Xmas in Shanghai

I thought China don't celebrate Christmas and there is no public holiday, but all of the locals tell me that the xmas spirit this year is really good. It was also my first Xmas in winter, would be perfect with snow.

And suddenly out of the blue we had to organise a Xmas party for the company. I think it was because of me... hee hee... because besides me, there's a French but he's back in France.

It was quite a happy one, minus all the xmas food and cakes and goodies (sighs), but at least the president dressed up as Santa to distribute gifts. And we had lucky draw all that.

After that party, went to another xmas party at a friend's house. 

A warm and homely party with 2 kids and local food, because one of our friend owns a Singaporean restaurant.

Merry Xmas everyone! My presents are bought on my own from taobao. haha, and I specially bought a xmas sweater that I had been wanting for very long.

Hee hee.

comfort zone

Thursday night we had dinner with Sabrina, whose husband Harri is posted back to Singapore so me and lynn treated dinner.
Another reason was because she wanted to give out her remaining stuff here.

Harri was the first comic junkie whom I met, just as mad as I am, but he's richer because he buys everything from Marvel and DC. Its crazy expensive!

We went to her house after desserts and its like going to a garage sale just that everything was free!! hee hee

Haha I got:
1. A heater, she had reserved specially for me because it was my first winterand I've been wanting a heater to add on to my AC. haha. And it's work really well in my apartment!
2. A fan, for the summer and I have been wanting to buy one, also to add on to my ac. haha
3. Others stuff like lotsa tea bags and cleaning stuff.

The heater and the fan are the real deal because I've been wanting to get them but just didn't want to waste my money on it because I have my AC. Woohoo!! My life in Shanghai just got much easier...

dream max

I was walking along a street in somewhere when I saw Max's homemade cupcakes and there were really the 2 main characters in it! They said they really opened the shop real life and I went ahead to talk to Max ( I have no idea what's her real name). 

Then I asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me, but she said "oh, I have plans already" then her friends cancelled dinner with her immediately so she said "yeah, my friends cancelled on me so you'r lucky tonight".

On the way she asked me what I was doing but I was really confused if I worked in US or Singapore or China. But I was in the US because that's where their shop is, and I have no idea why I was there! Anyway we were having Italian dinner and chatted a bit when I woke up.

Yea I've been dreaming lately and a lot of them involved my M'sian cousins. Hm... I wonder...

First winter

This is my first winter over a period of more than 2 weeks. 

It is 2 degrees at night now and the temperature is dropping everyday till after March.

The air is dry and very very cold, and I have to survive on the air-con, which also acts as a heater, to sleep at night. 

Bathing is a test of cold endurance and I have since stopped bathing in the morning.

Cold cold cold!

Vistors in Shanghai

Last last weekend some BJ peeps came over to Shanghai for the weekend. For the past month I have been going to the gym religiously everyday to win the tummy race but the results had not been significant as I was told but my pants definitely were not as tight as before.

Anyway it's all-eat-no-gym weekend with them travelling in Shanghai. 

Red Ruby, Wai Po Jia, Zhu Jia Jiao, Xiao Yang Sheng Jian, Bao Zhu Dessert, Black Magic Chocolate, Blue Frog, Napolean Chocolate bar, Element Fresh and Lao Sheng Cang.

And then the following week, another uni friend came over for an exhibition and he will be posted to Beijing or Shanghai next year! Yay to friend finally coming over. 

It was really strange how fate intertwine. He has a real twin who studies in the same school, faculty and hangs out with my JC 'twin' and I am actually hanging out with my friend, who is same school and faculty as me. Coincidence??

shanghai traffic is too crazy

and once again, I would like to remind myself that the traffic in Shanghai is way too crazy.

My knees almost got crushed by an illegal taxi reversing into another illegal taxi at the traffic junction when the green man is on.

Thanks to the auntie who shouted at the driver that people were walking behind the car.

Fridays in Shanghai

The locals don't really have the concept of TGIF, which means end work early on Friday and go hang out at a pub for some ice cold beer.

