It;s 31 december 2009.
In a few minutes, it would signal the end of 2009.
I spent my last few days with my family, my great sisters, and of course with the people whom I went with to Taiwan. It was great knowing all of them.
To all my friends, thank you for being my friend, I strongly believed it was fate that brought us together. Thank you for all the help you have once given me. I wish you all the best in the coming year ahead and may you have a good year & health.
Take Care,
with love,
grace :)

Reflection 2009
This is the first time ever, I've done a serious reflection.
The year 2009, ups and downs were plenty, happiness and sadness evolved all around me.
In a few days time (I wrote this post for a few days alr.), 2010 would be here, and that's goodbye 2009.
In the year 2009,
January
12th Jan, the day I got my results. Both happiness and sadness surge over me. I was both glad and sad. The month I stopped worked. I was happy because it was the first job I've ever done in my whole life.
February
2nd Feb, I stepped into JJC. A whole new change, a whole new environment, everything was so new to me. When I first saw my adminOG, I was glad, elated to see familiar faces from my school. Andy&Mildred were my OGLs, and they worked hard to make us blend into the JJ family, adapt to the new surrounding. And then many things happened to my adminOG, everyone wanted a change of combi, everyone wanted to drop out of LEP. Madness roared in our adminOG. But was finally glad that everything was solved. Chose my subject combination and got into a language class. In fact, it was sucky. Really sucky. Because it was an all-china class. There were only 6 Singaporean out of 22 people. We were left out. We were discriminated. I thought life in JJ was going to be hell. Especially during Orientation, everyone had fun. I didn't. Everyone played hard. I didn't. We had to endure their naggings, had to endure their complains, had to endure their ungentlemenness. I'll never forget how they ruined it. I had loads of fun in my Sec Sch days, esp camps. I came from a UG, so I knew how fun it was to have camps, how fun it was to run camps, how fun it was to be a camper. Also, I knew how tiring it was to plan a camp, how tiring it was to run a camp, how tiring it was to conduct a camp. Thus, I was sad when they didn't participate, because I know in camps, what is important is not how the people run camps, but how we participate. A camp will only be successful when we participate, be high, and be happy over it. But we didn't. I was sad. I was angry.
However, since a coin has 2 flip sides, think about in another way. We are actually fortunate to have known each other. For I strongly it was fate that brought us together, that allow us to be friends and even classmates. I mean China is big, and all of my classmates come from different parts of china. Thus, it is fate that actually brought them from different parts of china to come together and know each other in a country call Singapore. And also, I was glad that it was fate that allow me to know them. To know that they come from different parts of china, to let me see what different parts of china is about, how their characters are about. Thus, even though i dislike them, but hey, just remember: Fate brought us together, to let us know one another. So we should cherish each other because each and everyone is different. From Singapore and from China. But CHina is big, so be glad that you actually knew someone from another part :)
March
There was a cold war between the LEP teachers and us. We hated the chinese HOD department. I'll also never forget how she forced me to take H1 Chinese. And also, it was the time where common test came. Life as a JC student was into full force. Rest was never in our mind. Time was never enough for us. Stress was piling up on us, homework too. It was horrible, horrendous.
Also, it was my virgin trip to China. 13th-26th March. The first time I went to Beijing & Xi'an. My first trip without my family. It was 'The First' to me in everything. Whatever you could name, it was my first. And yet, it suck. The trip suck totally. Whatever you could think of, it suck. Totally. The company, the food, the environment, the teachers.
But also, it was my birthday month! My clique celebrated it with me, they gave me surprise. I was touched.
April
It was the same. Rest was never in our mind. Time was never enough for us. Stress was piling up on us, homework too. It was horrible, horrendous. In a blink of an eye, I was already in JC for 2 mths. Time passes really fast. And it was the time I had a change of CCA. After being in UG for 4 years, all of a sudden, there was no Speech Day, no National Day etc. Parades were the ones that I missed most. I change my CCA into interact club, CSL. I passed the interview and got to fulfil my wishes. I got to volunteer as much as I want. It was fun during my cca. I never regret. Poly started and my clique started their courses too.
May
It was still the same, exams, exams and exams. And I signed up for service learning with MOE. To south view pri sch to try teaching students in chinese. It was quite fun, to me. I enjoyed.
But exams were terrible. I failed badly. I suck in econs, I suck in CLL. I never passed any SINGLE test in econs, any SINGLE test in CLL. I thought I was going to be retained. It was tiring, mentally.
June
A month of holiday. Another special month for me to remember. Here, during this month, I met loads of niceeeeeeeeeee people. 03-08June, I went for Line Camp 2, to Medan, Indonesia. Everything was totally opposite from china. I had real fun, I didn't know what boring was at that time, I didn't know what loneliness was at that time. I only know it was fun. In my mind, I could really spell out fun. I missed those times.
July
Mid-year. It was still the same. Stress stress and stress. Exams exams and exams. It was tiring. I wanted to give up totally. Lectures were horrible, they were killing me. I could not catch up at all. And all in my mind was chinese thesis. PW. On the other hand, relationship with my class was getting better. After the class BBQ, at least they changed. They managed to adapt to the environment and majority of them were actuallly quite nice! I'm glad at least they were willing to change, willing to accept what our environment was about. And that feeling was nice! :)
August
I didnt know what fun was then. Enjoyment, fun, happiness, shoppings. These were not in my mind. Not even rest. In my mind, it was just studies studies and studies. Of course, with teachers telling you "Promos is in a month time, do it or retain."
September
Promos period. Horrible. Gave up totally in CLL. I couldn't attempt any of the questions. I had to try my luck.
October
Promos ended, but not studies. OP rehearsals came to find us. We had to have PW every single free time we had. But at least, I could take a breather.
November
It was the fun time again. Everything ended, finally. Playtime was coming to find me. I went on a CIP trip with CSLs and IS. To yunnan, china, from the 20th-27th November. It was the same feeling I when I went Medan. Everything was fun. Food, environment, company. Anything you list out, it was fun! But also, it was my first time experience. The sch's toilet. My first time ever in my 17 years of life trying their toilet. Alright, shall not disgust it in this post. It was just....(Try it yourself)
December
Everything went in gist. My J1 life was over. It was the end of 2009. I went on LEP@Taiwan from 05-19thDec. Again, the experience was same as Medan&Yunnan. Company, environment, people. Loads and loads of fun. I totally enjoy it. I know I will never get to have this kind of life again. JC life is tough, but you can make it exciting if you want, just like how I make mine exciting. I met loads of new people, I enjoy loads of the trip I went. I was thankful.
So in summary,
2009 was an amazing year for me. Franksly speaking, I had everything I wanted. I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. In terms of academics, environment, friends, holidays.
Satisfaction was right in front of me.
Studies
It was the year I got my O level results.
It was the year I had a whole new challenge.
It was the year I changed my mindset. I got into JC. Never in my life I will get myself into a JC. I was actually aiming poly throughout my secondary school life. I was hoping for a business course.
Yet, I proved others wrong, I challenged myself. I got into JC. And worse, I took the subject combination which many thought that only crazy people would take. :/
However, I worked hard. Although results doesn't show yet, at least it motivated me somehow. I felt inspired. I wanted to work even harder. Truthfully, I made many setbacks. I wanted to give up. I mean, as a Singaporean, who would ever catch up with those pace of the china students who have actually went through all these back in their hometown? To them, it was a revision. But to us, it was new. Everything N.E.W. What could we do? In chinese lessons, we have to follow them, we have to CATCH UP with them. We cannot let them be restless. We have to learn it ourselves by hook or by crook. Yet in GP lessons, we also have to follow them. We have to SLOW DOWN for them. We have to help them. I do not deny that my GP is good, but what's the point of slowing down for them when they themselves do not even help themselves? Life's unfair I know. What to do? In the end, I had to help myself again and again.
At least, in terms of academics, I met many nice teachers who were willing to help me. They know it is tough, they know it wasn't easy. And they choose to help me. For that, I thank you. I will continue to work harder because next year will be even tougher.
Friends
Like I've said, I've made many friends this year:D
But to be true, I hate my class initially, this is reflection, so I do not want to mention much about my class. I mean, compared to other friends who come from china, it is really heaven & earth. They are so open, so friendly, so much more gentlemen. But why are my class like this? Lazy, dirty, selfish, mean. Yes, I hate them at times, or rather, many times. I rather have those friends I made in Yunnan to be my friends! :(
Alright enough said about them. I've made many many wonderful friends this year! :)
I'm happy with making new friends, because I'm sociable! Hehe :)
From the beginning, I've made friends with my classmates! :)
To medan, I know F2 and I move on to knowing everyone who went medan. People like Ariel, Zhenghao, Fadli, Jason, Jieting, Benedict, Junjie, Yaojun, JingRong... ... Many many more! They all are so wonderful!
I like Jieting's clique especially. They are so friendly, so sociable. I think their clique consist of Ariel, her, Colin, Pitsoon, Jayne? And yet I know every single one of them, except for Jayne. But she's still so friendly! Still say hi to me when I went to talk to either one of their clique. I mean, which clique can still bond with their friend's friend so sociably? I think her clique is especially fun to be with! :)
And also, I've made friends from other school like hwachong, temasek, nanyang, dunman high.
And not forgetting, I've made many many friends who came from china! Hopefully next time when I visit china, they will bring me around their hometown! :)
Holidays
This year was a great one. An almost perfect one. I was very lucky. Lucky enough to go on holiday trips. This year alone, I went to 4 trips. You can say that I'm rich or what, but I don't care. Because I know I'm not. From the not-so-good virgin trip alone w/o my family to Beijing&Xi'an to the very fierce-and-torturing-but-fun trip to Medan, Indonesia then to the CIP trip where I saw loads of friends with their true emotions, where guys cried, people cry in Yunnan and lastly to the LEP trip in Taiwan.
Beijing&Xi'an and Taiwan was 1/2month trip while Medan & Yunnan was only a week. From this 4 trips, my memories of Beijing&Xi'an was the most vague trip. So I'll skip this one. For the other 3 trips, I had fun. Real fun. Yet, in terms of companies, I love the Medan trip. We bonded till now, I'm glad. We helped each other, we had each other. We got scolded together, we played together, we had fun together. In terms of friendship, I had Yunnan. I made new friends, I made new friends who gave me new perspective of what friends from other countries actually do. I totally changed my perception. I was glad I wasn't stereotyping anymore. I was closer to them. Perhaps it was only a few of them, but I was glad new friendship was forged.
And through this taiwan trip, i had the most impact, maybe it was because I compared this to the tour guide in Beijing&Xi'an because Yunnan&Medan had no tour guide. But I like the tour guide in Taiwan especially. Perhaps many of them were in their twenties, there was no generation gap. So I was sad when I had to leave them. In fact, I cried. I was sad. Very sad. I had hangover badly.
And now, in a few days 2009 in going to end. Its going into closure. Its going into history.
What will 2010 store for me? I strongly believed in fate, and I know 2010 is going to be a better year. Though it will be an important year, a year with ups and downs, with pressure faced by many, I know I will overcome everything. For I have my friends with me. For I know they will be my guiding light, guiding me to the path where it is right. I love my friends. And I know my 18th year will be a blast one, a fruitful one, just like how 2009 was a wonderful, an almost perfect year for me. :)
The year 2009, ups and downs were plenty, happiness and sadness evolved all around me.
In a few days time (I wrote this post for a few days alr.), 2010 would be here, and that's goodbye 2009.

