2009 had not been a really good year for me! Although I went China, but felt that I din really do as much as i would want to! Tried very hard to study after I came back BUT still can't get over China and affect my studies. Tried too hard and screw up everything! BUY new phone oso kena crack after 2 wks. No job interview for me!
CHUI TO THE MAX AR!!! EMO like siao!
BUT 2010 is here le! EVERYTHING will be back to a new start again. If I wanna excel and get back to my top form, I muz look forward and forget everything!
Watched INVICTUS today! It was quite inspirational. HOW TO INSPIRE URSELF AND OTHERS to EXCEED EXPECTATIONS! Personal Philosophy? Muz think!!!
Tml is the start of sch alr! everything has to be gone by tonite! ok? JIAYOU Huppie!
Study hard, Focus, FIND gd JOB!
ONLY den it will be worth my money going to USA on May! YAY! =D

We went up JingShan gongyuan to look at the scenery of GuGong! Furthermore, the grass patches are becoming greener and greener! It was cool lying on them! Haha! We also took quite a few pics there! Many activities occurred within the park! For example, line dance, singing sessions etc. Not a bad place for cheapo admission!
We also tried the Beijing pastries for our lunch as everywhere were crowded! Haha! Comments were mixedbut generally, still edible! =)

However, they wwere sooo late when they met me back at the bicycle renting area! they were abt half an hour late lo! Haha!
Back at Dongsi, we looked for the cheap bbq oysters that the GIP ppl recommended tat time! Haha! We found it eventually! Wakaka!
Happy ending for us!
We went to meet Cai who came from GIP Shanghai. He's also from the same unit as howard and I! Went to sanlitun to chill for the nite! I realised that ppl are very funny! The caucasians there tried to speak chinese while the chinese tried to speak english to the caucasians! SOO contradicting rite? Trying to show off that they noe some foreign language? Wakaka! Dunno wat are they thinking abt!
Being lazy to upload pics here, do check out the pics on fb yea? Haha!!
Most of the GIP went to SHIDU, outside beijing! Hope tat they are having fun there!

Hip Wangjing!!!
Thursday (30/4/09)
It's the last day of the month alr! I'm tired of having Chinese food all these while! Hence, I decided to go for a different cuisine! I discovered a hip place in wangjing. It's CapitalLand. Hence, it's like Singapore mall, having haagen daas, fast food restaurants, UPS restaurants and stores. There's even auntie annie there! haha!
I went to this italian restaurant called BABELA. Selling economical pasta and desserts! I had my favourite carbonara, tiramisu and a cappucino! Haha! Shiok rite? the tiramisu has cocoa powder on top, rum within it. Juz like this:
Although it's not the best i had, but given tat i only paid 34 bucks for the whole meal, it is quite afforadable! Haha!
Anw, I alr found a hip wangjing! Haha! More hip places ard our house will be discovered!

Great Wkend!!!
Yoz Yoz Yoz!!! It has been a while since I've visited this blog alr!!! Haha!
We went to visit the village within Beijing this friday!It was a field trip for us to understand the village conditions in China. However, this village we went to, had been renovated, improved its conditions thru one of the govt. policies. Hence, when we reached there, we see clean streets, clean plantation etc. Not sth tat I've expected in a village! They even had a showroom for visitors! Zai rite? So sorry tat i dun have a pic to show u.
We visit the plantations there! Mainly the veg plantation! And mushrooms! Wahh! This is how they grow the mushrooms! Got to noe abt it the first time!
Cool huh?
I'm starting to noe the GIP ppl better and better alr. Through the field trips and the lessons tat we had. And of course, the sports days after lessons and the dinner after tat allow us to interact with one another better! It's great to be here and noe more ppl! Haha!!!
Sunday! (26/04/09)
In order to allow us to have a better understanding abt the modern art industry in Beijing, we went to 798 after our 自然醒. It's an old factory now with many arts galleries inside! The paintings are magnificient! At the start, we tried to guess wat is the painter trying to imply. Haha! None of us got it correct!
Some of the arts inside are bold, touching on the controvesial issues. for eg:
there's a series of photos which a hostess shot herself to reflect her thoughts and feelings. and her undestanding of different men that she had met during her times as a hostess! It's something tat I've nv come across! Yeah! So it's an eye opener for me!
This wkend will be a long holiday! But i wun be travelling out of Beijing la! Haha! Stay tuned for wat i will be doing den! Wakak!!!

