BSC!
Sunday, December 5, 2010 @ 2:09 AM

Going to just paste my whole BSC diary here, it'll be super dry, cause sometimes I just wrote the diary for the sake of keeping track of the events that happened that day, anyway doubt anyone will read everything cause it's damn long. 11,200+ words lol.

Anyway, overall BSC was awesome awesome awesome! Kinda starting to miss it ahh. But quite sad that the temperature wasn't that low enough for us to see snow. Oh well.

Can't believe I just arrived Singapore yesterday and I'm going off to Shanghai tomorrow. Gosh. ><

Day 1: 28 October
Watched Ip Man 2 on airplane. Cup noodles with Yongxin on the plane! Got uniform, had school tour around school. Went to this huge supermarket nearby to get stuffs for dorm. Slept at 9+

Day 2: 29 October
Woke at 6+. Took public bus to Tiananmen and Forbidden City. Long long walk, with tour guide. Walked up a small hill jinyangshan and tried on the traditional clothes LOLOL. Felt super embarrassed and noob especially when the hc guys were looking wth .__. Then all of them crowded around the ‘emperor seat’ while some of them wore the traditional clothes. They made a lot of OOOOH and noisy sounds .__. Immature much. HORRIBLE BUS RIDE ON 810. Interesting experience. Very interesting. Got so physically close to guys that it was disturbing… legs were cramped like mad after it. Squeezed so crazily on the bus. After dinner walked around the dormitory and bought some food for breakfast the next day. Helped ask a random guy refilling his bottle to help Shichun open her Clean and Clear facial cleanser cause we all couldn’t open it at all (like seriously used so much energy cannot open..) and THEN HE OPENED IT SO FREAKING EASILY? Like his second try and he took less than 3 seconds to open it gosh man. But we’ve no idea what’s his name and class and room and stuffs and I doubt I can recognize him again so he shall be known as the Clean and Clear guy hehe.

Day 3: 30 October
Took public bus to Beijing Zoo and saw pandas. Really cute luh! :D Resisted myself from purchasing panda souvenirs cause they weren’t necessities. Headed to the haiyangguan to watch water animal performance. Before that we were mass taking jump shots from this chair cause it makes us look like we jumped really high. Then smsed parents and Weiren cause I haven’t contacted them at all since departure. The performance was not bad, just that there was a bit too much talk and too little performance, like I expected the dolphins and sealion to jump more. And cause of that I kinda zoned out at some parts. Walked around the zoo and ate lunch at some Australian Café which was so not Australian at all. In fact it was so expensive. The food was average, fortunately I picked the correct dish. Their spaghetti and curry dishes were a bit.. weird. Walked more, took more photos, then headed out of zoo. Went to the shopping centre opposite the zoo, and gosh it was so darn crowded. Like a crowded form of Bugis. Spent 200 yuan on 6 items, best buy was definitely a pair of boots for 66yuan cause apparently other dorm people paid up to 200yuan for a similar pair of boots. And our shopping experience was relatively pleasant compared to other groups. Like one shopkeeper pulled the bag of someone to demand her to stay at her shop to buy her goods? And ours… LOL one totally thought we were China students (despite my Singaporean accent Chinese) and asked if we were chuzhong or gaozhong, then saying how we must study hard else we might end up tending stalls in that place. Went back at 4+ on a super crowded bus, but not as bad as the previous night’s 70+ nanyang and hwachong people trip. Ate at some peking roasted duck restaurant, the duck was not bad, just that the serving was a bit small. And everything is super cheap luh, like each person cost 15-16yuan, but it wasn’t that filling unfortunately. Went to haolinju and jinfengchengxiang to buy more food. Then got yangrouchuang from hc guys who helped us ordered, it was not bad luh. Just that gosh they even had a dare for the yangrouchuan, which was quite mean cause someone gave another person’s number to him which is just =.= then the hc teacher hiding their 50 yangrouchuan LOLOL. Talked on the phone with Weiren for 45min (9.15-10.00pm). Crazy luh, never knew I could talk on the phone with someone for so long. And brushing my teeth while on the phone LOL. Then wangdandan caught me in my tee cause I forgot to wear my jacket, cause must wear long sleeve, but it completely slipped off my mind. Was darn sad cause I didn’t want to give her my sanba class tee.. Fortunately she let me off luh.

Day 4: 31 October
Woke up the latest so far! 7+? And it’s the first time I see sunlight when I woke up during this trip. Went to xiandaiwenxueguan and the teacher talked A LOT. Was quite interesting at some parts but kinda zoned out at places. Afternoon was shopping and gosh spent 400yuan can’t believe myself. And I kinda regret not lowering down the price lower. The shopkeepers were super aggressive, like when you had no interest in buying and walked away, they’ll pull you back. Moreover sometimes when you don’t agree with their given price and want a lower one, they’ll ask you to go away if you don’t want. And when you really don’t want and walk away they’ll pull you back and give you a lower price than before. Quite annoying and scary really. Well but the stuffs I bought were quite nice, though could have lowered the price more, but can’t do anything about it already. Then went to laoshechaguan to watch performance. Found the two man comic and the hand shadow thingo really interesting. And the part where they sang with their mouth holding on to a candle holder with 3 candles on it. Darn cool. Just that there was this couple within an arm reach of me doing PDA during the performance. VERY ANNOYING and DISTURBING. Could totally hear them kissing and stuffs wth. Like do it in a more private place with hardly anyone around luh, rather than a place with at least 5 to 6 people within 1 metre radius of them. =.= Went back to dorm really late at 9.45. Volunteered to shower last cause I doubt anyone wants to shower last when it’s so late already. :D I’m tired too, but no difference luh. Curfew at 11pm, but now it’s 11.45 le hehe. Oh and I think we were quite mean to the HC guys cause we misread the laundry time and thought our laundry time was the whole day, but rather it was just Monday Thursday Sunday morning, and had a bit of conflict oh man. Felt really bad luh.

Day 5: 1 November
Cake and egg for breakfast. Had 文学 and 社会 lessons. The lessons were not bad, very informative. Chinese lessons with liu jun was watching some quite interesting movie, unfortunately I was distracted by the computer sometimes hehe. Discussed about our lunwen content during wangdandan’s lesson. Math lessons with Mr Ang but it had nothing to do with math at all. He started checking the guys’ booklet and said some quite lame jokes which apparently was said also in another class. =.= Drawing lessons with Dr Tan was quite interesting, a bit boring though but drawing is quite fun though I’m not good at it heh. Calligraphy lessons later were boring cause we didn’t get to write on the first lesson, she just went through all the different form of calligraphy writing. Had quite a lot of internet time so yay. Dinner, then more Internet time, discussed more lunwen stuffs, then bought 100yuan top up card for phone.

