Mom@Zapata’s & Red Beat

My mom decided to join my housemate, Meg, and I for a night out.

We went to Not Me and it was really empty. Therefore, we went to the nearest bar, Zapata’s. And Red Beat, later.

That’s my housemate, Meg, from Beijing.

We met Meg’s friends, Kim and her husband. They are both Australians and guess what? They had their wedding at Langkawi Island two years ago. Yeah, wedding ceremony all the way from Australia O.o

Anyhow, my mom did not go clubbing that night lol!

Don’t think she could take it.

Mom@Palace

Palace is the name of the place that I stayed for the first two months in Shanghai. Not the real palace ‘palace’. I remember I Plurk-ed or updated my status in Facebook that I am so gonna miss my mom’s home cook.

In that week, I was fed really well. Four meals per day! She used the kitchen like everyday! I am pretty sure my housemates, Meg and Dan, miss her cooking as well.

Imagine to see those (above) first thing in the morning. How wonderful it would be to have breakfast prepared for you every morning.

To be honest, I was really happy and delighted! It felt so homely! Urghh… I really miss my mom’s cooking now! Had a chat with her over MSN and she told me that she may come over to Shanghai again to cook for me. Only when there’s cheaper flight tickets.

AirAsia, I put my trust in you on this matter!

Mom@Zhabei Park

Being informed by my friend that there is a nice park around, we explored the park after breakfast. On the way, she spotted something that my baby brother would love one thing about Shanghai..

..people wearing pajama on the streets.

What Chinese love to do in the parks is to blast the music and dance.

Zhabei Park is not very impressive but impressive enough for the people living around here.

That afternoon, I brought my mom to Qi Pu (Cheap) Road. There you can get cheap clothing, shoes, everything! But don’t expect too much in regards to the quality of your purchase.

She had always wanted to try the food sold on the streets but was concerned on food hygiene. Eventually, she just could not resist it and there, we had grilled chicken liver. It was really good.

The damage of the day – two pairs of boots and around ten pairs of tights.

That night, I organised a gathering – to mark the second last day of break. My mom was supposed to come along but she was just too tired to do anything other than staying in bed, watching series.

The turn up was not that bad and it was not that good either. Just nice. Will do more.

Oh, I had another dart game and I was in the second place as shown in the picture above.
