CHINAAAA

Hi guyssss

Ok so recently, I came back from my school immersion programme to China, Si Chuan & Cheng Du. It has been a really fun trip I swear. ((Digressing: I want to eat chicken rice & so many other stuffs now.))


So the moment we came out of the airplane, it was cold, but shiok. The weather there is actually like aircon in Singapore but EVERYWHERE. The feeling is really just nice, if you love cold like me. But anyways, when we went to get our luggage, I JUST HAD TO SAY THIS, but one of the teachers kind of lost her luggage, hsahhahahha ok so we came out, and everyone took their luggage already except for her. She said she lost her luggage, then it was found, in between the moving belts, am I the only one who find this funny? oops hahhaha.


So I managed to refresh my memories by looking at my pictures. So for the first day we went to Golden something something hotel for our breakfast, it's a breakfast buffet. WHAT'S MORE AWESOME THAN BUFFET. Oh something later on. Tadah, that's Joan eating her fruits after eating her main course of breakfast. Ok moving on. We then went to this mini store like 7-Eleven, we were suppose to buy our stuffs for the next 3 days. Well, me being thrifty, did not buy anything :-) Because I am a good girl hahah.

Anyways, then we went to this museum, it's about this man called Du Fu. That's the only thing that I listened though about the whole museum. OOPS.








Next, we went to another museum. Wait, no it was the same museum. Wait, GAHH I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES OKAY.





JUST LOOK AT JOAN'S FACE OMG.

CONTINUING, we went to another museum, yayyy. This museum was COOL. They gave us earpiece each, and the guides will talk to a microphone which will be heard on our earpieces. TECHNOLOGY THESE DAYS. So it looked something like that. 


As you can see, my battery was dying, and yeap, IT DIED HALFWAY. WHY DOES THE BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN ON THE GOOD PEOPLE. :-( We had our lunch there, our lunch was a 20 COURSE MEAL. OMG, AND THE FOOD IS REALLY NICE ♥ I miss it now. I am really hungry now. So yeah, what's better than breakfast buffet? THIS. Anyways, some pictures there.












The view outside was very nice, IF ONLY IT HAPPENS IN SINGAPORE. 

THEN FINALLY, AFTER ALL THESE MUSEUMS, WE WENT TO CHECK IN TO THE HOTEL YAY. I was really tired then, as I did not sleep in the plane ride, which is from 2am to 6am. But oh well, what can you expect from me. So check out our hotel :P





We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, which passed really very fast. PRACTICALLY, THIS WHOLE TRIP PASS REALLY FAST. I still can't believe I went to China with Joan. ;D Then for dinner I FORGOT. OH WAIT, IT'S COMING BACK TO ME. Ok for dinner, we ate at this restaurant which we were eating it for the next 2 days. But the food every time is different so I don't mind. ;D Plus, the food there is really delicious. :-) 

THEN, we walked back to the hotel and had some rest. THE END.


Joan and I woke up at like 5.30am. DOING NOTHING ALL THE WAY TILL BREAKFAST TIME, which is like 7.30. Are we normal? Hmm. So the crazy stuffs that we did in the morning.











Then, we had our breakfast at the hotel restaurant. IT'S BREAKFAST BUFFET AGAIN. ;D


After that we went to the lobby to wait for the rest who were still eating. Since we were done eating. Oh and we went up to get our stuffs because APPARENTLY, JOAN FORGOTTEN TO BRING SO MANY STUFFS OUT.



And then we move on to the activities we are doing.

To be honest, I have forgotten about EVERYTHING. OH WAIT NO, IT'S COMING BACK AGAIN.

First, we went to the Shi Fang Middle School I guess. The way they teach is TOTALLY different from Singapore, firstly, everything is spoken in Chinese here. Secondly, they speak really fast, and I can't catch up. To me, the students there are friendly? (Should be) One of them lent Joan & I his ruler, without even us asking or opening our mouths. So kind of him. Then I think that's about it for the school activities. Because after the lessons, we went back to this room where we watch videos, it's interesting yet boring. Hmph. 

THEN, WE WENT TO THE EARTHQUAKE RUINS. It happened on 2008. But the broken pieces were still intact. It was really mesmerizing but saddening. To know that so many people died because of this earthquake is really sad. But it's really interesting as no where in Singapore can you find such stuffs or see these. Anyways, here are some photos of it. Sorry for the suckish panorama pictures, I just can't take a nice one. 







So yeah, after this we went back to the same dinner area as yesterday and ate nice food and we went back to the hotel. Before that, we had a little briefing to ask on the food, and activities. So, we can give our feedback. Yay. And that night, Joan and I camwhore so much to our friends on whatsapp. ;D WELL, ISN'T THAT WHAT SOMETHING WE ALWAYS DO. Then we move on to,

So, there is nothing much for this day. Well, we went back to the school, and we were suppose to teach them basic english. And so we thought them some tongue twisters.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck

if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.


I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.
Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits.

I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish,
but if you wish the wish the witch wishes,
I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.

How many cookies could a good cook cook
If a good cook could cook cookies?
A good cook could cook as much cookies
as a good cook who could cook cookies.

So yup, these were the 4 tongue twisters that we taught them. Guess what, of all classes, only the class that we taught prepared us gifts. Aww how sweet of them.



Most probability I would be going back next year. Hahahah I think they should totally extend the duration. :-) 


Then after that, I totally forgotten where we went to. Oh well, you seriously can't expect much from me.
The only thing that I remembered was that we checked in the hotel and then we were free until dinner time, and then I went to buy a pair of shoes, WHICH IS REALLY PRETTY. 
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT DAY, WHICH IS THE LAST DAY.


So on 13 November, that was the last day in China, which was the most exciting day. WE WERE GOING TO SEE PANDAS, YAY. But before that, we had breakfast buffet at the exact same place where we had our breakfast for the first day. Which the food taste really good. I really want to eat them now. Omg. So we went to the Panda Enclosure places. THEY WERE REALLY CUTE ♥♥ 






OHOH and the toilet is really cool. It's like those Japanese ones where there are TONS of buttons to press. Although I did not press any, but I always wanted to. And this Joan, almost went to press on the butt washing button. JOANNNNNN.










 Then, we went to the airport after that, OH WAIT NO, we went for a little shopping first before we went to the airport. During the shopping time, I bought like tons of stuffs from J!ong Box. Joan too, she bought like tons of unnecessary stuffs. Oh Joannn. Anyways, we had KFC for our dinner, before we checked in. Sadly, when we checked in, our passports were not left together, then we were seated separately :-( BUT YAY FOR THIS FRIENDLY GIRL NAMED JERMAINE CHAI. She requested the people sitting beside Joan to exchange with me, I swear she is the most friendly person on Earth. ;D

So tadah, that's all for this trip. I would love to go back there next year, I swear. By the way, next year my school is going to have another school immersion programme, which is going to be at South Korea. My school is getting more awesome year by year. ;D BYE NOW.

Sorry guys if the camera isn't that sharp, I did not bring the camera that I always use, I used my phone for all these photos.
