Just when I thought my plans to drop tremendous amounts of weight and return to singapore looking really different, a piece of dumper news has just landed on my thighs.

My colleagues were just casually mentioning abt winter weight gain and how they tend to lose weight in summer and gain weight in winter. NOOOOOOO! I will be back in winter which means I will end up looking bloated.

Die. Anyway tonight is my last lonely night in Shanghai after suffering too many lonely nights in the big house. The other intern is coming and great, she wants to go jogging everyday. Yay! Great to have an exercise partner. And we will be trying to cut down on eating out except for the weekends. I am planning on places to go during the weekend and on thurs. Tomorrow we will be going for body massage. Heng, she likes massage because some of my friends don’t.

Omg, i decided to finally watch Heroes, which i have bought for more than 1 month ago. Decided to dig it out of my numerous dvds stack (hehehhe, i am coming back with tons of dvds). ANd boy, I am fucking hooked. I watched 14 episodes (or is it 13) in a long marathon yesterday.

Hee, i love the character Hiro. Ugly but with good heart. And the real him is even better. So fucking smart of 180 IQ.

Die, i think i am going to finish up the rest of the 10 episodes today.

I am pretty slow to watch Heroes but what the heck, I got alot of studies going on in my life previously. Ha, now it is payback time and I can watch tons of dvds cheap. I don’t even have to dl (cause no internet access) and with dvds as cheap as 2 sing for the entire Heroes season, buying dvds is a good deal.

Since I am alone for 2 weekends with nothing to do, I have explore the neighbourhood day on one of the weekends where I just take a walk around the neighbourhoods and see what type of shops they have. And its a good exercise too after walking for slightly more than 1 hour. Plus the reason why the chinese are healthy is because of bicycling, walking and green tea. Since I can’t bike, I can always do the other 2. And most of the other hours are spent in front of the telly. 50 chinese channels (excluding satellite eg. MTV and such). Alot are korean and taiwan and chinese shows. I spotted a bollywood drama serial recently translated totally into mandarin. hehehe.

I am currently trying to lose weight again. So that I can return to Singapore looking better. Results are showing so far. Will inform when I hit the first target.

WHy they put hiro right at the end? Hmmph

looking good my boy

HAWT!

I don’t have conventional taste in men. But so lovely

Came my menses. hate hate hate! I took leave on friday since my boss told me so after slaving on a report (OT-ing) for almost 1 week.

Decided not to go explore since I was alone and travelling alone doesn’t seem that fun to me. And travelling waste money. hahha. Shall travel more when the other intern is here. ANd she’s coming here soon.

Friday, slacked the whole day which is practically what I did from friday to sunday. Woke up terribly late at mid-day and then it was telly time.

At night decided to venture around my house around. ended up taking a 1.5 hr walk to no where. Phew, managed to walk back to the shopping centre i always passed by. Finally found a foot massage shop. I was looking for a massage shop but nvm. Scrapped the dead skin off my legs due to my intense exercise on my high heels. Now i am 50 grams lighter
Foot massage and massages are uber cheap here. Won’t be able to enjoy this type of taitai lifestyle when i am back.

sat- at home tellying for 12 hrs straight. I am indeed a couch potato.

sun- decided to pull myself out of the hse cause there’s no more food left. ended up spending a bomb at the supermarket (based on my chinese pay). But oh well, at least the food can last for 2 weeks or so. Especially since I think I am going to be a hermit at home this coming weekend (save for the monthly visit to renew my fucked-up visa). And my last day of slacking started with a red present. Sigh.

So today’s work progress is very slow and unproductive. The thought that I have to go home and cook dinner is such a turn-off. Silly me forgot to bring enough money out today. Oh well, grin and bear and cook.

Like my friend say, I am a housewife already. Just waiting for the right man.

just wanted to talk about one type of public transport in china. There’s guys with motorbikes and they charge half the price of a taxi for a ride. Usually I don’t dare to take them cause I am afraid I get abducted by them. hahaha. But there’s once it was raining and cabs are no where in sight and I have a friend with me, so we decided to take that transport together.

