the boy surprised the girl with a glass full of daisies on monday night... turning her monday gloom to monday bloom. the boy recounted his highly amusing ordeal in his attempt to find those flowers. The girl was touched and brought those blooms to her desk the next morning. She sniffed at those petals and she smiled. Lessons came and lessons went. She sat at her desk at the end of the day, bent forward and sniffed at them again. She smiled. Her heart was glad. 
They brought her beautiful memories. past. present. future. She made a promise to herself that she will always make time for all things beautiful.
takeoff! adorable little tot on the plane who amused us throughout the flight. we took the maglev from the airport to the city. went up to 420km/h. the houses blitz past us. it was incredible.
The beautiful hotel. I love the traditional big christmas tree. 
After a fitting with the seamstress, we went in search for the famous 'xiao yang shen jian'- a bigger bun version of the xiao long bao along Wujiang Rd. It was gastronomically delicious. We thought it was small so the boy ordered 20 of them. 1rmb each. abt 20 cents sgd. we got a shock when we saw them. they were huge and i think the patrons around us were just as amused. In addition, we had a bowl of beef glass noodles. yummy yum yum. Especially good in the wintry conditions. The queue is long but absolutely worth the wait. 
A nice long walk along the bund. Stunning at night with the lights beaming from Pearl tower and Jinmao. We got one of the best views from the 18 on the Bund. We explored the buildings and bars along the bund. The staff are friendly and they welcome visitors to explore the places and admire the panoramic views of the bund from their balconies. 
Hot chocolate and sparkling wine at New Heights along the bund. They boast a magnificent view of the bund too. love the hanging light bulbs from the ceiling. creates such a beautiful glow.
