Shanghai!

The feeling of being so lost, unsure of what to do and unsure of everything around you. The scary feeling of trusting someone again, fearing that they might hurt you like how the others did. Not sure of what to do because you don't want to lose the person as a good friend too. To ignore? To accept and stay guilty for the rest of your life? What to choose? Ignore and pretend as if nothing happened? 3 years...

Anyways, I'm really confused this few days and like, there's just been so so so many things that have been running in my mind, so these few days, I'm quite emotional... :/ so yeah! But I decided to make myself feel better by updating my blog about the shanghai exchange and also, layang layang with lijing again! :D

I'M BACK FROM SHANGHAI AND MALAYSIA!! ^~^ 

Soooo, I was pretty busy doing last minute packing on 8th and 9th November HAHA. Met up with Yanlin and Delanie they all for breakfast at KFC in the morning and at about 12 I rushed off to meet Kean for lunch x_x. Was still quite full but I was really really craving for Pastamania so I forced myself to gobble down my food LOL. Went back home afterwards and did a final check for my luggage and went to find my relatives. Dinner with shawn at changi airport afterwards at SUBWAY!!! ^_^ Went to find Yanlin and others afterwards and checked in at about 11am. Went to walked around after checking in cause our flight was at about 0110(?) and we had plenty of time. Starbucks with Yibin, eshir, huiqing, jiexin, xiangbin, jarrel and yanlin while waiting for time to SLOWLY pass D:<.

Tonned on the plane with yanlin while watching step up 2 LOL. And somehow, someone ordered some other breakfast for me, so I received a weird "special order" list which I thought teacher ordered for me but after getting off the plane and I went to inquire about it, they said they didn't change my breakfast!!! So weird luh... and while others enjoyed awesome breakfast, mine sucked :( egg omelette with beans and mushrooms... seriously!?!??!! Other people received scrambled eggs with sausage and etc... T_T it's not fair!! D:< and the mushrooms tasted.... x_x like it's raw or something gosh.

finally touchdown at about 6am in the morning! Took a coach to dalian experimental school and briefing etcetc. Slept like a log on the bus and when we finally reached the school, I saw my buddy, xinyi and her friend dongyan!! ^^ xinyi, dongyan and xinyi's mum received me and took me to this.. dou jiang restaurant for breakfast! The people there were rude :/ so... we ordered you tiao and dou jiang but after like 20mins of waiting the food still haven't come so my buddy's mum got a little mad and went to like... ask for the food from the worker but the worker was like, "you go and ask those working upstairs la! How I know if your food is ready or not ah? brainless" and I got a shock LOL. The weather in shanghai was VERY AWESOME!!!!!! I was just wearing a raglan tee, tights and shorts at that time and my buddy's mummy was like "Shanghai's temperature is about 10C now, aren't you cold?" (she talked to me in chinese).

And I was like, "oh, I'm not scared of cold!" and she nick me the iron buddy LOL wth!!! But the temperature isn't that cold to me actually, so during the days in shanghai, I'm only wearing my tees and a jacket that's not really thick o.o, 2 layers! So, after eating, xinyi's mum drove me to their house and I get to rest cause xinyi have tuition!

Had a quick shower and went to sleep straight and when I woke up, there was a blanket on top of me LOL!!! It was around 5pm already and the mom went to heat up lunch for me LOL. Then she told me that their nanny went into my room and covered me with the blanket LOL. No wonder the temp suddenly increase so much >< But it's okay! Was a bit paiseh cause she said "ah yi bang ni gai bei de" and I thought the "ah yi" is her, so I thanked her but she was like, "ah yi bu shi wo ah, shi wo jia de bao mu" LOL! x_x?

Went to dongyan's house afterwards with xinyi's mummy to pick xinyi up from tuition and we went to I forgot where to take boat!! Omggg the scenery was SO SO NICE AHHHH

We went to alot of different places on sunday! So I forgot what exactly happened ><.

School on monday with Xinyi!!!!! It was a scary experience for me cause I was the only one in xinyi's class... they're all 13 and i'm 15 yet THEY'RE TALLER THAN ME! grrr. oh well. ^~^ it's okay HAHAHA.
So when I first walked in, everyone stared at me and I was so nervous!!!! >< Sat beside xinyi and her classmates are uber friendly!!!! except for the guys cause they very shy LOL, at least thats what xinyi said HAHAHA. And I was treated as if I'm an alien there!! They asked me loads of questions like, "ni hui jiang hua yu ma?" "xin jia po you jiao hua yu ma?" "wei shen me ni zhen me bai, xin jia po ren bu shi hen hei de ma?" "ni de tou fa shi zhen de hai shi jia de?" "ni de er duo you mei you gu tou de?" DAMN LOL I SWEAR! okay translate... "Do you know how to speak chinese?, Does singapore teach chinese?, Why are you so white, singaporeans should be darker, right?, Is your hair real?, Does your ear have bones?"