And I am really really damn lousy. I can’t even get up the motorbike cause i dont’ know how to and i was grabbing the driver so tightly cause i was afraid. And when I got down the bike, I exclaimed OMG cause my slipper flew away. I think he was very amused to see a girl who hasn’t taken a bike before who speaks in a foreign tongue.

and i realised must wear pants to take. so that rules the number of days i can take such transport.

friday was spend dvd marathoning till 4am. I ended up tired and couldn’t go for breakfast with the intern and her mother.

But i managed to wake up for lunch date with another group of friends. We are really leading the high life and enjoying good food. Food this time was at a very value-for-money restaurant. Imagine paying about 14 sing for set dinner comprising of maincourse, salad, dimsum, dessert, drink. damn damn worth it. My friend commented my new hairstyle is very chic which complements with the new glasses i got.

and then went to collect my passport which made me grumble again cause of the visa problems i have here. It’s really hatefull all the stupid red tape they have with the visa.

Saturday somehow was a domestic day. I felt tired and decided to head for supermarket shopping. Went on skin care spree and now my toilet has alot of bottles of skin care products. Cooked barley again this weekend and I suceeded. Green bean soup is next on the agenda maybe next weekend. And marathoned tv and dvd again. Now they have kim sam soon on tv and i have been religiously watching everyday since they show from monday to sun.

Sunday was shopping day. I played tour guide to this US couple who was abit lost. Met them randomly on the train and I decided to help them. They commented that I had a tinge of British accent. Wow. Never knew I had. Now Hugh Grant and I shares the same accent. heh

Met up with cousin and friends after being extremely late. Heng never visit the aquarium which they did cause it was a total waste of money. Spend the money instead on a fake d&g bag which I am not very satisfied.

cousin and I went for foot massage after a tiring day. It was so good, i wanted to sleep. Nice to know that my cousin is straight. Have been suspecting his sexual orientation which I lightly poked at yesterday.

its monday again. and I am really excited on thurs about national day. We are finding parties here. So far there’s only 2. anybody who knows about any shanghai party to celebrate ndp, please inform me.

The weather has been freaking hot and my temper’s not that great either. It has been 39 degrees this whole week and the lowest temp is like 29 degrees. I suspect the temp is over 40 degrees because the Shanghai govt won’t report temp of over 40 degrees on a weekday since it means that everybody can stay at home and not work. Heh. So temp in Shanghai shows an interesting trend of reaching 40 degrees only on weekends.

Has been playing tour guide and I realised how tired it has been. I lost my temper a few times cause they complained about the taxi fare being 4 sing (for 4 pple mind you), complained abt the transport system in Shanghai, tour guide, etc etc. You know if people like this come to China and be aware of the not-so-good things instead of opening their eyes to see the technological advancements, then you know where Singapore’s future is going to lie. But thankfully she is old enough to be my grandmother and for that, I cut her some slack. But she is damn lorsor, and everybody is losing their temper. Imagine a person talking non-stop except when she is bathing. Yah, that’s the person I have to bring around. And every word she spews is criticisms and complains and her great comments. She is my fellow intern’s mother’s friend and the truth is, the fellow intern and her mom is losing their temper already. There’s only so much you can take and maybe she thinks she is the empress dowager since she is in Shanghai. Paiseh wrong state. Empress dowager is in Beijing.

While commenting that the trains has little, which actually is not litter since these are advertisement cards thrown by people at the commuters, she did not realised that the trains has train mobile for advertisements. Ditto for tv mobile on the bus which will tell you where every stop is. Oh and if she ever shuts up in the cab, she will realise that the cab has tv screens to watch tv too.

i am already much too nice to her. Who wakes up at 530 am in the morning to send them to the tour bus area? Goes to work at 740 am as it was much too troublesome to go home, ends work at 820pm to pick them up from the tour? Prepares enough food for them to eat on the tour. Do a cash converter chart to assist them when they buy stuff.

Really had high blood pressure over the past few days. so hence the rant.

On the other hand, I am feeling disappointed with a friend. Sick of people not replying my sms even when i requested so. Sick of people who doesn’t care when I smsed and mentioned that I am really feeling down and crying. Sick of people who doesn’t understand the vulnerability i feel. Sick of people who doesn’t treat me as a friend.
