Another Qi-pu trip =)

41st day in Shanghai (10/10/07)

It’s the last day of my ‘4-days’ off and what I did the whole day was watched DVD, eat, shop, eat and watched DVD again.

Woke up in the morning at about 1030 to wash up and to get ready to go Qipu rd cox Kim wanted to buy some winter stuffs there.

So after washing up and while waiting for Joanne to get ready, we started watching Good Luck Cluck. Not too bad a show but I think some parts are quite porn..opps

After watching, we went to the Lan Zhou Beef Noodle shop for lunch and headed to Qipu rd.

On the way there, 2 things happen to me.

While walking across the overhead bridge (there wasn’t a lot of people at that time), I felt that there was someone behind me so I turned over and saw this guy suddenly turned away and behave very weirdly. So when I look at my handbag, I saw the last button on my bag open (but lucky I don’t put anything there). The man was still behind me at that time and I so feel like beating him up and send him to the police..

But then I realized that I shouldn’t do such thing cox it will be a waste of time and there wasn’t any evidence.. Besides, I believe that there are plenty of pickpockets around here and I don’t think the police will even bother.

Okie, so after I reached the wholesale mall that we frequent went (FREQUET?!?!?! Which mean that I have been here a few times spending a few hundred dollars each time already???? Okie doesn’t matter, that’s not the point), there was a motorcycle that was coming towards us and in order to give way, I step on a staircase slope.

And because my stupid slipper got no more friction already, I slipped and fell down. It was like SUPER EMBARRASS!!!! I was holding on to my papaya pineapple juice (left 1/10 of it) and when I fall, the drink splash on me.

So in the end, I got a few cuts on my leg and I got to shop with this papaya pineapple smell on my shirt. (SO YUCKY!!!!!)

But well, doesn’t matter coz in the end of the day, I bought what I wanted =) Bought my winter jacket, a leather jacket, a thick top, a red button shirt, a boot and a black shoe.

And I managed to exchange my spoiled top that I bought the other time with the same shop owner. What happen was while I was trying to find which shop it was, we went into this shop and look at the clothes, then the whole conversation was like this (in chinese)

‘Hey, I remember you guys. You all came the other time and bought some clothes from me. Remember? A jacket and 2 white top’

Then I got excited.

‘YES!!! Of course I remembered. The top that u gave me was a lousy one. There isn’t any button on it.. I want to exchange. Can i???’

‘okie, why not I cut out the button from another top coz I don’t have any more supply for the white one already.’

‘er.. so I have to sew it myself when I go home?'

‘Yes. We don’t have any needles and treads here.'

‘Well, then forget it. I will just exchange the whole shirt. I think this color isn’t that bad too’

‘Okie sure’

‘thanks’

I think I am just lucky. If the owner didn’t say that she recognized us, I wouldn’t know that that was the shop I am looking for.

So after shopping for quite some time until evening, we headed back home. Feeling hungry, we meet up with Jie Ying and went back to the Lan Zhou beef noodle shop to eat again. I think we are going to be regular customers there soon coz the food is nice and cheap =)

Went back home and Jie Ying came over and we show her what we have got. She can’t wait to go shopping with us haha. But I don’t think it will be any time soon coz I am super duper broke here!!!!

Watched The Game Plan and off to bed.
