26th Day in Ningbo, China

Sorry for the humongous lack of updates. I've been really busy for these past 2 weeks, as i've been running round a lot and sleeping pretty early, without having a chance to update this here journal, so yeah i'll try my best to update as much as possible. Will be heading back to Singapore in 3 days time! Here goes, my 26th day in Ningbo.

Date : 271106
Time : 1030AM

Breakfast and stuff, today me and my mom were gonna go round Ningbo to run some errands. First stop, furniture mall.

Time : 12PM

My mom and the maid had changed the sofa covers in the living room only to find out that one part of it didn't have the proper holes to slot it nicely over the sofa. Thus, we went to the furniture shop from which my mom ordered the sofa/covers to ask them to make the holes and do it properly this time. Reached the place at around 12 30PM. It was a huge place, everywhere u look there were sofas, tables and the like. Tons of furniture shops and lots of modern designed furniture. It was kinda like a maze but my mom roughly knew how to get to the shop and there we went. Mom told the staff what she wanted and after that we walked around a bit and took some pics before heading back to the car.

Time : 1:00PM

Left the furniture mall to a 2 storey shopping center next to Carrefour. Had to go back to the furniture mall to get to amended sofa covers in 1-2 hours so my mom decided to show me around this shopping center. On entering the building, i could see one whole long row of shops, it seemed the length of 2 football fields. SAme applied when i looked to the left and right from where i was standing. Man it was humongouso-balbosaur haha. Mom stopped occasionally at some shops to look for stuff. The variety of shops were abundant, 1st few lanes were women's clothing, followed by shoes, apparel, and the such. Walked around the whole place for 30-45 mins and then proceeded back to the furniture mall. Here's a pic at one of the side entrances of the shopping center.



Time : 3:45PM
After getting the sofa covers, we went to a pet shop near the Korean restaurant which we went to last Saturday, as they had called my mom saying that there was a miniature dog available. My mom was interested to take a look at it so we went to pick up one of the staff at the shop. She guided the driver to another pet shop about 15 mins away. On reaching, i spotted a huge Samoite(sp?) Husky dog roaming about just in front of the pet shop. Mom went in to see the mini dog while i waited at the car. Did video for a while, taking shots of the husky and the numerous other dogs in the shop. Man it was so cold that day, i was freezing, i think it went into 5-8 degrees range. EEK! Well, following that, the kids were already home. My mom was having a meeting with some members of the Singapore Kakis Club (local club for Singapore expats) at Z Place in the evening. We decided to go pick up the kids and proceed to Z place and we were pretty hungry too.

Time : 5++PM

Reached Z place and got us some light food while waiting for my stepdad to arrive to eat dinner. Kids did their homework there too. Mom proceeded to have a meeting with the Singapore Kakis Club members.

Time : 6++PM

Stepdad arrived and we ate our dinner. Following that, nothing much happened, just went home, played around with the kids, etc the usual, got on the net, and slept.

Time : 11PM++

Slept?
