081224 :: BJ Day Tour... Great Wall + 798

Woke up at 6sth and got onto Jen's Taxi, then hang round with Jen, Fanny, Carmen and Hon in BJ for the whole day...

We first got to the Great Wall to see the Snow... 慕蓉峪 this time, and I beg this is the part of the Great Wall which I had visited 8 years ago~~~ @@"














Walk up and played the slide thing down... Coz there's no much people there, we had loads of fun of taking great pictures.. HAAAA~~~!!! I think is is better than 八達嶺 much much more, and indeed nearly all the tourist there were HK people... heard quite a lot of Canton all the morning~~~ =) Besides, happy of using the 1/2 price student ticket~~















Went to 798 afterall and hang around... Free entrance for students at the Dior Show... Naaa... the show is amazing... presentation of Dior's fashion in the past century... pity that photo shooting is NOT allowed!! huuh~ Saw the souvenior Caf kept mentioning, and we all think it's ugly of costing 200 RMB a pair... Keep hanging around and left to DaDong for dinner...

The gang were amazed and happy with the food there!!! Haaa... Duck again for the 3rd time!! Anyway... we had roasted duck for Xmas dinner... cool!! And I found out it's only me who loved that sweet 蓮藕 dish... huhuhu... OK, left there by metro and I back dorm to prepare for the next day trip to Harbin...

081223 :: Busy day again but massage

Feeling kind of sore with my body today...

8am ethic class... then econ class... and back dorm becoz I have to pick a parcel at Bldg 2... Had a quick pancake lunch from the supermarket... then go back for the business writing class...

Didnt had mandarin class as I was really TOO tired... HAHA... and gone for massage.. I can feel that my should has broke...

Had Mcdonald and back dorm at 830... Then prepared for next day's activity...

081222 :: dEv's FIRST skiing experience...

Been to Namshan today with Jen, Fanny, Carmen, Hon and Caf for skiing...




Jen got me the Snow Pants and we catch up with the Namshan bus at 830... aaaaah got to the site... and it's relli BIG... feeling kind of worry as this is the fist time for me to ski... they asked if we would like single or double board, and 3 of us go for snowboard, while the other 3 were in skiing... got dressed and felt REAL BAD with the snow shoes... relli cant walk with them on my feet...

We booked 3 hrs tutor for skiing in the morning... Fanny, Caf and I were in the same group for the double board... with 2 stick on our hands... we did warm up exercise, learnt how to get on with our slide and some safety precautions... haa.. quite funny... The hardest thing I beg is to learn how to stop when on a steep slope... After trying back on forth, I think I can slide a little bit...

Lunch at the "western" restaurant and had some spagetti, and snacks... got out again, where Carmen and Hon return to their snow board training; Jen, Fanny and Caf prefer to take pictures around; and me, keep yawning that I shd go up to the mountain... Since no one bother with me, I go up along finally ==" Indeed, I met a Porturgese old man on the cable car, and he took care of me for the for the journey.. We tried the EASY route twice... and for the first time, I fell onto the ground of NOT knowing how to get into my slide... he came back and saved me.. HAHA...

The route is fine for beginners, long but relli not too steep... Seeing all the kids skiing in front of me, I do think I shd practise more... Anyway, joined the 3 gals for taking photos at a snowy slope... We even tried to climb up that slope!! HAAA.. big fun... looking for photos at Caf's camera...













Hot pot at night in a place which is kind of out of nowhere.. URGH... taste no relli great... missing 海底撈 now...

081221 :: -14 degree hard working day

Woke by jen's call at 10, asking me to go to the Zoo//
I asked, is it the real zoo? and of coz not... she and fanny were going to the zoo market for leggings... alright... anyway, not going out... and she kept telling me how cold it is outside..