Taiwan Hangover
Oh man, I'm still so in the midst of hangover! :(
I really really really miss the trip a lot!
I so so so so want to go back to taiwan after my As. I'm going to persuade my parents. Really.
During these 15 days, I learnt a lot. Things that will never be found in the textbook.
I just want to thank all these people:-
虽然我的华语没有你们那么好，但是我已经尝试着去努力。
有人说，时间会冲淡一切。
有人说，虽然如此，但是我们之间的友谊仍然不会。
我想念台湾。
我想念你们。
我想念所有的一切。
小玲姐姐
谢谢你，因为有了你，我们的行程才会那么的顺顺利利。虽然你看起来温柔可爱，但是我发现你也有疯狂的一面哦！哈哈！千千万万记得要记住我。我们的友谊并不是一个结束，而是一个开始。我会永远记住你的。
仔仔
你的冷笑话。你的心肠那么的硬。但是，你的最后感言感动了我。谢谢你。你教了我们很多东西。你让我看到了台湾美丽的一面，你让我对台湾有了更深刻你印象。以后到了台湾，记得要带我到其他地方玩哦！
孤单AKA寂寞
你让我看到了台湾晚上美丽的一夜。谢谢你陪伴了我们。虽然你比较迟才来，但是你已成为了我们的一份子。若还有机会到台湾，记得一定要带我去看星星！最好看到流星雨！哈哈！
红豆姐姐
WonderGirls 的一份子！我爱你。谢谢你。我一定会记住你的。你总是在催我们要走快一点，不要我们脱队，就像我们的姐姐一样，总是在后面保护着我们，关心着我们。你的关心我们都记在心里。谢谢！
陈美玲老师
唐佑彬老师
Thank You for taking care of us during this trip. Throughout the trips I've attended this year, I can say out loud that you are the most understanding teachers I've ever met. Though we are very noisy in the hostel, singing out loudly in the bus, you did not barge in and stop us. You let us do whatever we want, because you know that this is the lifestyle that we teenagers are having. Thank You.
Elaine Mah Ke Yun
台湾之星！Not to forget the very forgetful and blur blur! I've thought I got friends who are blur enough, but you are blur-er than them! Haha. Sitting in front of me in the bus, and always being bulllied. Thank you for the blurness you brought to us during the trip to taiwan. It sure made us laughed. Hehe. Stay in touch alright. :)
Leong Xiu Han
The one who sat in front of me in the bus too! Cheerful & lively girl! Thank you for the medicine that you brought so that people would not 晕车！All the best! :)

