Company Farewell and Welcome Dinner

My second week in 外高桥Venture...


This is only the second week in e company and someone is leaving. Tts why I like to name this blog as "goodbye and hello", people just come and go. Because we just have to move on. Initially, I chosen process engineering before I came over. Who knows got cheated. I was allocated to another factory which is located at a further place from current house and my job scope also changed to purchasing. Well, I would just "逆来顺受" . Anyway, I believe 有得必有失。 Long travelling journey may be tired but the most important thing is we met good partners and friends.



**SOme CraZy peopLE who Loves to tAke photOS outside the toiLet.



This day everyone was there for dinner. This is my first time having meal in chinese restaurant in Shanghai. The dishes were ordered by the locals so I would suppose they are very 道地. Then somehow all the girls sat together and I was being sabo-ed to sit beside Johnson. They gave some lousy excuse like we are from the same country la should share the same topic la....Alright I understand who would like to sit next to lao ban plus he always got a stern face. I was hesitant but bo bian. I am just an intern, just take it. I was worried cos there werent much interaction between us every morning on the shuttle as we were all sleeping away.:p

Anyway, they were right. We share the same topic no matter how different your age and ur status are, as long as you share similar background, you would have something to spark off the conversation. Then, we ended with suan-ing each other..abit 大胆, but that's the fun part..imagine suaning ur superior. Let me show you how he look like.. he looks rather stern


**Johnson is the one in red.




**仇寅 our lead officer. His name is pronounced as Qiu2 Yin3. I think he has a typical Shanghai-ness look. 这是我印象中上海人的长相。


我还记得第一天上班的时候他突然来问我要不要"jia ban" when I haven even started doing anything yet. I was shock is he trying to kai wan xiao or wad. Then he shook his head and said "makan". Orhhhhh... so he was trying to say "jia berng" (eat in hokkien).




**This is Victor another from Mae with his badly permed hair. hahah He would kill me if he see this cos is vain!


**Pretty gals from purchasing department, my department!
Lili and Nellie.













**From left: Chai Wei (our new Planner), 。
Cheng Ping ( process engineer)meng right .I would always respect girls being an engineer,esp she is now the head of engine dept. 真的要向她看起!




Nellie!She is very pretty and 温柔咯 Always willing to explain things to me..











Our office is so cold that three of us are wearing like that when we are working. 千真万确!
Our Admin FangFang. We are of the
same age lor. 看不出吧。I was given a
mission by Johnson that is to help her
improve her english. Pls I really dont wish
to 误人子弟。


全家福。 Our management 大致上就这一点人,因为我们的厂规模比较小。当然,同事们之间也比较融洽。 我喜欢这种感觉。:)这促使我更有动力学习。

我感冒了

不知道怎么搞的,最近总是难以入眠。昨天吃了药想早一点睡觉, 可是因为还有一些activities going on in the house. 身为Light sleeper 的我即使吃了会使我昏昏欲睡的药还是没办法入眠。这几天没照顾好自己, 再加上有时会淋到雨, 就感冒了吧。昨天在大家的帮忙下煮了通心粉。 来到这里那么就这还是第一次吃的那么清淡。感觉非常好非常有成就感, 因为可以和他们分享。当然如果失败了, 我想我会有挫折感。 哈哈。还好, 评语并不会太差。 今天感觉好多了。可能是因为今天迟到了, 为了追地铁班车还跑了一段路, 出了一身的汗。希望今天能早一点入眠吧。不要再有任何的“杂念” 了。 明天下班后还有公司聚会。好了, good night every one!

Strawberry Farm Trip

It's a saturday and I still have to wake up at 7 pluS because we are going to the strawberry farm today. Thinking that it would be a very different experience to go to sub urban part of Shanghai and get away from the city. We gathered at the famous Lu Jia Zui to take a bus to the strawberry farm. This activity was actually organized by some NTU ppl and NUS alumni. Thus, group of friends who are living in puxi. The guys didnt come along as there are limited seats for us to book, and the Hi P guys would have to work on this sat. So on the journey there we just slept!

When we reached, it was still drizzling. I heard from them say the temperature at 郊外 is lower than in the city. Therefore, we had all our gears on. We were given boxes to pick some strawberries back. We took 2 boxes cos the guys also wanted to eat. As the whole place would be muddy, we had to protect our shoes by covering it with plastic bags.
I am on the right hand side!
We are ready to move!


一排排的草莓。。




Weighing strawberries and making payment. Wha guess how much its 115 rmb for 2 boxes! omg.

The Super Brand Mall aka zheng da guang chang which I think it is as big as the our Vivo city. As you can see the CNY decoration there isnt that elaborated as what we have in Singapore. So the 气氛没那么浓厚。And I realised that they love to place 很大的广告招牌and LCD screens outside the buildings which make the whole street looks very nice.


Back to Lu Jia Zui, we went to 正大广场 to eat Ajisen. It's like only half the price that of what we can find in Singapore. :> Sean you are right. Budden i think the soup is very salty.

This shop attracted my attention! It's a jigsaw puzzle shop. The designs they are selling are very unique. One would be the graphics by 几米。But the price of the things we can find in this mall is also very unique ar.
Something interesting ...
Toilet for children....



It's a bit of open concept.HAHa and I tested out the tap. All of them are not working! CHeck them out at 正大。


































1st time at 南京东路









First time taking train from Long yang lu.. there is a driver and a "door operator" who comes out when e train reaches every stop. super sian job..




充值车资卡。。they are using a system very similar to one we had in sin...it can even tell u ur travelling history from where to where and how much is it



Every cityhas it's 步行街. 南京东路步行街is one of the most popular ones here. This place is even more up than those we have in Sin.Maybe you would spot building that look familar esp those that are owned by Capital land. I can feel that I am in Sin lor. Then i realised some brands can even have e whole building by themself..super big lor. At night, the neon lights brighten the whole placeup. If Sin allows that kind of layout,I m sure it would also be as attractive.:)
Like suntec lor

One of my favourite gro photo. Good job oLi!

互拍!oli and i
成龙蜡像on the streets
