1 Week at the “Whore of the Orient”

In less than 48 hours, I will be embarking another holiday trip. This time, we are heading to Shanghai. Yes, it will be another big entourage – 9 of us. Indeed, it is a strange mix – 5 Wahbiangians (Kalinda, Tracy, Meijie, Felicia and me), 1 Ex-VOX (Hovman) and 3 family members (my mum, aunt and cousin). Just realised that the Wahbiangians who are coming for this Shanghai trip, coincidently didn’t attend our last Malacca trip. (Mm…are they hinting something…maybe Kalinda and Tracy prefer "flying trip").
 
For Kalinda, it is her 3rd country in less than 30 days. She was in Malaysia (KL) early Feb, Thailand (Phuket) mid Feb and now China (Shanghai) early March. For Tracy, it would be her 3rd out of 4th leg trip in 6 months. She just came back from India (Oct), Taiwan (Feb) and next USA (May).
 
For Meijie and Hovman, both of these high fliers will be doing their own street-casting for Shanghai Next Top Girlfriends. They should check out the expo hall where Francis met Echo. Maybe the chances of finding a good GF there are higher. For Felicia, she is not excited about this China trip. She is looking forward to wear all her nice winter clothing. For mum and aunt, I wonder what they are doing. For me, I will be everyone’s tour guide again – afterall, it is my 3rd trip to the Whore of the Orient (my 7th trip to China).
 
Nevertheless, we have a bigger mission to fulfil. We will be performing on stage at a grand dinner. We are going to show the Shanghai people how powerful and draggy our "Yam Seng" is…. lending our support for Echo and Francis.
 
Now, I am trying to suppress my "aerophobia"… I really hate flying… urgh…it just kill all those pre-holiday excitement for me. Can’t sleep thru the midnight flight too – scared I be banned from SQ (cos of my loud snore). Mm…must think of things to do onboard…(maybe make my gang play in-flight mahjong with me).
 
Me stress liao….can’t get those manifestation off my head. Sigh…will miss my little Elkan. 😦
 
p/s (Will post daily pixs from Shanghai from 3rd March – 7th March. Yixi, Gareth or Jimmy, hard luck, it is early spring at China – so no bikini shots of your fav Kalinda.)
