HEY people! Guess who's back?
I am SO sorry for forgetting to blog for so long. Maybe I should set a timer or something next time. Since november 1 let's see...nothing much happened except for the LEP trip, which is a grand tale of its own. I will day by relate the stories =3 with an effort to upload some pictures.
Today, I will introduce Day 1 =3
On the FIRST day of the trip, when everyone's unfamiliar with each other, a group of 29-8 -n (in this case 8 is the number of ppl from my school that has GSC, and N is the number of people who went first then meet us later or whatever, I am getting confused here) +2 (Teachers) set off for Beijing in Changi Airport Terminal 3.
I didnt take any pictures of Terminal 3 that morning cause I was still half-conscious; woke up at 5.15am, somehow got to the airport without losing anything or forgetting anything on the way...ok back to main storyline;
We got onto the plane, the 29-8-1 (N=1 in this case I THINK hope I didnt miss out anyone) +2, just in time, cause there seemed to be a shift in the Plane-Ticket-Give-Out-Gate (sorry I forgot the name). We're a big group, so we move slowly as well; so we got onto the plane, and started exploring the Kris World, signature virutal machine of Singapore Airlines.
I played Poker with Ren Qi and Zhi Qiang for awhile, watched Wall-E, listened to a few songs. Wall E is really a nice movie, talking about how humans are inspired by two robots and decided to face the reality and save Planet Earth from an overdose of Garbage. After lunch, we decided to be abit more involved with each other =D and played Bridge, and tada! Li He joined in. First two ppl I knew from others schools.
Then er.. at around 1 to 2pm? We reached Beijing's new airport, and it looks like this:




This first picture's the plane that we took, and the rest depicts the airport, yea.
We met up with a really tall teacher, male, quite young, whi teaches at the school that is hosting our trip this time. He looks alot like Yao Ming; haha. For your info yao is Shanghainese =3. We took a bus to dinner before settling in to our hotel. I will get rachel to gimme her script abt the dinner soon. It's fabulously written =D.
We had interesting food that night; not Beijing style, but certainly unique. Quite oily, alot of them, but nice nonetheless. Then we returned to our 4 star Garden Hotel to rest for the night. The hotel's really comfortable, esp when we're freezing to death (ok not that serious) in Winter..my room's air-con is somewhat stuffy, I dunno abt the others, but the facilities are really nice.
Shall continue tomorrow! There'll be alot of things to say hurhur