"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of eachother everywhere. " - Tim Mcgraw
Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. I just hope one day, on the streets, we will not end up as strangers, we will not end up as hi-bye friends.
Through these 15 days, we have found a nickname for each other, we have learn to call ourselves through our nicknames. All these proved the deep friendship ties we have forged with one another. Friendship can sometimes end in love, but love in friendship, never.
For I know that memories last forever, never do they die. With that, my friends, I end off with a quote by Lugwig Van Beethoven "Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours."
With that, I end off here.
Take Care everyone!
WIth love,
grace:)
I really really really miss the trip a lot!
I so so so so want to go back to taiwan after my As. I'm going to persuade my parents. Really.
During these 15 days, I learnt a lot. Things that will never be found in the textbook.
I just want to thank all these people:-
虽然我的华语没有你们那么好，但是我已经尝试着去努力。
有人说，时间会冲淡一切。
有人说，虽然如此，但是我们之间的友谊仍然不会。
我想念台湾。
我想念你们。
我想念所有的一切。
小玲姐姐
谢谢你，因为有了你，我们的行程才会那么的顺顺利利。虽然你看起来温柔可爱，但是我发现你也有疯狂的一面哦！哈哈！千千万万记得要记住我。我们的友谊并不是一个结束，而是一个开始。我会永远记住你的。
仔仔
你的冷笑话。你的心肠那么的硬。但是，你的最后感言感动了我。谢谢你。你教了我们很多东西。你让我看到了台湾美丽的一面，你让我对台湾有了更深刻你印象。以后到了台湾，记得要带我到其他地方玩哦！
孤单AKA寂寞
你让我看到了台湾晚上美丽的一夜。谢谢你陪伴了我们。虽然你比较迟才来，但是你已成为了我们的一份子。若还有机会到台湾，记得一定要带我去看星星！最好看到流星雨！哈哈！
红豆姐姐
WonderGirls 的一份子！我爱你。谢谢你。我一定会记住你的。你总是在催我们要走快一点，不要我们脱队，就像我们的姐姐一样，总是在后面保护着我们，关心着我们。你的关心我们都记在心里。谢谢！
陈美玲老师
唐佑彬老师
Thank You for taking care of us during this trip. Throughout the trips I've attended this year, I can say out loud that you are the most understanding teachers I've ever met. Though we are very noisy in the hostel, singing out loudly in the bus, you did not barge in and stop us. You let us do whatever we want, because you know that this is the lifestyle that we teenagers are having. Thank You.
Elaine Mah Ke Yun
台湾之星！Not to forget the very forgetful and blur blur! I've thought I got friends who are blur enough, but you are blur-er than them! Haha. Sitting in front of me in the bus, and always being bulllied.

Final decision.
I've decided to quit ogl. I know I once wrote all these. I know I sound ironic.
"And once again, I hesitated to be or not to be an OGL. But i've already made up my mind.
If others can, why can't I?
I should learn to cope with myself. Learn it.
I read an exerpt from my blog, and it made me set on the decision.
I feel that life is a torture now, to be surrounded by all muggers, to be facing all the stress and compeition! Life has to go on, I know. But as life go on, I too want my friendship to go on. I don't want to grow up next time, thinking back that studies have made my friendship to be broken. I don't want studies to be that factor that stops me and my friends from meeting each other again.
So now, I don't want studies to be the factor that once again stops me from being an OGL.
I do want to be an OGL, who doesn't want?
Although I dislike the way they run camps, but we have to adapt to the way people do things, we cannot force people to move on in our way. Change for the better, not for the worse. So if I do not be an OGL, I know I will regret. Therefore, I do not want the regretness to lie within me for the rest of my life.
I want to look back next time and tell myself that my youth years has been a wonderful one.
From the camps to the overseas trip to being an OGL, I've never regretted all these while. Now, I will make the difference. Likewise, I dont want studies to be the factor that ruin my friendship, that ruin my days where I had fun. I will want to adapt, and I will learn. I don't want studies to once again be that factor that because of studies, I cannot do other things.
Think again: If others can, why can't I?"
This was what I wrote then.
But now, I've matured. I've thought long enough. I've thought properly, seriously, deeply. Thought of the pros and cons.
And now I've come to a conclusion:
I know that I cannot use studies as an excuse because there is something known as time management.
Yahuan told me to ask myself 2 qns
1. "Can I manage?"
2. "Can I live without the computer?"
If yes to both answer, continue being an OGL.
If I have to use some time to answer yes/no, it means I have some concern and I have to think again if it is worth to be an OGL.
And I asked myself,
Firstly, what is the ultimate aim that I'm going to benefit from becoming an OGL? Is it only friendship? But how many of these friends I'm going to meet are just hi-bye friends? Friends I have many, but true friends, min one is enough. And I have val. And maybe pq.yl.xh.yh.
Or is it leadership? But if I have the potential, I do not need to wait till becoming an OGL to showcase it right?
Secondly, can i manage everything that i have on hand, putting in 200% effort in whatever I do? I have a lot of things on hand. I just do not want to say.
Thirdly, even if I can manage without the computer, can I REALLY do it?
Fourthly, do I want to be an OGL in the first place? Frankly speaking, I really do not want to. The reason why I signed up initially is because of val. She wanted and so I decided to go along with her. Now that she is not an OGL, I don't find the motivation because my passion wasn't there in the first place. I continued because I wanted to sort of fulfil her wish (sounds wrong I know), but now, I don't find it anymore. Because, we don't care.
Well, the answer is obvious enough.
I won't regret. Really.
Take Care everyone.
With love,
Grace :)

Back!
I'm back from taiwan.
It was fun, really.
No words can describe.
All the best part of the memories are unphoto-graphed because they are deeply etched in my mind. It was touching. I cried, for the first time I went overseas throughout my 4 trips this year.
My first impression of Taiwan - Fabulous! :)
It was really heartwarming.
十五天的相处 一輩子的痕迹，美好的回忆。
我只想告诉你们：
如果你真的累了，就放慢脚步，等待你那追上来的灵魂，或是回想起我们曾经拥有过的美好回忆。
你可能只是我人生中的过客，但是你的出现已经对我的人生做出了改变。
我想念台湾，我想念你们，我想念所有的一切。
希望我们有缘再见。
谢谢你们。
就像Henry所说的：歡笑后的那陣寧靜，格外的淒涼。我希望，15天的文化交流只是僅僅寫上逗號。何時再來part 2 呢？
Take Care everyone!
With love,
Grace:)

Pain!
Yay! Good news! :)
I'm gonna remove braces soon!
Yay! :)
Well, it can't be removed by christmas cause I won't be in Singapore and by the time I come back, my dentist is overseas too. So, he said hopefully before CNY.
But yeah, it's doesnt make much difference to me because I'm sort of used to it alr.
Just hope everything will be done before I graduate :P
&& today's treatment was super painful! Any negative words you can describe! I was on the verge of crying. Omgxz, it was totally ... ... I'm loss for words, worse than extraction I guess? Omg! ><
Nvm, it will be worth it I guess?
But chingyee said the aftermath would be more tiring. Well, I guess so, since I'm so used to it. Having to wear retainers will make me faint and it's like I've to get use to it all over again. On the other hand, I'm quite happy I wore braces? Nice expriement! So for this upcoming trip, I'm gonna spam all my pics with braces. HAHA. Okay. I'm mad I know.
But yeah, hopefully everything done before CNY, or even better, by the next treatment! Yeah! :)
Take Care everyone!

Friendship
Well, most people are back to their homeland alr.
Was chatting with Yifan just now and he seems excited that he's back at home. Felt glad for them too. :)
Nothing much to post today, just that in less than a week's time, I'll be in taiwan. This trip to taiwan doesn't seem so exciting :/
Just hope that I'll have fun too! :)
Just a note to tell everyone:
Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
Hope that our friendship shall not be blurred and may our friendship bonds together, forever. :D
Take Care everyone!
With love,
Grace :)

Yunnan OICP trip 2009! <3
I'm back lovelies! :)
Went to Yunnan for OCIP from 20th to 26th November 2009.
The trip there was fun ttm.
Well, actually every trip has its own wonderful memories, the people there, the weather, the surrounding, each and everyone of us makes the trip successful.
Just like the days where I went Beijing, medan for line camp and now yunnan for CIP.
Each trip has its own wonderful memories.
Needless to say, the trip this time round was wonderful too!
Yup, my impression of them have changed and I'm glad too! I love the people who made this trip possible.
To all those who are going back to their hometown, bon voyage! And have fun! :D
Alright, now reality sets in, the harsh reality is back again.
Once again, we are all back into the fast pace life in Singapore.
In a few days, I'll be in Taiwan, to experience a whole new environment, to let myself immerse into a new change. Let me get adapted into the life of a new person.
And once again, I hesitated to be or not to be an OGL. But i've already made up my mind.
If others can, why can't I?
I should learn to cope with myself. Learn it.
I read an exerpt from my blog, and it made me set on the decision.

