hello! i shall continue updating about sabbaticals (:DAY6, SUZHOU & SHANGHAI
we went to school again. but we were late. heh. cus of peak hour & i don't know what. yup so when we finally reached school ultra late, the principal ran out with GLOVES. & the gloves looked like those time durian sellers will wear when cutting durian! so grace concluded that he was eating durians while waiting for us ;D
yi zhuan yan (suddenly), we were paired off with the pri school kids! cus the day before the singapore ones went off in twos with two china kids from one class. so now two of us would join that happy group of 4. veryvery weird. haha. yup & then suddenly we were whisked off for some uh morning exercise? even weirder! hahaha its like having aces day.. just that theirs is like everyday? but they already have a routine so they all know what to do except us! hahahaha. & the scarier part is that the very moment they finish the last move they start running back to class (in an orderly way. running, but orderly.) & all singaporeans were like ?!?!??!? hahahahaa.
ms or:
see. that is what i call a STRAIGHT LINE! (referring to how all the classes line up) (ps: Ms Or cannot stand the way how we line up. because it'll end up in a S shape. but correct what. 3S!:D)
tiffany & lipin:
-.- (thinks: ah whatever) we are innocent during assembly okay! its just that the other classes enjoy squishing us!
our class' 1st period was MATHS. jiaxin's class was english i think. dont really know about the rest. oh someone's lesson was PE aahahhaa. yeah. the brilliant teacher put me RIGHT IN FRONT -.- ah like hellooooo. i'm even taller than you lah. ahahhaa. anyway the girl behind me was our pri school kid..so not so bad. still can talk to her (: yeah so they were learning area & perimeter! & i discovered that i totally forgot all my pri school methods. see, too used to algebra & everything else. so i forgot about making tables & doing guess & check. oh well. oh if you didn't know, all their lessons are in chinese! interesting eh (:
i realize that in Japan & China its all the same. or maybe everywhere is the same except Singapore. inbetween each lesson there would be a 10min break. hahaha yeah so right, you forever see kids running around playing catching or whatever. yeah but this time round, the very moment the teacher dismiss the class suddenly the four of us (singaporeans) became celebrities. hahahha! like everyone suddenly crowds around you & asks for your address, name, phone number, email, & SIGNATURE. hahaha that boy was so ultra cute :D yeah the little girl sitting next to me in class was so sweet too (: she gave me a present which turned out to be a bear figurine saying "i love you" hahaha! lipin got TONS of presents from her partner hahaha. okay everyone got presents, except jasmine because her partner didn't have anything to give her.. & so her partner gave her a biscuit instead hahaha! :D the children there are so loving & warm. quite unlike our pri school people i think :/
we unfortunately could only sit in for one lesson. then we were chased to eat lunch! this time, not as nice. but for the first time i got to eat cha ye dan! tea leaf egg? yup :D thne after that we went for a paper cutting lesson. ah, the horror. i love cutting & folding but i always get lost, for sure. eeee. but somehow this time wasn't so bad, cus the lady went quite slowly. yeah. then ms or came up with the brilliant idea to use these paper cutting things to decorate the class backboard. & we brilliantly rejected the idea.
okay you know what. lipin's blog says that we went for the lesson first before eatinglunch? hahaha i forgot already (:
after that we sang HOMEEE :D to the principal, vps, & teachers who were sending us off. plus laoshi finally let us sing the school song! hahaha i love the school song :D esp when we sing all 3 verses! so we were ultra happy when she let us sing it to the principal because she didn't let us at first :(
then off to shanghai! for the 1st time ever xiao ran jiejie ordered.made us sleep on the bus because she said we will have a late night or something like that. fine with us. we always either get high or sleep on the bus. & normally getting high only occurs at night while sleeping occurs in the morning & afternoon (:
then bookshop! so fun so fun. it was 7 floors high & it would be as nice as kino/borders if they had equal number of books for both chinese & eng. everything was just chinese except for one small eng section. bleah. oh well. jasmine felicia lipin & i ended up buying cool travel books. okay not really. it was like a series. i bought the 100 most beautiful places in the world & 100 more famous places in the world.. & its in chinese! hahaha amazinggg (: i shall get a dictionary & slowly translate everything hahaha.
