!st post in Shanghai

Guys and gals, I am finally here, @ the land of the pearl! Its weird that I cant seem to see my own blog but i can actually post stuff. Apparently, i think China blocked out blogspot. They have quite tight control over the media content here 1.

Anyway to summerise my life here, the weather here sucks, its so freaking hot here n its drier. the places here is ok, quite a few places to shop n look ard n quite modern also. Certain places can be very crowded @ times esp the train during peak hours. Yest we really got squeezed into sardines!!! i am nt kidding, its really flat sardines and everyones bodies is touching one another's n if u leave ur both feet above the ground u wont fall down!!! worse still, 1 of the train doors can malfuction and all hav to squeeze to the other exits to alight and board lor. haha.. really an eye opener.

The people here, gosh, rude rude rude ppl. esp those working for public services like MRT or bus counters or super markets. it is as if they can die if they tell u more info. we always got rude responses when we ask ard for directions or other things. and they like to quarrel and argue in the public at the top of their voice attracting out curious stares. haha..

As for my own house, hai... really got 101 things happened lor. something's wrong here, something's wrong there and once 1 thing got fixed, something else will b spoilt again. n the area i'm living in is quite ulu as compared to the city area. the surrounding areas r quite dark, its either no lamps or it is spoilt or watever. the lift has no ventilation at all. alamak! best thing is, during 1st nite our house water pipe burst n almost flooded the entire house. i really think this yr i got 水灾命.

I guess my experience is too much to be written n summarised here and i am getting tired now. recently had been too hectically going around shanghai and to say the truth, i am nt used to the life here and am wondering how the hell i am going to get use to it.

*shrug*
