FIRSTLY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA! ! !

Finally got to blog properly! Haven't been able to log onto Xanga! I can't even get to that page and I assume China's network can't get into Xanga! But I have tons of pictures to be updated and I have so many experiences to talk about. And you know how short-term memory I am right! I can't possibly remember them all so I better blog them down. I took many pictures but I am afraid the network here might not be able to load them quick enough. Try my best alright?

FIRST DAY 11th October:
Amazingly, I slept pretty well the night before! =D Woke up at 6am and headed soon after that to the airport in a cab. Had breakfast at this "kopitiam" which is darn high-class in the Airport. =D Pretty excited with butterflies in the stomach. Mami and sis sent me to the Airport and I waited for ying, yue and chris. Happy to see them you know! And this three sweeties gave me an Ang Bao (*red packet*)! *Million wet kisses* Then took group photos and off we went into the gates! Huili and June cried! But well, miraculously, they got OKAY in the shopping area. The wonder of shopping! I am pretty nervous at the time you know! Super afraid of taking the plane especially after taking Aerospace! No wonder they say ignorance is bliss! Know too much, get worried too much!
I got pretty tickled at the inspection gates. When they detect metal on your body, they take this long stick and scan through your body. IT'S FREAK TICKLISH! But it's gonna look very weird for me to stand there and laugh right?! =D
Then went into the PLANE! Sat with junejune the first time. Plane from Singapore to Hong Kong. Even if it's transit also happy! NEVER BEEN TO HONG KONG OKAY! And the Hong Kong airport is duper cool! It's surrounded by mountains/hills and waters! COOL! But very very warm there. =D Oh yes oh yes, the food on the plane is AWESOME! You know how much I love airplane food! I LOVE THEIR RICE SO MUCH! I LOVE THEIR MEAT SO MUCH! =D And I love the jiejies on the plane! Good for the eyes. Heh heh. Hong Kong air stewardess and stewards! =D Heh heh.

Then reached Hong Kong and walked around. After a SHORT WHILE we had to go back to the plane to FLY over to PEKING (*Beijing*). This time I sat with my project mate - Xavier. I sat window seat! I sat near the WING! =D Ailerons! Flaps! =D All I know!
Then touched down in BEIJING! You know how HIGH I was when I saw the lights and all?! LIKE DARN HIGH! I can't believe I am here in Beijing! First it was warm (*very high*) then secondly, COLD! It's really cold here in the beginning because we all can't really get use to it.
Waited there for our teacher to come fetch us. DARN HIGH and started snapping pictures! =D PEKING! I am stepping on the ground where the 29th Olmypic is held! =D High-ness!

Reached the School. Pretty interesting! NEW ENVIRONMENT! Placed our bags in our rooms (*pretty scary at first*) and went down to the canteen for supper! =D NICE NICE! =D Then went back to unpack and all! =D Slept early that night! =D

SECOND DAY 12th October:
Second day woke up early to head down to Xidan! This time is to see Mao Tze Dong. You know the gate? Pretty cool place! Took a group shot there too! =D Went shopping! =D Happy happy! I tried my luck in bargaining! Not bad you know! Pretty cheapskate sounding but that is useful if you don't want to be the idiot that's being chopped! *Shit! I kind of happen to forget what happened!* I only know I bought a beanie! =D And we had peking duck for dinner! Teacher treated us 40students! =D Had so much fun that day!


I shall stop here! =D Shall blog the 2nd half of 2nd day's entry tomorrow alright! =D
p/s: I learnt more about people.
