Back to being alone in the apt

My temporary housemate finally left the apartment a little over a week ago. I now have the apartment back to myself. I can get back to showering or doing my needful in the toilet without closing the door, leaving the TV on late at night, farting when I feel like it, etc …..
After overdosing myself [...]

2008 finally over

A year gone, a year older, and yet none the wiser. My tagline used to be ‘a little older, none the wiser’. I guess it is still valid.
I got my new residence permit on the 31st of December. Actually my old permit was due to expire on 3rd of January, but since it’s public holidays [...]

Sick and no laptop

Caught a cold on Saturday night, as I slept in the living room (tout nu) with the windows open. Still trying to get well, but my “dear” colleagues switch the aircon on in the afternoon since the SH weather is heavy, humid and very hot. It has been raining a lot over the last 10days [...]

Misc. pictures

Some miscellaneous pictures I had in my handphone. Not very nice, but was bored.

The glaring yellowish thing on the floor IS snow. Picture taken of the train depot opposite my house.

Misty pictures of the Ferris Wheel in Jinjiang Amusement Park. That’s how most days are in Shanghai currently. Try to find the wheel in the [...]

Snowing now

It’s been very cold in Shanghai lately, and today it snowed a little in the morning, and it is snowing right now. I would have taken a distant shot of the building where trains stop if I had my camera with me, but I left it in Mauritius. There’s a little layer of snow that [...]

Update

Picture taken from 9tour.cn
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Been busy/lazy/whatever ….
I am now in Shanghai, feeling darn cold. I will spare the rants about Air Mauritius’s lack of Chinese music and movie channels not properly identifiable. There is no HK destination on the list of flights.
I moved into a small apartment, [...]

Can finally have a longer rest

My uncle’s finally gone back home after staying over here for more than a week. Don’t get me wrong. I like having my uncle here, and him staying over at my place is not problem. I gladly gave him my bed and slept on the sofa bed (which is too soft and not very good [...]

Sharing appt - rant about my housemate

I am probably going to move house YET again! One of my friends is telling me to move in with her because she has to move also. I have temporarily given my approval although I am not too happy to have to pack and move yet again… I mean, I have been moving like every [...]

Moving to Chaoyang

I’m moving to Shuduizi 水碓子, in Chaoyang district of Beijing at the end of next week, as my current rent agreement is coming to an end, and I have to move. Although the rent is about the same, I have to pay additional expense in terms of paying the connection fee for internet (about RMB200), [...]

Moving to Beijing

I plan to move to Beijing at the end of this week, where I will be spending the next few months taking mandarin courses and looking for a job there. Now, many people have been (more than) a little surprised. If for learning mandarin, why not stay in Shanghai and do it there? I mean, [...]
