understand why here has the shortest building lifespan, they dun care about the building, felt so sad even to look at these apartment which had been partitions into small rooms using dirty and ugly plywoods.
Choosing something between aesthetically pleasing or short distance but dirty/messy accommodation from work has been pretty much the chooses I have for the past few days and in the end I've chosen one that might be nice, but dirty apartment to stay in due to its short distance from work. (where is my sane??? I don't have a choice do I) not very familiar with the people and they seems like " I DUN CARE" attitude, (welcome to big city, owh,) I hope my perception will change when I stay in, but now I just don't have any choice. real tire move moving stuffs tomorrow!!!

SHANGHAI

Just landed here at 12.40 p.m. got a train and cab to get to this "so called" residential hotel, am freaking tire and exhausted.This place is insane and had changed so much since my trip 5 years ago!!! I hope I can cope up with all this mega structures city.

THE . BEST . MOMENTS

perhaps the best moments in pool happen in these few days, thanks for all these guys, I will miss you all loads, and I will definitely come back again, I promise. :)

thank you for making me smile for 2 years. I will miss this.

leaving Liverpool tomorrow, and I hate the farewell moment, and I hate to be all alone again. I miss those smile that had been with me for all these years, but again, I will find new laughters, I hope the new one will be warmer, and friendlier as you guys.

p/s: might not be able to blog in China, but if I able to u will see new posts. miss you all loads.

NEW . HAIR . STYLE

Finally I've got my Visa, and I only allow to stay in 60 days in China, which means more holiday trips....:D and hahaha I love my new hairstyle that I cut in Oxford Street Topshop...

I think london hairdressers are much better than Liverpool.

GOOD . BYE
