take a breather

sorry for the disappearance. I have been working non-stop since 20th feb.

Although I managed to escape from office for these 2 days, I’m unfortunately down with a bad sore throat and slight fever. And I still have some work on hand to complete before Monday comes.

Anyway, I will try my best to update. It has been an eventful month for me – so much tears of joy and unhappiness.

I will backdate my entries, so scroll down to read over the next few days!

the red wine, the puke, the drip

On the 2nd day of CNY, I had lunch with my distant relatives. A group of people whom my parents probably have not met before as well.

I drank a little too much – bottoms up 4 glasses of red wine.

And I started puking all over when I left the restaurant. I wasn’t that drunk as I could bring myself to the toilet and I did remember that I have a train to catch in the evening.

So, I tried very hard to keep myself sober, packed my luggage and insisted on taking the train.

Thankfully, I made it to the station on time though i was feeling really terrible.

Somehow, I felt so stressful, lonely and disappointed in myself when I stood by the platform.

It was cold and as the chilly wind blew against me, I broke down into tears but I managed to calm myself down just before the train stopped in front of me.

During the train journey, I felt so nausea and puked twice – there wasn’t anything left to puke and therefore, it was my gastric juices.

At that moment, I knew I wasn’t drunk. I supposed I had gastric flu.

I pulled myself together and endured till Shanghai. Luckily, I got a friend to pick me up from the train station and drove me to the hospital.

And there, I got my fair share of the drip. 2 bottles.

I needed to recover in the fastest time possible. To be able to spend time with Kelvin. =)

google me

A friend of mine felt gulity and confessed that he googled me.

I guess he was concerned that I might not be aware of what’s there on the internet.

Seriously, i’m cool about people googling me. I know what’s there out on the net, nothing unethical or whatsoever. I’m not famous and there’s nothing much about me anyway.

He claimed and stressed that he saw the MSU09 stuffs only.

However, I find it extremely dubious.

So, Mr. Friend, if YOU are reading me, you better own up soon or pray that I will never find out about it.

I hate it when people 睁着眼睛说瞎话.

There’s nothing wrong to read me, so why do you want to cover it up?

I got pissed off at dinner earlier this evening.

We brought 4 bottles of red wine, 2 cabernet sauvignon and 2 merlot.

The waitress just had to open a bottle of each and poured without taking note of it.

(Hello~ You don’t mix 2 different bottles of wine in the same glass.)

If this didn’t happen, the company dinner would have be excellent.!

apartment shopping

Hello everybody! – Greetings from the freezer!

I’m good in Shanghai. It’s been a really busy week for me.
Daytime at work, night time doing up my apartment.
Gotta get some necessities tomorrow and I should be ready to move in!

i’m kinda reluctant though. check out the 2 views below and you will know why.
1. my friend’s apartment view which i’m staying at now:

2. my own rented apartment:

luckily there’s Ikea to save the day. Went to shop for my place and spent 900rmb.
And of course, I wouldn’t miss out on the swedish meatballs!!!!

oh, did I mentioned it snowed lightly the other day?
but it was rain + snow, not really fantastic.
looking forward to a nice snowy day!