Most beer places are filled with lao wais like myself, and I don't really have friends who enjoy a beer night. Maybe only wine or cocktail night.

I kinda miss hanging out with the boys in Korea, cold beer and fried chicken. Wow.

Office freebies

There was a major clearing of stocks in my office because we are moving to the next building so there were a lot of unwanted stuff under dust. We claimed it as our own.

Oral B Electric Toothbrush

A box of 24 colours nail polish

A set of facial masks

A tumblr

A pair of wristbands

A mini-fan

In addition, I'm getting Bloomberg and Business Review fortnightly because the president has no time to read them and they were in English. There was a cupboard of English books that just became my personal library because nobody reads them.

Routine

It had become a routine:

Wake up
Apple for breakfast
Work
Home
Gym
TV
A cup of honey
Brush teeth
Sleep
Repeat

All for the sake for losing weight and fats in preparation for CNY!

Air Tickets are really expensive and SIA is already out. No choice but to take China Eastern back for a week, then back here again... I hope this year's CNY will be good.

when somebody annoys you

What's the point of being angry or pissed or any negative emotions because of somebody?

What's the point of taking revenge on them by bitching behind people or on your blog and spark an invisible war?

You only waste your time, energy and life thinking about it or planning a revenge. What for waste your life?

Live better than them!
And let them realise that you are actually leading a better or more exciting life than theirs!

That is the best revenge.

Went back to Singapore

The Saturday that I went back, I managed to shock the guys and got some kick and gifts out of it. Haha. But I didn't get them to give me Lego la.
Watched Looper, which was quite a good movie but after which we analysed a little and discover a major flaw in the storyline. Dinner at Fish & Co, pretty relieved for good fish!! I havent had good seafood for a longgg while.

All those times I went to work during the weekdays, I would end up going JP library to borrow comics. I do miss comics but I'm quite relieved that I managed to complete all the new comics before I fly back! Achievement unlocked.

Friday
Ate Nougatine at Canele which I really missed and went shopping around city hall for a while.

Saturday
Walked around orchard the whole day, ate chilli crab treated by jj and wq who got a small raise, bought spiderman lego, ate froyo and drank beer with the guys. woo hoo! I just love seafood.

Sunday
Was in an epic state of rush. Went to ah ma house in the morning, steamboat with the cousins while uncovering some very ancient photos and our fascination with Ninja Turtles. Dinner at home and a very quick dessert at Upper Thomson with the OG28 gang and reached home at 10.45 for a quick packing and left home at 11pm for the 1am flight. Haha really made full use of my last day.

I hate taking night flights on SQ because there are too many good movies not to miss. argh.
and that Monday morning I concussed in bed.

HP to ASUS

It has been 4 years since I bought my first laptop, the HP Tx2028 for $699 in conjuction with a starhub promotion.

It was one of the first tablet laptops although I didn't really make use of the tablet function. It broke down on the first year, right before my first exam of that semester and coincidentally I got my best grades then. Haha. Luckily it was on warranty but it broke down again 2 years later and it cost me $257 to repair.

One year later, after enduring so much travelling, it broke down again the first thing I switched it on in Singapore. Well at least I'm glad it didn't break down in Shanghai, or else I wouldn't have known what to do. I guess it has something to do with difference in climate, the humidity or temperature or it could be the voltage difference which put a strain on the laptop.

It was the motherboard, said the pc repair shop, and it will cost ~$250 to repair. She also adviced against it because it was really too old, and I sort of agree.

It is time for a new laptop to fit into my new life.

A speed comparison with the latest laptops, ASUS proved to have the best durability so I narrowed down to this.

The ultrabook with an optical drive, the super slim Asus S46CM

$1298 with 2 years warranty, free wireless mouse, free wired mouse and laptop bag.
Running on Windows 7, with a $17.99 upgrade to Windows 8.

So far it has served me very well, really fast and responsive, light and portable. The only thing I didn't like are the pre-installed Asus softwares which are annoying. Other than that, I'm happy with the price for an intel core i7 ultrabook.

so.. what should I do with my old laptop? I took out the hard disk to transfer my files but the rest of the parts are still working properly except for the motherboard. Hm....

