Jade Buddha Temple.
Horrifying queue. Like a few hundreds in front of us. The moment we stepped out of the taxi, all the vendors rushed up to us and offered to sell tickets at a higher price so we dun have to queue. Obviously, nv buy lah. The queue was damn fast anw.
Look at the amount of crowd. Dun you wish you are at home sleeping?
Da xiong bao dian. The reason why pple should buy wide lens camera. *LOL* Mine was the widest of all digital cam but still couldn't capture the whole of da xiong bao dian. Have to give it to the DSLR.
When we make a donation in SG or make a wish, we dropped the cash into the coin box, but the pple here do it very differently.
They made the coins stand, so if your coin stand, it means your wishes will come true. How true? I dunno...
Or make the coins stick to the altar or whatever you call that.
I guess there are some magnetic field there.
If not they try to aim and throw their coins into some padoga.
Trying very hard. *teehee* But still couldn't get it in, aiyah, too greedy... Should just aim the lowest holes instead of the highest one right.
I dunno is it because this is a tourist place, everything little things require you to fork out some money. Knocking this bell costs like 20SGD. The joss stick is 5SGD if I am not wrong. They have like whole stretch of different joss stick ranging from safety & wealth to family & health. So you just choose whatever you want and greedy pple have to fork out more money. *muahahahha*
This is beautiful. Next time, I can have it in my garden. *LOL*
Oh I forgot. The jade buddha temple is famous for its beautiful Jade Buddha and buying tickets at the entrance is not enough, you have to buy another tickets at 5SGD if you want to see the Jade Buddha. I mean you are already there at the Jade Buddha Temple and of course you are there to see the Jade Buddha right... Clever tactics to earn tourist money.
That is me at the backyard where all the monks are staying. I took this photo bcoz I was angry I couldn't take a photo with the Jade Buhhda... yes... Stictly no photography and then later they try to sell you some Jade Buddha postcard.
I hope they do this because this is a tourist attraction. If not this is seriously bad.

Dash underscore Dash...
Left the Jade Buddha temple for Plaze 66 or was it 99 *muahahahha* where all the high end boutiques are. Strictly no photography in the mall and god the service sucks like a million times worse than This Fashion. LV staffs totally ignored everyone who went in bcoz they are afraid if they stop staring at their fingernail for a second, it might grow a yard longer. *Rolls eyes*
Starbucks
I enjoyed starbucks in SH.
Bcoz everywhere is like NOBODY.
Yeah... Nobody! Please... In sg, Starbucks is always too crowded to be the atas 3rd place or whatever they trying to create. Well, it is a bit too expensive as compared to the Chinese standard of living.
Some emo shots at starbucks. er... you can ignore them. *LOL*
Green tea frapucinno (or whatever the spelling is)... Totally gross out! They make it tooo sweet. Taiwan one is by far the best.
Cheng Huang Miao
Where you find beautiful old architecture.
Its like back to the dynasty period.
It looks deserted but actually damn crowded. And it was raining, lotsa lotsa vendor walking and selling umbrella like 2SGD, soooooo cheap. I bought one and the moment I opened the umbrella, the metal broke... Wow... I was stunned for like a 5seconds, I know its made in china but... but...
Red lantern everywhere for CNY.
CHM is huge... this is another street with endless stores...
Shanghai old street. A street where they sell lotsa vintage stuffs and those mao ze dong revolutionary stuffs. Seriously cool! I love vintage stuffs.
Random shopping shots.
Shopping for bra. Bras are all... ALL ok... lacy in SH. Dun try your luck on tee-shirt bra. *LOL*
Nothing. Just ignore this.
Some spelling mistake in Long Zhi Meng shopping mall. Yes... I am comming! I say I am comming right! *evil laughter*
Xin Tian Di
If you wanna meet a lot of ang mohs... This is a place to come. About 80% of the pple at XTD are ang mohs.
A very beautiful place with lotsa bright trees.
More bright trees.
And even more bright trees. I like XTD, not that I am SPG but because I get to eat good food. I went for superb German food and the bill came at 300+SGD for 2 person share. *faint* Ang moh money very easy to earn!
I heard there are some galleries there for tourists to visit and experience the old Shanghainese housing. I guess this is what the galleries are like but I only have one shot of it and it is blur. *hangs head*
Pretty and dark laid-back alleys. I likey.

This is just right at the foot of my apartment. I wun go hungry anytime of the day. Surrounded by lotsa eateries and cafe.
Fox Town which is the mall beside my building, it is an outlets store. But I think they are out to con pple bcoz how can an Esprit jacket cost 200SGD after 50% off?
Did I mention? I think I didn't... that my bed crushed the second day I arrived. I am not that fat ok, its not my fault, er... the bed is made in China one ok... So I went to Ikea which is opposite of my apartment and bought... of course not a bed lah... some equipment to fix it.
Deng Fei plaza which is a street away from my apartment is Singapore one. Why I said that is bcoz whenever I walked passed the mall, I will see some white statues outside but I nv really notice until one random day...
I saw him with a merlion T-shirt wearing what typical singaporeans wore - filpflops... Coincidence? Noo... What is he carrying?
A freaking durian lor. And not pain?
That's not all...
There is also a Malay in their malay costume somemore. Pardon my pose, I was supposed to imitate him. What's with his pose anw? So funny. Malays dun pose lidat back in my country one leh.
I look damn hideous coz I just woke up, haven brush my teeth and I was already looking for Breakfast. *muahahahaha*
And an indian. She is dancing right?! Dun scare me by telling me she is posing.
Then caucasian trying to play golf? Wah... All four races of Singapore. *LOL*
Very bad protrayal of the Sunny Island nation yah; *hahaha* Either we wear flipflops or we dun wear shoes at all. If not we give weird pose, lying on a durian or try to play golf with umbrella. *evil laughter* This is funny!!
Road sign and the beautiful houses behind. This is on the way to Carrefour which is hundred miles away from my apartment *LOL*
In Carrefour, the pot used to contain the rice is damn big.
Crossing the road. I think road under construction.
*Muahahahha* This is funny.
"hey where you got your shirt from?"
"From Clio Coddle"
The crocodile also damn fat lah. Need to hit the gym soon!
Clion Coddle... Honestly!
Whole stretch of Salon. All with the Swirlling thing.
Who says only HDB use bamboo to hang our clothes...
More shots of the beautiful stadium.
One more. I hope the govt build one like this for the National Stadium.
Finally I am coming home. All mine! Cant imagine I stayed here for 2 and a half freaking week and 1 and a half week all alone.
Actually I have 2 gigantic lugguage but I was afraid I couldn't squeeze them into the taxi so I left one large lugguage at Jon's place and separate the rest into small bags.
You must be wondering how can I escape the lugguage charge... *LOL* I did escape. Just have to keep flirting with the counter staff... Kidding lah. The counter stuff was like one hell of a rude guy. I shared it with other passengers who were there for business trip.
Nan pu da ciao. I am coming home.
Nan pu da ciao. I am coming home.
You're afraid your precious lugguage might get scratched? Fret not! SH airport has it solved all for you. *LOL*
Of course, you have to pay!
Me posing with the Shanghai tourism mascot before I check in. I wonder what he is? A tear? A drop of water? Hmmm...
Bye SH! Oh wait... this look like Korea airport. Or was it? Did I mix it up? I hope I didn't. And home sweet home. Nothing is better than home!
