How much is ’so much’? It is ambiguous.

All I want now is to laze on my cozy sofa, listen to Hotel Costes, read a book and eat my coffee bread.

I moved to a new place since I came back from Taiwan.  I was taken aback by the amount of stuffs I had in my little cozy apartment when I started moving. It does scares me on how I am gonna bring everything back to Singapore.

I love my new place to the bits!

I wish I could remain here till time calls out to me, but it is pointless for me to stay on in Shanghai.

ok, I have lots of overdue photos and posts from events, Wenzhou, Beijing and Qingdao.

Will update real soon, once I’m able to take a breather from work.

Slogging at X GAMES ASIA now..

The only thing that keeps me going now is looking forward to my 1 week break in Taipei!!!!

Come quickly, Tuesday.

this event was held in Shanghai though, but I insisted on staying at the hotel, given the crazy working hours.

workers busy setting up the graphics and racks…

the setup lasted through till 4:30 in the morning and I had to bring my boss through the progress at 8am.

we customized our props and i’m keeping the thermal bottle!
And due to unclear instructions, we did not make pillow cases with the cloth given to us. Therefore, I took sewing kits from the hotel and churned out 2 pillow cases on the spot.
With that, everyone started commenting on the motherly side of me…. -_-”

I was put in charge of the part-timers (undergrads) again, plus the common area graphics and directional signs.

It’s no easy feat to handle 40 over of them. Shanghai students are indeed different from the ones we had in Xiamen.

I think I did a terribly poor job this time round.

Anyway, we celebrated 3 of their birthdays on the last day as they coincide with the event.

Despite having some problematic students, some of them were really helpful and nice.

And it’s so sweet of them to request a photo with me.
Side note: Do I look much older than them?

April is coming to an end. I am counting down to my days in Shanghai, 2 more projects and i’m done with my internship.

What’s next?

For just a week though.

I can’t wait to be back in the arms of my comfort zone!

oh yes, I’m heading off to Beijing tomorrow,  Guangzhou on Tuesday night, follow by a day trip to HK on Saturday. And I’ll be back in Shanghai for 1 day before flying back to Singapore!!!

While I’m working my butt off now for my events next week, I’m already planning my schedule for Singapore.

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!

to something..

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.!

————————————————-

my place is 80% done up. I like my little cosy hideout!

before makeover:

after spending a month’s pay:
(taken on the day I moved in, pardon for the messy bed!)

the decals were done by the previous tenants…
I see Betty Boop when I shower.

my lovely IKEA kitchen.

It’s really a headache to cook for just one share.

My 1st attempt in soups:
Ribs + Corn + Carrot + Melon. =)

Been couped for a week in the hotel for the 4-days tradeshow event. Oh boy was it tiring.

Few hours after I landed in Xiamen, I went down to Ji Mei University with my colleagues to meet the undergrads that are helping out in the event.

I felt kinda weird since I’m like them, an undergrad. But of course, I couldn’t reveal my identity.

There was a welcome dinner cum fashion show, hence explains the stage setup:

This is one of the biggest hotel in Xiamen, with 1000+ rooms!

How wish the runway was mine to walk. 1m high, 24m long.

Looks good yeah?

My job was to helped out the fashion show coordination, take care of the models and students plus meals and some logistics. I felt like a mother of so many throughout the event. Lunch, Dinner, Snacks. Thank god for the nearby supermarket. I always come back with heaps of snacks.

This is the lunch box that I’ve gotten for every meal. It’s only 9rmb and it taste alright.

On the last day with the students, year1-4s.  And yet they call me Jeanine姐. -_-”
My colleagues at extreme sides.

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!
