Second Thoughts

Day 2 in Shanghai and I say, i am tired. So I decided that I'm going to "emo" and keep myself preoccupied in the Singapore pavilion today.

Little did I know today was a blast. Okay not that awesome yet, I mean it's only day 2, but it was pretty cool.

The first 2 groups were on shift at the Singapore pavilion today, and we honestly felt really proud of our pavilion.  Find out about our pavilion here. To be honest, the write ups, photos and including this blog-post will be a huge understatement to the pavilion. You have to see it to believe it, or rather be here to truly accredit its worthiness.
These flowers are found on the roof garden, the leopard skin hybrid orchid(left), and the Scarlett Star (right). 

The fauna I saw there impressed me. I know, there are flowers and trees, green everywhere at home, but really these flowers are amazing. (Credits to the Canon that I'm using, the photos I took actually looks decent. Haha.)

I am truly amazed at our country, and I strengthen my sentiment on appreciating Singapore more. I guess these things are just one of those reminders that make you realise the things you take for granted and appreciate them. You should read the other blogs to find out about the Singapore pavilion, there is just so much to talk about that is good!

                                
For once in his life, Nabil is sooo cute, all the girls go "awwwwww" and everyone can't resist laughing at his gestures and snapping on the cam furiously. Hahaha I'm kidding. Here, Nabil is the "Little Durian Boy" (direct translated) the mascot for our nation's pavilion.

After a long day. We had some time at Nanjing road. We had a great time there, although I must say I am a little disappointed that I didn't get to buy much stuff. Nevertheless, I was really satisfied. I shan't say more, I shall let the pictures (guided by captions) do the talking.


                   
Priority 2 in Shanghai. EAT XIAO LONG BAO (XLB). We were spamming XLB at some "restaurant" at Nanjing Road. AWESOMEXZXZXZ. (So aweome my outlandish expressions are released, seriously.)

I had Fauna, Fun, Food and to finish off today, I had a dash of FUNNY too.


            
Looking for a great shopping experience? Come to our local adaptations of Singapore Brands! Clio coddle (in contrast to Crocodile) and Plaza 353 (in contrast to Somerset 313). Click on the links to compare :)

Ahhh, the genius of brand associations, or not.

All right, that's all from me today, folks. Read the posts of my fellow student committees to find out more of the amazing stuff we're experiencing. Till tomorrow.