Day 6: 2 November
MY CHEEKS ARE PEELING! Eek. Lessons as usual, the interesting part was the zao cao. Super hilarious and felt quite noob doing it hahaha. Drawing of Dr Tan was epic. Super epic. I totally “shuai-ified” him haha. Then during the break between the last lesson and dinner we went out to buy stuffs and I tried 大腰. IT’S DAMN NICE AND HEAVENLY OMG. FATTY AND OILY AND UNHEALTHY BUT WHATEVER. IT’S DARN DARN NICE. Bought more stuffs omg, spent like 70+ yuan O: SPENT 1000YUAN ALREADY OMG. When not even a week has past. Should control myself but ahhh got so many nice food. Should have brought more money. And I still need to chiong out that 400 words reflection. Hais. BUT DA YAO ROCKS ^^

Day 7: 3 November
Woke up later than usual cause it’s fieldtrip day! Went to 香山 first and gosh the walk up was very tiring. Sweated quite a lot surprisingly. The stairs were torturous, felt like it was forever till I would reach the peak. Walked with Qiuhao cause the pace of the rest was a bit slow, and the satisfaction of reaching the top was very good. Went down the hill by chairlift with cost 50yuan and the scenery was super nice, though it was really chilling due to the wind. Had takeaway MacDonalds for lunch and It wasn’t really nice, especially the soggy fries. Eating on the bus wasn’t comfortable either, with Yong Xin and I spilling our drink on the seat of the bus heh. And everyone pilling their French fries to me such that I had almost 7 packets. But I ate about a quarter of that only luh, who would be so crazy to eat them all. Went to 北京植物园 and the scenery was quite nice too. Took a couple of nice pictures there. And spammed jump shots with fellow Nanyang-ers. xD Some really nice jump shots too. Oh cause we had to walk quite deep into the 植物园 to some temple and walk back to the main entrance, and the walk is pretty far plus we were quite dead tired already from all the walking, and we had to catch up with the hwachong people who were way ahead of us, so we took this vehicle thingo that costs 10yuan back, and on the way when we overtook the walking hwachong people we totally shouted BYEEEEE! Like totally 幸灾乐祸 haha. Slept really soundly on the bus trip back to the dormitory. Had some free time before we settle our dinner so I wrote some of my reflections, only a quarter though not very accomplished.. Ate dinner at a Japanese restaurant with the rest of the hwachong guys, practically crashed the whole restaurant cause there were like seventy plus of us (occupied both the first and second level of the restaurant). The dinner wasn’t pleasant, with two tables of hwachong guys ordering sake and beer and some getting quite red and a bit drunk and their 脸色looked really bad. Observed several girls’ behaviour got quite put off with them. Like seriously laugh so openly and loudly for so long? Seriously seems super attract attention, and the way she contradicts what she tells others and how she presents herself, darn pissing. And someone else who would totally ‘abandon’ a good friend and go to a bunch of crazy and high people just cause they are more fun as company. Don’t like how I see ugly sides of people nowadays. And knowing something else which made me quite sad, though I didn’t say it out, but yea thinking about it in the future just makes me sad. Slept at 12am to chiong 400 words reflections!
BON DEUXIEME MOIS~

Day 8: 4 November
We were almost late for school today, like after chionging back to class and settling down, the teacher came in one minute (or less) later to take attendance. Darn close gosh. Had wenxue and shehui lessons as usual, and then Dr Ang’s double lesson which was mainly about permutation and combination. Quite like his style of teaching though it’s amusingly lame. Realised quite a lot of interesting stuffs just from (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2. First wushu lessons was quite.. amusing I guess? Liked the part where we got to watch the guys do push-ups, first time witnessing this kind of thing, and it’s quite cool to observe who are the stronger and weaker ones. Those strong ones look quite shuai doing push-ups heh. Went to 好邻居 during the one hour plus break before dinner to buy stuffs using our transport card since we hardly use public transport nowadays. Stocked up on quite of food stuffs. And I realized I have 16 packets of pokys now haha so epic! And for the first time I have 0yuan expenditure today! Since the transport card money isn’t really counted hehe. Webcamming is fun, especially when you’re overseas heh. Oh the other interesting part of today was forming groups for CIP, cause at least 2-3 girls must be in each group of 8 people, so it’s like the ‘first time’ there’s more interaction between nanyang and hwachong. Asked Gary first cause he’s like the only guy I know and I know he knows me. CIP sounds quite fun, though the aggressive part is a bit scary. Slept quite late cause was finishing our lun wen questions. Going to bed soon~

Day 9: 5 November
Wenxue and shehui lessons as usual. Interesting part was dance! 藏族舞蹈 which was quite cool, though felt a bit inferior cause 4 out of 6 girls were Chinese dancer. And ratio of 1:3 girls to boys, a bit scary. But it was a very good lesson, and gosh the teacher’s shencai is darn good. Though the progress is a bit slow cause of the boys sometimes, but overall it was good! Oh and we could hear the 民歌 sounds from opposite and it was quite amusing cause it sounded.. well just amusing hehe. After lunch (and found out that it happened .___.) took bus (22) and subway to Beijing Olympic park. Went to the 中国科学技术馆 and watched Imax movie. Something about protecting Pandas which is very interesting and cool. Cause the Imax screen effect was very realistic, and the plot is not bad either. Quite touching, and I especially love the part when the female lead carried the baby panda, DAMN DAMN CUTE OMG. Then we had free time to explore the science centre ourselves. Went to some futuristic exhibit, where there’s all the space stuffs and tried this stimulator which turns your whole body in all directions. Darn cool especially when you get turned upside down. And fortunately for me mine had a lot of upside down turnings. Then looked at the human body exhibit, quite cool too but didn’t really learn a lot of stuffs cause we didn’t spend time reading the explanation. Took a lot of photos though. And jump shots! After science centre was walking quite long to the Bird Nest stadium and Water Cube. Didn’t have much time there cause the sun was setting soon, so was taking pictures really quickly. Chionged back to school via public transport and the sky was so dark already and it felt like it was 8pm, but it was only 5.55pm. Dinner in school and had night study which was darn pointless cause most of us didn’t bring our laptops as we thought there isn’t going to be night study since we’re going out. So spent most of the time sleeping rather uncomfortably and getting both my arms numbed and back suan-ed after sleeping on the table. Went to 好邻居 and bought this super nice 统一蜜桃多peach juice drink for only 3 yuan. Damn damn nice. Gosh!
Day 10: 6 November
Found out that I stained the bedsheets really badly gosh. The worse stained I’ve ever seen. Gosh man. But fortunately today was the day we change our bedsheets! Moreover Qiuhao stained her bed too and Shichun cause she vomited. Had cup noodles for breakfast. Headed to Great Wall of China at mutianyu, the stairs up was quite long but manageable. Great wall looked exactly the same as the one I went to went I was in primary school. Took a couple of shots, then took the toboggan down and IT WAS SUPER FUN. Had fun trying to take pictures of myself and the track while controlling the toboggan. And one of the staff was like “不要照!” LOLOL. Bought a couple of stuffs at the entrance of the great wall. Was very proud of my bargaining skills. Like 35yuan thing got it for 10yuan. xD Went for lunch and sat at the teacher’s table with Gin and Shichun, felt super super weird and restricted. Ate a lot less than usual and felt a bit irritated when wanglaoshi said that yuemin yongxin and yonghui were the big eaters and not me =.= cause I’m totally the one who finishes everyone’s leftover and eats the most luh. One lovely hour of bus ride to 十三陵 and it was so funny when all the hwachong guys were lazy to get off the bus when we reached. Then Dr Ang was like outside the bus and shouted “快点啦!” and all the guys immediately stood up, darn darn funny. 十三陵 was quite interesting but a bit scary, since it’s a royal cemetery after all. The underground palace was cool, but sadly can’t take much pictures in it. Then went to the 神道 which was a bit scary since the sun was setting real soon, and the road was super super long and endless. Another hour ride back to dormitory. Gosh I love all the long bus rides. Darn nice to sleep in. Walked around the dormitory to explore for places to eat out dinner, and found this really nice noodles shop called 私家somethingsomething. Really worth it since the portion is huge and each bowl of noodles cost about 10-14 yuan.

