View of the school library from the pavilion. Its pretty near to my hostel and the view is lovely.

Needless to say, but definitely, love Singapore more!

Spring is here! Today’s weather was exceptionally good! The very first night I can live without my thick black jacket… hahaa.. I simple love this weather! First time taking the public bus from xuhui to minhang because we missed the last sch bus at 930. Basically, after you board the bus, you don’t have to pay first because once the bus leaves de stop, the conductor will ask you where you are heading to, and at the same time collect ur bus fares. They have a 交通卡 which is similar to our ez link, just that you have to hand it over to the conductor and she will tap the card for you.. according to where you heading. I guess this basically helps by providing a lot more jobs for the people.

Warm day, I guess the highest temperature today was like 20 degrees. very nice weather to be outdoors. And today I experienced an extremely crowded train for the very first time in shanghai or rather in my entire life. Took the train during the peak hour at abt 6pm. You don’t even have to move a step to get into the train because basically you will be pushed into the train. And the train ride was the very first time I perspired ever since I arrived in Shanghai. In fact, one of my lecturers pointed out that I should try to take the train during the peak hour to experience it. Well, I did.. haha.

The surprising thing is that the change of season occurred almost immediately. There was like no gradual increase in temperture. On 22/03, de weather is still like 10 degrees I think.
But on de 23rd, its already 20 degrees.

Went bowling for the first time and my very first attempt was a strike! Hahaa.. I guess this is really the beginner’s luck. Because the subsequent attempts were money down the drain. Hahahaa. But I had great fun! I'm glad I joined them for dinner and bowling.

An unplanned trip to Pudong! We followed the students here for a field trip to Shanghai Stock Exchange. But it was kind of disappointing because there was no trading and the time we spent in the building was shorter than the time taken to travel there. But the good thing is that we got a free trip to pudong!

This is what we saw..

This is the group of local students I played cards with during the trip to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Played 2 games. one of which is 明皇暗保 and I can't remember what's the name of the other one. They are the ones who made the trip there enjoyable!.. It reminds me of excursion trips back in Cresecent and JC. Those were the days.. hahaa

I think we were all taking a photo of 金茂大厦。 中国第一高楼。

Views of 外滩 from pudong. I prefer the view of the bund from pudong than the view of pudong from the bund.

Dinner at 小南国。I think it was the best meal in Shanghai so far. Each of us spent less than S$10 which is considered cheap for the standard of the food and the environment.

I present to you... the food we had that night!
