busy to blog, as always.. anyway i pretty much forgot wad we did.. so it's just a brief quick summary.. for photos.. check out fb.. :)
Tuesday.. day 9..
hmm.. i think it's a typical normal sch day.. so sorry.. but now i rmb wad we did.. the locals here had a singing competition to commemorate the May 4th movement.. anyway some of our classmates got chosen to get up stage wif our buddy class and together they sang.. 明天会更好.. and in the end.. we got first!! congratulations!!
Wednesday.. day 10..
we had another excursion..! this time to 同里.. it's called the Water Village i tink.. really peaceful place.. wif many old relics.. many places to visit.. do u noe..? 同里 was originally named 富土.. but due to some unforseen circumstances.. they changed the name to 同里.. they moved the 田 from the 富 to the 土.. and u get 里.. and wad's left from the 富.. removing the dot at the top.. u get a 同! so smart ah! anyway excursions mean.. really fun time and many pics!! we got to sit on those trams (the zoo type of tram).. we actually travelled on the trams.. on the main roads somemore.. super shiok experience.. we den had lunch at a local restaurant.. had the local delicacies.. 状元蹄.. and two of the 太湖三白.. nt really confirm.. anyway it was a pretty gd lunch.. and each person costs around RMB$26.. which is actually quite cheap.. after lunch.. we went to the shop selling candy.. and some of us bought 龙须糖 and 麦芽糖.. i intended to bring the 龙须糖 bak to SG.. but i scared cannot last tad long.. but i still intend to try my luck.. the 龙须糖 is like way bigger than wad SG sells.. and it's super nice.. 10 pieces for RMB$10! we bought some 麦芽糖 too.. and it's just really fun playing wif the 麦芽糖 to make it whiter and softer and not so sticky.. as the boss says.. 越搅越白 越搅越多 吃了不粘牙..!!
ok anyway we finished at around 3.. so it's OTOT time..!! we went to 十全街 first.. cos alot of ppl say got alot of things to buy.. but actually like nt much lor.. i only bought some bks.. for SY and Geral's bday.. anyway we decided to switch lanes and walked quite a distance passing thru 凤凰街.. and took a bus to 观钱街.. the place that we are more familiar wif.. after setting down for dinner at KFC.. although the local restaurants like 得月楼 are very appealing to us.. the pricing is abit above avg.. and maybe we can save it for the last few days of our trip.. after dinner.. we split into 2 grps for shopping..!! and seriously 2 hrs of shopping is nt enuff!! cos there is so much to shop.. there will definitely be more visits to 观钱街.. i still wan to buy a wallet.. a bag.. a jacket.. and many many more.. a bag and jacket is a must!! maybe i'll shop for jackets when we go to Shanghai next wk..
and oh ya.. nt to spoil my image or wad.. but i went to buy my first condom! lol.. under the pressure of the girls of course.. imagine a (vending machine type of) machine outside the toilet.. and just wif RMB$1.. u get a condom.. nt really gd education for kids huh! anyway for RMB$1.. i suppose the condom wun last long.. BUT.. i'm not gonna use it of course! who do u tink i am! but anyway something funny happened at nite.. haha.. ok.. end of story.. privacy u noe!
Thursday.. day 11..
hmm.. plain day agn.. study study and study.. but we got to start at 10am.. cool huh..! i rather start everyday at 10..! yes.. and something bad happened during lunch.. i slipped and my ice pop fell on the ground.. and i only took one lick.. anyway i bought another one.. LOL.. we had instant noodles for dinner.. but the nite's nt as fun as Wed.. cos some ppl are too tired.. can't play much.. i went for a sing-along session wif JY and gang.. and instead of practicing for the song.. we started playing various songs and guessing the songs.. overall it's still nt bad.. and after the session.. i had a heart-2-heart tok wif some of the girls whose names will be made unknown.. LOL.. anyway the topics during the session will also be private too.. if u wanna listen.. u'll nid the password to access.. :P
