There's reasons for not going besides our laziness.. Cuz the 800rmb did not include the ticket money to all the sight-seeing places and our 温泉.. so if we go, we would need to spend at least another 500rmb each. Somemore we dun have any swim wear.. still needa buy! Dun even know need swim suit to 泡温泉 one lor.. I thought juz go in naked can already. HAHAHAHA.
Oh well.. we were quite sad when we heard that we couldn't get back our ticket money after we called the agency.. 800 rmb u know! Can last us for like half a month. lol.. So we went down to the agency to try our luck.. die die muz get back at least 50% of it.. and TADDAAA! We used our charm to mesmerise the auntie and she finally relented and gave us back half of the money after much explanation. LOL..
We were so happy with ourselves after that and decided to give ourselves a good treat. haha.. went to Raffles City for teppankaki and den to this Hong Kong Street in Exit 3 of 人民广场. FYI, this 人民广场 is freaking huge!! It has 19 Exits altogther and each exit will lead u to different interesting places i guess.. yet to finish recce all of it. It's like 4 or 5 times bigger than our Dhoby Ghaut Interchange! Ok ok.. back to the Hong Kong Street.. haha as usual, there sells a lot of ladies stuff like hair clips and necklaces.. and there's this neoprint shop over there!!
ZZ and i walked into the shop and began to explore the machines like what we always do in Singapore.. and was stopped by this woman. She led us to the counter and started introducing us the neoprints and different functions of the machines as if we have never taken neoprints before! haha damn funny la.. We decided to take since its only 39rmb for one set.. around $8.. cheaper than Singapore's.
After that there came another lady to teach us how to operate the machine and how to decorate our photos using the machine as all the instructions were in Japanese. WAH.. service damn good! First time i take neoprint still got pple explaining to me how to take and decorate the photos with those functions! lol.. ZZ and i were quite impressed and too happy for words.. And the photos turned out to be v nice too!!!
NICE HORRRR???? hee..
Oh oh.. and one more reason why we missed our trip was becuz we went to a pub in 新天地 (the clarke quay in Shanghai) the previous night! haha.. the pub's name was Paulander i think.. and according to these 2 uncles we got to know that night, its the most happening pub among other pubs in 新天地! Indeed its a very nice pub with nice live band playing good music like 'Can't take my eyes off you' and some other Cha Cha songs. A bit like the group 'Unexpected' that i heard in Wala Wala last time with the 44 peeps cuz the band also uses female vocalist. Shanghainese are also very happening people! Many of them went down to the mini dance floor and these 2 uncles also went down to dance! The 2 uncles told us they are regular patronisers of the pub and they always come every weekend..Can have many previleges like bag deposit etc etc.. hmm.. They look like some bachelors man. Haiz.. shld have taken their numbers down that night den next time ZZ and i go will have free drinks probably. HAHAHAHA!
Anyway we bluffed them we were from Malaysia and they commented that ZZ dun look local.. while i look like i came from the Southern part of China! Boo.. sad.. i think im gonna be 'tiongified' soon..
Before the pub we had our dinner at some South East Asia restaurant called 'The Spice Market' as we were craving for some hot and spicy stuff this CNY. Shanghainese aren't good at taking spicy food so their food are all salty and oily and not spicy at all. The restaurant was quite atas but we still went ahead since its CNY and we felt its alright to splurge a bit on such occasion.. hee..
We were greeted by Indians and im actually quite happy to see Indians actually.. lol.. cuz it feels like home and its so rare to see indians in china! Somemore they speak excellent Mandarin!! Their service were v v v v good too.. every 15 min will come to our table and asked us 'How's the food?', or 'Where are you all from?', 'Need me to hep you guys take a picture?' etc etc.. Whats more, there's no service charge! And the Bryani was damn freaking good.. Hot and spicy and the rice was so soft and fluffy.. Wah.. like heaven lor.
Took a picture with them cuz they were too hospitable! Will surely visit the place again before i return back.. haha.. The indians are quite funny too.. one of the managers ( those wearing blazers) pushed another away while we were taking pic! And that indian resembles one of my CBE profs.. VINAY! HAHAHA.. oh well.. i guess all indians look alike ba.. Whahahaz..
Oh and this is wad ZZ and i do at home when we are bored at home before leaving.. Cam whoring!! hahaah..
Tired tired.. Rest so much still tired.. am i getting some disease???? Boo...
I shall continue to slack more at home and munch on my favourite snack..