Worried.
The title says it all.
I've many things to do, but I've got so little time.
How? D:
I'm afraid, afraid I can't live up to his expectation, afraid I'll break down, afraid that I can't perform up to my expectation.
I'm really afraid, afraid that I'll disappoint you again & again.
I don't want this to carry on, but what can I do?
One year of my JC life has passed.
I still remember the times where I first got to know I got into my first choice, elated? Well maybe not.
Yet, I still hung on to hope, hoping that I'll do well.
But as the term goes on, I realised that I'm only deceiving myself.
I don't know where the path lies in me.
But I want to do well.
Yet I know I'm only procrastinating.
___________________________________________________________
Sorry for the emo-ish post.
On a happier moments,
met my mom today after my dental appt since I can't get to lunch with him.
Well, it's alright, I'm not even angry nor petty :)
There's still chance yea? :)
And anyway, I was late for my appt! 20min -.-
All because of the stupid 99 and 185 that pushed back all my plans.
Stupid SBS buses. F you.
Once, twice, I can accept, but it's always happening. It makes once pissed off.
And so my dentist thought I wasn't coming but thank god, he scrap that thought off.
Yeah, treatment today was rather painful. Hopefully I can take off my braces next year way before prom, that is, if I promote successfully :/
God, bless me please. Really.
Take Care everyone!
With love,
Grace :)

Busy.Tired.Negative Thoughts.
Well, it's really been a long time since I last blogged.
It's not that I don't want to come here blogging, it's just that I don't know where to start from.
There are so many things in my mind, and things have just come and go. In a blink of an eye.
Term has already ended for us.
But to be exact, we don't have any holidays at all.
Like I've mentioned, my holidays are already fully packed.
Needless to say homework, revision. All these aren't even considered into the fully packed holidays.
Sometimes, somehow, I wonder, if I've made the right decision?
To accept or not? I really don't know.
I really don't know if it is the best that I want, sometimes I just wonder if I've made the right choice, the right decision?
Well, many positive things have happened though, but it all went too fast.
Jedan gathering was one of the recent things that have happened.
It was the most memorable camp that I've ever gone through in my whole entire life.
The people I knew didn't change, some changed, some remained.
However, how long can this go on?
On a lighter note,
Yunnan CIP trip is coming. Tons of things arent done yet.
So is my OP.
For now, I've to really concentrate on my OP and also my homework.
I've to finish all my homework by hook or by crook before I leave for China.
Someone, please drag me out to study.
I need motivation.
I need to get some life back!
Zzz.
PS, I wanted this to be a happy post, but somehow, somewhat, I couldn't bring myself to write it into a happy ending.
I'm feeling nostalgic now...
Take Care everyone.!
With love,
Grace :)

In a blink of an eye...
Well, many things have happened recently.
Good ones, bad ones.
I don't even know which to start with.
I'm really tired of everything, how I wish everything will just stop here and then I can take a good rest.
However, sometimes when I feel sick and tired of everything, I'll tell myself, what I'm facing now is only a very minimal of what the others in the 3rd world country are facing. The problems that I have now is what I can control, but to the rest, they are much worse off than me. Sigh.
Overcome to become.
How I wish I can do that.
Anw, my Nov and Dec are alr almost fully booked. I'm so dead. Booked not for studies, but for other activities. I don't even have the time for my friends, let alone studies. Time, I need you seriously. So people, hurry, book a date with me now before I have no time for you all.
Sigh Sigh Sigh.
I want to meet these peoeple personally during my nov & dec hols:-
1. You
2. Jie meis
3. Ives
4. 8 girls in TG
5. Sec sch friends
6. JJ friends
7. Medan people
8. Loads more...
So hurry, find me now and book with me a time to catch up! haha! :)
Take Care everyone!

Sad.Stress.Disappointed.
I'm taking not one, not two, but many blows. :(
I'm really tired of everything.
I just want to cry out loud.
I've had enough.
Why doesn't effort pay off?
I'm just confuse.
Why?
I hate him.
I hate her.
I hate you.
I hate them
And I hate myself even more.
Seriously.

Final race! :)
Post 375 :D
Yay, I'm finally end with exams! But that's for the time being.
Well, I feel kind of pessimistic here.
When everyone is happy over how exams are ending alr, I was thinking otherwise.
To me, ending exams means a new beginning. It signifies another round of battle :(
Exams are over, but what is worse to come is the results. Sigh.
Oh well, better be optimistic, looking forward to my date with Yanshin tmr! Yayness! :)
Take Care everyone!

Mid Autumn Festival :)
Today is Mid Autumn Festival, nothing much too.
My house below is very noisy, little kids are playing with candles, lanterns.
It reminded me of the times when I was young, yearly, I would be below joining these adorable kids too...
It sounds as though I've aged! Tsk! :(
Anyway, it's the last lap of Promos.
Hopefully, everything will be over.
What I wish for will be fulfilled and I promised to work hard.
& I'm worried over something right now.
To say or not to say? To ask or not to ask? To believe or not to believe? To step back or not to step back? To be brave or not to be brave?
Tons of questions are running through at the back of my mind that it gives me headache! :(
Alright, I'll stop here for now.
Till then, take care!
With love,
Grace :)

A new start, A new beginning:)
Wow, it's been a longlong time since I blogged.
Revamped my whole blog :)
Well, many many things happen over these times that I was away.
Happy ones, sad ones, angry ones. All the emotions that you can think of :)
Now it's the promos period, and I swear, this is so much worse than Os. I don't know why and don't ask me why.
Perhaps maybe after I graduated for JC, I'll look back and then I'll say hey! JC life was actually easy peasy. And I hope this really come true so pray for me alright? :)
Anw, during this whole promos period, I think I gradually sank into depression, got myself stress up. I don't know what makes me so stress up.
Stress and emo hormones are all surrounding me everyday.
But I will learn to move on. I don't want this new post of mine to be emo! :)
Nevertheless, I want to start a brand new life, I want to promote, hopefully, give me a chance. I'll work hard during the hols :)
In the meanwhile, take care everyone :)
With love,
grace :)
P/s Our friendship is now on the rocks, it's obvious that we are drifting apart from each other, you know who you are.

