Happy Halloween

At a halloween party tonight, I not only bumped into N whom I haven't seen in a while but also spotted the cutest halloween getup ever - Alice in Wonderland. That's even better than Pippi Longstockings from the Latino halloween party last year. And in the spirit of the festivities, take some time to check out these hilarious urban camouflage outfits from Japan (subscription needed). I dig the firehydrant backpack !

Culture Shock #137

Chinese people love having their feet covered up, to the extent that regardless of their footwear, socks or stockings (ankle-length nude stockings inclusive) are a must. This is a country where exposed feet seems to be a big cultural boo-boo. On various occasions where I wore my favorite birks or high heels without stockings, I've had comments ranging from "you should wear stockings, you may catch a cold with your feet exposed." to "haha, are you a beggar? flipflops?"

  • If it works out, I might be in for an authentic filipino christmas. Fingers crossed.

  • I think I might have finally found Shanghai's best lanzhou lamian store, and ironically situated so near my workplace.

Running Without Mp3s

Ever since my oppa's death, I've taken to running without my mp3s. Perhaps, the need to hear my own thoughts (undisrupted) has never been clearer before.

  • I've finally given up on Kerouac's On the Road, and opted for Jung Chang's Wild Swans instead. Next up, two more books on North Korea ... provided T makes good his promise to mail them to me first.

  • Maybe it's my body's way of coping with deaths, I slept so much the past week. 10pm bedtimes yet I didn't end up any more energetic and no morning runs either. Just a sense of emptiness inside, but I guess I'm feeling much better now.

  • Interesting that I've been doing quite a bit of experimenting myself before I chanced upon this article. Most recently, farfalle with mushrooms, snow peas and lightly roasted salmon in chinese-style sauce. Made me fall in love with salmon all over again.
