Met up with Hoey before 8 in the morning, and we had breakfast at the Motel... Haa, I got 2 breakfast coupon with me. Anyway, checked out after breakfast and he drove me back to my dorm and dropping off my luggage.
He then got me to the 6th Building and left me for the registry. Totally lost on the route and things that I have to do. No direction sign, no clear tips on what I need to do... TIC*TIBJ!!! Finally figure out where to get my IC Card (Student Card) and started my queue there in the building's 1/F... Mad, so many people, and so messed up!! No Signs, no system... blaaa... anyway, the long waiting experience got me a pretty friend from Hunan, who's coming here for a doctoral degree. She's sooooo nice, and I really dunno how come she can communicate with me with me CRAPPY MANDARIN...
We do the registration together, and I stay with her for her BJ ID Card (coz she's not BJ people, she need to apply for the BJ ID; while that my 會鄉證 is indeed = BJ ID... so premium!) Afterall, she goes with me to my department, looking for my subject staff and asking them on what I have been missing out to do. Unfortunately my subject coordinator is out of office...
Afterall, she suggested me to have lunch with her. We walked to her dorm at #31, and she was in a double room. The environment of her dorm is not too good. There was a 2 level bed made with iron steel, and she has already settled down... Her roomate was there, who just arrived the room, and feeling shocked with the it... She said, "So we are going to live in this room for 5 years?" ya, should be 5 years for their doctoral degree... and I really cannot imagine if that's happened to me. There was also a toilet in their room, which was quite dirty... I saw a shower, yet Ann told me that it doesn't have hot water. That means, they need to go to the common bathroom in case they need to bath (I will further explain this when I tried out later, as I also got the bath card!!) Gosh!
I have dropped my heavy folder on Ann's table, and there we go to the canteen for food. The gal is really nice, keep saying that she will pay the meal... Maybe I really look so young and she thought I am really sister of hers... The food in the canteen is cheap, and taste not too bad... Indeed, I think it will take some time for me to try out everything there... Anyway, that's really a nice experience to dine out there... So China, and so much of what a real canteen should look like...
We bypassed the supermarket near the dorm and bought some daily neccessities. She also got me a yogurt cup as "dessert" =) We walked back to her dorm and took some rest. There she found her email account number, and took out her notebook and tried to log on to the internet. Seems Tsinghau server has blocked quite a lot of the worldwide links... She even lent me her notebook for fun and taught me on QQ songs... HAHA, she's so sweet, right?
Since my subject staff has called me to pick my email account number in that afternoon at her office, I left Ann and go back to the GBJ building. Finally met the nice lady who has helped me on so many things especially my accomodation. Thanks her, and double check with her on anything else I have missed out. She asked me to go for body check tomorrow morning off campus... and that also solved my internet enquiries...
I walk straight to the Main Building and paid a big amount for the unlimited internet access in the coming 5 months. Afterall, I walked back to Ann's place. She invited me to go to the big supermarket with her outside the school, and since Hoey has dated me too dinner with the HK-ers, we are in quite a hurry... This is the first time I tried the school bus at Tsinghua... Haa, seems quite OK... Finally arrived the E Gate and we walked straight to the supermarket. I bought some cleansing stuff for doing a thorough cleaning of every part of my room. It was quite amazing to stay wif local people, whom they will introduce you lockers, and also the promotions of the store... Afterall, we took Taxi back to block 31, and after packing my things together, I farewelled Ann and started off to my room... God! It's SOOO far and I saw no school bus and taxi. I finally made out of walking back with a heavy box of stuff I just bought today. Beg I gonna be much healthier with these harsh training at Tsinghua...
I started off tidying my room, and Hoey called by asking me to go for the dinner. God! The restaurant was at the SW area, while that I am at the NE. How come Hoey didn't come to pick me? =( Spent some time to catch a taxi downstairs, and was half an hour late when I arrived the restaurant. There I saw around 20 HK-ers, either doing their master or doctoral degree, and also Teacher Tung. Got some new friends and we dated to go to IKEA the next day...
Jennifer got me a ride back to my dorm... Keep tidying my room and took a nice shower at the bathroom... Heeeh, feel so comfortable at the dorm... Tried to login to the internet but failed. Finally start off with my TVB soap opera, and called somebody asking how to flip over the screen ==" Tkz! Finally had a gd sleep with my sheep tonight =)
PS - I have joined the Phoenix miles yesterday, as I believe I will be a frequent CA passenger!! HAAA!!!
