You really wouldn't know how it feels like until you get to experience it yourself.
Like I have always wanted to get the Jack Spade briefcase but I wouldn't know how it feels like until I really have it in my hands, in exchange for SGD100.
Like you wouldn't know how the dinner taste like until you paid for it and sat down for dinner.
Kinda abstract.

late 20s
In my younger days, I have never expected to be in my late 20s so fast and I would have never expected my late 20s to be like now. I would imagine having my own house etc, and not having the mentality of still being 23 years old. Gosh. And I have only just started working! This is too troubling. I have no vision of me being 30 in 4 more years.
Meanwhile, I just got news that my HR is actually trying to get somebody to replace me from Singapore, but that guy rejected the offer. Makes me wonder, who will be actually dumb enough to take up such a lousy offer?? And she actually planned to locate me in Thailand. Hm...... those are some very weird plans. I have no idea where my job takes me, but I will still want to be here till at least October, after I enjoy my well earned holidays and complete my travels in China.

Choir Visitors
Some choir folks came to Shanghai to visit!
Was at Hangzhou for the weekend with 2 guys, met a few interesting people, watched the boring West Lake show which costed 250rmb and explored Shanghai on Sunday.
Anyway the haze at Hangzhou wasn't as bad as the one in Singapore now. hahaha
First day, we went to French Concession, Huai Hai lu, Tian Zi Fang and Haidilao for dinner
Second day they went to Qipu Rd, Lujiazui, Yu Yuan, and we met at Lao Wai jie for dinner at Blue frog
Third day they went to She Shan, Qi Bao, Xin tiandi and Xu Jia hui.
Forth day they went to Jing an Temple, French Concession and the bund for dinner at Jean Georges
So glad that they came and enjoyed themselves, as much as I did.
I was missing a lil bit of Singapore and they brought a part of Singapore here.
More visitors please!

Chengde Mountain Resort
I have a love hate relationship with holidays in China.
The holidays are not as it seem. 3 holidays in a roll, but you have to make it up during the weekends.
There will be MOUNTAINS of PEOPLE travelling within China, which jacks up the flight ticket prices, empty train tickets quickly and jam up the whole train station.
And it's really troublesome to plan where to go, because major attractions will be filled with people and you can't go far with just 3 days.
So with these troubles during this Dragonboat Festival, I delayed thinking about my travel plans until the last min, I just bought my flight, train and hotel 5 hours before my flight. Most of my friends said the Cheng-de Mountain Resort was worth going, including my mum, so I thought why not, since I won't get a chance to go there anytime, and I have no plans for the holidays, and somebody said he would pay for my food and hotel if I went there.
Overall it was alright, its just a big garden to me.
The highlight of the holiday was when we returned to Beijing and I had a huge lot of food to eat at home, like caramel ice cream, dark chocolate cake, curry pasta, mushroom soup, double cheesecake, thai tea ice cream and white fungus papaya dessert. So wonderful.
Total damage for 3 days: 2000rmb
