Where is the someone I can say anything to in the world without being judged.
Ah haha.
I don't think that person exists.

Been out the whole day, as sharon suggests, doing taitai stuff. Shopping. Eating. Spending time with mum, cousin (and cousin in law - they are one. So now, by default, when I say cousin, it includes cousin in law unless specified) and later Dad and bro.
Food and shopping with Dad is ALWAYS good. I'll skip shopping and go straight to food. We had authentic Shanghai-ese food for dinner at this place called "Yanjing Shanghai Kitchen". If you the name of the place rings a bell, its cause the place is owned by husband and wife team of Wang Yanqing and Wang Li. (heard they sold the place. Not too sure if it still is)
I was impressed by the food (the 生煎包 and 五花肉 is a must try) but I found the waitress/lady boss a little too helpful. ah haha. Service could have been better. They missed out 2 of our dishes...mmm. And the place was way too stuffy lah, they need to do something about the aircon.
My dad prefers this place to Grand shanghai Grand Copthorne Waterfront. I prefer the latter.
Cause my dad is quite the foodie and I kept taking pictures, the waitress had the impression we're in the 美食业 . Erm no.
Check out the crispy bottom of the 生煎包. I was leaving the best for the last XD
Dessert consists of cream with mango wrapped in mochi skin.

Then later in the night. I followed my dad around to do the rounds.
Alot of socializing with COLORFUL characters involved in doing the rounds. Ah haha. I'm proud to say I played my part.
It's not difficult to do, but difficult to do it unpretentiously. *waves to mao*
Oh. And I met this senior monk. They were resting after doing their chants. Dad was talking to him and I was watching from the side.
I noticed something about the demeanor of this monk. So I asked my Dad: Is this man rich?
Hmm. haha. I could figure this much. Mr Monk had enough disposable income to invest 2mil in mini bonds. And there was also something about the monk's private banker and striking some deal cause he was the privilege customer with the bank?
I learnt alot.
I almost did not get out of the car cause of my headache. Glad I did.

Drinks tonight~~~~ :D
