Day1

woke up super early, rushed to the airport and wait wait wait... asha and weilin came to send us off! so sweet awwwww~ :D hehe. den we flew off to GuangZhou for a plane transit. eileen the bombom went to buy a diet pepsi at the airport which costs 27rmb, which is like, 5plus sing dollars.. waste $$$! hahaha. okay anyways, den flew to ShenYang after loitering at the airport for an hour. when we walked out of the airport and the wind blew towards us, i was like, "wow! the weather here is fantastic!" like got free aircon lidat :) hehe. then, we headed straight to the school; DongBeiYuCaiWaiGuoYuXueXiao, Northeast Yucai Foreign Language School. ate dinner, with chopsticks only. let me tell u why i bolded the 'chopsticks only'. i dont really know how to use chopsticks! i have to struggle with those two wooden sticks before i can start my meal!! ha. okok i know its kind of a disgrace -.-" hmm yah continueing with what i was saying, after dinner we went to bath. guess what? their bathing room is one big room with no doors! lucky tcher told us to bring swim suit, and i brought camp shirt to bath. some people stripped went bathed naked just like that. its like.. omgg? i know to some people its common? but.. to me its kinda funny and its just..... wrong. hahas. &&&! there's no hot water! omgggg. unpacked a lil, then went staight to sleep. the bed was damn hard, its almost equivalent to sleeping on a piece of wood, the sponge was like only 3-4cm thick! sleep what? its quite jailat for the first day in ShenYang. how i missed singapore life then~ T.T

Day2

woke up at 5.30am. rushed with the daily necessities; brush teeth, wash face, tie hair, pack bag. & went staight down to the field with the china students for their morning exercise at 6.15am. after the morning exercise, my buddy bought me breakfast. it was wonton, quite ok lah, but s'pore's wonton was still better. :) then went to their small auditorium for a boring speech from their principal. lols. went to buddy's class to attend 2 lessons; #1Foreign Language #2Mathematics. their foreign language teacher was an american, a tall tall tall tall tall american. lol took a picture with him! haha. then we went to a level1 class for boring history lessons. then it was lunch, and i kinda forgot wad my buddy bought for me. hehheh. then went to the GuGong, how to describe? its a palace preserved for tourism purposes. then went to their "918 memorial place" sth like s'pore's old fort factory, talking bout history of the life and war when japan invaded their country. then headed back for the hostel fo dinner and then bathed. this time there was hot water. phewww~ then buddy came to our domitory to talk for bout an hour. she was quite cute that day hehe. den buddy went back to her room, den we slept.

day3

woke up at 5.50am. when we woke up, our buddies were already in our rooms to notify us about the cancelling of doing morning exercise. :) i kinda rmb we were almost late for all the morning exercise. hahaha. then, my buddy bought bowl of dry noodles called jia jiang mian in chinese for me. it was kinda salty but i somehow managed to finish more then half of it just to not try to upset my buddy. after breakfast, our buddies brought us to the field, they played badminton while i sat there and watched cuz i know im lousy at it. :( haha but anyways, lessons started after that. #1Mathematics #2English #3Biology, then went to another class for reading poems one i think. then the teacher down there read the poems with so much emotions but we down there talk talk talk.. hahaha. then after that was lunch and we headed straight off to their garden, something like singapore's mandrin gardens only that theirs was alot bigger but very limited kinds of flowers. eil the bombom cut her finger against the rose thorns there, ha. then we went to carrefour to stock up for the next day's train trip to shan hai guan. and i think this was the day eil spoilt shar's bed. she squashed the yogurt on shar's bed! hahaha. then headed back for the hostel, ate dinner, bathed, slept.

day4

woke up at 5.45am. didnt went to morning exercise at all. got scolding from MsToh & MdmShen :( breakfast, lessons [chinese language], briefing on the ChunYou trip, lunch, their school's annual singing contest, then went on to a bus trip to the train station. we were separated from our buddies. we, the s'pore pips had to go together in one group while the china pips were behind us so i had no chance to really talk to my buddy :( but anw, the train ride was like about 6hours!! i think i slept for 4hours hehheh. :P reached ShanHaiGuan pretty late. went to our resort which was 6 people in one apartment an one apartment has 3rooms. me shar and eil shared one room, soohan took one room herself while sinmiao & jiayu shared one room. the bed, although still super hard, but was tons better then the bed in the hostel! phew... HEHE :D

day5

woke up at 7.17am. hehe. ate a full breakfast, and then went to their amusement park. and wow! it was super huge and the rides are like tons better then escape theme parks' too. but but but, our teachers wanted to play safe, and didnt allow us to play most of the rides!!! T.T sobsobs... but we managed to persuade them to let us go onto the roller coaster ride where there was a 360degrees turning.

looks cool huh? :D but it was a super fast ride. when the ride ended, we were like huh? no more liao ah? lol. i sat with MsToh for this ride. :) hehe. the other ride we went were not exciting at all, so i'm not gonna bother to elaborate on them, haha. ate maggie mee in the amusement park and bought some back to our resort cuz the lunch provided for us was pathetic. an egg, some bread and a cucumber. WTH? wad kind of lunch was that? haha. nvm. went to the Olympic Park, took many many pictures haha. waiting for others to send me cuz i dont really use my camera in the whole china trip. but i shall upload those i have. :)

" anw, i had to face them with a smile out of courtesy as i'd be staying, eating, bathing and doing everything else at their expense for the next two days. as so we moved along. the father drove us back, when i sfirst stepped into the house i was like "wow, the house is so nice and cosy" haha. then the mother heated the dinner she prepared earlier for us. it was yummilicious. hmmm~ haha oh yah sth i found out bout them. their house, only have chopsticks! lol! they have spoons, but its very small. u know, those baby use one? ah those kind.. hahas but other than that i had no problems staying in that house. the bed was cosy, the parents were friendly and nice, my buddy was cute, the tv had handsome guys for me to watch ^^, the toilet was nice, the fruits were juicy, the meals were taken care of. :)) i'd give them a full marks! hehe.
