back from shanghai

i'm back! but not from a vacation!!

this year's easter overlapped with our ching ming festival n thus could go no where...
n unfortunately... a business trip "touched the edge" of my holiday!! >< n i'm not yet told of any compensation leave... probably no... it would indeed be possibly... poor me...

after the so-called five days' holiday.... i'm even more tired than before!!!!

first day of the holiday: went for a "spa" treatment... not really a spa :P just a massage section... n is part of 'chinese medical treatment'... then had lunch with mum n aunties... after that went for a hair treatment... both color n treatment... another three hours (almost!)... then shopped for the kids' "bon bon" with mum... when back home... it's already half six!!

second day of the holiday: had a long sleep till 10!!! yoga... n at the same time watching japanese tv drama.. :P lunch... shopped with mum.. tried to find a suitable vast but failed... then went to Taikoo shing for the movie "sunshine" with tim... great show i think... at least i think 真田広之 is very cool... though not that much acting... :P home for dinner as i needed more time for packing things! :P

third day of the holiday: early departure! got the 8:40am ship(?) / ferry (?) to Zhuhai... arrived there at ~10:00am... 'poorly' we're the 1st arriving there so we went to "yum cha"... went to visit my great grand mother at the age of 96... she couldn't recognise us this year.. last year she was sleeping when we were there... the year before last... she recognised me as my mum... set off to the... wht should it be called? it's neither a graveyard nor a cemetery... but a place for hosting the passed-away's ashes... set off at around 12:00noon... after a series of chinese customs... we finished the 'ceremony' and had lunch at 1:30pm... a very long lunch that we proabbly finished at around 3:30pm... then we went to Zhongshan... in fact there's no point for us to go to Zhongshan... as we should be in Macau the day after... but why? 'coz my uncle's going to give us a ride to Macau n he had bought a 'villa' (as called by himself) in Zhongshan... :P dinner with relatives (we drove from Zhuhai to Zhongshan together! :P) n dunno why finally still a quite late sleep...

fourth day of the holiday: early departure again!!! set off at 8:30am... n arrived Macau at 10:00am... had breakfast nearby... then WAITED!!! at home... wait for what? my youngest uncle n his family.... anyway... we went to the graveyard... n various temples... n carried out all the customs... n... we MISSED LUNCH TIME!!! so after all the stuff... we went for the egg tarts and cakes and lemonades and yoghurt!!! a "NOT GOOD" dinner.... don't follow those guides... we booked our 'usual' restaurant not early enough... n thus cannot make a table early.... n then we tried to find another restaurant nearby by looking at those guidebooks... n then find a really.... not-good-at-all one... so we decided not going back anymore... went to the pier quite early... at around half eight... but waited inside the pier for hours!! 'coz our tickets were at 1:30am...

fifth day of the holiday: day set off for SH.... long time haven't been to SH... but unfortunately my schedule's too tight that i didn't have much time spend on leisure! had a hair shampoo in the salon... then had lunch with mum n steve... then rushed to the airport! flied to SH n really poorly my boss got his ankle hurt n was in a wheelchair... n thus... as the other guy was holding all the luggages... i was the one taking after the wheelchair!!!

SH trip's quite funny... though busy.... will post in another post!