Day 11: 7 November
Woke up really late cause I had slight headache, felt quite horrible. Went to 庆丰包子店 for breakfast and ordered小龙包子 and 茶鸡蛋. Gosh they have loads of小龙包子, like 9小龙包子 per serving. Most of dormmates couldn’t finish it but I managed to! So quite proud of myself. Went to 798艺术区 to explore around, some places were really cool, especially love one of the photography gallery. Then some of the shops sold really really cool stuffs too, love these kind of shops. Many Nanyang-ers had their self-potrait drawn by street artists, was tempted to go for it too but there wasn’t enough time left and the standard of drawing wasn’t THAT particularly good to me. Lunch at KFC, gosh fast food restaurant meals AGAIN. No wonder my throat feels funny now from all the fried stuffs. Went to 电影博物馆 and felt rather crappy cause the wind was like 4-5 级 and my head hurt really badly. Was very sian-ed throughout all the exhibits cause it was so long and my headache. Didn’t know why I suddenly started tearing either.. like couldn’t control at all and yet I’ve no idea what made me teared. But started to hype up later cause the later exhibits were more interesting, like they showed about the special effects of various movies, darn cool really. Then went to this really high end restaurant for a super early dinner, like at 5pm gosh. Went back to dorm and showered first, then realized my temperature is 37.5degrees gosh. Sleeping earlier for the first time!

Day 12: 8 November
Temperature dropped to 36.9degrees fortunately. During文学 went to 第二炮 hospital to check up, and got some horrible medicine which I hardly ate cause I’m feeling perfectly fine now. Went back to school for 社会 lessons. Then went to 二附中for 随班上课 and had 自我介绍 during 班会. Quite sad that we didn’t get to go 三帆 but our class was quite welcoming and enthusiastic about our arrival. Lessons were mostly boring cause they were going through exam scripts. Ended up sketching and drawing random objects I could find. But one part of their lesson kinda scared me, the way the teacher presented the top few for each subjects, and the overall top 10 for the class, the way they are so open about marks is really different from Singapore. Like for us once you get your report books then teacher won’t really talk about marks and then it’s holidays already. And the form teacher really encourages and motivates those that are disappointed in their results. Later we had 书法 which was not bad since we got to write 书法. Break before dinner was walking endless rounds around the track with Qiuhao and talking to her. Quite fun and relaxing really. Especially the semi-dark sky and the random music played against the background. And observed guys sprinting so fast that we can hardly see their legs, and this guy banging into another guy and both of them falling on the ground. Dinner, and back to dormitory.

Day 13: 9 November
Woke up quite late today but wasn’t late for school. 文学 and 社会 as usual. Then 随班上课, some lessons were checking through papers, but during Chemistry and Physics they had lessons which was way better. Had redox lessons during Chem, Chinese of redox is 氧化还原反应 quite cool really. And if I’m not wrong 离子化合物 is ionic compound and 共价化合物 is covalent compound. Their periodic table is damn cool too, like all the elements are in Chinese, metal elements have 金字旁 and non-metals have 石字旁. Damn cool lah. Took a photo of it, with a table of hanyupinyin of the elements too! Then Physics lesson was about friction (摩擦力), stuffs like 静摩擦力, 滑动摩擦力 and 滚动摩擦力, no idea what’s these three in English though. Oh and the 语文 teacher was so nice to photocopy extra sets of the 考试作文范文 for us to read, really like two of the five essays she gave us. Love the ending of this essay “那天下午,太阳的余晖打在她身上很美,我就那样快跑过去和“怪人”一起走在夕阳中。” Sound simple but it really fits the whole essay nicely. Oh but their essay is really short, like minimum number of words is 800 which is like only 2 作文稿纸 sides. And their 作文题目is like “生活中,我们经常用一个字来评价一个人外貌或性格,如酷、帅、木、二… … 请以《这个同学有点儿__》为题写一篇不少于800字的记叙文。” It allows so much space for creativity compared to the rather restrictive 报章报道 that we have. But I’ve no idea what the characteristic of 二 is. Went back to BSC class and had mass running practice at 5pm cause we have some running orderly competition later with the class we’re attached to. Temperature was below 10 degrees then and my teeth were chattering while waiting on the track with the rest. Everyone was like shivering and wanted the run to start as soon as possible. Quite cool to run in a group, totally made me feel like running. So jogged a couple more rounds with Yongxin Yonghui and Amanda. Stopped after a few rounds and continued fast jogging one round, then resting for a round and fast jogging another round. Last round was slow jog ¾ of the track and sprinting the last quarter with Yonghui and Amanda. Then went to dance studio to do some stretching, so relieved and glad that I could still do front split despite not doing it since EOYs period and wearing jeans underneath the school uniform pants. Felt rather accomplished! Didn’t have much appetite during dinner cause of all the exercise, one of the dinner I took the least food, then went to a stationery shop nearby and got a blue tetracoil hair band which cost only 1 yuan ($0.20), when blogshops in Singapore sell it for $1 and according to Shichun some places in Singapore sell it 3 for $1. So quite worth it yay. Then tried their bubble tea and it’s not bad! Green tea bubble tea tasted like Pokka Green Tea. Night study had mass briefing with Dr Ang, then discussed a bit about 论文, and back to dormitory at 8.30pm.

