BEIJING BEIJING.
its one week and 1 day alr. this whole week we've been like walking round, sight seeing a lot. not much of studying, but we've just started sch today and its biology lesson now, equivalent to my free time.

i miss sg a lot, but im kinda getting used to beijing. the cold weather is horrible, every night i spend like approx 1 hr going through my clothes, packing and unpacking and folding them, (cause i bought and brought too much that my luggage can no longer contain them anymore) and deciding what to wear the next day. like whether it ll be colder, and how many layers i need etc

also, im down with a cold. so horrible. staying a rather erratic cold weather in a foreign country far from home is bad enuf, with a cold to go along. hmph.
and im practically leading a maid's life. i sweep the floor, because its dirty and i wash a lot of clothes. uh just maintaining my personal hygiene :]
i skipped breakfast in sch ytd morning to eat in the room with ym so that we will have more tim e to use the washinng machine since no hci guys will be using it early in the morning at like 6 plus?-.-
can you believe our desperateness to wash??

ehh. my roommates, or rather, all the bsp scholars have been like damn nice and its fun hanging around with them :D seriously, you ppl make life here much more endurable.

PS SHOPPING HERE IS GREAT

hey ppl. im in beijing now. been here for 3 days but it feels like 3 weeks. zomg.
i have like 40 more days to endure in beijing and another 2 weeks in china. ohman

so far its not exactly very bad. apart from stepping on a coackroache trap, and uhh having a hard bed as well as a stinky washroom and SUPER DUPER HOMESICK, i guess im still fine,
trying very hard not to fall sick here.

i really miss 309 and a lot of stuff in sg! claire bear, chelly, tiny, steph, nic, jong, jelly, tongie and so many many others.
really, if only you guys were here.
but the bsp scholars are really nice HAHA. its fun with them around too.

and i love shopping here though.
and i still cant start my training here. missed a week alr, cant imagine what it ll be like if i still cant start =/
no mood to post more now.
counting down to return to my dearest hometown.

firstly, today is officially the day of my freedom! HAHAH.
exams ended though it truly doesnt feel like it.

now here comes the irony:
before math paper today - ppl were playing unos. and totally acting like its the end of sch.
there was a scurry of discussion abt where we'd be going - movies, ice skating, or gaying in east coast park.

then, aft math paper, when we are finally liberated, the weird thing happens.
math ended at 10am, at 10.30 am, you walk into 309. you see a group of gals sitting on chairs in a circle, doing nothing. and they start coming up with suggestions such as going home to sleep.

and finaly, we reach jec. and we were not very keen on skating so we had a wonderful suggestion of studying! AHHA.

of course that didnt happen. i ended up uh playing cards with jelly and jeong and ended up losing like 30 bucks wth. i have bad luck and skills haha.

a random convo:
rania: i want nuggets pls!
jeong kindly treated me because she was the biggest winner.
jeong: rania, what drink do you want?
rania: huh?! chicken?
jeong: hurry, what drink you want.
rania: OH. sprite pls.
jelly was lauging her head off.
rania: oh i was wondering how come mac improved until they give you diff flavours of chicken to chooose from. like for a second i tht they'd offer you terriyaki chicken or smthing.
-----------------------------------------------------------

today was hilarious. a lot of random bits and pieces that made me treasure and love my frens a lot.
went for the farewell party at night. saw my dear frens whom i expected them to.
took lots random photos which i shall upload tmr.
I MISS SKATING.
I LOVE YOU ALL SKATERS.
RAWK-ON FIGURE SKATING. :D

YAYEE. firstly, exams are over. well, almost. leaving only chem and paper one.

anyways, one day, during math, when mrs ng was giving us some random qs, rania felt bored. so she was smsing huilin and it went:
rania: tell me something funny. like a joke or funny incident.
huilin: once upon a time, there was a bird named rania. she flew right up to the clouds and bang. she died. the end. T.T
rania looked at the sms, and replied, " thats not funny at all." like seriously -.-

chelly saw it. ^read read^ burst out laughing.
rania stared at her. "its not funny!"
chelly: yes it is!
and she showed jeong.
jeong read. laughed.
passed on to nic and claire.
a moment of silence passed as they read.
then another uproar of laughter.
rania stared at them in horror.
all: its quite funny wat!
............

today was hilarious.
supposed to meet claire in holland v but she didnt know how to go from sch so i suggested her taking bus to my hse before heading together. anyways my hse is on the way so yeah.
rania: take 961 or 174 ok!
claire: yeah when im on the bus i ll call you when to stop!

few mins later phone rang.
claire: hello im on the bus alr!
rania: which bus did u take?
claire: 171
rania: omg get off the bus now.
claire realised and took another bus.
later she called. im on 174 now i just passed kap, where to go ah?
rania: you are suposed to take from ny side!

in the end i took a bus to meet her in kap.
we were both apalled at the no. of ny ppl there so we walked to bukit timah plaza, trying to find somewhere to study but realised there werent anywhere.

we couldnt afford to waste anymore time as it was around 1 alr.
hence, we came to the decision of sharing cab to holland v.

we were both left with no money aft sharing cab and buying a drink.
livia was supposed to meet us, but she smsed and said she was tired gonna slp, and might join us afterwards.
poor claire didnt eat her lunch so she was super hungry.
but we had no money.

so we kept sending smses to livia asking her to bring money and stuff and hurry up come!
but she was sleeping alr.

after a long long time, we gave up.
then, we saw vanessa's sister haha. what a coincidence. and she sat at the table right beside us.

claire decided she couldnt stand the hunger, but my phone was on low bat so claire wanted to dial livia's no. but then, my phone shut off.
desperately, we asked vanessa's sister to call lynette (livia's sister) to get livia's no. HAHA
but livia was still sleeping.

