HA.
Am in my hotel room now, using Cass' laptop to type out this post while she's bathing.
Well so far its been awesome since departure. All the GC students are so nice and we get long quite easily. The weather is so darn cold! Apparently bringing tees was a bad idea, because the material is so thin. Plus, I had no gloves, so I borrowed em' from Cass. But you don't get cold weather often so its nice for a change, plus, it snowed! But only briefly, like a few minutes or so.
The food here is ABSOLUTELY greasy! Even the veggies. I was grossed out. I am SO going to go on a diet when I come back.
OH and we climbed the Great Wall of China today! Initially, Mr Kubo, myself and some guys were leading, but then it was getting a little late so Mr Kubo and I decided to stop, but Ernie, a guy from my class ( who is half Chinese, half Thai by the way), along with the boys decided to trudge their way up to the highest peak. I stopped at the second highest peak.
Climbing the Wall was horribly tiring. The steps were uneven and they can be real steep. And my short legs basically struggled to climb them. I was sweating when I reached the top. The view is AMAZING by the way. But my stupid camera died out before that and I didn't have the charger, so I just used my handphone camera.
Then some of us got small engraved certificate-cum-plate that declared we managed to scour our way up 888m of the Great Wall. COOLIOS. Oh and I got a dry cough from scaling the Wall because the air there was cold and dry.
Then we went to Mr Tea's Teahouse and we were introduced the to the background of different kinds of tea. I bought Pu'er, Oolng and White tea - authentic , may I add - then we ate greasy dinner which turned me off.
Tomorrow, tai'chi and visiting the rehab centre and old folks' home.

Am leaving in 9 hours for the airport. I intend to go for Spanish class today because if I miss this lesson, then I won't my certificate. It'll be a waste if I don't, since I already got my Spanish Beginners cert last year.
And I can say my farewells to Jean ( whose real name is Le Heng ) and I got her some good bye chocolates, and Kate and Matthew Sidgwick, and Yasmin, and Francisca and the NS boys in my class.
And dear old singing-smiling Señor Portilla.
Oh and and I just HAVE to say this:
my sister has gotten a date. I kid you not. My anti-social, and stuck up sister managed to hook herself up a date with a guy, from NUS, whom she met on Facebook.
Seriously.
It's a world gone mad.

1 more day til I depart for Beijing, at 0015hrs.
I shall sleep on the way there I think.
I hope I've packed enough shirts and socks.
Had trip briefing today in the morning at 10am.
Supposed to go and eat with my classmates after it ended but I didn't.
Went back to pack some stuff.
I'm left with my winter jackets and vitamins. I think.
But I'm not sure what type of cardigan to bring though.
I'll just bring both.
It's like the rule of shopping: if you can't decide between 2 items, get them both.
Returning on the 4th of April.
Need to meet Shi on the 5th of April.
Back to school for GL activity on the 6th of April.
I'm feeling kinda tired right now. Don't know why, but yeah.
Shall.

Miss Dior Cherie combines pure couture spirit with the audacity of youthful, playful notes for a fresh approach to a timeless classic. Notes of chic, green tangerine, violette, and pink jasmine mingle with soft patchouli, musk, and delectably sweet strawberry leaves and caramelized popcorn for a delicious scent that's truly irresistible.
Hmmm.
Give me a bottle and I will love you forever.

Darn it. There's GL Camp tomorrow at 8am tomorrow ! I'm gonna be so dead. Plus I have dance in the evening which means I'm gonna be bushed.
Oh. And did I mention that project consultation today was crap? We didn't follow the "possible fields and titles", created our own questions and had cross wires with other groups' proposed sub topics.
Bugger.
Whoo today I was on bus 70 to Serangoon MRT and I was looking out the window and nearing the bus stop, and this European guy caught my eyes . Blonde hair. Smokey and green eyes. Tall and fit. My heart immediately started pounding like crazy.
It's my reflex. I see a good looking European male and I basically drop dead.
He sat the the back of the bus but got off at Serangoon station, and I got a closer and better look at him, and I marvelled at how annoyingly good looking he is. He was carrying a textbook and I glimpsed at the cover title " Physics"
PHYSICS. Mighty Good God, he's a student! But he looks like he's 20! DARN. The horrid thing was that he was walking super fast and I was desperately trying to keep up. I swear, he must be play soccer in his spare time, since soccer players are constantly on the move and must be quick in their steps and all.
What a turn on.
But he went to the end of the aisle and I stayed near the escalator so that was that.
Oh and yesterday I was jogging and decided to go the park to stretch and before I even stepped into the park I immediately noticed a European guy doing sit ups at one of the stations with his friend. AND he's Swedish! I know this, because I recognize the accent. God he was gorgeous.
Brown hair, check. BLUE EYES, check. Tall, check. Man arms, check. Ooh and with sweat glistening down his body and his hair dripping with bright droplets of it.
He got up from the bench. He did a hastring stretch. He swept his hand through his hair. He smiled at his friend and said something. Then.
And I saw heaven.
He removed his shirt to reveal a sweaty glistening torso, perfectly, gorgeous and lean and chiseled with muscle.
Right then and there at that very moment, my knees immediately gave way and I bumped into this old lady walking with her groceries and she gave me a dirty look. I was totally embarrassed, but still! Oh my god that was the first time it happened in my life. Gosh what's wrong with me? I'm such a schmuck.
Okay, so so so I went to school for project meeting before the consultation. I was reading a book, and these 2 students - a guy and a girl - were behind me. And they were speaking like really loudly.
The annoying part was that this girl was talking about sports bras to the guy and she went "Do you think I should buy a sports bra? I heard that if you wear a sports bra, its bad because your boobs will bounce."
Erm, hello missy? Can I just SAY that the whole POINT of wearing a sports bra is so that the little twins WON'T be going up and down and getting all dizzy and excited?
The weird thing was that the guy pointed that out and even recommended her where to get sports bras! Seriously how does he even KNOW, where to get them? He said they come in XS, S, M, L and XL and I almost burst out laughing. Honey, bra sizes come in alphabets and numbers. Not just XS or M please. Sheesh.
I had a weird dream 2 nights ago. I dreamt that I had a boyfriend and I christened him James. It was weird, because I was thinking of names that morning, you know, like which names sound masculine and and James was at the top of my list.
