Hello everyone! I’m back! 🙂 First of all, apologies for not being able to post anything while I was in Shanghai. My room didn’t have free internet connection!!! Oh my gawd! I didn’t want to pay for 1 full day since I knew I would be out every single day and be back at the hotel dead tired. Well, I don’t wanna complain about the internet anymore. I even have to be thankful that my sponsor gave me a suite. Thank you! Thank you! 🙂 I just wish I was able to share it with someone… Hehehe! 🙂

I didn’t even bother turning on this television. LOL! 🙂 Whenever I see the bedroom, I just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Looking at the photos above remind me of my apartment in London- the kitchen, living room, bedroom. Check out my post back then here. It’s like deja vu! Hehe! 🙂

The first 2 days were my free days (supposedly) but I ended up going out.
Saturday, I was in the salon for almost half a day c/o my sponsor. 🙂 Thank you again! 🙂

Then, off I went shopping! I walked from People’s Square to Huaihai Road (around 30-45mins walk) just for this… 🙂

I was inside H&M for almost 5 hours! OMG! Per diem gone! LOL! 🙂

Sunday, I went to the World Expo! Yay! 🙂 I really thought I won’t be able to visit the expo during this trip. You can just imagine how happy I was when I got the chance to go. It was really amazing!!! 🙂 It was like going around the world, minus the plane ride! 🙂 I’ll probably just share my World Expo experience in a different post. It definitely deserves to have a separate entry. 🙂 It was one great experience for me! 🙂 Special thanks to my good friend, Carla, for touring me around the expo. 🙂

Well, the rest of the days were pure work for me. It was a fun kind of work. Tiring, but I honestly liked it. 😉 My call time was as early as 6:30 am!!! I don’t mind waking up really early though if I get to try on really nice clothes and getting myself pampered. Hehe! 😉 I really enjoyed the experience! 😀 How I wish I could post some pictures here, but they said it’s not allowed. 🙁

Anyway, that’s it for now. I just wanna let everyone know that I’m back to regular posting. Hehe! 🙂

P.S. I just realized something!!! I left for London for work on the same day last year! Check out this post. September 17 must be a lucky day for me eh?! Hmmm… Now I’m wondering, where to next year?!?! And most importantly, what kind of work this time??? LOL! 🙂
