Im bored....

Finally managed to submit my IA report to my professor alr. Now wk day nites are so much more carefree, cold n a little boring. Watched another movie last nite, Mountain Patrol. Its super sad la; pple try to stop poachers to prevent Tibetan antelopes from extinction but outside world bo chap. Until most of the 伟大 volunteers get killed and get written abt by a journalist was action taken. Think tonite will start my 1 litres of tears marathon since i realli got nothing else to do (n its short too).

Facebook is jus amazing. Long lost frenzs and pictures all up. Jus like this one below during NS. Realised i nvr took any pics during that period. Now come to think of it very sad lor, nothing to remember those memorable times by.

Lifes like this...

Been a long time since i last updated this bloggie. Really busy changing my IA report to my boss's liking. U know its supp to be more like she jus check that i did not mention any confidential info but she went the extra step to correct my english n ask me to "beautify" my graph. I was like hur...anyway she was so enthu that she even called me on Thursday nite at 8pm to go thru the report with me. Think im already on my 6th draft already...hopefully monday she would jus accept it...All the others had their reports vetted more like a read-thru style one, minimal correcting. So lesson learnt, when your boss is highly educated (10yrs teaching experience plus Doctorate), yup expect the unexpected from her. Almost like doin a GP essay and making sure u have no sweeping statements inside... *bleach*

Goin down to 16 铺 later to make a suit...jianqing say get the Ocean's 13 one best liao...ya well will see how ba...one of our GIP mates have gone back liao..had a farewell at Bon Bon...freeflow house pours for 24sing...yup its cheap... tonite gg to RX bday party...KTV session with buffet...woohooo...gettin fat here i cant believe it...jus bought a pair of Levi's jean (of course chiong one la) for 16sing...i had to wear a size 34!!! OMG OMG OMG...lots of training to do liao, still got ippt to settle when i get back...

Watched American Gangster jus now...uber long movie...had Denzel Washington in as Frank Lucas the drug kingpin in the 70s...not bad a show jus that the build-up was a little too slow for my liking...watched Quil too...manz the dog is soooo cuteeeee....

Its jus shorts

Long time since i managed to wake up early on a Sat. So i decided to go down some breakfast for me-self. Thou abt the tau sa n radish bao so went down in shorts. How who i have known that this ang mo b4 me would buy 4 tau sa n 5 radish bao. So hungry me bo pian, decided to walk over to the market at far far Du Juan road market to buy breakie n see see. Long time since i actualli walked there plus i was not exactly equipped for the weather this mornin. Checked the forecast n highest temp today was 14degrees (good job la), than the cold wind blowin was disgustinly cold.

So i started walkin over, than along the way got loads of pple starin at me la. So easy to tell from their *who-is-this-mad-老外-in-shorts-in-the-cold" expression walking around like it was summer. Kk so i got looks for at least 3 dozens pple along the way jus because i wore shorts (hey no biggie ma!!!). Bought my tau sa n radish bao at the market n walked ard the place a bit. Realli like lookin at the daily lifestyle of the common pple on another Sat mornin at the market. Realli get to see a variety of pple la, pple rushing to n fro, lots of life stocks n cheap cheap food. Found this confectionary tat sold chicken burger for only 4rmb (the ususal places all sell 6rmb lor)!!! Seein such a steal i jus had to sink me teeth into such a yummi treat...yup yup...another whole day of being at home for the rest of the household as they have their final burst for their reports. Im done with mine, jus tat DOCTOR Linda is lookin thru it now, hope not too many amends to be done cause a expectations is lets jus say not on a humanly scale of 1-100.

Nothing better to do...

Ya n dont drink too much...u might jus end up like one of these pumpkins...happi belated Halloween!!!

Pizza buffet...

