Wu Jiao Market Shanghai

Went to Wu Jiao market last night. Looks like my luck was not bad, I managed to grab this sunglass at very good price, RMB 70. It's from Paris Miki. They set up a temporary stores outside the shopping malls. The sunglasses in Malaysia Paris Miki are always very expensive, around RMB 400 - RMB60. Looks like I was quite lucky. Another interesting site was the fly over bridge in Wu Jiao Market. The design is based on UFO shape. At night, the beautiful dancing light bulb luminate the entire bridge.

Life in Shanghai

I will collect more old Shanghai photos in the future. This is one of the view I took from my apartment. When I first came here, there are a lot of old Shanghai community like this. But within few months, these kind of houses were destroyed due to development. The old Shanghai living style was henced slowly vanishing and replaced by the force of steel buildings. Lots of old Shanghai folks were against the development but they couldn't do much except frustrated with the change. Sometimes I feel very sad to see those historical views and lifestyle were slowly vanishing from every corner. I feel lucky that before this change finally complete its cruel mission, I still have the chance to capture as many "historical" moments as I can.

Brief introduction

Hi, there. Welcome to my blog. I am crazy about lots of handmade items, most of all, patchwork, clayworks and icing decoration.


Few years ago, I was a highly motivated System Engineer working in a big consulting firm situation in the KL Twin Towers. Never in my life would I even have the slightest thought of staying in China, until my husband got a job then(Yeah, a lot of thing was unexpected, what shattered me the most was the place we first came was a small village in the inland of China), so here i am now. Suddenly my life changed from an IT professional to a housewife, well, over here they called it 'expat wife'. Life was not that easy for me that time. I started to look for meaningful ways to pass boring life (most people think that expat wife lives a good life, but i don't think that's true). I tried many things, icing decoration, baking, knitting even clay works, everything self-learning. Though I was 'fully-equiped' with those skills, I still find emptiness within myself.


Praying hard for GOD's guidance, after shifting a few places, we finally settled down in Shanghai. This move meant a lot to me, first I got to get out of rural area and living a better lifestyle, of course ! Second, it's where I first stumbled into patchwork. I don't quite remember how I managed to find my patchwork school at all and frankly, I had never even thought of patchwork in my life. I believe the Almighty actually answered my prayer. Thank GOD!





This blog is going to be the best place to record my daily life from now on ^^.
