back from china..muz say...really fun..especially with the people there..i think the areas we went to werent really fun la..but well..its an educational trip..so cant expect much ba..wished i shopped more thou..like seriously..first time w/o my mum to reject things i wana buy..sighh....and i din take much much pics..cos well..it got kinda freezing cold for my fingers so i got lazy to take out my camera to take pics...and the heat pack i bought was pretty useless...all along i was really excited for this trip..but funnily..when it was juz the day b4 and even on the day itself..i got really sianz and not looking forward to it...and mayb i thot like deres so little pple im really close wif..yea..i was really thinkin of being on a trip wif my squaddies...one day..we'll all go overseas alright!so yea..and i had plane-sicked..i dunno why..cos when i was young i really like goin on a plane ride..

but well..it turned out really quite well...and those who went became close friends..funny how we always stick to our own table during lessons but realise how everyone is so fun loving actually...ya...and to be honest..i was getting kinda irritated about the teasing bout me and marc...its ok for awhile..juz dun overdo it la..especially when almost everyone had to link everything i say about marc to the teasing...diao...sighh...but well...it din became extremely bad...

to stray abit...my grandma juz called me from my uncle's hse..and asked joshua to talk to me..haha..thou it failed cos he din say anything..but i could hear his laughter and some random noise...im totally happy..and im gonna see him later..whheee.....

ok..back to the trip...shall talk along wif the pics but blogger is taking such a long time...so well..bought a pair of shoes for joshua...and he shall be very honoured cos he's the only one i actually went to choose a present for...thou im really afraid tt his feet cannot fit in..haha..but oh well...and i din bargain for much cos i really have no bargaining powerss..and i kinda hate bargaining...those kind tt muz take so long...u saying this..the shopowner saying that..which repeats and repeats until he accepts ur price..sianz part la...yingen and chen yi are really good bargainers thou..apart from my mum.but i like their tactics rather than my mum..haha...first bargaining kind of flea market...the owners were really desperate i think lo...its kinda scary..everywhere u go..deres people trying to entice u into their shop..den like u take a slight interest in their stuff u kena pulled in already...for this time..usually the "forget it then" tactic works...even when we din expect to be called back..and the second one..had really lots of angmohs...and the shopkeeper hardly shout out what they sell...and dey treat the angmohs better..thou its understandable cos the angmohs are willing to pay more...bought 3earrings for myself too..happyhappy..oso not much bargaining..and of all times..shermin HAD to pull the 2 bargainers away to the toilet...so waste of their talents when i needed one...but well..i like the earrings la..and hope im interested in them long enuf..cos im bored of my old ones already..haha...

ok..bought a pair of shoes from a proper shopping mall too..and niceynicey..i like...bought them on my first day in tianjin..and wanted to go dere again..nice departmental store...and the 2nd day we reached..we culd blow smoke out already..haha...got so excited..and i wanted to take photo of it but din have the chance cos culdn see the smoke from the cam..
and the food dere at first is really salty and oily..like REALLY...mayb soot will like it loads..haha..but well...too much for us to eat much...and became less as the days goes..cos tink the tourguide asked them to add less..and dere were lots of prawns in tianjin but hardly any in beijing..

and we had a prawn party on our last night in tianjin..really delicious prawns dabaoed from the restaurant thou it was cold..my 10days in china was really unhealthy...eating all those rich food...wif cup noodles at night and no exercise...wah...and macs and kfc..haha..if i was wif my mum..or family anyway..dey will all call me silly for wanting to eat fastfood dere...juz to try sth diff mah..and the egg tarts at kfc is really delicious...plus the mcwings from macs..v nice..haha..the chicken from kfc tastes the same actually...actually the mcwings oso la..haha..and actually i wanted to try sth diff from chinese food for our proper meals lo..its really sianz eating those kind of bout 10 course meals every lunch and dinner...

one day we went to the large bookstore where the cds dere were REALLY Cheap...haha..i was at first so sianz we goin to bookstore cos i dun buy books..the eng books cos ard the same actually..thou i tink the chinese books are pretty cheap...ok..back to topic..i bought devil beside u..even thou i watched b4..haha..ok..call me crazy..cos its my current craze...and i tink mike he is really suai in such shows..haha..really really...ok..so i bought tt..and i watched yesterday...and sadly...they CUT out some scenes!!!!!!i tink it wasn meant to be one..cos dere are quite impt..thou i doesnt affect the story much..but STILL!!..so sad la..sighh..hope hte rest of the episodes dun have cut out scenes...oh yea..and it cost bout 6bucks+..for DVD..according to them...super cheap right...it was after 20% discount oso..haha..and i bought a jay chou album(even thou i already got the songs)..for 9bucks....so cheap right..it came wif a 2008 calendar...haha..yumyum..hope deres nth wrong wif the album..ok

oh..and the pollution problem is really quite bad..plus the smokers dere...-faints-..especially the bus driver...wna strangle him la..the tianjin bus driver was much better than the beijing one..cos he's friendly..thou he oso smokes and stink up the bus..not as bad as the beijing one..who always stink up the bus everytime we finish our meal..and he's really ap...wth...he shouted at us for making too much noise..and we actually din hear at the back..and he also everytime so blackface...so irritating..still muz give him complusory tips(i dun get lo..) so much...mayb tts why he so big...cos we gotta give him the money...even thou the bus was nicer..i wud prefer sitting in the tianjin bus..haha...i actually thot the beijin bus driver was a stranger once when he was in our midst..and i told ice i always get quite wary when i see a stranger among the group of us..den ying en said he was the bus driver actually..haha..so funny..ok..
