A freezing day out

39th day in Shanghai (08/10/07)

Today is the 2nd day of my ‘4 days’ of offday and I practically stayed at home uploading all the photos and slack.

So after Joanne woke up at 6+pm, she said that she dun want to stay at home the whole day and wanted to go somewhere. At the same time, Jie Ying msged to say that she needs to buy a blazer so the initial plan was to meet her at八佰伴 after her work.

But until 7pm, she still didn’t called back and after a while, both Chang Fang and Jie Ying reached home. They looked sick after being drenched in the heavy rain in the morning and stayed in the air-con office for 8 hours.

The weather was really bad the whole day. It was raining and the wind was super cold. I was at home and Joanne was feeling cold.

Since the weather was still so bad at 7pm, we decided to just go down to one of the shop to eat and ‘da bao’ for Angela.

Even before reaching the first floor, we can feel the cold wind. And wat we were wearing were t-shirt and shorts plus a jacket. At that time, we were deciding if we want to continue gg out.
In the end, we still went to eat, after eating we plan to look for DVDs but couldn’t find any,. Then we went to the train station cox we wanted to buy egg tarts.

The whole trip was super fun. We kept laughing for the entire trip. Chang Fang said that the heavy rain was cause by the typhoon that might be coming again in these 2 days.

So throughout the trip, which was like there was a mini tyhoon, we saw people’s umbrella spoiled, holding on to their umbrella super tied and holding their umbrella right in front of them to block the wind (this was what we did too).

We keep taking photos of these shots and when we came out of the train station empty handed because the egg tart shop was closed, we walked pass a shop that sells ice-cream. I look at Joanna and asked if she wants to eat ice cream.

So the 2 crazy girls started licking their ice-cream in the middle of the street during this freaking freezing day and everyone along the street were staring at them like they were some abnormal creatures.

That was really crazy but it was fun. We went out for 1hour but it seems like 5 hours have passed. It was very tiring coz we were cold, we walked a lot and we laughed a lot. I think it was a good experience..
