new friends = new joys

"Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them."
- Francesco Guicciardini

thankful for the spontaneity these fun-loving people have! otherwise i would have been a lonely girl wandering the SH museum on my own...

besides the main plan of visiting the museum, 24th February was also Carina's birthday; and it was really sweet of the guys to initiate buying the cake- they bought chocolate sliced cakes from 85degrees, really really good! MUST TRY! :D
the happily surprised birthday girl: Carina!

class monitor: Chun Xu!

mr-act-cool: Michael!

foodie lover: Jun Bao!

it was such crazy fun singing birthday song at 人民广场 小杨生煎!

some other MUST TRY: Lilian's Egg Tart (4rmb/tart), apparently the cheese tart is also good but have yet to try it

to prove that we did not just eat and camwhore (Michael loves photography so he brought his huge dslr cam, and my camwhore craziness was revealed to his horror! hahaha) some of the pretty stuff at the SH Museum - its free entry by the way!
love the colors of the fabric!
thousand buddhas carved from a stone piece

mini-buddha chess set!

Wu-ma, your favourite duck! hahah

HORSES <3 this rouge vase is just exquisite...
there are different categories of exhibits at the museum -ranging from the miniorities cultures to paintings to sculptures... its' a place to while your time away and just soak in the chinese history and culture

hopefully Michael will upload our many many camwhoring shots onto FB, we chanced upon this uber cool pedestrian underpass and started to 'model' hahaha

secret underground mall hidden under 人民公园: 1930s 风情街! its near exit 2 :)
