Lunch at Lou Wai Lou

We went back to West Lake area to the famous Lou Wai Lou restaurant for lunch.
The food was good, we felt the price was reasonable. We tried the famous dishes like Beggers Chicken.


Waiter cutting the Beggers' Chicken for us.

I guess this pretty much concludes Atul's short trip in Shanghai. : ) Take care bros and sis!

See what I mean about playing MP3 in small boat on romantic lake.

Atul Posing - I posed as well, but I shall not put it up. I still need to attract girls.

Contemplating life on Westlake, and playing MP3 from phone

Very very cold, and Atul's ears nearly got frozen. Just drink hot tea to keep warm baby.

Wonder who my bro is thinking of? Is it the mysterious girl he refused to tell me about?

Well, this is the contemplating part we had on West Lake. To add to the overall romantic scenary, we had hot fresh brewed Longjing tea, and played mp3 from Atul's phone..."I'm Yours" and James Blunt.

Hanzhou continues

Uncle who rowed the boat.

Female who could not resist Atul's charms

We took a row boat out to West Lake. It was such a romantic and scenic place, and on the entire lake, there was only me and atul, 2 freaking guys in a little boat. We contemplated and rued about the ups and downs in our lives...but it was one of the best moments I ever had with him..haha.

Visit to Hangzhou

We went to Hangzhou. Took a train from Shanghai South Train Station, the journey was only 1.5hrs and it was quite cheap and comfortable. Anyway, you notice a lot my photos cos these were taken from my phone. Very scenic, looks a scene from Bollywood...Atul was the exotic lady killer in Hangzhou, in fact, Shanghai. All the girls wanted to take photo with him. I should have charged them for that!

Atul and me at tennis Masters Shanghai

Dont ask me who this is, just a model for toilet fixtures...

Atul's Visit

Hi friends, finally managed to find some time to upload some photos we took when Atul is here. We went for Lan Zhou La Mian near my place in the afternoon before we made our way to the Tennis Masters to catch Roger Federer vs Andy Murray. It was pretty fun as this was my first time watching a tennis match, but the stadium was so so far away. It took us 1.5 hrs to get there, and almost 2.5 hours to get back....but we had a lot of fun, shouting and cheering!

Great day @ Barclay Open

Hi brudders,

I am just happy to be able to share with you all what I have gone through yesterday night, an experience of a lifetime!

It was a great night, I was on my brother's car where we were heading home after hanging around in town. So, after refueling @ Shell Tampines Ave 4, we took the usual Tampines Ave 10 and then TPE so we can exit Elias Road for home.

While on lane 3 between Tampines Ave 10 & Elias Road exit, we felt a thud from the back, and before we knew it our car was spinning anti-clockwise out of control. The front slammed onto the metal guard railing, car sprung and continued turning. It came to a stop between Lane 2 & 3 of TPE.

The first instinct was to see if we were wounded. What can I say, we were so lucky to be only suffering from bruises, other than slight nausea from the spin! Quickly we got down, and realized our car was in a total wreckage at the engine & car boot. My god, how did we survive the impact?

So, here came this young chap checking us if we were ok. Only then did we know he was the driver that filtered from Lane 1 to Lane 3, and in the process bumped into our rear right. We were relieved no one was seriously injured during the car accident, except causing a huge jam as our car were stuck on the TPE. Shortly, the officers came by to assist. The episode came to a temporary end after the tow truck took our car away around 1am.

Through this close encounter, I really appreciate the gift of life and no matter how well managed it appears to be, there could be times where things are just not within our control. So, live happily and fully while it last...

Surprise

Hi guys,
I was supposed to be at work by 9AM today, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a fellow colleague in HR. Completely forgot, because I have not been able to sync my Lotus Notes calendar with my Nokia phone the past week. So I got 2 calls from my colleagues and walked in late at 9:30AM to a room full of HR people who went "Surprise"!

Apparently, the surprise was on all the Oct babies (ME) as well and I had held up the "celebrations. So here is the picture of us happy Oct babies from the HR Team. 3 of them share the same birthday. I think us Libra, well-known diplomats make good HR people, hahaha....

Adding some more highlights

Hi people, i am haphazardly using blog, not very familiar with it yet. Anyway, here are some more photos. Life here is pretty good so far, weather is cool, i think i can wear the same shirt for 3 days....but dont tell anyone ok?

Today i started tinkering around the house - i started the washing machine without putting any clothes in, cos i did not know how to stop it when i accidently pressed start. Wireless is up, no issues. At night, i walked around and explore the place. Nice place, though usually there is haze throughout the day. Amazingly, i have not sneezed yet. Ok friends, keep in touch!

Atul - I will check if i can get your wimbledon tickets here, but dont be lazy la, buy online! Dont think will have much difference lor....
