081130 :: N Church

Woke up at 11 sth, finished the Profile Paper, and went out...

Tkz jEz for getting me the tourism office address... The China network is really crap!! Can't load even their local websites... Anyway, out, chatted with mom during the journey, and being cut off several times by China Mobile, the BEST network in China!!

By pass the HKSAR "embassy" in BJ and took a photo for it!! HAHA, quite funny!! and the Office looks quite nice too!! There was a cantonese food restaurant next to the building... Will it taste good? Is it run by HK cooks? ERM.... But I didnt try out finally...

Got to the tourism to grab all the tour guides and publications to prepare for Dong's final paper... Erm... Cant believe there can be so much and it's really Heavy...!! The office is next to 什剎海... Today is the first time for me visiting this place in daytime... Its interesting to watch these Chinese people doing around in the open area... Flying kites, Practising Chinese Calligraphy, Dogs, Sports... Real funny

Took the bus to the N Church, but it tooks me quite a long while to walk there... It looks really nice, and had some Chinese style on its architecture.... Saw that the mass will be at 6pm, so keep waiting and wandered around... Ate some snacks in the shops close by, and bought some chestnut at a show which loads of people were lining up... It taste quite good... Alright, if I had time, let me come over and get some for mom on Thur!! =) Back to the church half at 5.20pm (I think this is the first time in my life of going to sunday masses so early)... The choir is practising the gospel in a mandarin version... Why did that lady always sooooo high pitch? urgh...

Tonight, I accidentally bought a pair of high heels!! >< I really didnt intend to buy anything, but I just get into the shop, due to my curiosity of knowing about the local brand which looks a bit like lesaunda in HK, then there's crazy sale saying the high heels cost just $120 pairs!! I saw one which looks really nice, and my curiosity again drives me to try it... just to check how comfortable can these CHEAP shoes can be... Then, O... It looks really nice... so I tried for my size... which I do not relli fit in both 35 and 36... and the sales was so nice that she brought me a new shoes pad to try with the 36... and it fits well!! And looks very cool with my black pants!!! URGH... then... I found out that it indeed cost $240... Struggled for so long if I should buy this pair of high heels that I may have nowhere to wear!! But, brought finally.. and keep having a complex feeling of guilty and happiness... =="

Today's Highlight...

She treated us a buffet lunch at an italian cafe... at the E gate... Taste gd... Marcus asked about her husband, and she told us that her husband died 3 years ago in a car accident... We were so embrassed, even she said she's alright... yet, she said during that year she cannot work and moved to the states... Really sorry to hear about that...

0200 Education Seminor of Boeing...

And keep saying that I did well in the 2 presentations in his class... Tkz... Anyway, he said I can change my topic from "designing beijing welcome pack for foriegn students" to "designing welcome pack for GBJ students in tsinghua"...

081126 :: My Phone Dropped into the 馬桶

Didn't go for Hot topics, didn't go for mandarin elementary class
Slept till 11...

Did some studies, facial, dorm, and DROPPED MY PHONE INTO THE TOILET in my room...
From my email to mom on the my bad luck,

"Well, I dropped my mobile phone into the TOILET!!
And luckily it was the toilet at my dorm, I was brave enough to pick it up from the 馬桶...

Ai, I was taking off my shorts and I heard "Bom" then I turn around and saw it inside that hole... Grab it with my hand, and washed it at the sink.. Then, I thought... Should I dry it? That's electonics, supposed shouldn't be washed like a dish...

Wasted many tissue papers to dry it, but I can here there's water inside the phone...
Keep waving with it at my hand, and water drops keep slashing out from the phone... I finally ends up putting it in front of my hairdryer for 1.5 hours... This is really a miracle... it still function...

Though I am really bad luck in these few months in BJ, I beg I am blessed somehow... if it was dropped the public toilet here in BJ... I wonder if I will still grab it back.."

Back GBJ to discuss the news clip presentation with Nikita and Sue...

My Bloomberg account is expired because I haven't been using it like 2 months... Well, got to reactivate it by calling up to the office... so embrassing...

Tkz Gregg Fields your assignment took me like 8 hours to finish it... I spent 6 hours for the essay and 2 hours for the 5 min presentation which I hope you won't forget tomorrow...

Whole day in my room, working... with SNACKS!!

