Fostering friendships in China

Having stayed in Shanghai for 3 months, I have fostered good friendships with my roommates, friends and colleagues. I always felt very good whenever I see any Singaporeans on the street. It somehow brings us closer because we are Singaporeans.

I have good room-mates staying with me... include Weifa, Jiayan, Joey and I-Shan. In particular, Weifa for looking after us like a caring father while Jiayan for bringing joys and happiness to the house. I really missed those day staying in Shanghai with them... Filling water, cooking food, clubbing, "sleeping", singing, eating, massaging, running, planning (especially jia yan), arcading, eating dumplings (小笼包,种子), "bitching", acting quiet, exploring, ironing, washing clothes... Haha, these bring back good memories.

I also felt very excited when someone visits us from Singapore, or Singaporeans working in Shanghai. These people include Gilbert, Lin xu, My mother and aunties, Uncle Robert and wife, Jiayan's mother, Jiayan's uncle, Jiayan's sister and friends, Kenneth, Marcus, Bing Kai, Li Na, Phuong, Evangeline, Ester.. And also those already in Shanghai, including Hanwen, Vivenne, Nicole, Robin, Justin, Lawrence... How I wish more friends can join me in Shanghai as well....
