Afterall me and the 4 boys got to wangfuzhen for the movie 南京!南京!. That's really a big movie, but we were all depressed after watching it. It's nicely made, but you cannot enjoy when you see how the Chinese are being treated in the war...

Back dorm nearly at 1am with a cab and took a cold water shower ><

090422 :: the GJI leaflet!

Lily said Prof Dong has appointed me to work with her on the leaflet... so... I was really busy to keep working on this in the past whole night, then Ms Chen said she would like to cancel our meeting~ OK, then I can really focus on these work!!

But indeed, I also have a presentation for the public speaking class tmr... which would like her to practise with me... but then... suen la...

Lunch wif Kay and Ana at Bridge, and had a very cheesy pasta dish... Ha, and Paul pumped into us with a pretty local year1 graduate gal of our school!! Anyway, its nice to see that he is having a date now. At least he will be more busy and will not bother with us! Chat a lot with Ana =)

Back for Zhou, and she is so nice that giving us choices of whether we want to have class next Tue! Of coz I vote for NO!! HAHAA!! Cool~ So now we are free on Tue!!! But then, she gave us a quiz on those finanical terms again... ARGH!!! Aiiiiiiiii~~~

Got to the market and brought some food, and seems that I dun have much money with me... Anyway, cooked vegetables again!! I think I am really soooooo addicted to this dish!! which the key reason is that, it's really TOO EASY TO COOK!!

090418 :: Outing with local classmates

Gathered at 830 in the morning at the Metro station, and we had 9 people together from the public speaking class... It took us 2 hours to arrive 潭拓寺... ARGH... sor far away... Indeed, Prof Fan suggested us to book a van, but we are in such a hurry that my classmates cannot find one!!

We have to changed for 3 lines in the Metro, get to the last station of Line 1, and change a bus... Finally they make a deal for a black car, costing us $7 each for the journey. Then, they played "Killer" on the black car... with out student card!! It's crazy, coz the one who luckily drew mine will be the policeman of the game, and of coz, we got a killer student card too!! First time to play killer with Chinese friends... hahaa they are sooooo funny... Enjoyed, but I also felt very sick of concentrating on the game inside a moving vehicle...

Arrived the place before 11, got the ticket, and hang around. We took quite a lot of photos. To be clear, its I took quite a lot of photos for them. But that's a happy day to hang out with local friends like this. The temple is the oldest temple in BJ, when emperors as early as in the Ming dynasty already go there for worshipping... I think I won't go there if not of my local buddies...

Penny called and we met up at 430 at the E gate... HAHA... She's from HK!! Then I showed her around Tsinghua, while I was introducing the "ghost story" of the 2nd Teaching Building, she said her high school also has those stories!! Then, we found out, we really have loads of common backgrounds, coz we are both from MCS, and she is the class of 2002!!

She introduced her friend, Jason to us, which I later found out that he's from DBS, but many many years younger than me! Got Jen and we had a Grill Food lunch at the 4th ring restaurant... 150 per head, but taste really good!! We did loads of chat and laughed so much throughout the night!!

I finally started my essay at 11pm and finished by 3!!Indeed, dun think I really write something good... Finger Crossed...

Got an email from the course TA in the morning... which like urging us to take the China Economics Development course again on Thur, which clashes with PR... and Nikita sent out an email that out of his free will, the fucking course was added to his fucking schedule which cannot be dropped... he asked all to check...

And of coz... me and the whole class got the same problem... This is relli ridiculous... you know? who can that be....? adding in a class to our system without acknowledging us... which the course is not the requried credit and has not been put into the timetable which had sent to us in this January... I am very pissed and disappointed of the school's way of playing this black hand... Come'on, Tsinghua is a international class U~~~ Nearly the whole class is angry... and i relli can't do it, coz i haf no more tendency to add my course up to 7 this semsester...

Finished Advanced writing hw later in the nite and Ended my day with chats with many people... ><

090304 :: Another pissed day

Shocked by Paul's email and his work last night, but received a nice message from Kay on her advise.

He who sit at the back of me asked if he can sit with me, then asked y my ppt looks the same as his... WHY? coz that's a group presentation and that's y i m incorporating his into ours... have discussed in the meeting rite? then he told me he changed his ppt and i asked him to change it back into OUR TEAM's copy as i have just sent it out in the email. then he asked if he can present his, i said shd we discuss with the group?!

OK, then after class, we gathered together and discuss... he in cantonese asked me if he can present that himself... y not speak in english?! alright, i invited everybody to join the discussion and made my point that its groupwork... he said he will like to Kay's and Kay said, yes, group work...

Asked me for dinner, and Su and paul joined... god... paid us and ask us to allow him for using his own ppt for presentation...

When su was out for setting up the presentation, he suddenly came up with is nb, unplugged the wire and connect the projector to his to do his presentation... su was shocked, replied with nth more than OK... Damn...

We are all pissed... he ruined the flow... and he left us shit out there to follow up... y on earth haf such wierd people?!

090303 :: busy and PISSY tue

8am class, Fields talks about company structure... coglomeration... bla.. then economics term... bored die... and maybe my face is looking too blank that he laters come to me ask, "Hey Ms Tam how's are you"... URGH!! SERIOUSLY BORED by u... can't u recognize?

950am class follows... Media Management... Bored again... but bits better than the 1st class...