All-in-One :D
Post 372 :D
Haha, my progres is really slowww! :/
Alright, why did I post my title as All-in-One?
Mainly, gonna write my post today into 3 main sections.
1. CSL - Hospice Visit to St. Joseph's Home (:
2. Sisters annual outing on National Dal :D:D:D:D
3. F2 outing! (:
Alright, let's go to the lighter side first!
1. F2 outing.
It was really lots of fun. 1st outing headed to Sentosa, 2nd outing headed to Mind's Cafe.
Although the 2nd outing wasn't full strength too (it was lesser than the 1st outing strenghth), but at least everyone had fun (even though some may objected to Mind's Cafe initially)!
With Fadli and his jokes etcetc, the whole session with them was indeed fun! (:
We got bonded reallly close only through the planning session time before heading to Medan and got closer as we became more united during the 6D5N medan trip.
Those bonding in the bus with the PCs, the accompanient, eating together as a family, playing together as one to the trip to the theme park, it was unforgettable.
My dear F2, I hope the bond with us stays on. Even as we move on in our life, I hope that we will continue to greet each other. Afterall, a hi-bye is better than being strangers, not greeting each other, as we passed by.
2. Sisters annual outing on National Day :D
It was fun ttm! Altho Jas was sick and wasn't there, at least we still had a lil of fun. But w/o her, it wasn't really complete D:
Anw, headed to marina sq to join in the fun with the rest during National Day. Before that, headeed to vivo to eat dim sum with shin&angie first. Yummy! Thanks to ching recommendation though she herself didn't went to eat. Haha (:
After that the cinema was fully packed. Marina Sq too. Saw Kbox, was thinking that since it was so biggggggggggggggggg, there should be more than enough to find another room to accomodate us. Hhaa. Hence, luck was on our side! (:
Got into one of the rooms, High like mad, sang like mad. hahah! All the wayyyy till 8pm when our session was supposed to end, but no one chased us out. Till 815pm, when still no one chased us out, we got out ourselves because we wanted to catch the fireworks. But we were a lill too late.
Rushed to pay the bill, ran like mad to the entrance of marina sq, but still we missed the fireworks. Only got t see that last few second of it D: let us go watch again nxt yr! :D
Then after finally the long walkkkkkkk and many road blocks, we got over to Esplanade, settle down for Hagaan Daz to satisfy our cravings for ice-cream. Some minor misunderstanding happened between us and the waitress. But still, we had fun!
Camwhore-d outside Esplanade there, and then head home!
Though it was the first yr, it was still quite successful! :D I believed there are still many many more to come! :D
3. CSL - Hospice visit @ St. Joseph's Home
2nd wk there = Meaningful.
Fed the patients there = Patience needed.
Wheel-ed the patients into their room = Communication barrier needed to be overcome.
Interacted with them = Made me reflected on what life is.
Sang to them = Realised that expressions doesn't indicate anything. It's the heart that we touched them.
Many patients there looked normal, looked healthy to me.
Interacted with one lady today. She had stroke for 2yrs alr. Seeing her recovering made me heaved a sigh of relief. She told me that one of the patient there (he looked more of a volunteer to me! I thought he was helping them out because he was interacting with them too and he was walking!) actually had lung cancer and he has only 3-6mths to live. This was so ___! he didn't looked sick to me, he didn't looked like he needed treatment. That;s why, looks are so deceiving.
Just a few more mths to go. i can't imagine......
Grace brace up! Learned to cope with your emotions!
Ohmy ohmy, going there was really really wonderful! I was glad that I chose this CCA. It was truly what I wanted. It was what I had been wanting all along. Hope that this will continue in me and I won't quit halfway. Perserverance is the key to success! :D
Long post today! :D

Really?
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
Hmm, do you agree? Haha.

Guilty! D:
Post 365 :D
Alright, why did I named this post as guilty?
Well, I was guilty about a number of things.....D:
1. Studies:
- Took more than 20 hours to complete a single CSC SBQ. Alright, though it was difficult, but I think I wasted too much time in it!
- Everyone in my sch is mugging like mad now, while I am still like slacking. I admit being in lang stream isn't that stressing as the sci stream, but still, I should buck up and stop slacking like mad.
- Moving on to GP, I think I'm quite weak in it. Compared to those china students, I'm supposed to be better than them, but it doesn't show in the case here. What does this means? Stop being so slack and buck up!
- Well, I should be revising every night now and here I am blogging, facebking etc etc. How am I going to score good grades? Everyone is not going online while I am! Omgxzx!And also, they said JC is one of the toughest in your life and here I am being so slack and doesn't treat it like important or what! Slap yourself grace! >:D
2. Piano:
- Someone once said, being a pianist, you should practice 3 hours daily, but me? I'm neither here nor there.
- Went youtubing just now, and seeing those people played those really nice songs, I ought to be ashamed of myself. I can't even memorize those scores and they can. I can't even play such simple songs and they can!
- Do I even deserve to be playing the piano? Or am I giving myself too much stress? >:D
Random things:
1. Those people had their math test today and it was pretty easy to them. It seems weird. Though I wasn't the one taking, but I felt scared for them too! Esp the medan trip ppl! And when they said is was do-able, and it was easy, I was heaving a sigh of relief for them and was glad they could attempt those questions!
2. I've been trying hard to be nice to them! :D
3. Studies are getting harder, I'm getting sadder each day D:
4. I've tons of test nxt wk everyday from tue to fri. How I wish nxt wk would pass quickly D:
-Goodbye!
Tkcare! :D

Seriousness! 认真
Well, the last week of the holiday has come to an end. Frankly speaking, what have I done over the past one month in June?
2 weeks has taken up due to camps, 1 week for meet-ups and the last week of completing my homework only. Not even say revision.
This is bad! There's no holidays at all! D:
It doesn't even look like one!D:
-----------
But in the past 1/2 a yr, my life in JC was a tough one.
From the school I've chosen, from the subj combination I've chosen, and to the class I've made.
In general, my life has been full of ups and downs.
People has been criticising about the subj combi, they felt that I wasn't ready for it, and they were shock that I would be willing to take this course and compete with people from ahem, china, to be true. And the class that I've gone into, majority of them are from China.
Frankly, in my whole 16 yrs of life, my batch hasn't even met with such high calibre of students.
All of a sudden, wanting me to make friends with them was ridiculous, in fact, I was shock. I was unable to accept it for a moment. Thus, we stick with each other only.
However, since Line camp, it made me loosen up my thinking. It gave me some thorough thoughts and make me change into a more mature person.
I've learned to be more open up, to accept changes given to us and to adapt our life. I've learn that you should not force people to change, but instead, you should change for the others, to accomodate to them, and that is what I will do.
However, one thing I won't give in is the attitude they give. I'll change for them, but they of course have to change for us. I'll be hardworking like those people,! I'll be serious because i want to prove to everyone that nothing can't be accomplish. We girls will and shall do it! :D
On the other hand, I kept thinking about yanshin, angie, jas, and ching.
Throughout this june hol, i've not even seen jas, much less talk to her!
Is our friendship getting worse? Are we separating from each other alr?
We promise each other that we will meet up every year, will we be able so hold it for long?
Come to think of that, have I really forgotten my sec sch life? Have I actually move on?
To adapt into jc life? I think I'm still living in self-denial!
Memories are killing me, it is fading away from me! I don't want that to happen!
We all know that we all like to live in the past, those happy times, who doesn't!? Perhaps the now, the stress that we are all facing makes us want to escape back to the past, but time has made us moved on. I feel that though time has made us move on, it is us that do not want to move on, we want to continue living in our own happy world.! My life in Sec Sch has been a good one, with my clique being close to me, perhaps i;ve not cherish that happy moments thus i am not satisfied with myself now. Till today, we have all chosen a new route, a route which none of us are going through together. We are fighting for each of our own life, to get a place into the uni. With this, I am very afraid that during our long route, we have forgotten each other, we have lost contact with each other, even if we meet just outside, it would be a simple hi-bye. How many of us can actually find a place and sit down and chat into the wee hours? Not now I guess. I feel that life is a torture now, to be surrounded by all muggers, to be facing all the stress and compeition! Life has to go on, I know. But as life I go on, I too want my friendship to go on. I don't want to grow up next time, thinking back that studies have made my friendship to be broken. I don't want studies to be that factor that stops me and my friends from meeting each other again. I want to meet up with all of you girls. I want to be in contact with you all. But will time allow us to meet up? Will time sustain our friendship with each other. 10 years down the road, will we still be as close as last time? I hope we will. For I know that those memories are the ones that are closest to us, it is the most cherishable things in life, money cant buy, and so do us. No one can take away this friendship that once cut into my life. I hope that we will still continue to be close sisters, to bottle out our feelings and let our memories continue to live on.
不知怎么的，我突然想起好多以前的事。我们都总活在过去，或许是现在不如以前吧。或许是我不懂得珍惜现在的拥有的时间吧。我们未曾去珍惜眼前的一切。如今我们各分东西，各自为了我们的将来打拼。联络是有的，但少之又少。我很害怕，害怕有一天会跟你们失去联络，因为要在茫茫人海中与他们碰面，结识，还真不简单。也许，几年后，当我们相遇时，只是一个‘你好’和‘再见’罢了。回忆起那些在学校里的快乐时光，如今使在难以忘怀。曾经带给我们许多快乐的时候，谁会遗忘他们呢？或许是时间。时间带给我们许许多多的阻碍，她夺走了我们之间能够相处的每一份每一秒。他带给了我们许多不快乐的事，他让我们分离，让我们对彼此相处的时间少了。十年后的今天，我们还会在联络吗？我希望，还会。我真的希望。因为回忆是人拥有最珍贵的东西。你既买不到，别人也夺不走。回忆也会随着时间而变得更美好。虽然时间带给了我们美好的回忆，但我要的不只是回忆，因为回忆只能让我们去回味，去忘怀。我要的是眼前的一切，我要的是现实，我要的是我们凝固的友情。我知道，我们的友情将于时间赛跑，是时间让我们友情变成回忆，还是友情让我们在时间的分秒逼真下继续长久下去？当然，答案我们心中有数，我也希望我的答案会实现。