Xi Tang

It was an unexpectedly fun trip to Xi Tang today.

I was quite reluctant to go at first because of the culture gap but it turned out better than I have expected, talking to one of my good friend Tony.

Woke up at 6.50am, even earlier than usual work time, to get to the bus station at South Station before 8am. A 1 hour journey took us to Xi Tang and we walked around the ancient town which was well preserved, lunched, tea-breaked at the postcard cafe and back again. Dinner at some steamboat place and there we are.

Pictures galore!

Such a crazy week for me, so much work to do and next week will be crazier.
I guess I should adjust myself to get used to it.

all in the gym

My original plan was to end gym at 9pm, reach home and bathed by 9.30 and start blogging about my return to Singapore but while I was leaving the female staff pulled me over and wanted a chat.

She went on and on about how awful her neighbours were treating them, her encounters with the robber on the street a few times, her hometown story about a murder because of a ring, her friend's experience in the jail and her dreams to travel around china, occasionally taking about how love is very important.

All that for an hour, until I said I needed to go off.

I have no idea why she was sharing so much. haha

Accelerated plans

When I came back after the China National Day Holidays, we had completely moved to a new building which was owned by LVMT and a HK Tycoon, just beside our old building. 

Within 3 days, everyone was sent back to work from home. The environment was too poisonous to work in, people had breathing difficulty, headaches, eye irritation etc, but I was still alright maybe because I had a minor flu from Inner Mongolia so I didn't feel anything weird. Even the President went back to the old building to work. My manager had to force us to leave earlier to avoid breathing in too much harmful gases.

It was until the third day then I realised that it wasn't the flu that made my throat irritated and breathing difficult, because I didn't had any symptoms in the gym or at home. 

Work still have to be done but the floor was empty so progress was slow. My manager had succumbed to working at home because she had headaches. 

I had planned to go back to Singapore to do my visa at the end of this month to make full use of my visa extension so because of that, she told me to fly as soon as possible. 

One, because there is nothing we can do with everyone home-based. 

Two, to avoid the harmful substances in the building. 

Three, I can work from Singapore office.

My plans have accelerated. I bought my tickets on Monday night to fly off on Wednesday night. Although I was two week early, I had more time in Singapore! I get to spend 1 more weekend and a few more days there! 

Thinking that I have to work from the local office makes me feel like I'm more on a business trip. 

Oh wells, beats breathing in harmful substances. And I had to stop my gym-and-spinning-class everyday routine. Looks like something is gonna come back.

Inner Mongolia 呼伦贝尔

First day - SH to BJ

The whole office had to pack all our stuff into boxes because we were moving to the other building so after packing I was released early to catch the 6pm train to BJ. Bought bread, picked up my stuff from home, ate subway and I was on the 5 hr ride. I was bored for the 5 hours so I was thinking how to survive the next train ride. Somebody came to pick me up at the station, met some crazy Holland guys and was at home to celebrate Jiani’s bday. Packed a little bit for tmr’s journey before hitting the bed.

BJ- Hailaer

30 hours train ride to Inner Mongolia, Hailaer. On hard seats. How to survive that? It was the peak season and we couldn’t get any beds for the train, but at least we got seats. It wasn’t as bad as I have expected, but it was cramped, the toilet was bad, there was no drinking water except boiling water. It was the travelling party of 7 which made the whole ride more bearable, eating snacks, bread, playing bridge, origami, mindless games etc and the night was quickly over with very little sleep. By the morning, buildings were gone and we were passing fields of green and gold, mountains and clouds. There were few left on board so we managed to catch some sleep on rows of seats. Yeah, it wasn’t that bad but I don’t think I wanna take the seats again.

Welcome to Hailaer!

The tour guide took us to the city center, the biggest mall in Hailaer is like a heartlandmall in Singapore. Dinner at a very authentic Inner Mongolian restaurant which was quite cheap and then we bought drinks to chill at the hotel while continuing bridge and watching the finals of The Voice China. Also stocked up on water and snacks for our trip.