Cooked a Crap dinner tonight... Dumplings got rotten (I think coz I didnt put them in freezer)... accidentally opened the can mushroom soup... but not with a can openner... See how 'barbarian' I like!! It took me like 20 minutes to get the can of soup poured into the container... I MUST BUY A CAN OPENER SOON!! So, guess what I made finally?? "Cream Soup Undo"!!! It's something inside tomoko matsuzono's lunch box which I had been envying for a year. I remembered I told dad, but he said he don't know how to cook this dish!! Anyway, since I as to hungry and I believe plainly the soup cannot feed me full, I decided to throw the undo there and that's how it's made!! Looks awful but taste alright woh!! Maybe I was really TOO hungry!!

081123 :: Mom's 1st HW done...

Finally sent out mom's hw in the morning...

Cooked my lunch, and was mad that all the meat was rotten... End up with a tuna fish tomato source pasta there... ARGH!!! Anyways, real hungry and finished the WHOLE bowl... be frank, it taste not THAT good.. I missed my ham!!! and I beg I need to get some tomatoes back!!

Took some rest again, and go to church... Na, I was NOT late finally...

Had a 康師父牛肉面 as dinner, and go straight back to Wudoukau to see my massage master... My should feels like breaking... Very Very painful... >< Had a 1.5 hour massage and back dorm with a pack of Korean snack!! The miffy tissue is for jEz!!

081122 :: Tsinghua Singing Contest

Drunk last night, and woke at 6 waiting for the morning hot water =="

Upload Hongzhou and ApLiuSt photos on facebook... See how drunk I am, updating album which should had done more than half a year ago...

Slept again till 1500, washed my clothes, and catch up with Sue and Nikita for dining at the W Canteen... Forgot to bring my wallet, which Sue had paid me for my 4 dollars dinner... ARGH... had tomato egg, my favorate dish...

Arrived the Old Hall quite early, but there was a long queue outside... it's cold, and we have to wait till the doors open... ARGH!! POOR!! Anyway, was really excited to discover how this Old Hall look like inside... HAHA.. Singing Contest in Tsinghua, must be interesting...

The show started at 1910... and it's like 3+ hours long... Naaa.. many local students got to missed their hot water curfer at 2300!! The show is really entertaining... Nearly all were male participants, and some sang really well... One can handle Jacky Cheung's song so well!!

The overall standard is so-so... and I was amazed buy a guy singing 家駒's 海闊天空 in Mandarin... Let me give you a brief idea down here:
"gun tin woh... hong yeah nu kan suet piao gwoh... wai juet leng kuet liu di xin woh piao yuen fong... fung yu nu jiao gang... ...."
It's too amazing that even Sue (brazil) and Nikita (russia) started to discuss what language is this song supposed to be!! LALAALAAA~~~!!! Laughed die me!!

Another guy wore his track suit to go on stage... Naaa, he even didn shave and looks real awful... Just like he has just waken up and go down to buy breakfast...

There was a girl performing Beyonance "crazy in love"... O my god again... she dressed "SO SEXY" and juz keep on shaking her body and shout with her inventings notes... Be frank, I cannot regconize when is the real scream or when she was really trying to sing... That's horrible and Sue keep saying that she felt VERY SORRY for this girl who act like this on stage...

The girl from the business school singing "Habenara" (French Song) got the champion... She can really sings, and her song in the heats was "think of me" from Phantom... She deseves the prize =)

Another girl from our school also won the champion on the "original composer" section... She made her song, and the lyrics, and performed... She's sweet, and love her voice loads...

Enjoy loads of this funny show.. erm.. Tsinghua TQ... INTERESTING!!

081121 :: GBJ class gathering

Woke up at 9 in the morning and got back to GBJ for the talk... Met Sue and Sian outside and they told me that this Korean Talk was not conducted in Eng, nor Chinese... but in very bad Korean tone Mandarin that they cannot understand, and that's y they left the room and sitting on these benches... Accidentally met the PHD Korean man Sunny, so just for my curiosity I asked if Korean guys spit at a practise... DAMN this fucking guy SPIT in front of my by answering my question... Who is he and what the hell did he know what he was doing? Tsinghua, PHD, my facaulty!! I am very ashamed to have such a schoolmate here... of presenting himself of so supremem and disrespectful to others... I dare not to talk to either him or parker from now on!!

