Carissa's update

Some of Carissa's latest pictures :)

Qi Bao 七宝

Qibao is an old town.... near the Shanghai snow city.... The place had lots of yummy snacks.... and was recommended in a local TV program. It is quite fun, but maybe should go in a bigger group so that we can try more of the snacks.... hehe... also due to winter, the night falls early and they close early .....

Mushland Park in Shanghai

During the earlier part of the month, before we made a trip back to in-law's place... we actually came across this mushland park which was newly open. Located north of the Huang Pu River mouth, it is actually quite a distance to go... taking one of the mrt line nearing the terminal station.

Maybe Shanghai is so big, but there is their own taxi company in this area with a cheaper flag down fare.

I guessed we went at the wrong time... was quite chilly on that day ... Maybe summer would be a better time to go there, have a slow stroll and enjoy the sea breeze .... not freezing in the sea breeze haha...

their very own taxi company

Snow in Shanghai

Guess by the time i publish this is already old news. News in Sin had already reported massive delays and energy shortage due to the snow storm... with another big one set to hit town next week. According to scientist, they think this could be caused by la lina effect .....





initially when the snow first started it causes a lot of excitement... it had been a long while since shanghai had a snow fall....never did we expect it to last so long to caused a whiteout in PVG...

Also coincidentally a group of us were also affected by the lina effect at Hooters...
haha

Lina the new waitress on the block at Hooters

Recently came across this picture.....

I really wouldn't mind if thats my partner in the cockpit ..... ;-)


anybody guess which aircraft is this ??

Its Caviar Time !!!

In Harbin, there are a lot of shops selling Russian stuffs. Items range from field bino to ladies pocket mirror that comes with exquisite casing... For me... is the caviar that caught my eye.... since coming to PVG, long time no chance to eat it til now.....

A group of us gather to savor the delicacy ....like the chinese saying 独乐乐不如众乐乐...is more fun to try the russian caviar together.

hows the presentation ?? can pass ?



yum seng !!



thanks to them ... we got a chance to taste don perignon

Happy New Year 2008 !!!

Wow.....

End of Jan 2008 already .... Already only 11 months more before 2009... !! hehe.... A few more days gonna be Chinese New Year .... Doing my First flight of 2008 now... after this flight going to go back to my in-law's place for chinese new year .... looking forward for all the firecrackers and fireworks .... but dreading the cold....

this year the winter is quite cold as you can see from the news, the snowfall was quite heavy and a first since many years in Shanghai ...

Sorry if i am abit late in my postings... cause in PVG no time to just sit down and relax and think about what to write ... there are too many distractions hehe.... of course they are wonderful distractions like Carissa and Jessica haha....

Carissa is growing up well... She is 3 months now... She is very curious about her surroundings always looking at lights and aircon... sometimes she will try to talk to the air-con when she is alone... quite a funny sight to look... people say she see at this point of time, but sometimes i really doubt it as she will always smile back to you if you smile at her....


For the past month we had went to a few places around Shanghai for tour and I also head to Harbin to take a look at the Ice and Snow sculpture festival... of course carissa and jessica did not follow along ... is too cold... about -26 degrees c....

I am still sorting out the photos and will soon post them hopefully tomorrow.... for you all to see. For now gotta go for dinner and rest and see u all soon !!
