Shanghai Trip - Part 1

17 March 2012 - Saturday (Day 1)

Embarked on journey to Changi Airport Terminal 3 for my solo flight to Shanghai via Singapore Airlines.
Was held back at the check-in counter because the staff thought I was underage and also, they were unable to verify my credit card as the tickets were booked under my colleague's credit card and she was not flying off with me.
By the time I filled in the nitty gritty forms, it was about boarding time.
Two ang-mos sat together with me on my flight to Shanghai and they slept throughout the entire journey (Bravo! I wished I could too)
Watched the English shows provided on Singapore Airlines (They had quite newer ones like transformers, You're the Apple of my Eye and Twilight)
Watched Chinese Hongkong dramas from my Ipad which was downloaded by my sweetie pie, deardear before his trip to Thailand.
Tried to sleep, but failed.
Reached Shanghai Pudong Airport.
A few of them got their luggage delayed due to traffic control and I was one of them whose luggage was delayed. (Very 'Lucky' indeed)
Got bugged by a group of people who asked me to rent their cars to go to the hotel which I refused.
Queued at the taxi stand and asked cab driver to drive me to the hotel but he asked me where it was near to instead. (If I have known, I would have told him like I'm some local there)
Entire journey was considered to be un-smooth, so I tell myself if I reached the hotel and I don't see Zongfei (my china colleague), I am so gonna be dead.
Reached the hotel - LDF All Suites Hotel and finally saw Zongfei!
Checked in at the hotel and went to the room to rest awhile and unpack some daily necessities.
6pm struck and I was supposed to meet someone from Shanghai.
She came waiting for us at the hotel lobby and drove us to some mall to eat.
Had Crystal Jade for dinner.
Bid goodbye with her and Zongfei and me walked about for only a few mins and we headed back to the hotel
Went for foot reflexology at the massage center opposite our hotel.
We were wearing jeans and the therapist asked us to change into their shorts.
Upon receiving their shorts, Zongfei and me blasted into laughter because one single short could fit the two of us. (It was hilariously BIG like some XXXXXXXXXL Size).
So we rejected the idea of changing into their shorts and forcefully folded our jeans to the knee length.
Had Rose Milk therapy for the foot and it was really relaxing thereafter.
Went back to hotel and rested for the day.