Worked on Dowling's exam paper... I took the paper B which had a total of 5 Qs... Each Qs need to write 200-500 words, but it was like nowhere to start... I took nearly an hour to understand the Qs, many more hours for research... and many many more for finishing the task... MAD!!! It was very very difficult... Ya, I think he got a good exam paper for us, the Global Business Journalism students, but it was really too much for me!! Anyway, happy that I finished all by myself, without asking help from anybody... alright... I didn't cheat!!... Gonna send him this earlier this time!!!

Cooked Undo at dorm and used mom's satay sauce... added in onion and honey sausage slices... Indeed I think it looks quite nice, rite? =) HAAAA... but I like the taste of spicy soya sauce + oyster sauce more... which taste more like home style food!!!

081220 :: Yum Cha~~!!!

Woke early and catch up with the coach at 930, E gate, for the HK society Yum Cha... They said the place is close to 三元橋, yet I still duno where it is!! Anyway~~

The resturant is called 唐宮... Hoey said its opened by the same boss in the hk branh... HAAA.. since it's free lunch, we DID ate loads... HAHA... naaa, see, food filled the whole table... the dim sum there taste OK only, not as good as those in HK... ERM... some taste a bit wierd and generally quite oily... Anyway... still happy coz its FREE!!














Back dorm and back to my work... ARGH!!! Finished business writing final paper, which I beg I relli wrote a good piece... huuuuu~~~

Anyway, take a look on the Christmas pressie I bought myself... (high heels again)... will bring back to HK for sure as it's in BABY PINK!! Haa.. Gave an excuse for myself that I will wear it in CNY... 200+ but its relli relli pretty... Seems I am pretty sick of buying high heels...

081219 :: My interview with a market analyst

Woke up early and got to Guamao to meet up with Pete for interview... We had lunch ad a Jap noodle shop and he gave me loads of informative answer on my Qs towards the 4 trillion plan... So nice =) He's so kind and explained loads to me...

Anyway, started to go home but saw an exhibition which is called "A 30-year history: exhibition on China's opening up" at the exhibition centre nearby... jump inside coz it's free and spent nearly 3 hours there... haaa.. gd thing again, which gave me a brief introduction on how China has modernized... indeed, many of the information has been came across during dong's class...

Got some agnis b pencils and back to dorm for hw...

Cooked myself a Borsh for dinner... haha campbell canned food only but taste quite good =) and see my DRIED bread... erm... relli dried... but matched well with my soup~~~ Hard work dEv...

Late for Dowling's class becoz of his xmas pressie... HAAA.. i bought him a tree and asked the whole class to write a note for him on a piece of A4 paper, and put the paper inside the cylinder cone box for the tree... looks relli pretty... and he was surprised and cried for our tree...

Mad at Jonnathan, the African guy, who gave me a note of saying that I made such an ugly paper for Dowling to sign up on the behalf of our class... he know's nth, juz commeng on my paper, and i beg he's really rude... Michelle, who sat next to me, was mad when she saw the note he gave me too... told Sue later, and beg we go to be careful with this guy!!

Facial afterall and back dorm..

081217 :: Out finally for dinner

Stayed in dorm for a whole day... sleep and drafting the questions for Friday interview... Naa... I dated a friend from Spain (indeed somebody I met accidently when I was having lunch along in GuoMao a few months ago)... who's a market analyst from a Spanish bank... Alright, he's gonna be my interviewee for my 4 trillion yuan paper...

The task is really hard... I had no idea where to start... keep reading online news and photos taken by jEz on my "forgot to bring back to BJ" papers in HK!!! TKZ!!

Jen called, and came for the blanket... She said she cannot get Caf, so I decided to had dinner with her... Naaa... I planned not to go out tonight... but anyway... Coz I was dressed, I pop into Tien's farewell night too... No alcohol of ocz, as I do need to have a clear mind to work... He got me a coke, and I left after an hour, leaving with a pear!! TKz!! HAaaa..

Back to work... and after the nice chat with jen during dinner, Started out on my Qs for the interview and sent to Mr Pere... Zhou said she will count the interview Qs into the total marks!!

