Wonderful
I'm in a fabulous mood today. So wonderful(:Wonderful
Reasons for good mood:
1. my table is FINALLY packed!
This is like so random and dumb but you can't possibly understand the satisfaction I felt. Uh. The whole pile of clothes, papers, rubber bands, earings, hair bands, cds, jerseys, towels, books, wires and the list goes on IS CLEARED! At first, I thought it was quite fun having a whole pile of things then you do some treasure-hunt, but after packing for about 4 hours, I think that neatness is a VIRTUE. Heh. And now, there aint any clothes on the table, just two neat boxes and a pencil case.
2. Today was a fun day
Practice was ok except for the fact that it started out horrendously. My stamina suck. Jingmei and I went walked to the CC like some siao zabor, laughing and laughing over some pig-hair. COuldn't even walk straight and some lady was staring at us. Lunched with weiwen and ann, stoned there for an hour, went to school to shoot and play with a spoilt bench, and trained home. met yvon on the way.

Spoilt bench. I was about to lie on it then the whole thing went slanted and I landed on the ground. Looked damn obscene.
The rain was horrible. Drenched in the rain and Jingmei hated it. Stamped across the big puddles of water and I felt GREAT but someone gave me the agonizing look heh. The rain was even BIGGER when I walked home but it felt great. Just that it was a little slippery and my slippers dropped halfway so I had to go back to retrieve it. Nearly fell but I DIDN'T FALL! (: I was just praying that the lightning did not strike me. I don't wanna die so early ><>3. I'm still in the holidaying trip and reminiscing the wonderful memories(:
I'm surprised that I enjoyed the China trip so much. The stereotype thinking is that China is a BORING, OLD-FASHIONED place to visit, but it definitely isn't. Learnt about a lot of things and tried many things which I never did, and the tour guide was WONDERFUL.
It's amazing how much they can tell you and how fluent they can connect the information. They seem to be telling you stories but yet, it's informative and funny. It's like they have never-ending things to tell. Ah. I'm envious.
The trip to China spanned over a period of 10 days, and I visited Beijing and Jiangnan. Stayed in Beijing for 3 days and the hotel was the best in terms of bathtub, bed, television channels, breakfast and uh, that's all actually.
DAY 1
Didn't really do anything that day actually, since I took the night flight. Met sylvia at the airport(:
She was commenting that she didn't expect me to wear a turtleneck. What's wrong with turtlenecks. lol. And I'm wondering why it's called turtleneck. Turtles don't even have necks. ok, this is retarded.
Stoned around and had my ass on the plane for a long wrecking 6 hours. My butt turned sore and numb. Why don't they have nice comfy cushions! I thought the torture was over but it turned out there was MORE. Cos we reached the airport in Shenzhen and had to take a domestic flight to Beijing. WASTE OF TIME. There was some admin problems so once again, STONED in the airport for 2 hours before taking the hour-long flight to Beijing.
I think we arrived at Beijing at like 3pm? The wind was comfortable and I felt so relaxed. Went to some pretty place which I forgot the name. Didn't really listen to the tour guide talk. Just appreciated everything(:



That girl's my Mum's colleague's daughter. Heh. she's cute and straightforward. She told her mum damn loudly: MUMMY, JIEJIE PRETTIER THAN THIS JIEJIE. -.-
whatever. I know lah, no need SOOO straightforward right.
But that's the innocent and cute part of all children isn't it? If only everything can be as simple as what they perceive the world out that is. Sigh. Complexity. How complex is that?
Ahh damn. I realised I got the pictures messed up! argh. Recollection(: But my memory sucks. nevermind. The main picture is that: CHINA'S PRETTY. Yah. just some parts though. And I'm wondering why I'm farting now. ew. Didn't even eat dinner. AH. GOsh, I'm getting random.
Oh. And there are many important points learnt during this trip.
For starters, Singapore's super safe. A zebra=crossing IS a zebra-crossing, where the pedestrian's safety is ensured. Not like china's one. HORRIBLE.
The cigarettes which Singaporeans smoke are somewhat nicer-smelling. They don't have some chaota smell. But SMOKING'S STILL BAD. I dislike the fact that parents smoke while talking to their kids. I'm so glad that my dad doesn't smoke(:
Singaporeans' standard of hygeine is higherrr. You walk on the streets of China and you'll hear "KORRRRRRR" then a second later, "PUI!" My dad even mastered the art of making that sound to purposely annoy me.
Yuck. Spitting -.- Can't they do everything in the toilet?
Oh. And our toilets are better. I think EVERYONE knows that. haha.
Geez, I'm feeling lazy. I think I'll shorten all the details and dump the photos in. Just lesser than 15 pics. Selective photos(:

The biggest screen in China. You know, where they have all the advertisements. It's so big that I wonder if the audience would get the message. But it's pretty at night cos it lights up. ok, redundant point. But yea, it's unique(:

Climbed the great wall. Just a short journey and I was already panting. The fact that the whole of Great Wall of China is man-made is still amazing, till today I think.

Loitered outside the olympics sports hall. Didn't go in cos it would be a waste of money and it wasn't as big as it seemed, according to the tour guide. But it was windy..... and my hair was a complete mess due to static electricity. No matter how I combed it back, it would stick to my head. Rawr.


Bird nest. The sky's a pretty shade of blue isn't it.
I tried on the traditional clothing for the cocubine and it sucked. The headgear is like freaking heavy and I bet if I continued wearing that for a few weeks my neck would shorten by inches. Then the sleeves were like long and uh, translucent. But it was a nice experience(:
Ahh, I know I look like crap.

At the top of longest man-made bridge in the world. See the sun, the sky. One word: breath-taking

Mao Ze Dong memorial? Don't know. Contributions to China. He's great I admit, although his support for communism is the reason to the fact that China could have been much more powerful than USA long long ago.
We had the chance to witness the battle scenes during the olden days where the people ride on horses and fight. Although it was a short performance of 15 mins, it was insightful. And they really did seem to "fight". I thought it was fake, haha.












Suzhou! Rode on a small boat which was peddled by a woman who was really strong. She sang some songs which I didn't understand the meaning but it was high-pitched yet soulful. It made my heart stir, for no apparent reason.

The street where my mum bought pig trotters. Ate it a few days ago and I'm sick of it. Trust me to think that the people who sold pig trotters were so lucky cos they could eat such delicious food EVERYDAY.


Sight-seeing.
which actually means more smokers. ahh. I just resent their presence.


Night-scenery. See the tower. The unique thing about the boat that I was on is that it rotates round, on the sea. But there were some stupid poles blocking. And my mum said the scenery was much prettier 2 years ago cos the lights were brighter. Now China's on this environmental-saving scheme.
Last day. Shopping(: Jackie Chan looks realistic here right. At 1st glance. There are even wrinkles on his face. And his charismatic smile. lols




That's all(:
CLASS CHALET. Just a few pictures lah. Lazy to kope all of them.
Kezo = FUN AND LOVE.
That's probably the simple conclusion which sums it all. No need more explanations or words. Those memories, keep them. Those awful conflicts, remember them, since you probably won't have the chance to have the same conflict with the same person.
I got to know MORE PEOPLE this year and got CLOSER to those I already knew. Still have the reputation of being dao to some, but whatever. Socialising is tiring ok!
Not gonna write notes to anybody cos we'll still get to meet. I'll do it when I end year 6, cos at that time, I'll mature much more and my perspectives will be so much different.




When I was packing my table, I read the rijis that I had in primary school and the autograph book. I laughed at how innocent I was and the juvenile language which I used. Can't believe I was like that. hah.
Photobucket's loading super slowly. Shit it. GOnna go buy books with jingmei tomorrow. That pig hasn't decided which nice place to go and even suggested skipping lunch. HOW CAN. I must enjoy life to the fullest. What's more, I just got my allowance. heh.
Chinese New Year's around the corner. How time flies. Gambling time(: And more goodies and wine to drink. Wonderful soup and delicacies. and most importantly, more money and angbaos.
I haven't saved the entire day. eff it. My dad just nagged at me. roar. Shitshit. I need to savesavesave. ahh. Grow up please Christina, you asshole.
Self-control.
Learn it.