Day 14: 10 November
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY! Hope you like that mini montage present I emailed you! Brought our breakfast back to kaixuan classroom cause qihang was still locked and we needed to chiong lunwen stuffs. Had 文学and 社会 lesson in aoxiang classroom. Went for 随班上课 as usual and copied a bunch of physics in Chinese from their physics textbook. It’s all the Newton’s Law, Vector Addition and Resolution, Friction. Saw their Math textbook and it’s quite cool too cause it’s trigo in Chinese. Brought back our lunchboxes to dormitory to eat cause I needed to get a headache medicine for Amanda. PE was watching the guys having basketball competitions and gosh it was damn cool to watch them, cause they were super pro and look quite shuai when they played. Really exciting to watch the matches, sadly the class I supported (七班) didn’t win. Lessons after that and I guiltily slept for a few minutes in their geography lessons, cause I couldn’t relate anything in it, not geography student mah. And their 历史 textbook is freaking cool cause it’s all the BSP stuffs we memorized for BSP exam, and the textbook is way better than the BSP notes. English lessons was freaking cool cause we watched the movie “Tuesdays with Morrie”, I think I’ve watched the movie quite some time ago but I can’t remember it cause it’s too long ago. And the students watched the movie in English subtitles which is quite cool. Nice, touching and very meaningful movie. Stuffs like “We must love one another or die”, and “There’s nothing innately sinful about being dependent.” Quite cool. Came back and used computer all the way till dinner. After dinner went to 逛街 with Shichun, Qiuhao and Gin. Got three books for 45 yuan only omg, and three darn good English books (Marley & Me, P.S. I Love You, Time Traveler’s Wife). Got bubble tea then chionged back to class cause we had to be back by 7pm and we had only 2 minutes left. Did lunwen stuffs, and back to dormitory.

Day 15: 11 November
During 文学 the teacher practically summarized almost the whole 水浒传 which was damn draggy but quite cool in a way, especially the part of the super sharp knife that can pierce a person without staining the knife in blood cause the knife is so fast that the blood can’t even get in contact with the knife. 随班上课 again and the interesting part was PE cause the guys in our class participated in the inter-class basketball competition and we won! Their match was damn pro and good lah! Slept during most of the lessons again cause I just couldn’t help it and I didn’t understand a thing and I was very sleepy. Wushu was quite cool cause we had 10 people holding the hitting thingo and the rest kick it, quite fun to hold it but a bit scary cause 2 guys kicked my hand, and some kicked so hard that the thing flew out of my hand. Bought bubble tea during free time. After dinner we had this birthday bash for 2 hwachong guys (Modi-10 Nov, Jonathan Han-11 Nov), quite cool that everyone came to sing the birthday song. Back in dormitory, finished up collating interview results and got 2 羊肉串 from the guys! And surprisingly got internet connection in the dormitory and could sign into MSN. Slept at 12 midnight.

Day 16: 12 November
文学 teacher taught us about 诸葛亮! Quite cool! First half of dance lesson was some time thingo and we had to come out with our own movements to present the various time, and the guys mostly did wushu like LOL. Then our last 早操 session oh man quite sad. Second half of dance session was more challenging, required a lot of hand eye leg coordination gosh, totally got luan. Then the break before lunch, listened to Gary play piano and he played damn well, played 21 Guns and it’s totally stuck in my head. Suddenly missed my piano so badly. After lunch chionged to music room to try out the piano but totally can’t remember any pieces at all, should have brought my scores here ahh. Regret. Read Tuesdays with Morrie during lesson time cause it was kinda like our free time. Wushu lessons was quite fun, paired with Yutong and it was damn funny to do with her. Punching the red thingo and making the loud noise when hitting it is super shuang. Then dunno why became high and started taking pictures with the jiaolian, and when we previewed pictures he came and pointed to himself saying, “Who is this handsome boy over there.” In this super super weird china accent. DAMN FUNNY LOL. During break time before dinner went to buy bubble tea (again lol). And bought sushi for 5 yuan only, kimchi sushi omg super nice. Had CIP meeting which was quite failed cause only 2 guys and 2 girls were present and it felts super super weird and awkward. Went back to dormitory and had another CIP meeting along the corridors which I guess was pretty much better than the first one, though it’s still a bit quiet and weird. But at least we got stuffs done, but I have a feeling that we won’t really bond, and after CIP we’ll just be back to the usual kind of thing. Weird. Eek.

Day 17: 13 November
红烧牛肉 cup noodles for breakfast, left dormitory at 7.15am and headed to 欢乐谷 cause it takes 1.5h to travel there (bus to subway to bus) and the place opens at 9.00am. Weather was quite windy eek. Was very disturbed in the subway cause I was sitting at the side seat and there was this guy grabbing onto the pole near the side seat and coming really close to me, like if I lift my knee 15cm upwards I would have hit his crotch. And apparently he asked me “这位姑娘是从哪里来的?” and I ignored cause I was listening to music and really couldn’t hear what he was saying. (Qiuhao told me what he asked), moreover apparently he kept staring at me throughout the journey (Qiuhao told me that too cause I was looking down at my bag on my lap most of the time). Plus he was like unzipping his jacket in front of me wth, I was totally prepared to kick his crotch if he ever dare to do anything funny. At 欢乐谷, in the morning the queues were pretty long for the rides, especially one turny one which we waited for super long in the cold wind blowing against our bodies and we were all shivering and feeling cold all over. But the ride was fun so quite worth it. The two roller coasters were YAY! So long since I last taken the roller coaster. Went three times for one of the roller coast, first row, last row and second row! Then we took this go up damn fast and come down slowly ride, and another type is go up slowly and come down super fast kind, me and Gin took that for at least 4 times. Lunch at KFC was quite horrible, cause the queue was super long and hardly moved, plus the queue wasn’t in an orderly fashion, like people were not standing in one straight line. Haunted house was epic, thought it would be a lot scarier since they said that the ghosts were done by their staff, but turned out I only saw one real life ghost. Was damn scared at first and grabbed Yong Xin’s bag and squashed Qiuhao’s hand from clasping onto her hand using my upper arm. And cause people went in in batches of 10, and my batch was all Nanyang girls, we were so scared that we walked damn fast until we caught up with the previous batch which had Hwachong guys. And it wasn’t scary at all cause most of the time I don’t see anything scary at all, and the real life ghost was epic. Seem like he/she was more afraid of us than we were of him/her, cause some of us just started screaming crazily when we saw him/her and he/she hasn’t done anything. LOL. Then when we were leaving him/her I shouted “Jiayous!” and wanted to add a Good Job! But didn’t know what good job was in Chinese, so just shouted “好球!” which is super random and made people laugh. Last hour in 欢乐谷 was spent taking kiddy rides with some other BSC people, like merry go round and tea cup. We were totally high-ing during the merry go round and the staff saw that we enjoyed it so much and he let us ride it longer than usual. Tea cup was horrible and made me so damn giddy gosh. But it’s cool to reminisce childhood days hehe. Ride back to dormitory was super sleepy, but was damn fortunate to get seats in all 3 bus and subway rides. Oh and I couldn’t entered the subway with Shichun cause don’t know why there was some error in our cards, plus we were one of the last to tap our cards so the rest had went down to wait for the subway already, Gin, Qiuhao and Gary were inside waiting for us. So me feeling a bit lost went to the information counter and went in by an ‘illegal’ method with the permission of the staff. Was quite surprised that Gary waited for us cause it was totally unexpected plus all the guys also went down already (and he isn’t obliged to wait for us), so quite touched in a way cause when we couldn’t get in I felt quite lost and it reassured me in a way that there’s a guy waiting luh. So both of us bought 20 羊肉串 to give him to show our.. gratefulness. Had cup noodles for dinner cause we were all so tired to go out to find somewhere else to eat. Oh dear so unhealthy meals today.. cup noodles KFC cup noodles gosh.