Left with Sue and Sian to grab the Concert Tix... We decided to meet up at 1315 at NE gate and go ahead to the silk market... I got a silver bracelet for my black cashmere... I didnt intend to buy it... juz I think it looks quite unique, and I tired, and the shopkeeper was asking me for 240... I said no... and said 40... and turn out dealed at 50... URGH.... Anyway, I am happy.. =)

We walked over to 世貿天階 to burn our time, and wandered around there... Haaa... and found something which is far more amazing than the underwater screen I saw last time... Discovered by Nikita, that's the wonderpark for Chinese kids!! He asked me if I had been to these places when I was young... URGH... prob not!? The he asked, "if you were a kid, do you think you will enjoy to play here?!" hey man that's a philosophical assumption... and I asked him back, which he replied me with a second of thought... "ERM... YES..."


Table was booked at 630 at DaDong... The other 4 leaving from campus were SOOO late... and we have decided to order some while waiting for them... I still find the duck this time taste GREAT!!! It's so delicious...!!! We ordered 2 ducks and some other dishes... Happy meal with my classmate... and we had loads of fun and gossips!! And my classmates (esp the guys) were so happy when the pretty waitress help them to wrap the duckie thing...

Anna brought us to the Russian Rest afterall for dessert and drinks... We had Russian pancakes, Russian Vodka, drinks, snacks, and the vegetable soup... Naaa... I really dont' undertand why this 7 people gang end up finishing 3 bottles of Vodka... I know that I am drunk... Feel so bad of missing the hot water curfew when back dorm, and bad too of drunk!! It's soooo dizzy.... Anna said she would like us to join for clubbing, but becoz though we were drunk, we were still concious, and then we proposed to go back to Tsinghua... 5 stuck inside a TAXI and that Aussie guy keep singing on the way!! Tkz buddies u guys brought me loads of fun!!

081119 :: AIDA Show in BJ!!

Woke at 0700 this morning to make myself showup in Dowling's class... Well, since I missed his writing class last Thur monrning, I am intentionally trying to make him give me and answer on my mid term marks, so does all the other dairy items..

Had the pancake brought from the supermarket at C building for brunch 7RMB, taste not bad =) tried to did some studies but failed, and back to bed AGAIN!! na, I should rest more before the big show...

Woke at 2pm, facial, took a kentucky mean... and started to the BJ Exhibitin Centre for my AIDA Musical... Took MTR to 西直門, got an icecream, and walked for around 20 min to get there...



Amazed when I got to the theatre front... The theatre itself looks like a motel and many people are selling yellow cows tickets at the doorfront... Besides, loads of hawkers well selling binoculars and concert lighter too!! Wierd... I did ask for the price of those binoculars, which the hawkers said it is 40RMB... the quality was so bad, so I left, then they keep asking if I am going to take it for 10RMB... Mad!! Left anyway...

Got inside and saw the souvenior counter of AIDA... Tee, CDs, Mugs, Photo Frame, Brochure... I was only interested in the brochure, but didn't take it, coz it possibly will be throw into a corner of my room if I do buy it... Anyway, a pic here is better than owning it myself...

My seat is on the 30th row, which I thought was at the upper circle... The theatre is a round shape one, quite like Star Hall in HK... I found my seat, which I think, was not really so BAD... I was quite early today, so I wandered around the theatre to take some photos... Erm... you know, before the show, everybody were gathering at the front taking photos of the orchestra's rehersal... quite funny, and quite China... besdies, the 2 screens are keep broadcasting the sponsor company's film clip... ergh...

Yes, musical in BJ is real unique... There were MC on the stage saying how happy they were tobe here... ERGH!! At least 1/3 audiences are foriegers, and near all the people have tried to dress up for the event... Haaaa~~!

The is quite good. The real broadway show, professional performers.. nice songs composed by Elton John... and is quite enjoyable... The story itself is quite simple... Though there's not a memorable song as the musicals from webber lloyd, I do enjoy tonight's performance =)

081118 :: Busy Day again!!

Tuesday is really a busy day...

Ethic class start at 8... Prof Fields said we are going to have make up class next week for the course... Then Econ class... Lunch with Sian, Sue and Nikita at the W Canteen 3F Restaurant~~~ HAHA I had that Egg Yolk Pumpkin dish again =) Then Back GBJ building for Zhou's HW, and her class... Mad, she got us a SUDDEN TEST today... 5 Qs in total, if she's kind enough, probably she will give me a passing mark... Alright, I really don't understand those definitions... Why she teaches like HK's primary school, asking us to keep memorizing and dictation, without explaining things??? Anyway, since I don't know how to do those Qs, I finished the paper in like 5 minutes... haaa.. and SLEPT... then she said students who had finish can leave.. Tkz...

