Got Enough Holidays
I am back and I have lots to tell.
For now, I can only give you the summary of what I’ve been up to the last couple of months because I don’t want to write a novel (hehe).
And so…I think I have mentioned that on the second week of December, I had my exam and I [...]
Sleeping in the Subway
For Westerners like my husband, it always amazes them to see people dozing off in the most uncomfortable and noisiest places.
This is not a big surprise for me because in my country, most people also have no trouble sleeping… anywhere. In PUJs, bus terminals, airports, waiting sheds, etc. You name it. Although this might [...]
Growing Friendship
In four week’s time, my German lesson will be over and there will be a long break before the next course will start. I am please that not only my German is improving; my social life seems to be getting better as well. Earlier in my study of German, I was somewhat distant to my [...]
Evening Sight-Seeing
The Shanghai Financial Trade Center, world’s current second tallest building, officially opened its doors to the public sometime in August. This building is next to Jin Mao Tower, another skyscraper. According to rumors, the opening on top of the Shanghai Financial Trade Center building was originally planned to be a circle but because it would [...]
A Day of Living in Shanghai
We’ve been searching for electronic stores in Shanghai and there are a lot actually but we have not seen a big one until we saw Metro City some weeks ago. We promised to go back there and so we did.
Last Sunday, Marcus and I went back to that electronic market to buy me an iPhone [...]
A Present for Me
I got my birthday gift a month earlier! We went out last Sunday to shop for my gift. My husband bought me an iPhone for my birthday and since my birthday is still a month from now, he told me that I am not to use my iPhone yet until that day but I am [...]
Inferiority Complex Attack
Emily, one of my Irish friends I mentioned in my earlier post, decided to stay in Shanghai to live with her boyfriend. I consider them friends because we spent a lot of time together in the last few weeks and Emily’s boyfriend is a colleague and friend of my husband. Emily’s sister Tina already went [...]
Block Unknown Numbers
I was awakened last night because our landline kept ringing. I thought to just pretend that it doesn’t bother me and that I am sleeping soundly so my husband will answer it but turn out that my husband had thought of that too. After several rings, I was not able to take it anymore so [...]
Going to a Costume Party
In line with the upcoming Halloween, Marcus’ company decided to hold a costume party. A few week ago, we discussed about it and we started to think what our costumes will be. First, he said he wanted to go as Dracula but who is the partner of Dracula? Winona Ryder? I cannot really remember but [...]
Dressing Up for Autumn
I have to admit that it is a little bit difficult for me—a tropical girl—to pair up clothes for autumn. This is not my first autumn but I still didn’t learn how to properly dress up for it.
For regular autumn day, I think I can manage—jeans, sweater, and jackets. That is basic. But you see, [...]