Day 18: 14 November
Woke up with a really bad headache and temperature of 37.6 degrees, felt quite horrible until I took the Chinese medicine and fever went down to 36.9 degrees. Went to school for some talk by this American guy who stayed in Beijing for 1 year already and knows Chinese, English and Japanese quite well. His speech (actually it wasn’t really a speech but yea don’t know how to call it) was quite interesting and different but I zoned out at some parts cause of my headache. After this was going to 五道口. Was quite irritated cause there was actually a direct bus from our dormitory to the place but we went by bus to subway to bus which is pretty stupid and a waste of money. Just that some people wanted to stick to the guy’s way of travelling and refused to listen to someone so they went by the more costly and longer way. Went to I’m-not-sure-which-part of 五道口 to shop, ate some 麻辣 thingo with Yuemin and died from just one stick cause it was so freaking spicy. After that went to another place to shop but that place didn’t have much stuffs, it was just like random shops along the street. The other place was really like a normal shopping centre with loads of shops. Bought some stuffs, but overall didn’t buy much so not really satisfied, followed the wrong people I guess. Lunch was some 小吃place and their 红烧牛肉面 was damn damn spicy omg. Was having sore throat, runny nose, headache while eating it lol. Voice after that meal was totally cmi. Dinner was with another bunch of guys at some Korean barbeque restaurant but didn’t eat much cause we had late lunch and didn’t have much appetite, though it was a quite amusing dinner with Kayla, Gin, Shichun and Qiuhao. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. xD Went back by direct bus and collected cake for Miss Lin’s farewell and Mrs Tan’s welcome. Celebration was okay I guess, just that I felt a bit screwed cause my nose was acting up. Slept at about 1am, with a bunch of girls and guys playing bridge and gambling along the corridors. Like WOW, seriously.

Day 19: 15 November
Woke up really really late, but fortunately I got prepared in time! Lessons as usual, then instead of going to volleyball during PE, I ponned volleyball cause it’s really boring there, teacher don’t even care about us, and Yongxin went to the hospital so I don’t have any company there, and apparently the guys ponned volleyball too lol. Joined Shichun and Gin for some Chinese aerobic thingo which was quite amusing cause the steps were rather interesting, and the fact that I was completely new to them and was totally following and learning on the spot, was quite amused lol. Had flag raising ceremony after that, really like China’s national anthem compared to Singapore’s lah! So much shorter and feels much more patriotic than Singapore’s . Liu Jun’s lesson after that and finished watching 落叶归根, found the movie damn meaningful lah. Lunch, then Dr Ang’s lesson which was quite interesting cause he thought us more about permutation and combination, using the example of getting a Hwachong guy who has a younger sister and asking if another 5 hwachong guys would want to know his sister. Like his way of teaching cause he starts of in a very non-mathematical way, very real-life kind of situation approach to teach the topic. Damn good. Calligraphy after that, learnt how to write 家和万事兴. But totally gave up trying to write nicely cause no matter how much I try it turns out horrible, so ended up writing random names in cursive handwriting. Break before dinner was walking around outside school compound and buying more food whooots! Found out a 麻辣 food stall thingo very near our school and was damn damn happy cause it’s super nice and cheap and worth it! Bought 4 breads from 庆丰城祥 and roast duck sushi which tastes pretty nice! Gosh just love all the 小吃 around our school, so cheap and so good and so worth it. Think I’ll totally miss all the good food here. And not forgetting the not-straight overhead bridge which sells really cheap books, gloves, ear muffs, hats, and whatnot. Awesome man.

Day 20: 16 November
2+h bus ride to 天津, slept very shuang-ly. Went to 南开中学 to attend two of their lessons (Physics and Math). Physics was just about Newton’s Law, math was way more challenging, some functions logs thingo that seems like some Math Olympiad questions. Then had school tour around their school compound. Love their school architecture, damn English-ly and western-y and freaking pretty! Took quite a few of nice pictures there. Lunch was damn yummy too, had pasta omg. After that headed towards 周恩来纪念馆 but turned out we couldn’t go in cause needed some pre-booking thingo. So went to 天津文化街 to shop and walk around, didn’t buy anything for myself (other than an ice cream) cause I don’t use anything over there. Bought stuffs for some people. 2+h drive back to 北京, slept super soundly gosh. Had dinner at some restaurant, quite cool cause we occupied 9 tables, and girls only took up 2.5 tables lol. Super entertaining dinner cause of the dares the guys had. First one was Leslie walking to Xinda and shouting super loudly “你很美!”, next one was Wayne catwalking and holding a 饺子 with a pair of chopsticks towards Dr Ang and giving a very flirty look. Then was this guy (not sure of his name, think it’s Kaixiang?) going up to Yuemin and telling her “Luther is mine, stay away from him.” Then after that was Luther going up to Liu Jun lao shi (who was sat beside Yuemin) and giving her a 饺子, and someone shouting “LUTHER MISS TARGET!” LOLOL. Then was this random guy who went up to Yongxin (who’s in our table and we all didn’t expect that at all), tapped her shoulder and started flexing his muscles and making the “AHH. OHH” flexing sound. Totally made us LOL and Yongxin was like shocked haha. And the last dare (but most of us didn’t see it cause it was when we were leaving), was this guy giving Liu Jun lao shi a 饺子 and asking her to marry him LOL WTH.

