Was in Shanghai from 29th July till 2nd July for business.....let me recap what had happened..

Day 1- 29th July

Boarded MH 388 flight to Shanghai....actually wanted to change to SQ caused I find the cabin crew better in service and of course more good looking... But decided to try out MH after such a long time..And guess what ....MH had not changed....for the better....the crew looks like they are overworked and not really friendly...of course the SQ's one sometime over did it with the smiles and it looked fake. The flight was ok i guess caused we had the Boeing 777....so we had good entertainment on the individual screen.... But 2 incidents really kinda pissed me a bit....
1) There was this kakak crew who had this walk as though he is a model ala datin....u know the one that put one leg upfront first before the second leg come forward!!....I was hungry at one point so when to back to get some peanuts ....ask this kakak can i have one...kakak said no!...but then gave me the sheepishly smile and said joking only la...don't angry hoh!....Aiyoh...whylah our MH crew like that one...

2) Another crew story...this time a China girl. MAS hires local China girl to assist the flight..she was really loud and rude!!...she was your typical China girl....fat a bit where the kebaya gonna burst out soon...as we were landing she was sitting in front of me....can you imagine she was yacking with one crew member sitting opposite the other lane....she was bitching and the worse she swore a couple of times in Mandarin ...she thought that I did not understand!!! Aiyo yo.... whylah MAS....

Landed in Pudong airport ...was there in 2004 when the airport just opened....but after 3 years ...it looked a bit jaded!!... KLIA still looks good after 10 years!!! Bravo malaysia....But they have built another new spanking terminal ....

Once I stepped out of the airport.....Wah lau! It was freaking hot!!....It 39 degrees out there....my cab driver told me it was 40 degrees the day before!!

It was a 45 mins drive into the city....One familiarity striked me.....HAZE! Shanghai Pudong was enveloped under a thick haze!!!....and with the hot weather...it wasn't a pleasant sight..

Once I reached the hotel....I quickily jumped out and went straight to the lobby...Stayed in Shangri La Hotel....got a new and nice room....and that compensate the terrible condition out there....

On the first night , we ( my MD and another colleague) were to attend a cocktail party in Grand Hyatt Jin Mao Tower...which was the tallest hotel in the world before the Al Burajh in Dubai claimed the status....anyway Grand Hyatt was a walking distance from Shangri La....but because of the weather..... we decided to take a cab.....So we call lah for a cab that was waiting in front of shangri la.....we jumped in the cab....and told the cab we wanted to go Grand Hyatt......the next thing....the cab driver gave us the angry look and started sighing....complaining that he had waited for 50 mins in the que and now we are going for a short trip of 3 mins drive....we didnt want to budge cos we were already in the cab....so he had no choice.....but the ride was unpleasant as he keep on sighing and sighing....haiyah we were thinking he could waited another 60 mins and maybe no business...so what was his problem....After the cocktail party , we decided to walk....

Quickly had another shower to cool down....and stayed in the room.

Sms my "wife" and told him how freaking hot it was....and I sighed.......