Arrived Ms Chen's house quite early today... it's FREEZINGLY COLD... a minus degree... with strong wind... It took me so much energy to drive to her house... I thought my wheels again has no air, that's y i asked the bicycle doctor if he can help me to pump in air... then he said, "小妹，今天大風，所以你的車只走得慢是正常呀!"... O... Tkz...

Had Hotpot with Ms Chen at nite... I love the tomato soup there!! Taste so great with all the vegetables... besides, cost me not more than 30RMB... =)

Got to Carrefour to buy the moisterizer... There one which is 79RMB, but the sales there said it can only be used for 5 hours... and since there's some problem with the display, i asked her y la, and she told me "ya, these cheap brands are like that... always broke... u shd buy a better one" URGH.... but I am going to use it for 2 years at most... erm... and end up, got one called YADU, whch is nearly 148RMB, which can be used for 10-12 hours... Na, then I can keep it open when I sleep...

See my new toy...

081117 :: study day

whole day kept studying in dorm...

my room is so dry with the heater on >< drank like 1/6 of my new buckle of water, and kept putting cream on my face, my hands and my legs... I hate it!! Alright, I must get a moisterizer into my room ASAP!!

Dinner with food order again... Eel Egg rice, 22 RMB, taste nice too... Lazy to cook today...

081116 :: Excusion in Chaoyang

Planned to get up at 0730, but ends up 2 hours late... Get changed, packed my sheep into my bag, and drive off to the MTR station... Took a picture at the street for the poor bicycles... It looks like a bicycle cemetery, right? I think I will cry if my bicycle is one of the victims... HOW TO PULL IT OUT...?? And, WHO DID THIS??

I planned to go to E church in the morning, but anyway, I WILL be late, so decided to go to the Workers Stadium first for my AIDA ticket on 19 Nov. Travelled like an hour, and the ticket office is VERY HARD to find... And what even more funny is that, they said they don't have my booking (SHIT)... Alright, fixed out finally by getting a new ticket... It cost me 280 for the show, and I got another student tic at 50 for another LOCAL drama... YES, LOCAL...!! so it's in MANDARIN!! Feeling so excited to watch SHOWS in Beijng!!

The Workers Stadium is having a bazzar... Hanged round inside and got some very very cheap stuff... The spoon at 2RMB, gloves at 8RMB (which fit my XS hands), and also a pair of stupid slippers 20RMB... There are also BLUE and BLACK colors for the slipper, and other brands too, ie. NIKE, KAPPA....... MAD... Tried out the new slippers when I back dorm... GREAT, SO WARM =)

Had lunch at a 'Italy' restaurant next to the Workers Stadium... I used quotations here as I think it must taste like BJ style Italian food... Wanted to order a spagetti, but end up with a baked beef rice as there's a 'chef recommended icon' at the menu... took also a vegetable soup... Both taste good =) besides, the restaurant looks nice too!! HAHA, can play a 2nd time visit there!!

Started out my journey to the E Church and accidentally saw an Ad of 張艾嘉's drama showing in early Dec... Interested, and got to ask the price... 380RMB CHEAPEST and sitting at the mountain top... MAD... LEFT of cost except grapping that Ad leaflet to my bag...

E Church looks great, but all the doors are locked.. Mass on Sunday is 0615, 0700, 0800 which are ALL in Mandarin (but one on Sat is in LATIN!) don't think I will go to these early MASSES, but maybe the 1830 one on Sat night will goes alright... Let's see... And both my sheep and I took loads of pictures there...

Walk around in Wangfujeng and bought and ice cream for my sheep at Hargendaz... He said it taste different with HK's midnight cookies, which the cookies here in the Choco ice cream are much larger... Naa...

Back Tsinghua afterall and felt so full until 9pm I cooked my 午餐肉茄汁意秎 for dinner... Caf called for cream puffs and met her at Bldg 23 afterall... Visited Jasmine double room... It feels really like Undergraduate Room in HKU!! Gossip for like 1.5 hrs and back dorm... STUDY!!! ><