Day 21: 17 November
Short post here cause I’m writing this late. Morning went to 中华人民抗日纪念馆, quite cool, cause it’s all the World War Two stuffs, and the thing that really caught my eye was the part about Nanjing Massacre, cruel to the max luh. After that walked to 户沟桥, all those lions were quite cool, but we didn’t really walk the whole bridge, moreover the scene wasn’t that nice cause the water below the bridge was all dried up. Lunch later was quite horrible, many disliked it. Then was 潭柘寺, not bad either. Went back quite early, and shopped quite a lot around our dormitory, was totally in love with the pirated DVD shop. Gosh the quality is damn damn good. And freaking cheap, 7 yuan per movie dvd, and 10 yuan per drama set gosh man. 11 麻辣 sticks was heavenly.

Day 22: 18 November
文学and 社会lessons as usual. Had manga drawing lessons, which I’m surprised by my ability to copy the picture heh. Then double Dr Ang periods which is quite cool, just love how he can incorporate the song “12 Days of Christmas” into pascal triangle. Think he’s a damn good teacher. First time we had jogging for 早操, which was not bad cause we ran around the school compound instead of around the track. Which is way more interesting and seems less tiring than around the track. Three rounds was manageable. After lunch headed to 天坛, walked to 积水潭 station then took subway to 天坛. Walk was quite long gosh. Got this electrical tour guide thingo so we can explore 天坛 by ourselves, which I think is way better than a whole group of us following a tour guide, cause most of the time I can’t catch what the guide is saying. The last time I went to 天坛 was in lower primary school, and the thing that left me the deepest impression is the 回音壁 (echo wall), cause I remember it working. Tried it with Shichun, and the first time we couldn’t hear each other, but amazingly the second time it worked. Was damn hyper about it. Saw some hwachong guys trying it out in the wrong way and being so amazed that it worked, quite LOL really. Like they were on the same side of the wall, and could see each other clearly, and they shouted across each other and found out that they could hear each other! LOL. Subway back to 积水潭, and the walk back to the school from the station seems so much shorter cause I was singing while walking back, felt rather high heh. Quite hilarious cause Shichun and I were singing Hit Me Baby One More Time when passing by 第二炮 hospital.
Day 23: 19 November
文学and 社会 lessons. 藏族 dance was not bad, moves were catchy and quite easy to learn. Love the beat man. After lunch was CIP! Trip there was not bad, squashed in the small bus, with Yuan Han and his lame jokes and hwach guys laughing and random parts. Then at first the CIP was quite okay, but when we gave out the stars, the kids became picky and everything, and made a lot a lot of noise. And a few minutes later they all assembled outside and we were suppose to perform for them and we didn’t prepare at all. So totally impromptu-ed 朋友and We Will Get There. Quite malu cause their performance was way better than ours. Went back to classroom for a few minutes and had a hard time settling the kids down to continue singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. Wanted to teach them the English part but had no time at all. Short introduction about Singapore and when we drew the Singapore flag on the blackboard someone shouted “日本!” LOL. Oh and the CIP place is outside of 五环, quite cool. Went to 超市 and spent 50+yuan gosh, dinner, then night study.

Day 24: 20 November
Assembled at 8am and headed to 国家大剧院, WDD wanted to bring us to 国民大会堂 but it was closed cause of some activity. 国家大剧院is damn cool lah! Egg in water haha. Love the architecture, both outside and inside. The water thingo is damn cool too, like the reflection of the building is really pretty and being able to go under the water is quite cool. And the concert halls are all super pretty! The free tour around the building is not bad too! There’s this music theme shop in the building which is damn cool, sell almost everything related to music, like piano ruler and drumstick pen. Bought two score books which is mainly for leisure and sight reading. Had free time after that for the whole afternoon. Went to 西单 by subway to shop, had lunch at some 李先生place which sells not bad 牛肉面. Shopped quite a lot, spent over 300yuan in all. Went to 北京图书大厦too, and really love one of the books I bought about some psychological stuffs. Love a bag I bought for 85 yuan, original asking price was 120. And a 12 sided rubik cube for 35 yuan, original asking price 70+ yuan. Quite happy with the stuffs I bought today! Took 22 back and stopped a stop earlier cause there was quite a massive traffic jam and the driver told us to walk instead else the traffic jam would be an hour long gosh. Dinner was cup noodles cause our legs were damn tired from all the walking and the long bus jam. Spent another 60 yuan on DVDs. :D

Day 25: 21 November
北大in the morning, had 交流with ex-Nanyang seniors who were studying in 北大. Their presentation was quite interesting, but most of the facultys they took up were Chinese Literature and International Relations and stuffs like that which I am mostly not interested in it at all. So doubt 北大 will be my choice for university, since it’s more of humanities than math and science. Lunch at 北大was fantastic, one of the best restaurant meals ever. And the campus is quite cool, it’s like more of a town instead of a school campus, with fruit stall, 超市, 小吃shops. Damn cool. After lunch headed to the new 五道口for 2 plus hours of shopping. Got two necklaces and two long shirts, damn happy with it. And it quite matches together! Dinner was at some天津饺子 restaurant again.

Day 26: 22 November
文学and 社会, then aerobics which was damn LOL. Zi-high-ed and was doing the dance moves like some crazy hiphop wannabe, and got video-ed down by Shichun gosh man. Morning assembly, I really like their National Anthem luh, must learn it one day. Lessons, and during lunch Shichun, Gin, Qiuhao and I went to 小卖部and totally spam buy tidbits, and our tidbits completely filled one whole carton haha. Darn cool. Went for 二附中’s 班会, nothing much, just that cause Yonghui joined our class and Yongxin was with us, a lot of people kept staring cause they look super alike, twins mah. Quite amusing to see the way they stare at them. Chiong-ed reflections before dinner, and after dinner went to buy 奶茶and some pens yay! Watched 圆明园movie during night study, it was more like a documentary though. Beginning was a bit boring, but at the end it was quite sad, all those foreign invaders destroying all the precious items. It was quite amusing to see the way some hwach guys slept during the movie lol. Back in dormitory, celebrated Gin, Wanglaoshi and Nicole’s birthday. And watched Yutong did her dares, like Superman down the corridor. And something very interesting: 知识就像内衣,见不到但很重要. EPIC WIN!

