last night was a very happy night for me. why? haha...............:D RAFAEL NADAL WON HIS THIRD CONSECUTIVE FRENCH OPEN TITLE, DEFEATING ROGER FEDERER!!!!!!!!! HE IS THE KING OF CLAY ALRIGHT? THE KING OF CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love my baby. :) whoever dates me next time will have to contend with sharing my heart with Rafa. :P it was a really fantastic match. i was cheering and moaning and dying, much to my sis' irritation. can't help it. when watching a final like that, i'm bound to go a bit insane. roland garros always holds a special place in my heart, cos well, rafa won his first grand slam there :P, and it was the first grand slam i watched since 2005. and of course i wana visit paris sooooo badly!!!!!! so for the past 3 years, the winners haven't changed. female winner is justine henin and rafa is the the male champion. :D what can i say? I LOVE YOU RAFA!!!!!!!!! *muacks!*

right. so since i have got that off my chest, i will recount my past 6 days in shanghai for yingx's sake.

day 1: touch down at the airport. mum was worrying about whether the driver from the hotel would come to pick us up, but i was super cool about it. really, theres nothing to fret about. in the end they DID turn up, so mum worried for nothing. after we arrived at the hotel we unpacked and immediately started shopping!!! :D DUH. we had ajisen ramen for dinner, which you can find EVERYWHERE like starbucks, and shopped shopped shopped until i was dead tired. went back to the hotel and slept.

day 2: woke up, with much difficulty though cos my legs were still aching so much. we had breakfast at this cafe along nanjing road, which is the main shopping district and well, shopped some more. for dinner, we had our meal at this restaurant called Jade Garden strongly recommeded by my cousin, but we honestly felt the food sucked. went back to the hotel after that. mum wanted to shop somemore but i suggested we have an early night and wake up early tmr morning.

day 3: went to yu yuan, a place where they had all those old chinese buildings. it didn't really feel ancient cos you know, it was crowded with tourists and complete with a starbucks. -_-"' i tell you, i've never drunk so much starbucks in my life. after that we went to xintiandi, which i thought was another shopping place but was just packed with restaurants and bars. seesh. then we walked around the area to huaihai road were there were more shopping centres. i wanted to buy tennis balls but found that they were cheaper in Singapore. ended up having japanese bbq for dinner. nothing great really. i don't fancy shanghai food very much.

day 4: shop shop shop and more shopping! can't really remember what we did on this day. oh yes! now i do. we had breakfast at this dim sum place which was really huge and some waiters had to wear roller skates. then spent the whole day at this shopping mall, which of course we had a starbucks tea break in between. that shopping mall was FANTASTIC. my favourite mall ever. just for ladies stuff, they had like 3 levels. and loads and loads of brands!!! omg there were so many i thought my eyeballs would go pop. seriously, you can get lost in the place. mum and i were constantly wondering where we had walked before and where we hadn't. for dinner we had french food at the hotel Le Royal Meridian. i tasted my first fois gras and believe me, it was COMPLETELY AGAINST MY WILL. mum ordered it and told me to have it cos it was so expensive. i even cried and said a prayer for the poor goose. i didn't finish it anyway. i thought it tasted disgusting. went to bed early cos we had to wake up early for the tour to hangzhou the next day.

day 5: tour to hangzhou started at 7.45am. the bus ride was like 2.5hrs long. i was asleep of course. we first went to this famous temple, which i felt was totally violated by so many tourists. it has lost its serenity and that sense of exclusivitity already. too comercialised. similarly with xi hu, the feeling of nature has been lost. the sight of buildings in the distance totally spoilt the mood. i am finally feeling the detrimental effects of tourism. see? geography is so relevant in our lives. :P after that we went for lunch at this hotel where they served us sooooooo much food ok? there was at least 10 dishes plus a soup and there was only 7 of us in the tour group. and the portions were huge. the chef must positively hate us for wasting so much food. ended off the tour by going to the tea plantation where we tried the famous longjing cha, dragon well tea, for direct translation. it was really good! and after that, we hopped on the bus for a very long ride again back to shanghai. i tell you, mum must have visited every toilet we came across ok. she went so often and accused me of not going often enough! dude! i'll go when nature calls ok?! seesh!!! by the time we got back was about 7+pm. we had dinner at this doujiang place and we ordered zhajiang mian each. omg, they gave us sooooooo much noodle, it was scary. yingx, i think even your dad may have trouble finishing it. after dinner we went shopping for more souveniors, and my mum bought 11 cans of snacks to give away to people. we had to do a lot of major stuffing that night while packing.

day 5: had dim sum for breakfast again. i love dim sum! :) then left the hotel for the airport, which is like almost an hour's drive away. turns out we were early, and we spent our time walking around the place. omg i was soooooooo bored!! then finally we boarded our plane back home. :D we touched down about 7.30pm and dad came to pick us and wait for sis at terminal 1, where she was supposed to touch down at 8.05pm. but guess what, they were delayed 2 hours!!!!!! WTH!!!!! i nearly died waiting. finally she came out after i nearly lost my mind and we went home together. :) sounds like she had a really fun trip. hmph! i wanna go too!

yep. so that's it! boy, this must be my longest post in history. btw yingx! my mum got 4 of us the same shirt for souvenior! so you'll get it when your mum goes over. it's another 4 musketeers shirt!!!! keep it safe and wear it often k? :D i miss you yingxy. love you so so so much. when are you coming back? your brother says maybe august! NOOOOOOOO................ tell me it isn't true!! i can't wait that long!!!!!!!!! oh yes, just wondering. have you forgotten how to speak chinese already? :P

i'm trying to upload some pics but photobucket isn't working right now. maybe later folks!
