yes, i'm back from BEIJING! it was a fantastic trip! the best 6 weeks i have ever experienced since the start of my memories! (no exaggeration!)

as i look back at it, it was so dreamlike. i can clearly remember the night we were all waiting at changi airport T3 for our 1am plus flight. Dion, simone, valerie, jiayi and I waiting outside the departure gate at some playground and calling friends. then we got onto the plane and i met xin yung and shiaowei for the first time, but talked like we've known each other for a long time. xin yung sleeping like a pig on the plane, and i was rewatching The Proposal...

then we reached beijing in the morning and there was this queue to check passport just as we got out of the plane, and teachers telling us not to be 'too kind or courteous'. then we got out of the airport group by group via a lift, and we waited for the bus until it finally arrived. we chatted on the way to the dorm, it was such a miraculous feeling, like you are out on your own with all your best friends and teachers! we reached the dorm and the wind was really strong! and we complained about the dorm and the hole in the toilet.

we got our school uniforms and tried it on for the first time and everyone exclaimed about how ugly it is, and dion was folding her pants. the extremely squeezy bus rides, the trip to wu mei, how we lost the large packet of tissue, how cheapo we are (instead of a bottle of detergent, we bought the refill instead cos it was cheaper. :D ), and how 8 people shared 2 chicken wings only because we were tired and wanted to rest. how we complained that the road to wu mei is long and tiring and eventually got used to the distance at the end of the trip and found the distance rather short.

we went to the zoo and saw few stuffs, but bought tonnes of stuff at the wholesale place. how we find out about the many different shopping areas in Beijing, the food, such as xi dan ming zhu, wu dao kou, tian yi, fu cheng men... climbing up the great wall (near dying), and the slide down the great wall... how it snowed on the first sunday we arrived and i was so excited i wanted to get out of the building and into the snow immediately. but then realised that snowing is only romantic in movies and kind of frustrating in real life. my whole shoe was wet and so many people bought ugg boots that afternoon.

how we went to the yi he yuan and the snow on the floor was really thick, and we went all the way to the other side of the palace and walked back again, and we had to climb over this hill to get to the other side so we could eat macdonalds. how dion and i dried our boots with the hand dryer in macs and walking around barefooted and not giving a damn about the wierd stares we received from others.how we also went to owl city's concert and didn't get scared by the surroundings, mocking silk floss, but getting high over owl city and taking tonnes of pictures.

the late nights on the last week was most memorable. sleeping at 4am in the morning, camwhoring like no one's business in the laundry room, jiayi dancing with qiyuan's pants (thermal wear i think), with yang yi and elias joining us. naming sy's bear juicy, and all those wierd but extremely fun stuffs. including the shake and pop (that cherry), and the wierd poses elias came up with, and how no one but elias can do the poses...

how we were counting down to the day we can go home on the first week, but counting the numbers we were left with before we go home on the last week... how the wind was so strong when we went to the bird nest and water cube that we felt like we were turning into ice cubes. how we went for cip and i treated it like a come-and-go thing, not putting in any emotion, but the kids that we taught left me such impression that i felt guilty of my attitude. they welcomed us, and cried when we told them it was our last time teaching them...

how i got sick on the second week and didn't manage to go to the factory or xiang shan. the ktv session on the last week, me being monitress and clueless on when to say 'qi li'. i miss the teachers, mr ang, chen xiu qing lao shi, wang dan dan lao shi (i love her!), mrs chang (love her too! although without her, we don't have to clean our room :D), mr kong, mr tan, the funny literature teacher whom everyone loves, ms ong and everyone on this trip.

how we discovered how fun badminton was only on the last 2 weeks and played a lot during that period of time. how the wu shu teacher tormented us with his physical training and how gay and sexist he was (and a camwhore and poser!) how some guys got drunk and said some ridiculous stuffs to us. how our room was very 'open' and everyone just walk around in bra and panties sometimes, and shout out loud when one person suddenly opens the door! how we bought jian bing, strawberry tang hu lu, fried chicken, yang rou chuan, bao zi, zhen jiao, and drank lu lu, and eat the super spicy veggie!

how we went for the tuesday whole day trip together and ate 'bian tai la' and everyone was gulping down water and sucking in the air. how we walked for the whole morning to discover that the wang fu we wanted to go became an office, the gu ju became a primary school, and the hutong was some dilapidated 'danger' road.

pardon me for the mess of this post, because i don't know how to tidy up my memories (i don't want to do it anyway), and don't want to pen down some things in better English. right now, my memories of beijing are so mixed up all over the place so i decided i had better just write it down somewhere in case one day i forget all the teeny weeny details (the people, the places) of this wonderful trip that actually created such deep, lasting impression in me! i have so much to say until i don't what to say! when my senior told me that if you don't go for GCP, you are missing out a large part of your life and you will regret it! initially, i thought she was only exaggerating, but now, looking back, HEY! its true!! that was really the best 6 weeks in my whole entire life!

I shouldn't be here.
I should be mugging math, trying out all sorts of trigo, geometry, log, whatever questions...

Well, can't be helped. I 'm just too bored.

I made a list of the movies that i want to watch, and here goes:

11.Munich
12.The shark is still working

All by either steven spielberg or clint eastwood. they're good :D 

YO people!  this blog is seriously dead... and i have no official plans to revive it :)
(i mean like my blog is here for me to jabber when i have nothing to better to do or when i feel like it. so who cares who reads this blog! xD)

i think i'm like so dead now cause its week 4 and i haven't started revising! (when blocks are in week 6..)
oh gosh, i can't believe i still can be cool about this... LOL
its like even when i have the time to revise, i'm either downloading songs, inserting songs into iTunes, then putting it into my ipod, or youtubing dbsk... ( jieyi got me hooked onto dbsk!! i didn't like them before... but now its a different story. =P)
Then even when i have the time to sleep, i'd still be either listening to songs or watching videos on my ipod... (this is getting a little out of hand).

and cca is resuming this thurs! its not logical at all to resume cca just 2 weeks before block tests!
and i haven't started on hmp sia, be it performance or concert journal or music analysis or whatsoever!
to be honest, i've thought about quitting, but then i kind of promised myself when naijing decided to quit hmp that i will stay on in hmp, until i graduate, no matter what happens. So i think its the determination that keeps me going, not really interest...

and i really regretted not taking third lang...
i still remember when i was p6 and filling in the option form and i really wanted to take 3rd lang but then my parents were really against so in the end i couldn't take it. (i even quarelled with my parents for like 2 times over the 3rd lang matter) I mean like what's wrong with trying!! (although taking 3rd lang would have been really tiring... and i prolly will get home late everyday cause there's like hmp, piano lesson, cca and other stuffs...)

ok, i think i must have been really bored to dig out the old stuffs and ramble about it...

til another day...

love <3

it angers me even if i think about it slightly, but i have made up my mind to let it not bother me... althought it may take a while for me to truly achieve it...
but i will

what i really feel puzzled is the reason behind the action
jealousy?

well, despite everything, i still hold on to my beliefs. (but i do feel hurt)
And, do not challenge it, because i have my limits too.

p.s. i don't care whether everyone or no one reads this blog. its not for entertainment purposes

laugh if you want, i don't care if you are an asshole or not