Day 27: 23 November
文学lessons only, cause somehow the 社会teacher didn’t come, so free period yay! Finished up quite a lot of our 论文. Lessons after that by hwach teachers were mostly free periods to do our 论文. Running 3 rounds after that, and chionging to lunch right after that. Felt super weird luh, run then eat straight away. And it’s super early lunch gosh. Boarded to bus at 11+, 3 hour journey to 中新天津生态城! Presentation of the Eco-city was done in English, which quite surprised me heh. But I think the place is cool luh, it’s like producing a new city from scratch. And the model of it is damn cool too, plus the water part of the model was really made with real water, I feel damn toot that I had to blow the surface of the water to tell that it’s real water LOL. Another 3 hour bus journey back to Beijing, gosh damn shuang! No night study, had dinner at aidebao western restaurant, not bad, just that it’s a bit expensive and the food takes quite long to be served. The 奶油烤鱼 I ordered was damn huge and big luh. First bite was heavenly, but the more I ate the more ni it gets and got super full and bloated in the end. Gosh. Then 9.30 meeting with WDD and got 200 bucks omg. Feel so much richer suddenly, and that 200 bucks totally got rid of my control over spending this coming week.

Day 28: 24 November
Went to 颐和园. Gosh 5-6 级wind was crazy man, could feel myself being blowned away loads of time, and the wind was so strong that my hands became dry and started to hurt, had gloves fortunately. Became super high because of the strong wind LOL. Love the 苏州街in 颐和园, it looks exactly the same as I remember how it was when I last went to Beijing in lower primary. Love how narrow the pathway was beside the water, but it’s kinda scary at the same time, with all the right angled turns, there’s this fear of accidentally stepping into a gap and into the water gosh. Lunch at MacDonalds, totally splurged my money on Macs. One meal, plus 5 nuggets and macflurry (麦旋风), never ever bought that much food from Macdonalds at a go. The 5 nuggets were freaking cheap, 6 yuan only, in Singapore it’ll most probably cost $6. And gosh the MacFlurry was heavenly, really unlike the vanilla ice-cream and bits of oreo macflurry in Singapore. There’s like additional chocolate fudge in the MacFlurry, damn damn heavenly. Same price as Singapore’s MacFlurry though. Next place was 圆明园. Darn sad place, all the ruins gosh! The interesting part was the human maze, quite cool. Like being at the tower and looking at the rest finding their way through! Other interesting part was seeing the filming of the Chinese movie “建国大业”, super cool luh, watching a filming of a movie real life. Then was Shichun’s poop stucked in the squatting toilet bowl cause she faced the wrong way LOL. And teasing her about it after that was super amusing. First time we had night study in the dormitory, which was quite cool.

Day 29: 25 November
文学lessons were damn useless, like it was telling us all the 名胜古地 of Beijing and what bus number to go there. Can’t believe I actually dozed off in both 文学and 社会 lessons. Liu Jun’s lesson was free time to do lunwen, watched a bit more of Playful Kiss. Running during 课间操. Dr Ang’s lessons were quite cool luh! Pascal Tetrahedral, and was quite proud of myself for being able to expand (a+b+c)^3 in the so-called 高等method of expanding it haha. Miss Ong’s lesson was presenting our Definition of Creative Non-fiction presentation, super impromptu presentation luh. First time watching guys present a project was quite an eye-opener? Wushu lessons later was not bad either. Ran only 1 round cause I didn’t want to get the cannot-feel-nose feeling after running. Kicking was quite cool haha. Night study and first webcamming session with Daddy! Pity Mummy wasn’t at home though.

Day 30: 26 November
文学and 社会 as usual. Art elective was cool, last 藏族dance lesson, and we managed to dance one whole song so it’s quite cool. Love the beat of the dance. No running cause there was an emergency briefing about someone having a contagious disease. CIP after lunch was okay, the kids were really pro in English words luh! Class photo with them at the end, and back to dormitory. Had practice lunwen presentation during night study.

Day 31: 27 November
Macdonalds breakfast at 7am! Got Hotcakes extra value meal, it’s not bad! Only the butter they give is more like creamy cheese than butter. 首都博物馆was a bit boring, cause the exhibits didn’t really appeal to me. Lunch at some giant food court, first time at a food court during this trip. 军事博物馆was optional for Nanyang girls, but Qiuhao, Shichun and I still went cause after all we are in Beijing already, might as well go take a look. The first floor was rather dry, all the 红军 stuffs, but second floor was super cool, all the display of weapons and bombs and stuffs. Then there’s this huge array of tanks and planes, freaking cool. Went back to dormitory at 3 cause we were tired, and was a bit too late to shop, still have to finish reflections. Slept 2 hours in the dormitory with my boots on cause if I take it off it’ll stink the whole room heh. Dinner was cup noodles in dormitory. Then some guys asked if we wanted to join them for karaoke tomorrow cause we asked one of them where the place was yesterday. Super nice of them to ask us luh! So kinda glad that tomorrow’s free whole day activity is settled! Should be quite fun making friends with them so yay!

Day 32: 28 November
MacDonalds breakfast as usual, and met a bunch of guys at the bus stop and headed to 金五星for shopping before KTV. The place is super big and it’s quite empty so yay, but not a lot of nice stuffs though. The toilet was..omg classic China toilets. First time I ever experienced these kind of toilet – no door cubicle toilets. Felt quite traumatized gosh. Especially when there was this middle aged lady who kept staring at me when I was pee-ing. =.= Then was cabbing to the old 五道口 to do more shopping. Love that place man, bought quite a few stuffs there so yay! Cabbed to the KTV place which is near 东直门. Cabbing journey was super funny, with Kaihong’s Exit C and A thingo, and discussing with the driver how it’s impossible for the journey to be 25min long. And hurrying to pay the taxi driver the cab fare haha. KTV place was super high end luh! Damn cool. At first Shichun and I was in a room with a bunch of guys, then we moved to Luther and Yuemin’s room. They were singing mostly Chinese love songs which I don’t know most of them at first, then was Kpop spamming. Funny part was us playing 北京欢迎你and 北京我爱你song, then playing One United Nation right after that. Some hwach guy’s face was totally WTH?! HAHA. Super funny man. Direct bus back to dormitory, and dinner in dormitory.

