New Day in Shanghai

This is my second trip to Shanghai.

The weather has cooled down a bit and not as hot and humid. All because there were heavy downpours for the last few days. According to the locals, it will be autumn soon. I can't wait for the temperature to go down a bit more from 35 Celsius to 30 and below.

This morning I saw a comment to my post 'Unfriendly Malls', I am not able to view it right now since I am in Shanghai. Anyway thanks for the comment and you are welcome to post your comment and I will read it once I got the chance.

Yesterday there was a farewell dinner for one of my colleagues. He has left for KL for good this morning. You can view the pics of the dishes that we ordered and group photos. The link is here. No prize for guessing me in the photos.

Unfriendly Malls


Yesterday my mom and I were at Ikano Power, the Curve, and Cineplex. To our dismay, the access path to the Cineplex from the Curve is badly designed.

There is no ramp for the sky bridge on the first floor connecting the Curve and Cineplex.

The ramp on the ground floor where the exit is blocked by the booths and whatever passage left is so narrow, it is difficult to maneuver the wheel chair.

The access area at the Curve was heavily blocked with tables and chairs and diners. The restaurant should not place the chair and tables until it is so narrow for the wheel chair to pass through.

Just look at the photos. I conclude that the malls are not so user friendly to the handicap.

I am back!

KLIA is probably the best airport since it is the airport that I came home to after a trip. It is always good to come home to familiar ground when you are away in foreign land. I just want to say "I am glad to be back".

Time is Up!

So this is it.

The time is near.

The plane will take off at 0140 hours from KLIA heading north. It will bring me back to where I came from exactly a month ago.

This is the land of hope for her people. This is the place where super power will emerge. To me, I am only a passenger, watching my life path intertwined with those. Maybe it's fate that we met, maybe it's fate that brought us apart.

Hopefully this will be the final trip on work. As they said, it is hard to mix pressure with pleasure. The work comes first and it is hard to relax.

Wish me well.