Day 2
Another guide picked us up in the morning and it was colder than I’ve expected. The car was big enough for all of us and the dry weather generated a lot of static electricity on the car.

Horse Riding, Religious structures, Mongolian camps

We arrived on a mountain with breathtaking views and a river among the golden trees.

Adventurous party brought all of us down to the icy river waters for a lot of jump shots.

A jungle of white trees

We rested at a town, tried to take pictures of the stars but the moon shone like a spotlight and the night was too cold.

Day 3
The morning was very cold too, we set off along the Russian borders.
We had some Russian bread and went horse riding again, this time cheaper and we were able to ride on our own up and down the hills

Watched the sunset

We warmed ourselves with some 50% alcohol and got ready for the stars at night. It was too cold, I think it was 0 degrees at night when we went up to the wooden hut on the hill. I was shivering all the way and I think I caught a cold.

The place we stayed had little hot water and in the morning some of the water was frozen so the girls didn’t had water in their room. The room was quite comfortable with heater.

Day 4

Driving past golden flat fields, we took pictures at a field with rolled up hay which were very prickly but very beautiful. We also saw the start of a mini tornado which I thought was water sprinkler.

We then arrived at a very Russian Manzhouli, which doesn’t look like China at all! The traffic, roads, people, the deco are much much nicer.

Very heavy Russian influence because it’s the city just beside Russia. Bought some Russian chocolates.

Went to hulun lake and finally had fish for lunch

Our last stop at the supermarket to get provisions for the 30 hour ride back and this time we had beds and I had a private cabin bed. Luckily there was only another student in my cabin so I got very good sleep on the train. It was much better than the hard seats, the rest got 6 beds on their own so we owned that section of the train but it was polluted with smoke coming from the lounge. And again, playing bridge all the way till BJ.

Overall, it was a very good retreat for me (a working class) and to hang out with some very adventurous and crazy party. Nature was good to us and it would have perfect if there were waterfalls.

Nature, culture, experience.

Day 5

We arrived very late in BJ, took cab back home and had dim sum for supper. After washing some clothes, finally slept at around 4am to prepare to tour BJ the next day.

Tian’an Men

Gu Gong Palace Museum

People’s Square

Café Bros

The largest Pizza in BJ

The air quality was horrible, the people (or visitors) are horrible, if it wasn’t for friends it would have been a very bad trip. But it wouldn’t be the last; I still want to climb the great wall.

The Golden Week

Experienced the first one-week holiday in China, its like recess week in Uni.

We went to Inner Mongolia, which was really beautiful and coupled with very nice weather. Vast golden grass fields, sheep horses and cows, fluffy clouds and crystal rivers and lakes.

Then we went to Manchuria, which has a very heavy Russian influence and it was a really nice cross cultural town on its own.

Overall a very good nature trip, can be considered my 4th grad trip. Haha.

It would be a perfect if there were waterfalls. It would be just like New Zealand.
Photos will be posted up later!

the chinese culture

so i talked to 3 different HRs and got 3 very different comments.

Should I try to change the chinese culture in the company?

One said that they can't be changed because it is the chinese culture, one said I should bring some fresh ideas into the company, one said I should adapt to their culture because they have their own ways.

I mean there's no right or wrong answer, but sometimes i just wanna do things my way. Or maybe I'm too used the the systematic ways of Singapore.

However, all 3 had the same conclusion. Since I am overseas, I should just enjoy the present and not think too much.

True that.

Company's investment

To my colleagues, I'm the Singapore graduate with the fresh ideas, dare to defy Chinese working culture, handles both languages easily and I can get away with things very easily because I am a Lao Wai. Heh.

To the HR and managers, I'm an expensive investment which they hope to send back to South Asia to expand the business after a 2 year exposure program here.

To my manager, I'm Singaporean who is good at everything and produces good quality work.

I should consider myself very fortunate to have been sent here because I am the first student under the graduate program sent to AP headquarters in Shanghai. The company has never done it before and they don't send people overseas for work assignment easily, especially so for an inexperienced graduate.