081216 :: ridiculous requirements in business writing class...

Ethic class.. presentation of 20pp ppt in 5 min... keep speaking... and duno y prof fields found one of edison's photo so funny and kept laughing... as nikita described, "he laughed like suffocating with his face all in red, and you were so funny and asking him y was he laughed like that"... yes, it is odd when you are doing presentation but your prof suddenly broke into big laughter... and field's answer was funny too... "who will put sth so awful on himself?" and we come to a conclusion during lunch that, he must had one of this stupid tank in his wardrobe that he can't believe even edison chen, the big celebrity in hk, also wear it in the advertisment... =="

Naaa... Zhou's business class.. I was really mad... she said, she had our quiz and hw marked and will send us back, and many got full marks in the quiz (yes, and any cheated too!!)... then she said, please do not make up answers in your quiz, if you don't know, then write I DUNO!! But that's a quiz... I don't know to 0 marks, right? Then, she said...
- I deducted students half of the mark if he or she make up answers... you are journalist and you suppose to give only the correct things to your readers... never write things which are uncertain...
> DAMN, how do you know we are making up answers? that can be our interpretations!! besides, you are giving us a quiz, QUIZ, which you said you do count the marks which you care so much!! So why shouldn't we try our best to get it done???
And in the last quiz, she said...
- I am giving you hw on looking up these meanings is because I want you to understand it yourself... find it online, in goolge, investopedia... I expect you to had your own definitions when writing out these meanings...
> alright, so we wrote BB for the junk bond and she yawned at us on why we don't look at her handouts which should be BB+ and she was about not to give us any marks in that Qs... HAAA... DAMN... Alright, tkz for being so sincere... and we are just doing what you ASKED!!!
I wonder in the next class i will become one of the cheating group... she's such a bitch that everytime she her ORDERS play not plots... OMG, still had her core courses next semester... AND I REALLY HATE IT!!!

Miss Chen's mandarin class finally... and go to find Jen as she's still sick... ARGH, I gave her the whole box of Panadol flu pills I bought in Watson's... and hope she's really gonna recover soon... Brought her for Jap pork chop and back dorm with a long french... Assignment day tomorrow... HAA

Spent a whole day on the paper, + testing the ability of my new ricecooker for my 清寶倆... ARgh... what's that word?? anyway, used mom prepared ingredients plus a pork to boil it... Haaa.. SUCCESSFUL, and looks so nice... taste good too =) but i think it will be even better if there is no 懿米... anyway... HAHA, happy with my soup tonight and drank the whole bowl (5-6 bowls...? i forgot!!)

081214 :: Delicious Jap Food

Met up wif Jen at 4pm in the Merchant Bank to get the bank account... Coz, we would like to buy stuff at taobao... HAHA... my A&F 羽絨... and many other stuff...

Started to the Jap food rest 四葉 at Chaoyang... Jen has been talking about this for long... as the Sashimi here taste very very good... She said, she really got to come here to celebrate after her finance exam... And she warned me that this place is just for the RAW food... they cannot cook the cooked stuff well... Naaaa... Menu in Jap and Eng, which is kinda hard to read... Anyway... Ordered 2 sushi meals... And we had Steamed eggs and crab soup too... and many many sushi~~~

Happy meal and see how happy Jen is when she saw there's sushi in front of her!! HAHA... Looks nice, right? and taste soooo good too... there's people at the next table who spoke in Canton-Mandarin... saying that this is the best place for sashimi all around BJ... ERGH... he's quite noisy indeed... and guess... that's really an expensive meal... cost 200+ per person... anyway... relli relli satisfied of didnt have GD jap food for sooo long... na, i missed that restaurant in CWB!!!

Recap of our food:













Got my ricecooker at lotus today too... Erm, gotta try out my soup tomorrow XP

Spent a whole night dealing with the online banking acct and taobao... hope I can get the jacket soon!!! 235RMB only including the mail fee... haha.. hope it relli looks nice!!

