(SCREW IT LA PHOTOS STILL CANNOT UPLOAD THOSE ABV 1MB!!!!!!)

[Update, FInally can after i coompressed em, Enjoy^^]

Woah, today morning i woke up with a dry throat. I immediately got my Pipagao(The cordeceps-molten-liquid) which my mum prepared for me and gobbled down loads of water, hoping to feel better after it. Guessed it worked as i felt so much better after a while. I started making my bed and changing into my day clothes. As we were going out to the zoo today, i decided to wear thicker-5 layers, thermal top, normal t-shirt, sweater,school jacket, and my huge windbreaker. For pants, i wore schoool pants and jeans inside. (Just if you are wondering, we were "forced" to buy 2 sets of uniform-each containing pants and jacket from the school so we look like we are students from there xD) Then, I proceeded to my classroom to get my utensils before rushing to the canteen to get our breakfast. Today, we had almost the same food as yesterday- soya bean milk(kinda bland), Egg cakes, meat pao(thick skin and hard). The only different dish was youtiao which tasted kinda soggy.

After having our breakfast, we went back to our classroom for lessons. There were two chinese lessons, the first talking about some love poems from the past which i almost kept my head down through the whole lesson as it was kinda boring. The second lesson was much mroe interesting, starting off with a music video of the Beijing Olympics Theme song. It was followed up with some introductions to some of beijing's famous sites which were classified under protected (i think) by the UNESCO. Then, after a short briefing by Mr Chia about the trip to the zoo, we rushed to the bus stop to wait for Bus 104. When it finally came, our whole class squeezed in and filled the whole bus. It was quite a short trip but i was cautious throughout, making sure the my back was always facing a fellow classmate/ friend, after hearing all the horror stories from my parents on how some experienced pickpockets use razors to slice open one's bagpack to steal our items. Upon reaching the Zoo, the teacher got us tickets and the 1st stop was at the giant panda enclosures, where we saw some cute pandas. I even took a picture of 2 pandas being naughty.... Then, we proceeded to the entrance of the aquarium, where we were told to gather at 12.40pm. At the aquarium, we saw many huge fresh water fishes and i bought a packet of fish food which i wasted on some koi at the entrance- I found out that all the fishes there were from freshwater and ate those fish food i bought..zzz wasted) After short trip to the aquarium, we went for lunch. The teachers told us that we could eat anything around the vicinity, as long as we gathered at the entrance of the zoo by 2.40pm. I went to eat beef rice (14.50)at Yoshinoya which was just beside the aquarium, followed up with a stick of roast lamp meat i bought at a roadside stall(3rmb) and a bottle of home-made yoghurt which was both equally scrumptious.

Shortly after, we went to the whole sale market where we could buy clothes. It turned out to be a huge shopping centre with TONS of stalls inside selling clothes. The teachers also warned us to wear our bagpacks in front such that we could keep an eye over our stuff. It was very crowded and the number of stalls overwhelmed me so much that the fear of being lost made me leave it less than 10mins after entering even though we had free time till 5.50pm, which is dinner time. I reached back at the hostel at 3pm and slacked for awhile in my dorm. Before that, i also bought some snacks and some chinese style kebab which was delicious! Thus, I could do whatever i wanted to till 5.50pm, which ended up with me, here, writing this blog post! xD Hope you guys are having fun at SG, cuz we are having alot more fun here!P.S. I think i spent at least 100rmb today on food and souvenirs.... xD

P.S. 2: I'm also kinda home sick now =( I miss my bed so much and my family members. 39 more days to go before I'm back to SG, but also 39 days more to go before the fun ends, and also 39 more days to go before it is back to boring school life... Soooo CYAZ PEOPLE SMELL YA LATER!