Day 33: 29 November
Lessons as usual, PE was aerobics which was okay. Had briefing for our last four days in Beijing, ahh so sad luh gosh. Then during Dr Ang’s lesson don’t know why he was damn pissed, like during the eye exercise thing teachers will usually stop talking then to let the students do the eye exercise, but he carried on talking, and at the end of his lessons he slammed our door shut really loudly. Super scary luh. Oh then there was this dorm (Zhang Zhe’s) whose ventilater got short circuit and the toilet caught fire, with someone sick still sleeping inside. Only another guy who is sick in the dormitory next to it noticed cause his smoke detector got activated, but not the dormitory whose toilet caught fire. Quite scary cause Zhang Zhe’s toilet was on fire and he’s still sleeping, and apparently there was quite a lot of smoke. Scary luh. Night study, arranged our tables for tomorrow’s exam which I’m prepared to screw it though it’s open book. And it’s quite cool how Miss Ong allow each class to plan their own table arrangement for the exam, so each class have different arrangement. Night time was chionging 落叶根深reflections and IF Fund reflections, which I managed to finish it so yay!!

Day 34: 30 November
文学and 社会exams! Didn’t mug for it, only flipped through notebook in the morning, but fortunately it’s open book. The exams were manageable , surprisingly. Then our last 课间操, lunch, and then going to 雍和宫, 孔庙 and 国子监. Was quite cool cause apparently the weather there was -1 degree Celsius. Then we saw this lake thingo and there was a layer of ice on it, and could see this semi-submerged water bottle and frozen fish. The fish was super gross luh, like apparently it’s been there for days. Then Shichun and I were throwing dead leaves in the water to test if it’s really frozen haha. 雍和宫was quite small, not very interesting, but the 国子监part was cool. Night study, meeting about the last few days in BSC. And webcamming with both my Dad and Mum finally! Gosh but Dr Ang’s mood was really pissy and he was shouting some hwach guys cause they didn’t finish their work in time. Quite scary.
Day 35: 1 December
Breakfast at Macdonalds, and the guys were super late, way behind meeting time, which kinda made Shichun and Liu Jun lao shi quite pissed. Walked through some Hutong streets, entered a 四合院 but sadly we can’t explore further cause it’s a private place. Went to 恭亲王府, was quite okay. Then walked to 美兰芳’s place of residence, quite cool but the place is rather small. Lunch at some small restaurant. And Liu Jun lao shi is super cute, when she was playing this game on the Iphone, she went like “这个游戏好好玩哦!是谁发明的?” HAHA damn funny, cause who will ask who the inventor of a game is when playing it? Then our group was quite fail.. cause the guides all didn’t guide at all, and Terence the tour guide, he said at least 3 times of “老师我们迷路了!” Then went Beihai Park, which is really big. Damn cool cause some parts of the water is frozen. Then we started throwing small pebbles inside, and it’s really cool cause the sound produced by the pebbles when it skids along the ice is really nice. And Felix found this super super huge rock, and it’s damn funny cause when he threw it, instead of just breaking the ice and skidding along the ice, the rock broke the ice and sank straight into the water, producing a super funny sound. And while we were looking for more pebbles, suddenly all the guys crowded around a particular spot and made really big noises like “OHHHHHH!”, and we girls (Qiuhao, Shichun and I) thought that they found an extremely huge rock or something.. and turned out it was .. a condom in the middle of some grass patch! LOL. Then the guys were niao-ing Liu Jun about how she often zipais, and she defended herself by saying that she only zipai twice, and one of the guys was like “Aiyo 老师你自拍200次,然后选出两个照片!” Or something along that line. Damn funny. And went lao shi was like asking us where we want to go now, Jonathan Han went “铁狮子坟”, like as if it’s a tourist attraction. And someone else said that the 铁狮子is calling us back home. LOLOL. Went off to explore Beihai park more cause the guys were going back already and we didn’t actually covered much places in the park, saw the 9 dragon wall, and I remember so clearly singing it before. Damn cool. Moreover don’t know why there were hardly anybody near it, so it was practically as if the whole attraction was ours. Nighttime was spent walking around our dormitory, taking pictures of shops that we often go to. Ahh, can’t believe tonight will be my last night sleeping in the dormitory, the time feels so short. Oh funny part about nighttime was packing our luggage and weighing it. At first my luggage was 25kg, then I added more stuffs, cause I didn’t pack fully, and it reached all the way to 29kg. Crazy luh. It was the heaviest luggage in BSC, second heaviest was 27kg. So Wensong was like calling me 30kg LOL. Felt like I got highest score or something, didn’t mind going to 邮局, but I won’t have anymore free time and I want to get a haircut before I leave! So I decided to move some heavy stuffs (like books) to my hand carry luggage cause I have hardly anything in it, and I managed to successfully reduce my luggage weight to 23kg. Damn pro luh. Felt super accomplished, so accomplished that I push my luggage and it banged into the door cause it felt so much lighter than the 29kg weight earlier. And people bursting into laughter when it banged lolol. Apparently Leslie was sad that I managed to reduce it cause he wanted me to help his friend or something to post pirated DVDs along with the stuffs I’m posting. Like lol. Super happy tonight, cause of my great accomplishment. :D

Day 36: 2 December
Had cup noodles as breakfast cause I woke up super late, too late to have breakfast in school, well most people woke up late too cause the whole of last night was spent packing luggage. Chionged finish collation of Nanyang pics for laoshi, then had 毕业典礼, watched the best Nanyang and Hwachong lunwen presentation, got graduation certificate, took mass group pics with certificate, and the whole Nanyang BSC batch singing 陪我看日出. Back to 翱翔classroom for party with 2 cakes, then went to our 随班上课 classroom with Shichun during lunch to give them the Singapore souvenirs. Free afternoon, packed bag, laze around in dormitory, took more pictures, then went out with Shichun for a haircut! Freaking cheap luh, like wash + cut + dry for only 20 yuan. Then back to dormitory to drag all our luggages to a holding room in the school, so glad that I could handle all my stuffs without any guy’s help despite being one of those with the most number of hand carry + luggage. Dinner, went to mao mao with Shichun to get yangrouchuan and dayao, and ji liu at a nearby stall, then brought our dinner back to the classroom to eat. Took quite a lot of self-timer pictures in the classroom too! Went back to holding room to get luggage, gosh dragging all those stuffs was horrible, and there were so many luggages that even the aisle of the bus was filled with luggages. Realised our flight was delayed at the airport, and cause of that the airline didn’t charge for our 20+kg overweight group check-in luggages. Walked around the airport shops, then stoned at waiting area cause the shops were all closed. Boarded the airplane and managed to swop seats such that Shichun sat next to me! :D Wanted to watch Despicable Me, but after a few minutes of it I couldn’t resist the temptation to rewatch Inception, cause Shichun was watching it beside me. So I gave up watching Despicable Me and switched to Inception. Watched only halfway though. And Shichun and I got cup noodles on the plane, just like what I did with Yongxin on the plane ride to Beijing! Reached Singapore at 7.35am.