九寨沟之旅
I'm finally free to write the blog already! Haha! It had been a while since I'm back from the JZG trip! This time round, replacing Howard and YM were 2 juniors from CS who are here for exchange!
We left on thurs evening and stayed over at 梦之旅 for a nite! Cheap! And we set off early at 5.30am! Btw, our transportation is taxi which we bao for the whole trip! 600RMB per person!
went to 牟尼沟and take a look at the fountain! Nothing amazing to me la! Haha! BUT... it starts snowing after that for the whole nite! The nxt day! this is wat i saw:
The snow there is totally different as compared to wat we saw in Beijing! It's soft, white but with some green! It's nice to see green green all ard! Haha! Took quite a lot of pics while waiting for the uncle!
However, the day was wasted as we can't go to 黄龙due to the snow! Taxi uncle say will all be snow! And may not be able to go all the way up!
We had lunch and check in our hotel! There's electric heating mat underneath our bed! Shuangssss! We went to explore the area before uncles brought us to 藏家to experience their culture! It was really fun! We had a chance to noe a new culture and they are really very entertaining! Everyone noe how to sing there! WY and LM had most fun out of it as they were dragged to be married into the family! The drink was really nice and the 烤牛肉！fantastic! We danced with them till nite! i bet everyone's having a lot of fun! Except for YR! Haha! Tink she cannot really drink too much tat she vomitted! 12% oso can vomit! Haiz!!!
The Nxt day! It's time to enter the 沟口!Best moments awaits inside there! We see many seas tat day! I tink it's the most number of seas and lakes that i had seen in my life! However, the scenery is not that magnificent as ppl had exclaimed! This is due to the weather as it is still quite cold, hence, the colours and the leaves etc are not fully grown!
Nice rite!!! Haha!
We headed back to Chengdu on Monday! Best part came! Our fight had some problems that we had to take the nxt day flight! AND... We will be given 400RMB refund plus accommodation and meals provided! Shuangsss! AND We can still skip a day of work! Shiok！
During this trip, some conflicts occurred among us! However, we handled it well at the end that things are back to normal! I guess this is because everyone had different mentality and see things differently. Managed to get this drawn out finally! Hope tat we starts to have the mutual understanding among one another!
Anw, it had been 2 months in China alr! I'm getting use to the life here! Still enjoying! Anw, my pics are on fb! Do check out if u're free! Haha!
Cheers!!!

I've been to Tianjin le!!!
Went Tianjin this morning! Hearing the rest of the GIP-Beijing people who went to Tianjin said that it is not that great, we made it a one-day trip! This will be my first time taking train! Yeah! So exciting!
We took the normal train there which cost us 19 bucks BUT no seats! So we actually cramped ourselves at the doorway like this:
thought that it will be alrite until we realised that the door nxt to us is the entrance to the cafe in the train itself! Everyone keeps going in and out! AND someone actually juz smoke nxt to us! What an experience! Shifting in is a betta choice and some uncles offered the girls their seats while they walked abt!
We reached tianjin after one and a half hour!
We went to the 鼓楼 by cab! The most interesting of all there is the 钟！YM and me hit it 3 times for gd wishes!
We made our way to the Ancient Cultural Street! Bought a lot of stuff from there! Cheap and gd! YM, YC and WY bought the 扯铃tat we saw during the arcobatic performance yesterday! WY is quite gd at it!
As we took quite a long time at the Ancient Cultural Street, we went to 天津狗不理大酒店 for the famous 狗不理包子! It's actually Haha! Not as bad as the rest had said! But the service there is awesome! When u get down from the cab, there's ppl opening the door for u, someone offering u a hot towel to wipe urself! UPS leh! Haha! Had quite some food there which cost us abt 45 RMB each.
It's time to head back home le! We will be taking the reputable bullet train which cost us 58 bucks!
Haha! But it only takes 30 min to reach beijing! Look at the speed:
There are free bottle of water for each of us at the entrance and magazines for us to read! In fact, it made me feel like I'm on the plane! Cool huh!!!
Home Sweet Home!
So satisfied that it's an one-day trip for Tianjin! Filled with areas that we need to see there! And of course getting quite a handful of good deals there! Haha! Recommended for one-day trip!
It will be great for this and the following week! Been travelling to Great Wall and Tianjin! Nxt weekend, I will be going to 九寨沟. one of the nicest place in China! So excited! Keep posted yeah!