after 15 min, claire suddenly realised something.
she might have stuffed a note somewhere in her wallet as emergency money.
frantically, she rumaged through her wallet, and pulled out all the contents to find her life saver - 10 dollar note.
and so she suffered 3 hours of unnecessary hunger. haha.

this past week has been rather fruitful i must say. i am somewhat not bothered by the ** incident.
anddd i must say i feel proud of myself. today i planned to wake up at 8 to study, but somewhat after 2 days of consecutive intense ( as so i think) training, i woke up by the sounds of the alarm and turned it off because my muscles were all so sore i couldnt stand it. in the end i i woke up at 10.36am, having slept from 11.45pm the night before.

then after breakfast i started doing physics notes until now, which is for 2 hrs. i feel so proud of myself. :D
however there are so much more to be completed. IH for instance, i havent started it and its my weakerst subejct. but, after all, its only 0.5 weightage so heck larh.
i swear i ll spend more time studying for math.

one random incident i say i would blog abt:
last sunday koh and i turned up in novena sq looking GAY. like seriously. purple and red fbts. wth? we look totally gay haha. and she changed same theme as me. and we realised we both have flat feet and tennis elbow which is supopsed to be a disease. LOL. it makes us officially gay partners. HAHA.
BUT thats not the whole point. we spent a good 10 over minute roaming around, deciding where we should settle down and study.
koh saw "shilin" and points excitedly at the direction guide. "lets go there!"
we stared at it, i said" i think its further down there".
koh " no, that side got nothing, it shd be the other side".
so we both walked back to sq 1. and scanned and asked a couple of ppl and realised it made more sense to be at sq 2. -.-
walked back to the original place with the guide. walked further down in an ullu corner to find it -.- wow. 20min gone. HAHA
mugging was unfruitful after all.

my muscles are aching like crazy from past days training. i swear i should've burned fats but thats not the case. eeyer.

btw one random fact. i slept at 10pm one day, set the alarm at 12 to wake up and study, only woke up horrified at 6am in the morning before sch to find out it didnt ring because i set it at 12 noon -.-

GO RANIA. NI XING DE
a to do list.
1. 3 past yr physics paper
2. 3 past yr chem paper ( almost 2 completed)
3. 2 or is it 3? math past yr papers
4. 20 summary passages for chinese
5. 18 close passages chinese
6. IH IH IH
7. math revision booklet

firstly, i think this week, no, actually starting from like ytd or so, i felt like so happy and light headed. as though ive finally unloaded a burden. ( in fact i think i did, after i tht thru some stuff and xiang tong :D)

okay i have some clarifications. i am soooo not on a diet. because i EAT A LOT. if u dont believe me, i ll show what i mean by A LOT.

i ll cite you today as an example:

6am: breakfast. drank milk. ate cereal.

9am?: sch during umm chem? tablebuddies started chewing on my 'wheatables' MUAHAH. (and its not a healthy food i realised even though it looks like hamster food as quoted by jennifer -.-) i realised it has sugra and like salt and dunno what unhealthy stuff on it!

9.45am: ate whole packet of wheatables, which is in fact, VERY FULLING. i watched the whole grp of ppl mainly consisting of tablebuddy, stephpang, chelly, huilin eating and it seriously does not tempt me at all. canteen food is oily.

12pm: lunch breakkk. ate bread. i needa save money!

2.30pm: bought mango juice and drank while meeting zheng laoshi

3.30pm?: went to pop and ate THE THIRD KIT KAT BAR THIS WEEK + oheyo

4.30pm: drank bubbletea

6.30pm: dinner - ate a bowl of rice and meat (no veggie as usual xD)

7.30pm: cherries to provide my vitamin C!

8pm: ate half a durian mooncake. and i mean, those LARGE ONES. =/

and no more so far. i do hope i wont eat anymore because this kind of lousy eating habbits is UNACCEPTABLE.

anyways, attemp to jian fei always wont work.

AND BSP IS QUITE STRESSFUL. i have to work on a lot of stuff. and theres so much to cram out. but nevertheless, im confident yx and i can handle this well :D

EOYS EOYS. like wth. i dont care. why make my life so stressed up la. i ll mug when i feel like (which is most prob in sch) esp during humanities period BUT dont worry i ll some how find a way to force myself to study really hard. because i do want to have good results. but at the same time, i cant stress myself out so much.

after all, its only eoys and WHY MAKE MY LIFE SO MISERABLE WHEN LIFE IS SUPPOSED FOR YOU TO HAVE FUNN?! :DD

i know next yr is gonna be a really tough year, with guzheng SYF (being a sec 4 senior is not easy, being a lousy and setting-bad eg senior by missing gz for a long time because of leg injury and china trip is even harder, as you have to work extra hard and prove that you do belong to the cca.
secondly, im trainin hard in epee. much as i feel that foil is truly my love, epee is fun in its own way too. and yes, i will train hard. regardless yog or not, i will continue it. because FENCING IS THE LOVE :D
thirdly, im gonna dance twice a week. latin is definitely in, and perhaps either salsa with nicole goh, or um hiphop orrr chinese dance! haha with steph? o.0. i do want to get in MAD in hci.

fourthly, i am still weighing my options whether to sign up for the leadeship development prog thing. i know it requires commitment too, which i am not sure whether i am able to do so. however, i truly believe that it does inspire one, as a person, to mature and develope too. Furthermore, i strongly believe that if i were to put in effort for that, it can be truly meaningful and funn.

lastly, sec 4 is not an easy year to cope, in terms of schoolwork. the passing grade is msg <3,>

life is not gonna be easy, but i ll embrace it. AND MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT :D

ps this was supposed to be a really short post, proving how i am NOT ON A DIET. but it turned out to be some lengthy grandma story. ahha. i need better summary skills.
