Flower Power

Went on a business trip to Taiwan recently. I had thought it was a reward trip for all the management team. But when we were already there thanking the sun, the moon and the earth (and God) for our good fortune in this company, we were all kindly requested to pay 1500 RMB (~300 SGD) and apply 4 days annual leave in the system. To be with a bunch of people who have no considerable amount of any personal relationship with one another, forced to sit for long hours in a tour group and going on a journey none of us chose... all in the name of team building.

Anyway, enough of gripe. While stuck on the bus with these guys, I just realized that I am one of the rare individuals with a idiot camera in my bag. Simple idiot stuff. Point and shoot. Point and shoot. While the rest of the group had those cool black stuff with extra long long extensions. While I might brush it off as a male vs female thing, somehow deep in me, there was a feeling of smallness that started to grow. It didn't help when I took a quick peek at their pics. Sigh...

Just before I threw my cam out of the window, I found a pic I took sometime ago in my cam. Not bad afterall I think...














I am keeping my camera.

Cup Noodling Up in the Air

Have been doing a lot of travelling recently. Found it quite cute that United Airlines give us cup noodles from Los Angeles to Shanghai. And they made sure it's CHINESE Cup Noodles. Small, cute and unhealthy like most Chinese food.




















And I didn't know cup noodles are called "Ramen" in Japanese.

Nanjing Small Lobsters

Went to Nanjing mid-Apr. Had a feast full of the largest "small lobsters" (小龙虾) I have ever seen and they tasted really good!

VIP Now!

Yup, we are officially knighted as the VIP customers of a local Japanese restaurant in Shanghai. Finally! 3 visits per week for a period of 2 months, they finally took courage to offer this VIP card. It's time they did!

We are not going there so often any more now that we know there's such thing and they did not offer it to us earlier.