12noon... get to the Global Resources Hall for the pizza party.. Can't believe su and i were the first to arrive... even we were not "5 minutes early" (phrase heard most these days, as it is repeated at least 5 times each class, and at least 10 times in Zhou's class)

Saw Elly, aaah... long time no see =) She got new hair style.. HAAA.. FAKE LONG HAIR, and I was short!

btw, can Bird just ask less silly Qs? It was like...
Zhou, "If you cannot find an intern, we suggest you to go back to your home country"
Bird, "I have a question Prof Zhou, can I go back to Thailand for my internship?"
Zhou (giggling), "Yes Penuwat (bird's eng name) You may... ... ..."
And this happened again in 10 minutes ///
Zhou, "Please find an intern which is related to your field. Last year a girl came up and asked if she can be a sales, I think it's irrelevant"
Bird, "I have a question Prof Zhou, can I work in a hotel?"
Zhou, (giggling), "Penuwat you think hotel is a communication job?"
Bird, "Yes, I have to talk"
GOD.........................................

And for Fields,
Zhou, "Some years ago we received a thesis statement which cannot be really done, it is, THE ROLE OF A JOUNALIST..."
And, we heard a big WAHAHAHAHHAHAAH voice 2 metres away from Zhou, who is Mr Fields laughing madly on our poor schoolmate's unreasonalbe thesis statement... ARGH... Professor...

1420 Zhou's class...

Facial at 1630, then met up wif Caf for dinner at Yunnan noodles shop with Roger, Jasmine and another Taiwan new friend...

Woke up late, did some coursework for PR, then got to sing k with Jen in "K Box"... HAaa, cool, quite a lot of Canton songs, just its really hard to find the singers as there is no order and everything in the menu are in simplified Chinese...

It was around 7 we got to the bbq jap food for our dinner... TERRIBLE Salmon sashimi and grilled eel... but the beef and the ox tongue is really tasty LOL

Home... bath... and slept

090227 :: the paper story

Woke at 8 today and got back to the office to deal with the absence letter for my registration... Rm 302 was locked when I arrived at 830, which the TA told me she would be there by 8am yesterday...

Tried to find a paper at the 1F computer room to print out my letter, but all the paper have marks on the both side... tried to ask the general office of GBJ, and the 2 lady there rejected me of borrowing a piece of A4 paper... whose kept shouted that they won't lend any stationery to students in the building...I said I can return the paper to them on Monday, then they said every students said that... I said maybe can I buy a piece of paper from you? Then they said no coz they cannot run a business as they recieve subsidy from the state govt BLAAAA~! damn...

I was mad and asked if they can be helpful for this time, then they said No, and blaaa the above again... Then I tried to ask them for the TA contact, hoping that I prob can get a paper from the upstairs office... And they said they cannot give me her number as that will cause the TA big inconvenice if I call her whenever I am free (chi ma gun)... Then I said, alright, would you kindly call her and let me speak to her... Then they answer, o sorry we don't have her number coz she is a NEW TA... (i thought they just admit they have her contact)

Then one lady said she has to call the admin head to ask if she can lend a piece of paper to a graduate student of the school, starting with "我真的受不了,這些學生不停跟我借紙"... I nearly laughed... that's ridiculous... then she hang up and said she cant lend me the paper, but then after saying sth without meaning, she suddenly throw me a piece of A4 paper and asked me to return it on Monday...

DAMN... worst experience I had since 2009... I hate the style of how China people works...

Interview with Hannah and Victoria at their dorm at 915, nice talk for my report due tomorrow =) They are sweet and nice people...

Facial at 11, then meet up with Jen for lunch at Tafi... Back to her house as she forgot the paper student card for registration, then we back to the office for registration... finished in 10 sec, but Jen was in trouble coz she didn't hand in the absence excuse to her faculty... URGH... walk to SEM and walk back... and she registered finally... THATS STUPID... Esp when she was not informed on the registration and the absence issue... All 'rules' here are just too stupid that many students have to go back to their own faculty on requesting an absence last weekend for this make up registration session~~

Went out to walk around with Jen and we had been to WUMART the HYPERMARKET!! Is that just an A brand of Wallmart Supermarket? Sort of AGREE!!

Met up with Caf, walked, and had dinner at a restaurant called 女兒紅... Taste awful except for the vegetables... then we decided to go to 鹿港小鎮 for dessert... It was sooooo cold tonite... And Jen, please recover ASAP!!

Got Paul and he drove us together to the 西苑醫院... erm... horrible hospital... but at least, they did all the right check and suggested Jen for injection...

Didnt see how the soldiers marched out for the ceremony...

And, Slipped D60 on the floor again ==" Luckily it was not hurt...

Got to Zoo with Jen again where I bought many many socks and 2 tops... And I was so happy with the terribly cheap socks there... 5RMB a pair~~!! Besides, my bag accidentally hung a star necklace, while I was squeezing inside the crowd... AIYA...

Used to know Ethics exam is in the next week (1st week of Jan)...
But then I found out I missed it TODAY when I get back for the Econ class...

Steven keep saying to me in the morning when I was parking my bike, "Marie did you miss the test?" And I said, "What is the test?" Then I later found out they are supposingly talking about the EXAM!! How come I don't know?

Run to Limei and ask her on what I can do... while I am going to have my ECON class too.. SHIT... Then she asked me to do it NOW... OK, and the funniest thing is that my computer shut down suddenly when I finished HALF of my exam... everything was lost... DAMN... how can it be so "BLACK" today?!?! Spent another hour and finished it... it's so difficult...

Gone mad and shout to Jen and met up with her for lunch... then back dorm with my essay AGAIN.. Poooooooor!!!!
