Day 04

Wake up later today... last night sleep late... haha... but luckily still in time for free breakfast...

Saw the morning stock market... DOWN DOWN DOWN!! but later in the day... stunning rebound. market ended mixed feeling i thought... the technical rebound could be due to the AUST rate cut... who knows... see how it goes tmr...

Went out to meet Ling for lunch and take photo. had sushi for lunch... hmmm... dun taste good leh. think SG serve better jap food... haha... maybe they have localise liao. Take photo at a shop there... here they use alot of 1 inch photo alot... unless SG we use passport size photo.

After lunch walk her back to the embassy. den i set for the famous long walk... walk like nobody business... walk till lost... juz follow building landmarks and walk... but kena tua... walk to a special shape building to found out it was not ready... wat the hell... got so big billboards... den not ready in the inside... haiz... anyway by this time i am near the new world trade centre.. think it going to be ready b4 i come back to SG.

Walk to SOHO shangdu, anyway here got many SOHOs... haven figure out wat they really are... perhaps juz some commercial building with offices and shops under the SOHO group. like our capitaland, far east and CDL in SG.

Walk to The Place, an upmarket place near my suites. Forgot to intro in previous post. Here also house alot of branded boutiques. Have my tea break there. The starbucks latte small size cost me 25yuan... wow... it's not cheap. Den proceed to shop inside The Place. I drop by Califronia Fittness to see wat they got. Quite impressive inside. Most impt got SYT working out inside... think they are ah sia... no need to work can work out in the gym... membership not cheap... 8995yuan a year for instal plan or 7888 for lump sum payment. will consult my financial controller first. they are all pushy pple... hard up for sale. haha...

Bought my water at 12.6oyuan for a 4.5l bottle at watson. Beijing water according to the expats are nt portable... the locals??? it is portable... play safe... drink from the bottle.. haha... went back to suite and wait for dinner with Ling. Ling was back later today because of dance rehersal for some asean lady's meeting thingy... haiz... Lucky i am a male... if not i maybe drag into it.
