Why I’m Still in Shanghai

January 10th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Food, Singapore, Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general)

Premature Housewifeism

Disclaimer: The title is not meant to have any sexist connotation
My favourite pastime to get by classes is doodle, drawing whatever my hand decides to. I doodle on the desks, on my books, or her books. While the professor drones on about nothing worth my attention, I would be drawing flowers, stars, shapes. Or weird-looking [...]
