A Place In Your Reverie. ♥

I didn't expect the gig venue to be this nice. I mean REALLY THIS NICE.
Totally rushed all the way there this afternoon, jumped into a cab and told the cab driver the address I got from my friend.

The address said "Moller Villa Hotel" and this was EXACTLY what I saw when I got down from the cab. (Pictures from google. Pardon me, I didn't take much pictures today due to the rush. Sorry guys.)









It blew me away, the sight of this magnificent building that should only exist in fairytale. I didn't even know something like this exist in Shanghai!

The omg-so-grand entrance.









The awesome night view! I'm totally spell-bounded.









And not forgotten, some interiors to show!







According to the resources, it was built in year 1936 and known as the Moller Residence in a composite style of Norwegian and Oriental architectures. :)
The best thing? It's actually just a few turns from my place! And I friggin' know nothing about it! Argh!! I'll pay a visit there soon. I hope. :D



Finally, pictures from my camera, which is pitifully little in sum.
I played for a wedding ceremony today, happy to know the other 3 musicians were my friends! You see, I don't know who's playing with me in the first place, I'm just informed the time and venue and tadaa! Practically just sight reading and spontaneous hey-nice-to-meet-you-let's-play-this-together kinda stuff.
It was freezing today. Temperature dropped to below 15 degree celsius. We had to play outdoor in our dresses and in my case, my black dress and a thin cardigan. SHITTY. X.X
Anyway it was a beautiful wedding, beautiful bride and bridegroom in white. :)
A snapshot of the arrangement of the place where the wedding was going to take place.








There were flowers everywhere. Beautiful, luscious flowers.







Finished the gig, totally frozen, but intoxicated with the beauty of the place and the bliss of the newly-weds. :)
Quite a nice day for me. What about yours? :)