Today had our class presentation on 环境消费于污染. So each of us had to give a 3min talk abt the topic frm the text we had. Haha the prof said our presentation better than expected which was a good thing cause we were basically crappin most of it i guess. Totally no link to the passage lei. Than afternoon we went over to a after care ctr for kids. It was qte a long trip there n we were feeling alittle turn off by the fact. But we already told the prof we interested sometime back, so aft all the effort she put into organising it we had to show a little respect rite.

Well we came to this realli suburb style part of shanghai tat i nvr really seen b4. There in the mist of the filth n shophouses there was this catholic care ctr. Lots of kids (abt pri 6 at most) were there, some playin in the foyer; cards la, badminton, their version of zero pt, skippin (wa they super zai la), soccer (they more interested in bbball i felt) while others were in the house playin chess, n learnin songs in english. Dont know wat to do at 1st but in the end we pretty much settled in n all of us played with the kids. I was stuck playin with this boy called tao pi pi i think, he was learnin to spin the ball on his finger frm me...hahaha..not very successful thou...than later on played badminton for the longest time w another kid...played till now my forearm seems to be having some suan suan feelin now...think old liao...not like b4...cant keep up w their energy la...the initial "im wastin my time feelin there" quickly tuned to fulfillment knowin that we made the day of some kids at the child care. *smilez*

There was this Slovakian who was there helpin out. Chatted w him abit aft the volunteer job. Apparently he is in Fudan doin his Phd in Psychology b4 teachin in Fudan cause profs there need a Phd b4 they can work there. Nice chap who played the guitar while the kids sung, n his chinese it really gd considerin his been in china i think 4yrs?!? Anyway, 1st time i talked to someone frm eatern europe. Gip has really been a global experience.

Did i mention tat at nite we went for pizza buffet...OMG..it was sooo cheap!!! $9.8 for a buffet...think got 10 types of pizzas (only know they were really cheesy...overload on cheese than ingredients lor), lots of real meat, no bones n fats like all the stingy restaurants n office food we been eatin...salad bar, fruits la, drinks (got Tiger n funny tasting wine), ice-cream n shiok shiok fried foodie...talked abit aft tat over aft the meal than walked ard the People's Sq aft tat to digest the food...manz so full think i ate my breakfast n lunch for the next day...if u noticed the time...im still typin the post now cause too full to sleep...haha...and the trio of Beneb, Gary n Yanwen still on their Korean serial...

1 more essay n IA report...research on Beijing trip than back to Spore on the 23th dec...everythings moving whop speed now...

Wk 17 lo...

This weeks been really crazy...on sun we went to play soccer at the cui tennis court at our place but were interrupted by the security who insisted that pple were complainin abt us playin there...I mean if we were nosiy than we deserved to leave but than we were not and no one is playin on the court (noticed i mentioned the cui part; no net n uneven surface, surely no one uses it, so we shld be thanked for helpin them maximise their resources. Instead those pea brained securities keep askin us to leave the tennis court cause its NOT FOR SOCCER...Being here almost 4mths than they nvr say much, suddenly got "complains" frm mysterious houses...seriously if china continues to be so inflexible think its gg to b a long time b4 they realli progress...

Been tryin to make a clear solution the whole wk but to no avail...Linda's style is totally depended on her mood...one moment she is nice the next she starts pickin on everthing u do...well at else when i get back i wld have graduated w a Masters in "anti-niao'in tactics"...

Everyone's so busy with work this week, chinese presentation this Fri on 消费环境 for 3 mins plus an essay on 儒家思想 n 西方与东方教育 due next wk...the planned pizza buffet thats supp to be aft work tml suddenly off liao like tat cause everyone in a mad frenzy to finish tat n IA report...

Beneb n Swee Meng jus got their gym memebership for a mth...gg to see 2 incredible Bulks when we go back liao....Benerd( wen sisters colleague) invited us over to his place for some pilates class...think Gary super interested but no one to go w him so he nvr go for the lesson tonite...So cold at nites now that im wearing gloves n socks to sleep, not forgettin my 2 tops (darn forgot to bring my thick winterwear n track pants)...ya winter gg to have fun liao...
