At OTTO Kohler Building

On the expat show I met a lot of intersting people and saw all kinds of expats. There are so many expat families on the 3 -day show. The ROI is definitely high. There are also a lot of “华籍美人" with 'lao wai', living an expat's life.

It was great fun to work with Mr. Yap who is a Singaporean who also is a part time ballon artist. His presence at the booth attracted a lot of attention. Kids ran over to grab those cute ballon of animal (abbit, mouse, doggie, parrot) and flower image, etc.

It was also nice to see all the rivals on the show, each going all out to raise the awareness of the brand and services. Where there is competition, there is possibility of perfection.

I also met Barry, the ABC boy I did project with in 2004 in Jiangsu before I went to Singapore. It was so cute that we looked into each other's eyes but could not tell the name. And we both said oh yes we met somewhere before. And we beat our minds hard until Barry said oh yes I got it. It is interesting that all these friends are still in Shanghai and enjoying life here. If I were the expat, I would never leave Shanghai, either. :)

We got a lot of specific enquiries, as well as feedbacks. It is a very fruitful and productive event. I really enjoyed it even my feet really hurt after standing there for the whole day. I guess I am a 'people' person and interacting with people being part of my job is really blessing.

My dear J also came to the show and brought me 3 apples and waited for me to go home together until after the event. It is so nice of him! hahah...We had a nice dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant and walked around in the Gateway Mall. And we were negotiating for 20 mins for me not to have an ice cream after dinner. It is all because I am too fat. Regionally.

Today is daddy's birthday. We bought a fruit cake from Breadtalk and came home to have lunch together. And J gave me a ride to Shanghai Exhibition Center after the nice lunch with the principle of 'sending the buddha to the sky, if you have begun this mission'. It was good. haha...

The afternoon was again busy and fruitful. I finally had my Armito icecream the Italian ice cream I did not have time to buy during the whole show. The other highlight is the cheese that I tased on the 2nd floor. Unluckily I did not have time to buy some. God God, if J is reading this it is like a betrayal case. hahah But what can I do? I always have a soft spot for chocolate, ice cream, and cheese. :P I think I will really indulge myself in a FOOD fair.   By the way the Caribbean food branded Uncle Mike's was nice as well - I like the ox tail with grain rice. It was very aromatic and your appetite was uplifted. The owner told me it is NEW WEE. lol. I was so amused as the way he said it is like the way the local village people talk.

Last but not least, the old friends who I met at the show all said I look very radiant and prettier. Haha...I think it is because I am so loved. I have been in the usual ups-and-downs moods, and I have tested J's temper almost to the limit. But he really contained the battle, miraculously. I think I really need to maintain these days of peace and harmony. :P Who knows what I will become of tomorrow... ：）
