End of the end and Beginning of the Beginning
Anyone knows how to pronounce "Dior"? Yes I know, I sound very noob asking that kind of thing but really. Mommy says its "De-o" but I think it's "Dye-or". Opinions, people?
Enjoying myself through Shooee's mega upload of her three weeks in London. 497 pics. Whoo. Inspiring. Maybe I should put up my pics of Shanghai too.
Hope you all had a meaningful Christmas. It's been my busiest Christmas ever. Baking, wrapping, baking, wrapping, baking, wrapping, shopping, wrapping, baking. Lol! But I had fun. I think this has been the most memorable Christmas ever.
Shanghai. I enjoyed myself there, though I was constantly plagued by the thought that my lungs were getting abused by all the pollution. I think I shaved a month or so off my lifespan. Hahahaha!
But the thing about Shanghai is that to really enjoy it you have to get out of the major shopping streets and go walking about in the small streets, looking at various shops, getting real bargains, learning to cross the road when nobody cares about lights, jumping over various weird puddles and dark patches on the pavement (lol) and deciding what to buy and what to forgo.... ^^ The Shanghainese are as bu ke qi and forward as usual, but I think their service has improved somewhat.
We visited a house church on Sunday; I was really nervous about getting into trouble and all... kept praying... But it turns out the church is so well established the government leaves them alone! Hahaha. Mom's friend at the church even said that because of their reputation the government comes along once in a while to 'zhao gu wo men'. Lol. That is so funny. I want to see that, a communist government coming along to see if a house church is coming along ok.
The old couple whose house is being used really opened up their entire house. They stay up in the attic, the first floor is used for worship, the second level is where everybody else who can't fit in goes to the proceedings from a video cam. So cute.
Oh. And I didn't find the xiao long bao at cheng huang miao as nice as the ones that fei cui in Terminal 3 makes. Hahaha. Maybe it's just a cultural thing. Oh wells.
Oh oh. And I went to Raffles City in Shanghai. Courtesy of CapitaLand. ^^ Felt like a Singapore mall. Hahaha. Oh! And they have this BEEG Espirit store just opposite Raffles City. It's got 4 levels, and it's all Espirit! Unfortunately at this time of year all their clothing is particularly dull and boring and not very nice... But I got a pretty jewellery box from Raffles City.
Ah well. Elaine and Shooee are back in Singapore, and I'm glad for it. Been feeling very lonely. Also been feeling rather cold-shouldered, by a certain someone -.-" Maybe it 's just my imagination. Or maybe it would be rather pathetic to still be sending that letter...
Haish. I can't stand myself.
What the hey. I'm still sending it.
Haaah. Can't believe Christmas is already over. Sometimes though, I wish I could turn back time to one year ago, just for that moment again.
Merry Christmas everyone.
P.S. You know, I was reading my post from last year. I must say though, that I think I've grown so much in the past year I can finally accept the idea of going to the university. Somehow, I've come to terms with growing up. To a slightly greater extent. Slightly.