081213 :: Hidden City

Bumped into Caf's gathering today... she told me it was belgium tasting last night (that's y i go...) but end up becoming coffee tasting... disappointed..

Took so long to find the Hiddent City (the venue) with her 2 African friends... the 2 keep arguing on Christian is better than Catholic, and white doesn't mean beautiful so y we always said white skin is good... blaa... real annoying... I said nearly nothing all along as i really want them to stop... it's so stupid, why do you have to force people to take your point of view? Luckily I don't have these sort of classmates, otherwise I beg my class will never end due to class discussion overun...

Had a tea set at 35RMB, with a cuppucino and a piece of cake... shared my opera with Caf's NY cheese... Argh, the cheesecake taste great... The place was opened by HK people, which we did met the manager and asked for his namecard... Haaa.. he introduced the place to us too~~ Gonna use this experience for my consumer reporting HW for Dowling's class!!














Bumped in Hani at the place... She's a Korean girl, of the 07 class in Caf's course... a nice girl who speak in a tongue of Am accent... She's sooooo cool, and look really like a big sister here and insisted to bring us to shop with her... I was amazed when she showed me her piles of 100RMB notes when she said she had prepared these for today's function... OMG!! She brought us to a Jap restaurant too and treat us a lunch-like-tea... (coz we started off with coffee and cake this afternoon for our first meal) Anyway, she bought 2 hair band at 200RMB each, plus another top... she did want to buy the bag which cost 2000RMB, but since they don't receiver credit card, she didnt buy it finally!!

Indeed, I bought another pair of pale pink high heels... =="
I told Jen, then she said, "WOW... HAHAHAHA ned to cancel the jap food for your guilt?" (we dated for jap food the other day...) erm...

Met up with Gemma(my GZ client), her bf, and another Singapore guy who's studying architect in Tsinghua for dinner... We had roasted duck in am "out of nowhere place", where there's no MTR to get down there... And MAD, you know, the Singapore guy was living in my building, who's Paul's (my aussie classmate) roomate!! Then, he said, he watched paralympics final too... So funny, he didn't know canton, but we keep on saying canton... and he just kept eating out the whole meal...

Go back to Tsinghua together and walked around in Wallmart... didnt' find a nice rice cooker, and let me see for tomorrow...~~

081212 :: Ethic paper...

Hide in my room for a whole day for the Ethics final paper...
It's all about Edison's dirty photo scandal...
Spent really a day sitting there to did it...

Ordered the fried pork food to cheer myself up... HA... I really want curry, but I shdn't risk of getting my teeth yellowish, right? Anyway a big meal tonight... and really full... It looks so nice, and cost me 33 RMB... (Ha, expensive)... then stuck to the paper again...

Erm... Done, finally in the morning...

081211 :: Lost & Found of my bracelet...

Exhausted day...

Dowling class in the morning... Then got to facial shop... The story started here... I was asked to take off my bracelet... I remember I put it into my jeans pocket, then left for 39 RMB Buffet lunch at Tofi.. I love the pumpkin soup there, drink 2 big bowls, and had lots of cream puffs.. Back dorm to pack up my stuff for the afternoon class, and met up for Prof Han on the Econ appointment.. Joined Prof Feilds and Prof Mott's Guest Lecture, and there I found the bracelet was missing in my pocket!!!!!!!!!

Where is it??

called to the facial shop and asked if they saw it, went there, and search, and search also at Tofi... Called parents and cried of dropping the diamond bracelet... Ya, I was too unhappy... hanged off, and called jEz... and she kept comforting me.. Back to school for Dong's class... and thought if I had dropped it at Watson's...

Exhausting day, back dorm, and found that it was at my toilet sink...

I beg its that I dropped it when I sat onto the toilet, and the room service lady pick it up for me... THANKS... I am really lucky...

Called mom and told her the good news, and also jEz...

