7:57 PM OKIES, I'm finally back from China! No, I didn't die from the earthquake. Okay. TOUCHWOOD. Anyway, I'm going to blog a whole lengthy (I think) post about it. Massive text ahead. Day 0+1 Okay, I went to Changi Airport Terminal 3 at 9 plus. Did all the customs and everything, we got onto the plane. SIA! Singapore Airlines rocks okay. Anyway I got a seat far away from the Sec 2s. I was seating on the side with two Sec 3s. Korin and the other one I forgot. So yeah. Watched movies and played games. Actually I played Bejeweled first. Then I buay tahan. I slept for about half an hour. Then watched Alvin and the Chipmunks. Before long breakfast arrived. OHYEAH, dawn was early in China. I could see the be-au-ti-ful horizon. It was as beautiful as the stars at Sec 2 Level Camp, only that it's brrrrreathtaking~. I'm darned serious ahs. Breakfast was some sausage and potatoes. LOLNESS. Then when we got off the plane, customs again... We saw JIAXING, on the TV. Not the Jia Xing at 208, but his "name" was on the TV. I wanted to take a photo, but we were rushing. Anyway I didn't sleep for the whole night, AND THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME I EVER NEVER SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT~ What an achievement. HAHAS. Our guide, 刘大哥 (for those who don't know Chinese, it's Brother Liu, literally.), was there to pick us from Shanghai Pudong Airport. It was 6.00am++ in the morning when we were out of the airport, and the air around us was about 16 degrees Celsius. It's colder than an aircon. But nice. We were transported to the Shanghai Science Center. While we were there, we saw life sized animals, but they're statues. Going further in there was a ride about the digestive system. And "porn". Which was about the reproductive system. The center was quite informative. After which, we went to Shanghai City Development Center. There was a gigantic City plan of Shanghai, and was clearly impressive. Nothing much there though. After that we went to the hotel which looked unglam on the outside but much so nicer in the inside. There was three computers in the lobby which explained why I was online the first two days. I slept with a Sec 3 cause it was 2 to a room. Sighs. Day 2 Woke up in the hotel. Went to Chenghuangmiao if I did not remember wrongly. Also went to Nanjing Road. Overall today was a shopping day for some, but definitely not for me. I HATE SHOPPING ah. And the teacher actually accused me of being not concentrating, being lazy etc. I'll elaborate on that on the day itself. I didn't buy anything, but I ate Haagen-Dazs. Which was rather expensive. Anyway, what's there to elaborate about shopping? But Chenghuangmiao has xiaolongbaos that were VERYVERYVERY nice. Sweet soup inside, and it scalded my tongue. Day 3 We went to Oriental Green Boat before going to Wuxi. There, we rented bicycles. Almost no one were walking. Except for a guy. And the teachers. Alvin, Korin and me went to the airplane display, which were used in WWII. And there were families picnicking underneath the wings of the plane. But they were rather considerate, unlike Singaporeans, who would throw their rubbish anywhere. But consideration to the extent of cigarrete butts only. LOLS. Then we went to the submarine there, but I was didn't go in. The two of them were taking photos as they went. While I was outside sorting my thoughts. But they took a rather long time... I was cycling around the area for a few times when they eventually came out. Time passes. Then we went to Wuxi by coach. And Deyians surely love to sleep. Mr Soon actually got a few photos of people sleeping. When we reached Wuxi, we got quite alot of extra time. But then we're here to learn, not slack, and we went to the zisha teapot museum. Zisha is a purple clay, only to be gotten from Dingshan, a hill in China. The guide in the museum, not our guide, brought us into a room and told us more about the teapots. Most of them were uniquely designed, and there was one kind that would float in the water without somersaulting, because other zisha teapots would float, but would somersault. There was another kind that had water pouring out in a twirl, and it had many meanings to it. But too bad, I never brought my father's camera there. Sadly. Or else there would be tons of pictures here. HAHA. Then we went to the hotel. Glam on the outside and creepy in the inside. In the end lots of rooms were wasted, and most of us used four to a room. HAHA. Day 4 To be continued, yet again.
