11/14/2006 unstable web..one thing i hav discovered abt the internet down here... it can be quite unstable at times... there are times where certain sites just cannot be assessed... glad that this site is workin now.. but the rest are still inassessible...
so glad the other day that i hav linked up with hua ken, and will be meeting up with him for lunch... i am so so happy abt that .. being able to find frens whom i know of. i cant wait to see them soon .. and aaron too... when he comes !!!
its really a great time down here studying.... everytime lesson ends and as i walked back ... i always think of how amazing that i can be here and not anywhere else... to be here in beijing to study has been one of my greatest wish since army days.. though i did go thru a period of doubt initially when i was here.. but as i gradually adapts to the lifestyle down here... things hav become better... to know so many ppl are actually caring for me... oh and next year i might hav a fren who will be here for long term .. and as usual... its a they-know-me-and-i-dunno-them kinda fren....but its definately good to have more ppl down here... its really cool ( cold as well ) to be here !!! XD
11/13/2006 mee goreng !!! drool*its.. MEE GORENG !!!! i missed it so much.. thanks to sheryl for the effort... i hav been dying for msg filled singapore food lately... and seeing that plate of delicious looking mee goreng... only served to make me desire more.. haha... anyway, i am still thankful for that...
how i desired to meet ppl whose passion is also the same as mine... who knows what i am talking abt... who is willing to pay the price? i need this ppl to come along side and encourage me.. its difficult for me.. even to write what i wanna write down here, i dunno how to write it in a way that expresses my full emotions and thoughts... like wat william said to me, about me that i am a man who is very passionate, but when the things that i am passionate abt dun happen, i can be discouraged easily... aunty lilian said that i need to guard my daily time otherwise i will fail to be alert... so thats what i hav to do for the time being.. the struggle goes on...
(-.-) 11/8/2006 Begining to like it herei was just taking a stroll and looking at people walking up and down.. enjoying the very cold* breeze( more like a gale actually) i begin to realise that i am actually starting to like this place already. just a simple fondness for this place that i will be in for the coming four years. school work is piling up... things are getting difficult ( oh and for the recent test. i ranked 5 in the class *applause applause*) but still thru little ways by helping ppl in my class... i found joy, like helping them with school work ( currently giving tuition to this fren of my in class over maths ) and helping the class mates with the copyin of the lecture notes into the thumb drive( then i realised that many of them actually dun know how to operate a com *faint*) . still language is still a major barrier between me and these korean buds, but i believe things will change for the better.
temp is still cold.. wind is still dry and big.. .. my lips are still chapped.. welcome aaron !! to the land of the unknown... hehe... i cant wait to see u bro....!!!! 11/7/2006 The first day of winter..Today officially .. hehe.. is the first day of winter ... and one thing i learned today is that it is a custom down here that on the first day of the winter.. they all will eat jiao zi.. which kinda reminded me how much jiao zi we made and ate at paul's farewell at aunty lilians house... but well... respect the customs... so i went to eat jiao zi .. din eat much .. just a plate full. oh and they started turning on the heaters, which makes siting at my table comfortable..cos the heater is just beside the table.
well for school.. homework is piling up... but still not tat bad if i really put my heart to finishing it.. many times i am just tempted to leave it to the last minute... but this should change, cos i must never forget the purpose and the grace that i hav received for being here.. though, in the class its so common that ppl skip classes, or come late( i mean very late) or only appears once in a long while .. so much so that ppl i really know well enuff are actually the usual ones that are always there at the lectures, some times its hard to concentrate, with so many distractions ard.. i hav to keep my eyes to myself, something i am learning rite now.. to not to shop when i can't afford it anyway.. yeah.. so keep praying for me .. to really make good use of the time here... power of language.Just the other day Daddy showed me as i was reading the history of literature of china. the power of language,and how during the cultural revolution, how different writers rise up and wrote many great literature that has affected that generation of ppl... and i thought to myself. will that happen to me too.. ? i always say that a picture can speak more than a thousand words... but recently i began realised that words, when put together, can make a person think, imagine, feel, creating pictures in the mind that no picture can represent, like sowing a seed and waiting for it to grow. how am i goin to reach tat stage. seems so far away...
just yesterday i heard from aaron that he is coming in a couple of weeks, on a school trip. boy, i am so so happy.. finally i am going to hav visitors!!! by all means i am going to find him and meet up with him when he comes... so so looking forward to it
weather's turning cold, down here i guess the temp isnt the coldest, but the winds are surely the worst thing u can expect... during the childhood days when parents say to their kids who are very skinny.. 看你这么瘦, 风大一点都可以把你吹走... down here it can really happen wan lor... so big that cyclin against the wind became an exercise... and at night it can be quite scary to hear the wind blow outside..
