Despite the fact that I just told Mary I wouldn't have time to update until next week and work is only 1.5 hr away (it's 7:27am now, yes, I am up working on my bed), I wanna drop down some notes really quick about these two days... coz it's definitely not pleasant at all.
I got pick-pocketed on my way to Viv's place on Sunday night. My new Lumix got stolen. The most heart broken thing was I only backed up pictures til last Wed, so everything from Wed to Thursday are gone, including pics from our ladies night (Olivia got a hot Brazilian lap dance, Kenny's bad acting at work, and French dinning on Sat).
Things got from bad to worse afterwards. Pedestrian stopped and we called the police. USELESS! Not only that they weren't helpful at all. They were just playing around. Nightmare began when they took me to police office to make record. Everyone there wasn't doing anything. More interested in me than the camera itself. Took a f-ing hour to write the worst report ever. There're two page about where I am from, how old i am, where I live, what nationality I am, blah blah, and ONE SENTENCE about the camera and NOTHING about the pickpockets. WONDERFUL!
Finally left the hell, then I received calls from the police office every 5 minutes the whole night!! asking if they can come up to my place to make a copy of my passport! told them it was not with me, and I wasn't home, then he went if everyone was home, he could go up himself!!!!!
I even got call from them at 1am and 2 missed calls yesterday!
When is this gonna end?? Shanghai is a torture.
side note: David is arriving tonight.

Blogger, i am back
Just a quick greeting before I started writing my new life in Shanghai in 2010. A couple things for quick note for what I've gone through so far:
1. Shanghai is "INTERESTING." - friends here know I almost abuse the use of this word now... very interesting, indeed.
2. I got sick the 3rd day here. SH was cold.
3. Suffered through the 1st week culture shock, parents and Timmy came visit for a weekend... moved into a lovely apartment with my lovely roommate, Franzika.. show u guys her pics later. Friends, u should come visit. It's cozy and nice. Best part is... it's only 2 blocks away from workplace! Work @ 9am, I left home @ 8:56am.
4. Lovely coworkers. Even chinese coworkers speak very good English. Impressive!
5. Frances and Brett. Frances and Brett. My best two friends in SH... esp, thanks for being the best foodie friends. Food in SH is YUM!
6. New Year Resolution in progress. Sign up for Phyiscal, the gym. Got a personal trainer, aka, coworker Kenny, the hardcore trainer. (my arms are still sore from training while writing now)
7. BIG EVENT: VPN SET UP!!!! finally back to regular internet life.
8. a few minutes later: Hard Drive died. No computer to use for 2 weeks.
there're more to share. but it's 12am now. bed time. To be continued, CIAO!
