Yunnan food can never be better at Lost Heaven.

Although I thought I was back home eating home-cooking?!?

Hmmmm...

Gimme Sum Luv!

Thanks to my friends from Manila and Shanghai, the most unexpected party of my life became unexpectedly FUN and FAB!

Our daily bread

Wagas sandwiches, pasta, smoothies. . . Thank God! This is the real fresh element!

A day in the life of a Sarong Party Girl

When the going gets rough, the people goes wild!

Charlie's Angels - The reunion

When the circus came to town, it wasn't just painted red...

For the less travelled and tropically not inclined..

Boracay Island.

Located in the Visayan Islands of Philippine Archipelago, it is the closest, most beautiful, powder like white sands to China that can definitely rival the best beaches from Bali to Hawaii.

For the few who can afford, the Mandala Spa.







And when the sun starts going down..

Alcoholics and the like are surely welcome.

You give me F1 fever

To all those who are fans, excited, been there, wishing to having been there and to the massively ignorant, we would like to introduce

The Shanghai International Circuit-Home of Formula 1 China




The Formula 1 race track has an overall length of 5.451,24 m and includes 7 left and 7 right turns.







Ok, feet on the ground, better yet lower your expectations.

Popcorns, hotdogs and decent beer are scarce.

It's still China-be happy with your noodle soup and bottled tea.

See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil

As gracious hosts to our dear, dear friends, what is done in Shanghai, stays in Shanghai.

2006








2005












Watch out for more..

Tennis Master's Cup

Last year was the opening of the new Shanghai Qi Zhong Stadium and what better way to announce it's opening than hosting the first Master's Cup in China.

Typical Chinese architecture - this is another situation where there is so much money involved but very little taste required.

As my company being the major sponsor, I had VIP seating while Federrer hits his balls away.



Would you even be surprised if he was voted "Best Male Tennis Player 2006"?



Nadal hurt his ankle during practice and didn't play, Roddick quit before he can actually step into the court.

Chicken.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Three years ago, there were three naive characters, Simone, Kenneth and Me.



Three years after they are still as naive.

Can you spot the difference?!?

Thank God for Clarins and Dior 60/80!

My Best Friend's Wedding

Finally, the knot is tied.

It was a first. No! not me, silly! Its actually Kennes and Mike's day.

Well it is my first wedding banquet. Didn't reallize they do so much before you actually have dinner. And yes, dinner is the ending.

Well pretty much, the highlight of the event apart from the guests who came from as far as the US and the beautiful gowns ( god ( she's small ) and the world's smallest diamond studded "handcuffs" shall be the groom announcing his engagement to any stranger wearing only a pair of red undies! The groom paying the wife's entourage to realease her from a locked room (shit, i missed that though!)

...and of course the endless Mahjong games..

I guess that says it all , in China and Hongkong SAR, getting married is a gamble, so is life isn't it?

Gazing at the new Ghetto

It's as if Shanghai doesn't have enough places to catch the tiny pink citizen's population, the "origin of the origin" reopens as the old name disappears into Pink Home's neon lights. For the first half hour, get lost and be amused with the decor but be sure at the end of it you have had enough to drink because believe me, you'll need it!

Special thanks to Simone for the tasteful music, although a little bit of Moony would sure perk things up...

Fancy lights, fabulous music. The peeps? Don't ask, we still want to keep our social lives intact.







Most definitely, the few people that makes visiting more fun.

To Levitate or not to Levitate

So, this is the sino-german technology. . .not bad, not bad at all.


Barely made it on time. Soon as my ass warmed the seat, the tube started to gain speed. . .we were running at a speed of 440 km per hour hence getting there was a mere 8 minutes.

Awesome.
