it's fun when u r called to recite...
i put up that beijing accent...

and guess what!!!
the teacher said " well done"
and the students all laughed...
so after that we had lunch in the school canteen...
elian was bored tooo XDthere is only 1 stall
or rather none...
no choice...
served like prison style???
metal plate metal fork metal spoon....
food erm...should i say it...
heck la...it SUCKs....
(or maybe bcos we have been having every single meal in a restaurant (:)
so after that we had free time....
free to explored the school...
were told to go to basketball court to play....
er...but no balls heh...
play what???
so we hanged around the excercise equip areas and the pingpong room...
i name the latter myself...lol...
It was cold...as seen from my facial expression..
praying: pls dont break...
in the ping pong room....so our break was extended...
i dont know why but ya...
anyway there was a 50 cent coke seller..
600 ml bottle...
dirt cheap heh....
so we were ushered into some resource room....
read books???
i guess thats what they want us to do...
anyway we saw a pretty gal along the way up the resource room...
a pretty china gal...mmhhh...
hard to come by...
i was with er....elian? or is it glenville??
anyway ya so elian/glen decided to bring others along to search hunt the gal down...
i was tired...didnt want to follow them...
so i read my tuesdays with morrie...lol...
after that was the lian2 huan1 hui4...
there was performance from ba1 zhong1 side as well as SJI side...
there were alot of dance items by them...
all mongolia sort...
so SJI....
known for songs and cheers???
so we did our stuffs...
a song...
and i was pushed to the middle...awkwardly..very awkwardly...
right in the front...bleahX....
i think i blocked some ppl...from the camera...XD
so after that was the trip to liu2 li2 chang3...
was quite boring...
since i had my seal carved liao....
i got it real cheap at a good price...
so i basically tagged along with my group...
taking pics along the way as usual...
no wait....i didnt cos it was too cold...
most of the shops were closed...
and it was like very dark lor...
the whole street is like all selling the same stuffs lor...
not interested...
paintings la and other hangings and artworks...
dinner and back to hotel....
Day 6
so its the BIG day today....
summer palace than scavenger hunt.....
the summer palace is huge....
reason??????
its even bigger than the forbidden city...
although it doesnt feel but i guess its true...
since my knowledgeable facils says so...
i guess its due to the friggin big lake...
its almost like a sea...
cos i cant see the other coast....
now i now why the empress dowager prefers to stay in the summer palace...
the view and scenery and surroundings are awesome man...
besides its cool during summer....
so we were given task...
to answer questions and unravel the mysteries..
by travelling to places and look for the answer....
After that something bad happened...
we were asked to assemble at the exit at a specific time...
but a few groups didnt keep to the time...
and they were late...
very late....
cos they were buying souveniers....
so the early ones like us were sitting in the cold...
it was freezing...
its the summer palace i guess.....
mr heng told them to give the things up and come back....
but some didnt thats why he was uber angry....
i understand why they didnt want to give the things up...
first they already paid for it....
second its very nice...
the painting...
but they were wrong la.....
so everyone(the adults) was angry...
all the disappointment and stuffs...
got a hearing from them...
they even want to cancel scavenger hunt....
bcos of safety reasons....
then they want a rep from us to tok to them...
i wanted to go but was hesistant....
i mean i m the most "" ya one...
i also dont know what word...
in the end i guess elian wants to rep us...
so he went...
and he succeded....
we managed to go for the scavenger hunt....
so we skipped one station and started off at the 2nd stop..
due to time constraint....
so we landed up in tian an men square...
then we took the Mrt/train/whatever they call it....
trust me SMRT is much better....
so we had to go around to different places via train service...
and take photos to proof that we been there....
one of the task is to find out how much a 100m sq unit wil cost in that shopping mall....
so i managed to get the phone no. of the office...
so i called.....
they put me through then asked me to wait....
so i waited....
no response...
so i put down...
then after like 15 mins i decided to call again....
in chinese in a very polite tone: "excuse may i know how much is........."
in loud chinese:" how mnay times do u want to call...i told u before..."
in a puzzled tone:" but this is my first time..."
louder:" ya right...I dont care but i m going to tellu one last time......."
