the outside of the train, not a very professional pic...
xiaolongbao! shanghai is crazy abt it, served it almost every restaurant we went. youtiao was freaking oily!
i tought this was a cute fire extinguisher box (as it is stated in the pic). haha
at the 4D show. had to wear that special glasses. lol, i look weird cos of my flat nose!
trying out archery. outof 3 tries only one shot within the circles, another went too high, the other went too low. lol, im so lousy, but not but for 3 tries. i had tried archery a few times in the past, but nvr practised
in a cool magic room where the floor was slanted at an angle and we had to lean 45 degrees backwards in order to feel stable. if we stood upright, we would feel like falling over and slam into the wall in front.
the professional explanation
at the entrance stood liu xiang with the country flag. this demonstrates how the china people treasure their olympic hero.
madame tussauds wax museum!
with the guy i derived my previos nickname in school. presenting to u, mr albert einstein.

blur... the oriental peearl tower. taken when on the cruise along the shanghai bund. i still remember shivering in the cold! it was raining and there was strong wind.
it's not very clear, but can u see the signs under the expressway? it was kind of confusing at first, then my buddy explained to me why it is so. she said the the 2 arrows on the right were a different junction from the one on the extreme left. so t he road was like an inverted F.
fishing at ma shan farm. caught none! but it was fun!
look! so much food! till the waitress had to stack plates up in order to have space for more plates!
nice cliff! really nice scenary!
yun yun and shariel who were sitting opposite me in the sampan like boat
in a cave with a hollow ceiling! very cool place, had achoes when u spoke.
me, chen lao shi (my funny chinese teacher), jinting
with wu lao shi, the all time fav in our school
with mr lim, the wackiest and lamest joker. my a maths teacher for this year too.
me and nice scenary! and the air was cool and shiok!
jiangong school in shaoxing. they was pretty hospitable! had a red banner to 're lie huan ying' us
their school definitely has more green then ours and the compound is much bigger
the students ride bics to school. reminds me of the jap high school dramas i have watched, like 1 litre of tears!
their field and basketball courts. their field is the full 400m field and is where they hold their assembly. they also have about 3 basketball courts, an indoor sports hall, and table tennis tables etc. so much more then what our school offers. well singapore=shortage of land too.
the supre talented art students. :)
the last look of the school. in the bus and it was raining.
one night at shaoxing, we celebrated mr lim's birthday. the teachers!
mr lim and his cake. i felt like caking him, but was aware of the dire consequences! so i of course didnt!
caught a roti prata man! a rare sight! spotting an indian in china was so rare that he was the only dark skinned soul i had seen (apart from south african tourist), what more, he could speak fluent chinese!
at lu xun's native residence. (this guys loves to smoke too, something that makes me less admire him)
the zhou family greeting hall, where they attend to guest. zhou family is another term for lu xun's famliy. his surname was zhou, lu xun was his pen name only
lu xun, the great writer. once alive, long gone.

a hugh buddha carved from a rock. it was very magnificant! u can compare its size to the people. and there was a bird resting on its right index finger. a cute sight.
friends n i on the path fit for a wedding ailse! 
at yue fei's mauseleum. i liked this hero the day i read about him when i was young. his story is just too tragic!
a effigy of him, he looks rather grand!
the leifeng pagoda of the legend of madam white snake.
isnt this beautiful? these rows flowers greeted us on both sides in the flower garden
this is so splendid! furthermore, there were a few squirrels scurrying about, making this place seem so picturesque

tea bushes on a hill. a hill provides the favourable conditions for growing tea leaves.

along the old canal at suzhou.
the hotel at suzhou. the toilet had glass walls! good thing there were screens!
i found this display of flowers soooo beautiful and unresistable, so i had to take a pic
evidence of the legend of the stone cuting sword comes true in my eyes
this is a pagoda that was preserved since its time. :)
at the foot of the hill
the majestic oriental pearl tower
in the OPT, nothing to see lah
