Me and gang (Matthew didn't join us) visited ShangHai again last Saturday, 07/07/2007. Upon reaching Shang Hai, we went for lunch at Zhen Gong Fu (a fast-food restaurant like McDonalds just that all the food they sell are steamed). After lunch, we took a taxi to a shopping centre that sells computer hardware and software, just like Funan IT Mall or Sim Lim Square in Singapore. We arranged to go there because some of us, including myself, are looking for cheap/good deal portable harddisk as our tour guide for Shang Hai previously, Benjamin, said he bought a 120GB 2.5" Samsung portable harddisk for only 535 RMB (107 SGD) so we thought of getting it too since it's a good deal. But in the end, none of us bought a harddisk as the price is around 30~40 SGD cheaper compared to Singapore's price (for Samsung or Seagate harddisk) including a China warranty (useless for us as we will be going back in a month's time), and that some of us thought that it may be well better off that we pay the 30~40 SGD more for the warranty back in Singapore (safer also).

Then, we headed to our next destination, back to the place where we went to shop for cheap and nice clothes. Oh ya! that place is called Qi Pu Lu, so if any of you guys especially girls want to shop for cheap and nice clothes when you visit Shang Hai, you can go there! =] I bought a few T-shirts and singlets there. The most expensive clothes I got there cost 30RMB (6SGD) as we bargained at every store we went to.

4 of us, Daryl, Kelvin, Yeow Chuan and I went to Kun Shan to visit our colleague, Luo Xue, at her place as she is being transferred from Wuxi to there after the Shang Hai trip. She prepared steamboat for us for dinner. The rest, Chin Hong, Dexter and Ngiap Teng went back to Wuxi (head back to dorm). All of us took the same train back, but only the 4 of us alighted at Kun Shan. We reached Kun Shan at around 2000, met up with Luo Xue and her friends, Li Jian and Yang Zi, at KFC then went to book hotel for the 4 of us to stay. It was raining quite heavily there. We went to her apartment after settling our things at the hotel. On the way there, Luo Xue found out she actually lost her house keys. We went back to the hotel and to the KFC to search but only to no avail. In the end, she had to find her landlord to retrieve a new set of keys.

We finally entered her apartment at around 2200 and started to eat at around 2300. wahaha, it was a warmth moment as we got to eat home-prepared food, thanks to Luo Xue and friends, who started preparing this meal from 1500 onwards. We drank beer (me first time drinking a few cups of beer) and had steamboat at the same time. Nice Nice..

After dinner, we went back to hotel, Luo Xue came along. Now the havoc part starts.. after we bathe, we started opening drinking the 2 bottles of Absolute Vodkas we bought earlier thinking that we drink it while eating steamboat. We didn't bring it there as Luo Xue thought it wasn't a good idea as her friends are there. We mixed the vodka with Qoo orange juice as drinking pure vodka with 40% alcohol is not good. Moreover we got no ice cubes to go along with. The smell and taste was abit too much for me to take so I only drank around a cup >.<

Head is swirling~

The next day, all of us woke up at around 1200 plus, bathe and booked out of the hotel. We had to pay an extra 150 RMB (30 SGD) to compensate for the dirtied winter blanket, towel and stuffs. The whole room was very messy too =X ahahahah. Went for lunch at Wu Da Niang Dumpling. The dumpling is nice with the garlic+chilli+vinegar sauce. Went around the place abit and went back to Wuxi. Initially we were supposed to join the rest of the guys and PE manager, William, for buffet at a Japanese restaurant, but we didn't go in the end as all of us were kinda full, tired and it's also quite late when we reached Wuxi.

We went to Chong An Temple area to buy some DVDs and to Wuxi City for Beef Steak instead for dinner. haha, we had been to the Beef steak restaurant last Wednesday, 04/07/2007. 2 times in a week! First time I ate a 50% cooked baby calf beef steak, this time I ate the same steak, but 30% cooked! hahaha. The beef just simply melts in your mouth. mmmmmmmmm.. Headed back to dorm after meal.
*sorry, no pics of the steak as I haven't got the pic from my friend's handphone.

Going to Suzhou this weekend, but leaving tonight already! haha, because me and some guys wanna go clubbing there!
