Damn, i was looking through universities and some stuff just now. I suddenly realised i have been slacking too much. Too much dvds, games and day dreaming. I need to pull up my socks and STUDY HARD. At this rate im going, ill never make it to university. I dont want to be a bum doing shit all my life. I want to work in an air-conditioned office with my private room(executives of a multi-national company i meant), drive posh cars to work and stay in a private house. I need to practice more maths, read more history books and read more business sections of the newspaper. Im gonna get my lazy history teacher to start teaching A2 work, get maths revison guides and start attending lessons. I really have to stop taking 'self-declared' holidays. LOL. i know you're laughing darling. :D Im gonna do every fucking piece of homework im given and revise on weekday nights. :) HOMEWORK here i come. zz.

PS. I love you darling for who you are. :)

Business retakes are over. I don't know if i do well. I don't really expect high grades because every time i feel confident over a paper ill not do well in it. Weather in shanghai is getting colder each day. I need to wear 2 jackets whenever i ride my scooter around.

I went to a big arcade that i mentioned last week and I played the Formula 1 machine that cost30RMB (S$6) for 5 minutes. Its really a huge machine that i don't see in Singapore.

Here it is.




Well, darling was taking pictures of me on the TV outside. It showed the players who were first and second. :D i was on screen and that meant i was top 2.
I got first after all. Went to Raffles Square after that. Raffles Square is a mall built by Capital Land which is a Singapore based company. Raffles Square is like one of the most centralised and most popular place among the youngsters in Shanghai like Cineleisure. Although there aint much shops that sell the type of clothes i like in the mall but i still frequent there because its supposed to be the 'coolest' place in Shanghai. Its Singapore Festival here in Shanghai. Goh Chock Tong is here in Shanghai according to my dad because he was invited to attend a dinner+speech in Shangri La hotel but my dad didn't turn up because of some 'reasons' :) Back to Raffles Square, there was a singing competition going on there. The competitors are supposed to mimic Singapore singers like Sun Yanzi, Lin Junjie and Ah do. Some did well but some sucked. We watched for an hour then went off for dinner.
I was having problems with my bike earlier on. I cant start the engine going after leaving it for a few hours. Ill need abt 20 minutes before i can get it started so i brought it to the bike shop to get it fixed. Its fixed now and for some reason that no one knows why. My bike is fucking fast now on the acceleration and it can go up to 90km/hr. Its a 150CC and the bike shop guy said its like a 200CC bike. Maybe the guy who sold it to me modified the bike. Well, the bike shop guy has a 150CC bike with receipts so it wouldn't get confiscated by the police when i get pulled over. I dont know whether to sell my current bike as I really like it a lot. Aww. Im doing a business btw and according to research, Im the monopoly 'company' which means Im the only one in shanghai doing this business. Ive got a few potential customers and i already sold one bike. I think ill earn enough to spend in Singapore and rent a house for me and darling. A decent one i suppose.
Btw, I drove to Fudan University today with darling. Its one of the best University in Shanghai, like the Cambridge in UK. It was a decent ride there that took about 40 minutes because i drove about 50km/hr throughout. However, on the way back, it was FUCKING cold and we drove the wrong direction. Took us 1 and a half hour to get back to darling's place. It was nice too. We enjoyed the company of each other although it was sooooo COLD.
Arg. Another 7 weeks till the next holiday! I think im gonna die.School sucks so bad.

Ahh. Business studies retake next week. I was home studying the whole day(when i said whole day, it meant i studied for 2 hours, slept 4 hours, watched dvd 2 hours and day dreaming for an hour.)