(all this above is supposed to be in chinese)
(but i figured out if i typed it in hanyupinyin u probably wont get a thing :))
How dumb....
what good service man...
cant even differentiate voices....
no wonder this is______
I would leave u to decipher whats the blank is.....
after that was shopping at xiu4 shui3 da4 sha4...
the heaven for imitations....
i bought VCDs and a pair of shoe....
and i fell SICK!!!
luckily it was the last day....
i lost my appetite....
WOW...how i wish i could lose my appetite everyday...(:
and it was beijing duck lehz...
anyway thanks sebastian and thad for "serving me"
I was wearing 4 layers in a restaurant with heater!!!!so after dinner was the presentation of buisness plan...
though i wasnt feeling quite well i decided to go down....
and lent my support...
but its a pity i couldnt present....
I came up with the speeches...(:
so we did our presentation in the hotel's conference room...
and my group was up first....
we awed and mesmerized the room with our buisness plan....
this is no exaggeration....lol...
since i couldnt present i became the camera man....
after all eight groups presented....
and after the judges made their choice...
the results were announced...
We got.......
2nd....
it was quite a dissapointment....
we really wanted to win badly....
we lost out by 2 marks....
i think the problem lies in....
we didnt mention about our surveys...
cos we didnt survey at all (:
whereas the winning group was like ba1 zhong1 here and ba1 zhong there...
talking about the surveys they conducted in every other sentence...
or maybe we would win if i went up....
and turn on my charm...LOL....
and the winning group got their prize....
cool man...
authentic olympic souveniers with certs....
a set each for every1 in the group....
so after that thaddeus and I went back to our room....
not long later the door bell rang...
kiaboon came marching in....
followed by mathias....
then kiaboon loudly shouted....
stupid china bikini man.......
and a whole lot of vulgarities...
not suitable to post it up...
my blog is clean:) and i wish it to remain as it is....
so i got the story from mathias...
here it goes....
setting: the corridor on the third floor outside the conference room
characters involved: kiaboon mathias elian alwyn and the china bikin man(hotel guest)
ok so the story is like that....
it was after the presetation...
kiaboon mathias alwyn and elian were walking down the corridor...
they were i think making alot of noise...
or bcos they were one of the last...
the ppl before already made alot of noise...
so this hotel guest was obviously very mad bcos of all the noise generated...
i think he was awoken from his sleep....
he was dressed in nothing except a brief...
so he jumped out of his hotel room and shouted some vulgarities at them...
they were shocked by the sudden voice....
kiaboon being very um....
attitude and loud and no-pushover lind of person...
shouted back....
so a quarrel started....
so they were shooting strings of vulgarities at each other
both not understanding what the other guy is scolding....
kiaboon was in english and hokkien
while the bikini man was in chinese obviously....
so they(kiaboon abd the bikin man) were both very agitated...
while mathias elian and alwyn were kinda scared....
so he chased them all the way to the lift....
they all went into the lift leaving the bikini man...
still swearing....
they were all afraid that the bikini man will chase after them all the way to the lobby...
but he didnt....
obviously...
he was only in a pair of brief....
what a sight man....
if he really chase them al the way to the lobby...LOL...
ok so explanation time...
why the bikini man is called the bikini man...
bcos he's in a pair of brief...
but how did bikini came into the picture i didnt know...
and kiaboon was also saying that the briefs were kinda of see through...
LOL...
mathias seconded it....
and his toot was very um...um....cough... very small...
wahahaha....i dont know

so after that was the "party" at elian and alwyn's room....
glenville and jeremy joined us...
so it was me thad mathias kiaboon alwyn elian glenville and jeremy....
as usual it was full with food...
especially its the last day...