the funnest part was the floor with all the CDs, DVDs, & VCDs! wheeeeeeeee. cus its not pirated (laoshi says so) & most of the CDs are like below 10sing! hahahahaaa so niceee (: lipin & i bought 2 TVB cds that we would share, she bought TVB shows (but its only in chinese i think) & jasmine & i bought the jay chou cd which was playing so many times all over china. until get stuck in my head. yeah but the songs are nice haha :D but i think he's ugly, no offence heh.
met priscilla, nic, seeyue & grace in one little corner. found out that they all nought eng books. jasmine decided to read those retarded (she said that) chinese stories while they was still time. hahaha. went back to meeting point & laoshi hadthis BIGGGG bag of books. obviously they were assessment books. so we were all like. oh for her daughters, poor thing.
us:
laoshi, ni mai zhe me duo de assessment books shi gei ni de nu (is it correct?) er?
laoshi:
gei wo de nu er zou she me. shi gei ni men de!!
us:
GE WO MEN?!?!??!
ahhh. so apparently the chinese department gave laoshi money to buy that 283901839books just for us. so thats where our homework, assignment, test qs all come from! ahhhhyo. & then lipin started trying to look for the title of the book so that she can buy the book while laoshi was letting her not see it hahahaa.
dinner time! this time, we dragged laoshi over to eat with us! the teachers btw, were terrified of the dinner table gang because we were eating soooo much during the trip. hence, we decided to let them experience the goodness of the dinner table gang. so the teachers tooks turns to sit with us. 2meals each :D since we only had 4left. :(
whoooohooooo & it was here we FINISHED EVERY SINGLE THING ON THE TABLE! :D even the big pot rice. thanks to seeyue, who asked me for 5-6 plates of rice (since it was nearest to me) even better. we went over to the other secondary table & continued eating their leftover food :D lipin jasmine & i finished up their nicenice veggie & i finished up almost all the soup. i think Ms Or's scared of me now. like really. ha ha ha xD yeah then grace & priscilla went round all the other pri school tables eating their leftover fruits, which were oranges. hahaha oh yes & we made laoshi play the fruit game with us hehehehe :D so now laoshi loves us. because she says its good not to waste food. hahaha yay (:
then, according to the iteniery, we were suppose to visit the bund & take a cruise along the huangpu jiang river. but we were told of no bund. so we started discussing what could the bund mean
seeyue:
isn't the bund that tall thing?
grace & tiffany (i think) :
NO! THATS THE ORIENTAL PEARL TV TOWER LAHHHHH!
oh dear did anyone say how slow seeyue was? when we were in hangzhou, she thought that we were in shanghai. & we would always stay in shanghai, not going anywhere else. thenshe thought that suzhou & hangzhou was in shanghai. ahhhh we all could kill her man, that day when that happened. hahaa
so whatever. we decided that the place we were standing on was the bund & we took hilarious photos there. :D we went on the cruise along the huangpujiang & lipin started saying that she wont get motion sickness if she was at the top of boat. bottom she would die. wahh. what kind of logic is that man. even ms or says that the bottom would be less rocky. its science dear girl. see, thats why you're so full of nonsense :D oh yes & nic, priscilla, seeyue, grace & i were at the front of the boat singing random songs (probably disturbing all the couples who were out there as well oops). nic took her titanic picture -.-. & then for some weird reason i cannot remember what, seeyue suddenly fell down (laughing i guess?) & she tried getting up again by pulling pris pants haha! which only resulted in priscilla falling down on the floor & the both of them were rolling around the floor laughing hahahahaa. weird friends, once again sigh.
then at night we started talking about class politics, which lead on to level politics. or least grace calls that politics. oh well. obviously our all time fav topic - EK - came on. & nic was highly highly disgusted by her. hahahaa. ohwell. she is disgusting. sigh.
amelia became known as the big story teller that night. cus she loves to tell stories using her loudloud voice but for some reason she keeps repeating the same line & never goes on for a longlong time. haha.
i shall continue with day 7 & 8 tml. but for now, i'll show one picture (:
during the cruise. that thing is the back is suppose to be the pearl tower. oh wait. it IS. ahhaa. seeyue grace nic me! (:
