Phew what a trip. The flight was from 8.45am~2.55pm but we arrived early at around 2.40pm.
The first thing i felt was the blast of cold air form the small gaps connecting the plane and the airport.We were the last to leave the plane as our teacher in charge at that time (miss ong bee young ) told us to stay behind while other passengers left so she could give instructions to us. After getting to the immigration, we were shocked to find out that the queue was superrrrrrrrr long. When it finally reached me, i handed over my passport and some form which i had to fill in. To my horror, the officer told me i filled in the wrong side of the form(i filled in departure, supposed to fill under arrival). I thought cuz we were departing from SG and since we received the form there, we were supposed to fill in the departure one mah... That zhi wei la, tell me go fill there.. He also got held back as he was right behind me. The whole group was waiting for us and we were so embarrassed when we found out everyone was waiting for us. We then went to get our luggage and proceeded outside to board the bus to go to the campus. Mr chia was also waiting for us at the entrance.Man was it cold when we stepped out. My teeth was like chattering and my ears were so cold even when i was inside the airport. I also found out that the toilets there had these special pieces of toilet seat cover to put over the toilet seat when you pangsai... Pretty cool! Never seen it in singapore before. We saw many leafless trees and some piles of snow here and there. As i have never seen snow in my life before, i couldn't wait to see,feel, touch or even smell them!I could also imagine how pretty it would be if we came in autumn or somthing...There was also a TV ont he bus which was playing Mr bean and everyone was laughing like hell. When we reached the campus, we went up to our dorms and quickly unpacked some of our stuff here and there before going for dinner. The bed was also kinda hard but it was acceptable. I also kinda stole the blanket from the plane, so... I felt kinda more comfortable. After dinner, our teachers brought us to a supermart where we bought some of our daily necessities, mostly consisting of shampoo and snacks. I also went for photo taking as the teacher at Singapore kinda forgot to give my photos to Miss ong. Man did i look fat in those thick windbreakers. Then, we proceeded to our classrooms to have a briefing before going back to our dorms where we prepared for the night. I unpacked most of my stuff, went for a bath, played a game of dota on normal ( I WON OMGWTFBBQ CANT BELIEVE IT[against AI of cuz]), ate some vacuum packed Bak Kwa which my mum bought for me back at SG before turning in. Zhi Wei was quite tired and turned in early while my other two room mates ( daryl and joe) were mugging and doing homework. We were also told to apply lip balm and mosturizer all over our body to protect our skins as the air was very dry.
We woke up at 6.00am today. After washing up, we went to our classrooms to take some plates and bowls before proceeding the the canteen to get our food. It was pretty cool as we had a card to swipe and get to choose what food we want and get charged accordingly. Though i must say the food was kinda suck, but it was also quite cheap. The card could also be used at a MAMA store located right beside the canteen where we could buy some snacks and cup noodles. After that, we went back to class to slack for awhile before going for a tour around the school and an intro speech by the principal. I wasnt really paying attention as i wanted to get my lunch badly... The lunch was also kinda sucky.... Then, we went to Beijing Urban Planning Centre via public bus( RMB 1 per ride regardless)to see what the government has planned for the country for the next 10 years. It was quite interesting but there were some parts i simply didn't concentrate as i was tired. We also had to watch 2 mini movies which i kind aslept throught -_-". We also stopped at a place called Qianmen where we stopped to shop for awhile. I bought a sausage and some Candied Haw Thorn. After that, at the subway, where we were supposed to topup out "Ez-Link" cards but a problem popped out and we couldn't top up, so we just bought a ticket which cost 2 RMB. After reaching JiShuiTan station, we walked for around 15mins to our hostel which was kinda far. I didn't go up to my dorm as i already had everything with me and went back to class to use comp for awhile before going for dinner. Today's dinner was kinda nice as the thigns were kinda more "edible" to me... We then proceeded back to our classroom to do homelearning and for a mini briefing till 9pm, and here i am blogging about my past 2 days experience. To sum it all up, Beijing is fun but sure it is cold. There are also quite some pretty girls from the school we are joining(二附中) Our chinese teacher is also quite nice. Look forward to tomorrow was we would be going to the zoo... Hope it wouldn't be as smelly as Singapore's one though i am already quite prepared... There is also a whole sale market next to the zoo where we can buy our clothes. I heard we can bargain there and i hope i can get some good quality stuff.. Byes!Smell ya laterz!