Jedan'09! :D
Omg! Hello!
Family 2 outing rocks,
seriously it rocks my day! :D
Though Fadli lost his reputation, but I guess he had fun? :D
Anw, found & managed to firgure out the whole theme song for Jedan! hEre it goes where it summarizes our whole trip! ;D
月亮代表我的心. [yue liang dai biao wo de xin]
To come Medan is not easy,
H1N1's scary.
At first got many,
now drop till 50,
only left with JJC.
______________
Wear mask we look funny,
board the pane happy,
in the bus sleepy,
2hrs reach Berastagi.
[Not sure if there's another verse or what]
Play dominos once more,
this time it is not a chore,
we sing and form the LINE,
dominos are fell just fine.
Fruit farm they rot,
hot springs too hot,
come back play water sport.
Cold water freezing,
we keep on playing,
everybody enjoying.
Hadi he says he's from Banni,
but he is from Biki,
though it sounds silly,
we are not housey,
we are JJ family.
Then Mr Ng turn up in pants,
and make the students tense.
Were we checking out?
Like the other day?
And the students face turn grey.
But it was just a joke,
so that students learn to cope.
When plans are all altered,
expect the unexpected!
Theme park thrilling, 4D movies,
was very exciting.
Zheng Hao, Harrisan both were pretty sick.
Make the teachers all worried.
你问我爱你有多深，[ni wen wo ai ni you duo shen]
we love you very much.
Though we are from four(Bikila, Bannister, Owens, Rono)
we can do much more,
together as one we'll soar.
yepyep thats it
meaningfuil isn't it? :D:D:D:D
Booked for this whole wk! It's meet-up time!

ANd also, the teachers are wayyyyy too wonderful, so much better than the china trip /:

China Trip! 13th March - 26th March '09
Yeah, so now I'm going to finally blog about the trip to china.
Lol!
13th March - 26th March 2009
It was my virgin trip to china - Xi'an & Beijing.
Happy? Excited? Yes yes yes, whatever happy words you could find, yep, that was my initial feelings :D
The weather throughout was simply cooling and cold, when I reached Spore, almost couldnt adapt back to the weather about 1-18 degree! haha.
Valissa was my roomate! :D
There were a total of 20 people going! Plus two teachers, so for the trip that I'm gonna post, it'll just be the happy ones.
As they said, let the bygones be bygones, keep the good memories in your heart :D:D:D:D
Alright, shall spam the pics and wordy words now! :D
But i shan't put captions though, if not it will take years for this post to finish.
In all, for this whole trip, I took 2000++ photos, but not all will be here. I'll try to squeeze them in here, but it may be difficult. Your com may lag, so I'm really really sorry!
I'll post less, pics more, Pictures speaks a thousand words! (:
Anw, I've decided - to skip the pics of Musuem artefacts, schools that I've visited, yep, thats about it. If not, I won't be able to load everything.
However,
Day 1: 13th March '09
Had to assemble at terminal 1 0700. The flight was 0930. So headed to the airport to had breakfast with my parents.
It was a whole long day of flying from one place to another.
Once we depart from Spore to Beijing, there was another domestic flight to Xi'an.
Finally we reached Xi'an and it was already late at night.
Checked into the hotel and that's all for Day 1.
& oh man, the hotel was grand I would say, having val as my roomate! :D
2 person to that room was a little big, so we got peiqi&yanling over to sleep with us. :D
It was more fun having 4 person isn't it? :D
But some people just don't understand, it's alright!
The more the merrier, and I assure you we 4 girls had super, uber lots of fun! :D:D:D:D
Day 2: 14th March '09
Breakfast in the hotel was just plain & boring. The food were rather oily though. But it's alright, one shan't complain about the food!
The weather was cool! Early morning and it was alr cold, since we weren't used to the coldness, the clothes we wore were like those during winter time, yes it was that exerggarating. LOL!
And smoke came out of my mouth when I talked and we girls got so high!!! Total madness~ /:
Headed to Qidi Secondary School. They were extremely delighted with us. And we had exchanged program. It was only a short introduction and short exchange between schools.
Don't this guy looked like GUCHENYI? The guy in white.
After that headed to 大唐芙蓉园(Da tang fu rong yuan). Spent the whole afternoon there. Walked around and the place was pretty cool I would say.
Then at night watch a movie which was on water. It was magnificient!
Back to the hotel to rest and it was high time with the 4 girls again!
Day 3: 15th March '09
Alright! Today we didn't had to go to school for exchanged programme! :D
Headed to 汉阳陵(Han Yang Ling) Spent our whole morning there, looking at some artefacts and the place where they were buried!
Lunched at some place. Then went to a bookstore like that. Wasn't that appealing though, they only had chinese books there & I bought 2 for CSC. One thing good was that their books were pretty cheap. I bought them for only 95 rmb, which was 19 Sing dollars. I bet this would cost me only one book at $19 each if I were to buy them here /:
Then, headed off to Museum again. Not that much, just artefacts too.
Dinner at some fine place, but smoking was allowed there. Air pollution! ALmost couldn't enjoy my meal happily! =x
It's back to the hotel again.!
Had a fun time laughing crazyily & madly with the girls.!
Day 4: 16th March '09
Early in the morning had immersion programe! Went to a prominent and well known school in Xi'an, 交大二附中(Jiao da er fu zhong). Whole day had lessons there. Oh boy, it was terribly boring! The teacher went thru China history, you know, those tang dynasty?!
I couldn't take it and I fell asleep. yes, I know I shouldn't do that, but I couldn't take it.
Our lessons were not those type whereby we went in to sit with the China students.
It was us, 20 of us being given a room and the teacher went in to teach us. The lesson time was long too, each period was approximate an hour continously. Totally can't take it.
But what i like was the half an hour exercise where everyone had to gather together and do a warm-up exercise. & the lines they queued were straight, Whoa, impressive was the only word to describe! Too bad, I couldn't upload the video here, get it from me, it's in my phone though! :D
Only dinner was good, we had the chance to eat Peking duck :D:D:D:D
Nice nice nice! Superb :P
Day 5: 17th March '09
It's coundown 10 days to my birthday! xD
headed to the same school again for immersion. -.-
Bored! D:
Had history again!! Alll the way, total waste of my time when I'm not even taking this subj, I pity those sci stream students who were with us there too/:
Alright, for general knowledge, adapt to the lessons~
I'm like deceiving myself!
It was until about evening and then went over for dinner. We went to a halal place to eat dumplings! The food was heavenly!!! :D:D:D:D
Then was given about an hour or so for some light shopping :D
Back to our hotel and it was high time! haha.!
Day 6: 18th March '09
yes! Last day of the immersion programme there! Had a mini lesson only! :D
It was good!
Bade goodbye and headed off to tourist attraction.
Yanling fell sick! She couldn't join us for that whole day! D:
Headed to 西安明城墙（Xi'an ming cheng qiang). Yep, there spent about few hours there.
Ride bicycle with Peiqi since val couldn't really ride and I wasn't that confident if I could ferry her.
Me & peiqi were the last to go back -.-
Took about 1 and half hours to ride the whole wall, but at least we completed it, we perservered it! :D
Great achievement! ANd had a great and fun time screaming & shouting.
Only bad thing was the scorching sun was shining on us terribly. Worse, we were wearing thick clothing you know!
Thick clothing + cycling continuous for one and half hour + bright & scorching sun + lack of water = Fun, fun & fun.
But I think it was because of this that I started to fall sick sooN! :(
Then headed off to a museum to look at artefacts again.
At night, went off for dinner to thank the teachers at jiao da for their efforts.
Our table was very high because one teacher sat with us, and to them, the teacher was cute. LOL
Yanling join us for dinner though :D
At night went back to the hotel room.
I think because we slept together, yan passed the virus to me?
I was feeling terribly sick.
And one funny thing was, since yan was sick, the vp came, and it was girls room and he was abit ps hesitating wanting to come in anot.
& we girls made hell loads of noise and our room was terribly messy!
4 girls you know, hhaha!
So we were laughing like mad!!! Can you imagine when crazy girls coming together, LOL!
Day 7: 19th March '09
Headed to Arts school, where a very famous artist drew. :D
That whole day was terrible for me! D:
After the mini test, I couldn't take it anymore.
fever shot up to 39 degrees high, and I had to skip the whole itenary for that day, 大雁塔广场( Da yan ta guang chang). Many said it wasn't that interesting.
w
I went back to the hotel room to sleep soundly the whole day.
Until the vp came -.-
Terribly embarrassed /:
& what's worse was I insisted on not going to the hospital! You know, errr I don;t really trust their medical facilities there as compared to Spore /:
So survive on my dosage of panadols which I brought there!
Day 8: 20th march '09
Countdown 7 days to my 17th big day! 8D
Wasn't feeling that well, but still persisted. Worse was my panadols have fnished, It was super embarrassing to get them from the vp. Whoa, face throw until don't know where can?!
He knows my name! =.=
Embarrass to the max!
We went to visit 兵马俑(terra cotta)
Oh the view was spectacular.
Alright, a picture speaks a thousand words.
Lunched was alright, then I wasn't feeling well, so I went to rest in the bus, then moved on to 华清池, you know the place where that girl bathe? Yep, thats it.
At night, had steamboat. Couldn't ate much. But the food was still alright though.
Then it was back to the hotel.
Day 9: 21st March '09
It was retail therapy! :D:D:D:D
Shopped with the 4 girls.
Lunched there too and was shopping all the way. How cool can that be?!?! 8D
Bused around to look at some night scenery, wow, it was nice! :D
Went back to the hotel to pack our luggage since we were heading to beijing the next morning.
Our last day at the hotel! D:
Last day with the tour guides there, the tour guide were pretty, cute, lovely ladies! :D
Day 10: 22nd March '09
5 days to my big day!
Morning call was super early!
Breakfast was provided by them and we ate in the bus. Transfer our flight to Beijing. When we reached Beijing, it was another 2 hours or so bus ride to the most western side of Beijing, mengtougou. It was terribly cold! Cold to the coldest!!!! Brrrrrrr~
We had to wear long john for the whole few days stay in Beijing. The temp dropped drastically!
I wore almost like 4 clothings + 2 jeans. Can you imagine how cold it was? But it was fun :D
Heh.
Checked in and we immediately went to a school where they did their pottery.
Tried out the pottery and my end product was horrible /:
Checked in at the hotel and this hotel was horrible compared to the one in Xi'an. Though there was a bathtub, it was small. And the security there was horrible -.-
Day 11: 23rd March '09
4 days to my big day!
Breakfast at there was -.-
The food was totally not my taste. It was salty, spicy, oily!
headed to some school where our principal mr koh gave talks to all the teachers there.
The people who invited us made us look like we were some big stars.
Cameras videos etc etc all shined on us.
LOL!
Had some exchanged programme with the young kids there.
They performed during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Damn cool right?! To be able to participate at such a young age. (:
Had dinner, dinner wasn't that good though.
Our last night at that horrible place! yayness :D
Day 12: 24th March '09
3 days to my big big day! :D
Woke up, checked out from that horrible place! :D
Took another few hours of bus ride back to bejing.
Immediately headed to Beijing University, wow the place was super big and cool!
It wasn't an easy place to get in, neither was it an easy place to just enter because there were guards stationed there.
So, I was really lucky that I could visit the place :D
The guy who was studying there helped us around the place, he was cute xD
yep, then had lunch there, yeah, lunch at bejing suited my taste more, mentougou's food wasn't that suitable for me. I think because it was too oily & salty /:
Went to the Bird's nest, stayed there for quite a while.
Headed to some shopping malls and bookstore. 王府井+书城
Dinner and then it was checked in to a new hotel.
Alright, it wasn't that bad :D
Re-united with Pei&yan! Haha!
Day 13: 25th March '09
2 days to my big day!
Woke up, had breakfast. Breakfast was getting worse and worse each day ever since we stepped into Beijing.
I think Xi'an was better!
After breakfast! Yes tourist attraction! Headed to the great wall of china! And I was so weak. Only managed to complete one tiny section. Haha. But at least I climbed :D
Then headed to the 十三陵(shi san ling), 13 tomb where the emperors were buried. The view was nice. :D
After dinner, it was shopping time! At 秀水街(Xiu shui jie). The thing there were very very cheap! Bargain like mad and caught quite a no. of deals. Satisfaction there! :D:D:D:D
Back to the hotel.
Day 14: 26th March '09
Tmr is my big big big big birthday! :D:D:D:D
Checked out, breakfast was speechless. All the eggs cooked in different forms, steam, boiled, scrambled~
Headed to tiananmen square first.
And then to gu gong.
The view was great too. Love the place there! :D
After touring the place, set off to the airport and it was home sweet home!
Touched down in Spore at around 2200plus. :D
Alright, some reflections:D
Felt that Xi'an suited me more in terms of the food, accomodation lodging.
Attitude about the China people was bad. I would rate 0/10. But this post was meant for a happy one, so all the bad behavious about them shall be kept in my heart. Yeap, but the overall trip was fun, with val, pei & yan. :D
Small Glimpse of the food there!
The food directly in front is deer's meat if I'm not wrong. Tried the taste and it was cold and weird.
We had sumptous meal of more than 10 dishes a day.
This is one of the mass conference that we had. The food was so tasty that
everyone tried the food and wasn't listening! haha!
Now what about a BIG AND MESSY glimpse of our hotel roomstay with the crazy 4 girls? Haha!
Hotel at mentougou: Not that class though /:
Even though there was a bath tub, I checked out the rate and it was
relatively cheap for a night's stay.
This was the classy style of hotel room in Xi'an.
But I realised all the pics are the messy messy side of us. For a 4 ppl staying in that room, the room was quite messy isn't it?! Esp the bathroom and the small tables! xD
Alright, so apart from the bad attitude,service, oily food etc from those china people living there, the rest was great.
Scenery wise, omgodness, it was magnificent, the view was totally spectucular. From all the way to different part of the places, I really enjoyed myself with the rest of the people :D
Also, the weather, which was suppsedly to be cooling but ended up too cold due to global warming, was a new experience for me. Haha! :D
Really enjoyed myself that much! 8D
So Yep, that's all. I hope you enjoy these pics :D
PS: I'm sure this pic are enough to last you until I'm back! :D
PPS: So sry, after don't know how many days of uploading, still didn't managed t upload some other sections, will upload when I'm back.
meanwhile, tkcare everyone :D
Contact me if you wanna find me! :D
Lol!

