A day in Hongkong
In our years of stay in China, we always wanted to visit Hongkong mainly because we’ve been in other major cities of China except for this particular city. So when we learned that we only have a few months left to stay in China, we grabbed the chance to visit HK.
Spring Break Ideas
My brother in law is thinking of visiting us here in Shanghai for his spring break vacation. He said that instead of going to Tunisia with most of his classmates, he’d rather spend his vacation here in Shanghai because he has been to Tunisia several times.
I don’t have anything against my brother-in-law coming to stay [...]
Home is Where the Heart Is
In one of my interviews, I was once asked if I am having a difficulty moving from one place to another, if I hate it, or if I hope that it ends soon.
You see, I do hate moving and that means packing, transporting and unpacking things. I think I moved from one place to another [...]
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 [...]
Welcome Me Back!
I am back but I am still not in the “blogging all day” mode. This is just a quick post to let MyPinkNotes.com readers that I am alive and I have so much to tell.
My “coming back” doesn’t mean Ruthi is going away so there’s no need for Ruthi’s fans to worry because you’ll [...]
The Nest in Beijing
Yep, that’s the Nest. This is where the (Beijing) Olympics 2008 is supposed to be held but until now it’s still under construction. I wonder if they could finish it before then. Unfortunately, no tourists are allowed to enter the vicinity yet so we can’t take a peep inside the building but from the outside, it [...]
A Smoggy Day in Beijing

I cannot remember how many times I’ve been in Beijing but this is by far the worst weather condition I’ve seen there. The sun was shining brightly and [...]
We’re Leaving on a C-Train
We’re leaving for Beijing later in the evening but not without having dinner in our favourite restaurant Sol Latino. Tonight, I’ll get the chance to take photos of the place and perhaps I can thoroughly write about it next time.
Becuase we are unlucky to get hard sleeper tickets instead of soft sleeper tickets, I’ll bring my own sheets so we [...]
Hard Sleeper
I went to the train ticket office yesterday to buy some tickets for our upcoming Beijing trip. I was meant to buy four roundtrip soft sleeper train tickets. The idea was Marcus, Daniel, Anne and I will be travelling together in one cabin. That would be fun.
Unfortunately, soft sleeper tickets are sold out so I [...]