went out with darling yesterday as usual. met up in the morning and went to the arcade in people's square. the arcade is really huge. they are so many games. There was like a Formula 1 game and it costs 30RMB (S$6). Its crazy isn't it. Its 5 minutes and have a really huge screen. It looks kinda like the theatre ones. Theres a camera on the steering wheel and you could see your friend's face from a TV outside the arena. We spent 40RMB and we left for Anderson's Ice cream. Its buy 1 free 1 now so we eat it every weekend. After the ice cream, we wanted to put 1500rmb into the bank as I just 'earned' it on Friday by selling a motorbike. We found an ATM machine but couldn't figure out how to put money into my bank account. So we sat outside the bank and took some pictures with my new samsung phone while I smoked a cigarette. We continued to walk around to make ourself feel hungry because we were going for Japanese Buffet for dinner and it wouldnt be worth it if we didn't feel hungry enough.
So we walked around till it was time for dinner and when we went to the restaurant, the manager told us, we could only eat till 8PM as there is reservation for that seat. He said he might move us to another table if there is a table available. I was kinda pissed off as the waitresses kept saying , our table is till 8PM. It sounded like we didn't have money to pay or we were eating some discounted buffet that lasted till 8PM. When we sat down, the waitresses passed me and menu and continued telling other waitresses we could eat till 8PM. I was really pissed off and said ' just go away lar'. There was this Hongkong guy and a Shanghainese lady beside me. I heard them saying ' Go' and they said Chinese's English is like that. I was really getting on my nerves by that time. I didn't want to quarrel with them as it was kinda embarrasing creating a scene in a restaurant so I just kept quiet. A few minutes later, my dad text me and told me they were having Japanese Buffet as well and I read the message out to my girlfriend in English. Then I saw the Hong Kong guy whispering to the lady. I bet they're talking about me. They are probably saying 'Why is this Chinese speaking English?' Aww. I was so pissed off that I didn't have appeittie for dinner anymore.
Well, we moved to another table after a while and my hunger was coming back to me. I ate till my stomach was gonna explode to make the money worth. I drank a bit of Sakae but darling didn't allow me to drink more as I had to ride my bike home later.
Im gonna go watch a dvd called "Everybody hates Chris" that i bought on Friday. Its really funny. Its about a black guy called Chris and hes the eldest brother in family and the only black guy in a white school. It talks about his family and school. Its soooooo funny.
Oh btw, Im glad I found so many primary school friends that Ive lost contact with 7 years ago. Its kinda a miracle to have found them. Lmao. Alright bye!

A terrible incident happened to me today right in my compound between me and two french bitches. I bought another bike which was meant to be sold. I was riding into my compound through the security from the main road when I saw 2 bitches walking towards the direction of my compound with 4 kids. They were chatting away and ignoring their kids who were like 7-8 years old. They were standing right in the middle of the road between the lane out of my compound and the lane into my compound. I rode the opposite direction to prevent collision with them and one of their kids were running about. I was like more than 10 meters away from them and I wouldn't have the kid as I was riding at 10km/hr which is like walking speed. I supposed the kid turned around and saw my bike driving towards them. He ran to his mum while i carried on riding back home. When i was like 30 metres away from them, I heard someone shouting at me. I turned around and saw one the bitches shouting at me. I ignored them and continued riding. I wanted to change to my own bike as I was gonna go find some spray and it would save me more time to ride my own bike which was faster.

I was riding out of the compound when I was stopped by one of the bitches. I stopped right in front of my them and this bitch came towards me and asked if i could speak English. The moment i said yes, she was like yelling at me at the top of her lungs. Ok, i might be exaggerating a bit but she was yelling at me. I sat on and my bike to apologise to her for driving a bit too fast as the maximum speed in my estate is 5KM/HR! Oh well, she continued yelling at me for 30 seconds and I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped the engine of my bike, got down and starting yelling at her. The manager of the management came over but couldn't do anything to stop us from quarrelling so she just stood at the side looking at 2 bitches yelling at me. One in English and the other in French, i supposed the other one doesn't know how to speak English.

We argued for 10 minutes. Some drivers and lots of french kids(about 15) came over to see whats the comotion was all about. She walked away and said she would talk to the GM about this matter. I was really angry after the arguement. I would have punched them if they weren't ladies. I vented my anger on the Chinese Manager for 20minutes till the GM who is a fucking french too came. I vented more anger on the GM because I felt he was trying to side the two bitches. I decided not to give the GM a hard time after he made some senses into me. Well, the commotion ended when the bitches apologised for screaming at me and i apologised to the Mangement for driving beyond the limits.

I told my parents about it, they were like laughing and at the same time asking me to be careful the next time. I noticed a rise in the amount of French in my compound. Looks like the French's population in Windsor is the largest so the French is treating me like dirt. I bet she must have thought me as an Asian wouldn't dare to scream back right in her face. I dont understand why a Caucasian would get more benefits than an Asian no matter where they go in Asia. I dont see Asians getting better treatment in Europe or US. Aww, this is bullshit isn't it.

:) new cover. I bought it from a friend, its second hand but its really new though. Changed some shit in my bike and its faster and much smoother now. Its China's National Day and we get a week off school. Darling came to my house yesterday and we played badminton in my estate. Played for about an hour and my arm hurts. Lack of exercise. The last time i exercised was when Reeve came and we rode bicycles to my girlfriend's house which is like 20kilometers. Had Japanese cuisine today as darling wanted to eat after shopping a day with her friend. Motorbikes are sooo convenient. I get to meet darling anytime without worrying about money to take taxis around. I love darling and i love my bike too!