Wasn't feeling that well, but still persisted. Worse was my panadols have fnished, It was super embarrassing to get them from the vp. Whoa, face throw until don't know where can?!
He knows my name! =.=
Embarrass to the max!
We went to visit 兵马俑(terra cotta)
Oh the view was spectacular.
Alright, a picture speaks a thousand words.
Lunched was alright, then I wasn't feeling well, so I went to rest in the bus, then moved on to 华清池, you know the place where that girl bathe? Yep, thats it.
At night, had steamboat. Couldn't ate much. But the food was still alright though.
Then it was back to the hotel.
Day 9: 21st March '09
It was retail therapy! :D:D:D:D
Shopped with the 4 girls.
Lunched there too and was shopping all the way. How cool can that be?!?! 8D
Bused around to look at some night scenery, wow, it was nice! :D
Went back to the hotel to pack our luggage since we were heading to beijing the next morning.
Our last day at the hotel! D:
Last day with the tour guides there, the tour guide were pretty, cute, lovely ladies! :D
Day 10: 22nd March '09
5 days to my big day!
Morning call was super early!
Breakfast was provided by them and we ate in the bus. Transfer our flight to Beijing. When we reached Beijing, it was another 2 hours or so bus ride to the most western side of Beijing, mengtougou. It was terribly cold! Cold to the coldest!!!! Brrrrrrr~
We had to wear long john for the whole few days stay in Beijing. The temp dropped drastically!
I wore almost like 4 clothings + 2 jeans. Can you imagine how cold it was? But it was fun :D
Heh.
Checked in and we immediately went to a school where they did their pottery.
Tried out the pottery and my end product was horrible /:
Checked in at the hotel and this hotel was horrible compared to the one in Xi'an. Though there was a bathtub, it was small. And the security there was horrible -.-
Day 11: 23rd March '09
4 days to my big day!
Breakfast at there was -.-
The food was totally not my taste. It was salty, spicy, oily!
headed to some school where our principal mr koh gave talks to all the teachers there.
The people who invited us made us look like we were some big stars.
Cameras videos etc etc all shined on us.
LOL!
Had some exchanged programme with the young kids there.
They performed during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Damn cool right?! To be able to participate at such a young age. (:
Had dinner, dinner wasn't that good though.
Our last night at that horrible place! yayness :D
Day 12: 24th March '09
3 days to my big big day! :D
Woke up, checked out from that horrible place! :D
Took another few hours of bus ride back to bejing.
Immediately headed to Beijing University, wow the place was super big and cool!
It wasn't an easy place to get in, neither was it an easy place to just enter because there were guards stationed there.
So, I was really lucky that I could visit the place :D
The guy who was studying there helped us around the place, he was cute xD
yep, then had lunch there, yeah, lunch at bejing suited my taste more, mentougou's food wasn't that suitable for me. I think because it was too oily & salty /:
Went to the Bird's nest, stayed there for quite a while.
Headed to some shopping malls and bookstore. 王府井+书城
Dinner and then it was checked in to a new hotel.
Alright, it wasn't that bad :D
Re-united with Pei&yan! Haha!
Day 13: 25th March '09
2 days to my big day!
Woke up, had breakfast. Breakfast was getting worse and worse each day ever since we stepped into Beijing.
I think Xi'an was better!
After breakfast! Yes tourist attraction! Headed to the great wall of china! And I was so weak. Only managed to complete one tiny section. Haha. But at least I climbed :D
Then headed to the 十三陵(shi san ling), 13 tomb where the emperors were buried. The view was nice. :D
After dinner, it was shopping time! At 秀水街(Xiu shui jie). The thing there were very very cheap! Bargain like mad and caught quite a no. of deals. Satisfaction there! :D:D:D:D
Back to the hotel.
Day 14: 26th March '09
Tmr is my big big big big birthday! :D:D:D:D
Checked out, breakfast was speechless. All the eggs cooked in different forms, steam, boiled, scrambled~
Headed to tiananmen square first.
And then to gu gong.
The view was great too. Love the place there! :D
After touring the place, set off to the airport and it was home sweet home!
Touched down in Spore at around 2200plus. :D
Alright, some reflections:D
Felt that Xi'an suited me more in terms of the food, accomodation lodging.
Attitude about the China people was bad. I would rate 0/10. But this post was meant for a happy one, so all the bad behavious about them shall be kept in my heart. Yeap, but the overall trip was fun, with val, pei & yan. :D
Small Glimpse of the food there!
The food directly in front is deer's meat if I'm not wrong. Tried the taste and it was cold and weird.
We had sumptous meal of more than 10 dishes a day.
This is one of the mass conference that we had. The food was so tasty thateveryone tried the food and wasn't listening! haha!
Now what about a BIG AND MESSY glimpse of our hotel roomstay with the crazy 4 girls? Haha!Hotel at mentougou: Not that class though /:
Even though there was a bath tub, I checked out the rate and it wasrelatively cheap for a night's stay.
This was the classy style of hotel room in Xi'an.
But I realised all the pics are the messy messy side of us. For a 4 ppl staying in that room, the room was quite messy isn't it?! Esp the bathroom and the small tables! xDAlright, so apart from the bad attitude,service, oily food etc from those china people living there, the rest was great.
Scenery wise, omgodness, it was magnificent, the view was totally spectucular. From all the way to different part of the places, I really enjoyed myself with the rest of the people :D
Also, the weather, which was suppsedly to be cooling but ended up too cold due to global warming, was a new experience for me. Haha! :D
Really enjoyed myself that much! 8D
So Yep, that's all. I hope you enjoy these pics :D