Sorry guys, I was really mad of dropping this bracelet I really love... ><

081210 :: Glenn Mott's travel guide

081209 :: Tired day after the flight

Busy for Zhou's presentation till 4, and Ethic class at 8... Late, and feel so bad as I was real tired... Fields gave us back the term paper + Quiz last week... He said the media was 80, and he gave 92 for both of my papers...!! OMG, that's really a GOOD grade, right? Even I don't really know what I was putting down for that 20 minutes quiz!!

Econ class... and didnt pay attention as I was keep preparing for Zhou's presentation... ERM.. Can't believe I was the one who started most... ==" Alright, Bird seems not even started... Took a quick lunch at Chiu Lan Restarant for Beef Noodles.. then back again for preparation... My teamates don't really look CARED... URGH... Alright...

Tkz Kay for my photo... I look so ugly~ Plz Mr Penuwat why you keep saying unrelated stuff... Zhou cuts the presentation during his part and said it's TOO LONG... and there should juz be one sentance about the news and one sentance to back up why we think the news is important.. But I remember clearly that she also said something like, treat us like those who had never heard of the news!! ALRIGHT!!! OLD ANGRY LADY, we won't argue with you!!

Quiz again, with 4 questions and 2 is about Balance of Payment... What the hell will I know about Balance of Payment!! I will be happy if I passed again... Saw that half of the class cheated... Alright... If this OLD LADY would like to mark our standard like this, let it be, I don't want to care.. and I don't want to CHEAT for full marks!!

Didnt had mandarin class today as I felt too weak, back dorm and sleep... Alright, I don't want to be sick in this sort of bad weather, when all my papers were at the "not yet started" status.

Had my lovely tuna fish biscuits =)

081205 :: Sharing Taxi Fee

Called Taxi which arrived at 550... I planned to ask him to drive me to ZhiChunNu... then I can take underground to the airport...

Got down, and saw a Korean girl and boy there talking to my taxi driver... THEY GOT SUITCASE!! Asked if they are going to Airport, YES, and Asked if they would like to got together and share TAXI fee!! COOL, $35 to the airport..

The driver took the 5th ring road... ERM... I think, 4th ring is closer... Anyway... Arrived as early as 630... and my flight was 900... ERGH... found some food there which taste REAL AWFUL... then slept till the gate opened... Flight delay for 40 minutes... And right... Food on S Airlines is REALLY DISGUSTING...

081201 :: Mom's Bday!!

Don't want to do anything today.. =="
Keep resting at dorm and didnt start on Fan Hong's essay//

Met up with Jen at 530, and had dinner at Spicy...
Argh, the food there is really to spicy...
Though taste nice, but i hate that feeling on my lips... ><
Love especially the Kiwi juice~~!!











Attended that talk of Nick Vergieic, that Aussie guy who has no limb... Auditorim crowded with people... but be frank, I don't like the talk much. It's like, he's really a professional speaker and he's juz travelling around for money more than for talk. VCDs, managers... blaaa, that's a business... And keep saying "I love you" for 100 times in the 2 hours... MAD...!! Well, we know not more than 2 hours, and I feel really terrible... Anyway, the theme is about... everybody is unique, and if you have faith you will succeed... blaa... Heard he's a Christian and had a talk in HK a week ago too..

Cake with Caf and Jen at grandma's kitchen... Happy talk =)

Gave my lovely mom a bday call too~~! HAA~

Had a little suprise when I bypass the reception counter today... Got a card from Ms Wong, which I thought was jEz... Then I saw it was sending from CWB... ARGH!!! Right!! It's RITA!!! That's the 1st xmas card I recieved this year, and tkz loads for reminding me that it's Dec already, and Xmas is coming!! Wana scream out that "YOU ARE SO SWEET" but she must be sitting in front of her msc at leighton 25F at that moment... HAHA... anyway... real happy about it... Yet, she used a memo to write everything to me... does it mean that she want me to reuse the xmas card, by sending it back to her? HUH no way!! it's mine!! XP