DAMN LOL QUESTIONS. One of them asked if my hair was real and I was like, "try pulling it lor!" AND SHE REALLY PULLED MY HAIR T_T"......... and another girl asked if my ear have bones anot LOL. I think it's cause of my piercings thats why she asked that question.... the questions is damn LOL la. x_x.
so during this PE lesson, the guys were playing bball and like the girls, despite having competition the next day, went to crowd around me just to talk/touch me LOL... okay sounds wrong but... REALLY!!! they literally touched me and all !! as if I'm an alien or something gosh. It was quite scary!!!! And during the last 2 periods, we went to watch basketball match from the sec2s and I saw the wgss people so I went to slack with them while xinyi they all went back to class!

THEN THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING HAPPENED! cause the school was HUGE, so I forgot xinyi was in which class LOL. And I thought I went into the wrong class!!! I walked like halfway into the class already and I realize that my seat was gone SO IT'S NOT MY CLASS and I was like "OMG WRONG CLASS SORRY SORRY" then i rushed out LOL. then I went to find yibin they all again to tell them what happened and xinyi came running towards me and she was like "why did you leave! it's the correct classroom!!!" LOLOL omg embarrassing x3. Went to have dinner with xinyi's family afterwards at idk where... x_x

Tuesday to friday was okay, We went to school with our buddies and went out to play and tour around shanghai! ^^ Then at night, we went back to our buddie's house. So in total, we all had 6 days of home stay!! On the last day, Friday morning, we took our luggage from our buddy's house and went to school. Then we had a leaving ceremony or something... It was really saddening to leave our buddies.. :'( although at the start of the home stay it was a little awkward, but slowly, it became like as if they're our family members!!! After the ceremony, we parted and we took our coach to ningbo! ^^ Went to tour around and took loads of pictures! Go view them at my facebook album cause there's just too much pictures to upload and I'm lazy LOL. :x

Had lunch at a restaurant and the food were all... meaty meat like whole fish, chicken etc etc T_T. And I really don't like to eat fish when the whole fish is there... with the eyes.. cause it's so cruel!!!! arghhhh. So I was like, half vegetarian in shanghai cause I don't eat meat if the whole animal is there LOL.... like, ducks... fish... SO KELIAN LEH!!!!! and you have to see other people poke them and like, cut out the meat and savour it................................................. faint

I mean like, I eat yupian, kfc, mac and all but... it's different if you can see the head or body there while you eat their meat!!! >< okay i guess i'm weird.

ANYWAYS, the lasy 7 days was really fun!!!! :D Forgot what happened already. so... GO AND VIEW THE ALBUM HAHA. :D 
















































Okay that's all for the shanghai updates! :B CIAOOOOOOOS.
Next post will be about layang with jing! <3

School ended on that Friday as well. ^^ I forgot what I did already because my schedule was so damn packed! There was lot of activities going on for me, meet up sessions, catch up sessions, workshops, friend in knead events etc etc and it was like... chaotic!! LOL, but i kinda liked it cause I'm beginning to get my life back. ^^ soooo, I actually took A LOT of photos in this 2 weeks because I became so self obsessed LOLjk, I wanted memories!

Booster week on 29th october till  2nd november! Was really tired for booster cause I had been going out everyday till sleeping hours or sometimes even past my sleeping hours! like at midnight LOL, I get tired really easily and I normally sleep at 12 or before 12! :( Was really restless and Keith, Delanie etc etc all not around because they have DnT! Had baking session after booster on Monday. Only me, sherry and lynette + her brother helped out! So it was really tiring luh and we ordered mac for lunch cause we didn't have anything to eat in school LOL. :(

After booster on Tuesday, went over to civic's mac to meet dear jing and venus for lunch and we had a great h2h talk again. Was quite emotional LOL. After lunch, it was around 4pm already I guess? Rushed home for a quick shower and went to causeway again. Caught sinister with shawn and had dinner at Ajisen ramn afterwards! ^^ Sinister is a great movie! A little confusing but the suspense and thrill is there! :D Not really scary for me though but........... LOL :D. Walked home with shawn after dinner and we had a great talk again!