So the President called me into his office and I have no idea if they wanted to send me back ( because I was too expensive) or tell me I have to take a pay-cut or whatsoever. I thought he didn't know of my existence until the US President came down and he introduced me and my colleague to him (and said I was expensive, HA).

Instead he is having me directly involved in a project headed by him, and I have to work and communicate directly with many senior level managers, same or one level under him.

I do feel honoured to be picked, or maybe he just needed somebody who is fluent in English, but every time i enters his office I put so much pressure on myself to make sure I do a perfect job. I guess the company wants to maximizes their investment. My daily work is already at a higher level than other graduates, be it in China or other regions, managers have to report to our team and we report to a senior committee that includes him. I just realised the scale of the projects I'm handling, they really affect the entire company's directions in the next few years. Any decision we make can change the company entirely. This level of job... is highly stressful for a graduate.

My stress level is extremely high these few days although I don't show it in office.
I hope my hair are still intact after 2 years.

Because of waist line

So I spent another bomb after work today, but for a good cause.

3300RMB for 2 years, or 1650 per year or 330sgd per year for gym membership.

Well I have never had a gym membership before officially, I've had weights at home, I swim at home-team and I run downstairs. Because the air quality and roads are so bad here, I guess I have no choice.

$28 per month for a gym membership is not bad right? $1 a day?

I have no idea if I'm gonna really insist on gym, so I'm setting my goals today to keep me motivated for the rest of the days. haha

Gym Goals
1. Gym at least 3 times a week
2. Lose that belly
3. Improve flexibility through yoga classes

touchy accidentally

My manager wanted me to teach me how to scan a document and send to my laptop and she was standing in front of the photocopying machine, the operating buttons right in front of her.

I was standing by the side of the machine, a right angle from her. and she said "try!"

Without thinking I reached my index finger out to press the button.

I missed. 

And poked her boob. 

At the nipple area. 

And HARD.

Quickly and calmly, I pretended nothing happened and asked where it was sent to, but my heart was pounding very quickly and I was screaming in my mind. 

I wanted to die on the spot.

EMBARRASSED OUT OF MY BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that, I wanted to take some printed materials on her table, but I grabbed her hand instead.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I thought the weekend was gonna be boring

what a surprising weekend!

I was randomly walking down on the street after some crab noodles and found a restaurant that many Singaporean students are working at and got some news on some people in town. Shanghai is slowly becoming little Singapore.

KTV after that was quite amazing! I haven't sang for a long time and still can hit some high notes. Heh. A relaxing activity that must be replicated many times.

Sunday another lunch with some Singaporeans again at the same place, hang out for a while before heading to BLOC for restaurant week! Pales in comparison with Jean Georges, but it was worth the price for such a filling meal. I got a free Honey Infused Vodka shot because they got my dessert order wrong. haha

Anyway I didn't expect my weekend to be so fulfilling. and my stomach too.
The other day xiao yang bought us cake which looked so average but once I took a bite I was so shocked by how fresh butter taste fills your mouth with scent of fresh milk and little bits of (i think was) Nata De Coco. So damn gooooood. Apparently it was a very famous old bakery in Shanghai and they are famous for this cake. The bakery is called Red Ruby.

My pants are really really tight now. It only means one thing.
I need to work out real soon or else....

Because summer is ending

The first hint of Autumn came when I stepped out of the door and no longer feel warm air.

The weather is getting cooler as summer is ending towards September and i am looking forward to the changes in climate! Hee hee.

I just came back from a really good weekend at Hangzhou. It was my company outing and we stayed at a 4 star hotel, which was really shiok and ate a lot of good hangzhou delicacies.

We had a relaxing boat ride at the west lake and visited the most famous temple around the area. 

I came back with a huge bulge in front of me and my pants became tighter. Sucks. I really need to watch my diet. 

Because somebody is in town

Such a happening week!

