Back, finally
Using qiaolin’s laptop to blog as usual for I can’t log onto to blogspot using my lappy. Apologies to people who have been coming to my blog only to find my entry stuck at some date three weeks ago. I’ve finally decided to come out of my shell to blog as I’ve promised some of you. I do wanna blog actually but my brain’s frozen from the cold so do forgive me if this entry doesn’t turn out as exciting as it should be.
Well, three weeks of not blogging and I’m sure you guys would have assumed that there would be lots to blog but I’m afraid to disappoint you, guys. Life’s been pretty mundane for me except for the fact that I went to zhouzhuang, shanghai and suzhou during the weekends, which I will talk about in the later paragraphs. Weather was pretty good last week with temperatures as high as 20 degrees Celsius but it has taken a turn for the worse as soon as the week started. Temperatures dipped to a low of 3 degrees Celsius! How drastic the change, its no wonder everyone’s falling ill and having the flu. I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out much longer as well. I feel myself getting weaker day by day and if it isn’t bad enough, I’m deprived of sleep too. The past one week has taken a toll on me what with extra activities lined up for us, jogging twice a week and not to mention touring 3 places in two days. I foresee this week to be no different than that of the past with assignments piling up and lots of revision to be done.
Talking about revision, I can’t say I’ve done much for the past one week owing to the busy schedule that I’ve had. I’m getting more and more demoralized as days pass. History lecture’s turning out to be a torture where I can understand no shit from the lecturer. Modern china’s turning out to be boring. Who cares about learning about the political situation in china? I second yiting’s thoughts when she said rather study sang nila utama than Mao Zedong. The only subjects that has caught my interest so far are media writing in Chinese, critical reading in Chinese, Chinese literature as well as Chinese philosophy. Well, at least there’s something I like.
Thank god for yt, ql and car. They have all made my life so much more interesting and merrier. I’ll remember all the stupid jokes we made as well as the tears we shed. Oh man, we’re a bunch of crybabies but who cares? I’ve got you guys and I’ll always be here for you and I know you will be too. Thank you for always being there for me. I know you guys are just sitting beside/behind me right now but some things are better left ‘unsaid’. I love you guys, so much.
Like I said, I would blog about my trip to zhouzhuang, shanghai and suzhou. It was one hell of a hectic two days for us. Not only do we have to wake up real early, we gotta endure the long bus journey and if that isn’t enough, the food for the second day sucked. I enjoyed myself in shanghai though. I’ve never been to shanghai before and I was amazed by the magnificent buildings! It is indeed a shopping paradise but not within my budget which is a sad thing. Let’s not say more shall we? I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

I’ve been thinking a lot for the past few days. I may appear strong but I’m actually very vulnerable. Read ‘The constant princess’ and that got me thinking. How is it that we can never predict the future? How is it that one can be happy one moment and unhappy the next? How is it that we can never hold on to happiness? How is it that, even I, find it so difficult to even be happy? I’ve been here a month now. It may seem fast to you guys but time seems to be crawling over at my side. Yes, one month’s down but there’s three more months to go. Can I survive it? I really doubt it. All I’m looking forward now would be my dad’s visit come May. Hopefully I would have cheered up by then.