On Wednesday, had baking session after booster! Kean came to help mrs goh too and we had great fun!!! :D There was a lot more people as compared to Monday and everything's smooth and quick! Went off like at 4pm cause I'm meeting venus for halloween!!!!! :D

Okay I know I look super hilarious! It's all Venus' fault!! T_T I originally wanted to be a dead bride but venus said that she'll help me make up with such enthu so I went ahead and let her draw on me AND WHEN I OPENED MY EYES I TURNED INTO A HOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE MADE ME LOOK LIKE A HOBO T_T she went to join my eyebrows together, drew "sexy mask" on me and pikachu's blush on me wth. I swear I looked like a hobo and I really wanted to redo my whole make up but it was already like 7.30pm already LOL so in the end I gave in and went out with that....... hobo face. T_T So..... to "Salvage" my face, i went to draw on  few stitches LOL... and I turned into  pedo hobo. how great. But it's okay la! Once in a year, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
So I daringly went out with my super embarrassing face LOL. OHWELL. :D


After everything, it was about 10pm already. walked back to venus' house to remove my make up and home sweet home next. :D

Booster on Thursday again, was so so tired! Went home straight after booster cause I was FREE FOR A DAY TO CATCH UP ON MY NAP!!! :D was so happy till i reach my doorstep..... I realized that i forgot to bring my keys out T_T.... So I went to get lunch first and come back home again and THANK GOD! Mummy and friends reached home already for mahjong session LOL. Ate lunch and went to nap till like 5. Prepared and went to had dinner with Kean! We went to the shop beside ajisen ramen which sells sushi and.... Japanese meals? I forgot the place's name! Had a great talk with Kean over dinner, he really motivates and inspires me! Head over to popular to buy some stuff and went home next.

Had hop on the food thingy on friday after booster with the p4-p6 kids! And my team won 1st place! :D awesome much HAHAHHAA. Was really fun being in the same team as them although they're a little shy at first HAHA. They're really really creative! And also ah, my partner also plays a huge part like duhhh, me and sze han = awesome team! LOLjkkkkkkkk but I really thing without sze han our team won't win! So, every member plays a huge part yo! :D







Anyways, after the whole thing ended, stayed back with rina and sherry to help with cleaning up. :D

PICNIC WITH MY GIRLS ON WEDNESDAY!!! :D







Venus kept complaining that she was so hungry while we were waiting for bus at woodlands but I kept telling her that we gotta EAT WHEN WE REACH ECP SO THE MOOD WILL BE THERE AND IT'LL BE MORE ROMANTIC LOL. By the time we reached, we're all like half dead cause we're so hungry.... HAHAHHAA. but better right! When you're in the hungry mode, everything you eat automatically turns heavenly LOL so I did a good deed! And the view was really nice............. birds pooping while we're eating... boats that won't move... sweaty joggers and sexy old man riding bicycles. cool or.... nvm LOL

Went to cycle afterwards and I swear I don't like people who cycles like as if there's not tomorrow cause VENUS AND LIJING BOTH CYCLE UNTIL LIKE THE WORLD IS GOING TO END LIKE THAT T_T AND I HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO CATCH UP!!! venus told me I look like a small girl struggling with a huge bike trying to catch up with my parents whose all the way in front(?) wth.
I FEEL INSULTED!!!!!! nahjk, i suck in cycling LOL! ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TO CYCLE FAST LIKE THEM!!!!!! My gear was at 4 7 and I really cycled really fast already but they're just.... TOO FAST T_T lesigh. In my entire life, I only cycled like....4 times? I actually used to have a phobia of cycling cause I'M THAT CLUMSY AND EVERYTIME WHENEVER I HAVE TO TURN I WILL HIT SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's like just 1/2 of the gap between me and jing+venus :( I really had to pedal damn fast to catch up with them, T_T 


the first time was when i was cycling and i fell down.... then i lost my front tooth T_T. 2nd time was when I was cycling with jing and keith from my p6 class in 2011 and jing made me fell down T__T and I hurt my knees!! D:< The 3rd time was when I went cycling with raphael a few months back! So far, nothing happened that time, THANK GOD! and the 4th time, which is yesterday! Yesterday was the MOST TIRING cycling experience EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we cycled like 2 hours straight with just 1 5mins break in between at some random.... place T_T..... I really had a hard time cycling!!! I really cycle until so damn fast already but jing and venus cycled at a much much faster speed. argh!!!! But I had fun ^^ it was really fun! :D and since I had a hard time trying to catch up, I went to focus on the scenery instead LOL. MAYBE THAT'S WHY I CAN'T CATCH UP HAHAHAHA oh well, idk! I think it's really very sweet if your boyfriend brings you to ecp and cycle LOL. especially to the places that venus led us to yesterday! It was quite... ulu BUT THE VIEW WAS JUST.... HEARTWARMING!!!!!  :')
*note to future boyfriend: if we ever go cycling and you cycle at a mad speed, i'll kill you!!!!

LOL FEEL SO DUMB TO INSERT THE LINE ABOVE BUT, HAHAHAHAH! anyways, after the 2 mad hours, we finally went to return the bikes and thank God we didn't rent 4 hours -.- My whole body was shaking after the 2 hours and I was so so so jelly. Even supporting myself was hard cause I WAS SO TIRED AND DRAINED OUT LOL. Went to enjoy the the sunset afterwards and made many many nonsensical videos LOL!!!!! Had dinner and did the makan cheer! ^^ went back to woodlands and venus went to breaktalk to buy bread LOL. Home sweet home next! :D so now...... for the rest of the pictures.... >:D