During the weekend I went to Hangzhou to stay for the night at the hostel and I was so impressed by how wonderful the hostel was! Its was very hidden at a corner of a small lane and well decorated with chinese architecture and surprisingly clean for a cheap hostel! The bar was also very nice and cosy with a few people. I think it was better and more value for money than staying in a hotel.

A morning 1.5hr bus ride took us to Anji, the place famous for the great bamboo sea where they filmed crouching tiger hidden dragon. The place was very small, with no accessible public transport except for cabs and our hostel was very very isolated, although it's right beside the bamboo museum. 

We took a cab to the mountains with the hidden dragon waterfall and it started raining heavily while ascending the mountain. The view from the top was pretty amazing with the rain clouds and fog. We then met an uncle who brought us to a reservoir they call sky pool. It was closed by he used some connections to let us enter and we were the only ones at the attraction! 

The place was pretty boring at night, we took bus back to HZ the next morning. Overall a nice place but its better with a tour group with a driver.

The next few days brought somebody around, a lot of late nights and good meals like lunch at Mr and Mrs Bund, one of the best restaurants in Shanghai and My grandma, a cheap place for chinese food, famous for its long queue during dining hours. Black magic chocolate was pretty good too. Vue bar was disappointing, people smoke and not much seats, Shanghai brewery is much better.

Because living in Shanghai is so epic

Saturday the 3 of us went to the organic farm market and we were late but there were no one except us.
Ha, and slowly people started to stroll in and there were 6 of us in that hot farm and 2 brazillian ladies had a cooking lesson for us. Went to Shanghai Breweries at night for burgers and beer. Mmm mm.

Sunday after yoga I went home and outside my door I heard an alarm-like beeping sound. At first I thought it was gas leak coz my landlord had installed a safety alarm or I forgot to turn off the alarm clock, but it was the air condition. I tried to fix it, but it just won't stop beeping so I pulled the plug and called my landlord, who came over and fixed it. So he left and after a while the beeping started again and I can't turn off or on the aircon, so he said might as well buy another one, so i'm left with no air con for the next two days. WHAT. HOW TO SURVIVE AT NIGHT!?! and  I only have this small USB fan which I bought, which I don't know if I'm lucky or not.

So I managed to survive the night with my small fan and fully opened windows.

Monday the air con was delivered to my house so I had to get home in the afternoon after they called me. BUT it was raining, hurricane style. I walked to the train station and it was like i took a shower with my clothes on, even when i had my umbrella. The delivery man was already at my door, so she took it in and left. That's when I realised the electricity was cut. Drenched to the last bit, electricity cut, hurricane rain, I couldn't bathe so i dried myself and I couldn't return to the office. I was stuck at home for 2 whole hours without electricity, before the rain stopped and I had to wait for the repair man to switch on my electricity supply again. It was just a switch on my power box -_-

I returned to office, booked haircut appointment at 8pm and went to Monsoon for a haircut after work. Yeah, they have expanded to Shanghai, and I had a package: Cut, Care, Dye for $37sgd. CHEAP! and my stylist was very detailed, and the whole session lasted till 10.15, I was the last customer to leave the shopping center via the employee exit. haha. AND the repairman came to remove the spoilt aircon at 10.45pm in my house and he told me, no landlord will buy a Daikin AC for the tenant, because its too expensive so either he is very rich or very nice.

And so, I survived, yet another night without AC and with my USB fan.

Tuesday I woke up at 6am when the landlord called me and told em the aircon installation people will be here at 7. 5 hours of bad sleep, I pulled myself and prepared for the installation. And again, they told me they have never heard of the landlord buying a Daikin aircon for the tenant, so I guess he felt bad for letting me sleep w/o the aircon in the hot summer. Finally it was done at 8am and I had a completely new aircon in my room! WOOHOO I never felt so shiok in the summer before. 

Took my time to clean up the room and I had some time allowance since my manager knows about my AC so I conveniently scrubbed the toilet, mopped the floor and washed the bed sheets before heading to work at 10am. HA. and I told my manager about the Daikin, she and my colleague were shocked too by how generous my landlord is. Well I guess I'm fortunate to have rented the room from him!

Living in Shanghai is so epic.
