It has been a routine for me to update my blog on weekend liao.. cos there's nothing to update from my daily work except maybe for the lunch... haha
So 7 days a week only left the last 2 or maybe the last 2.5 days that is more happening...

For the past weekend, i had stayed in my apt for 1 day, 0.5 day on fri n the other 0.5 on sat.. Actually last fri some of my apt mates went to cheong at some club called 'mixed' at the worker's stadium.. me didn't go becos dun feel like cheonging everyweek... hehe.. no money also.. but heard from their review is that the place is much better(in all aspect.. haha) than the banana club... Think they are going there again this coming fri, maybe i'll be joining them then..

Sat went with km n the landlord to settle the broadband connection at home, cos the current plan only covers 20 hours then after that charges will be calculated by per hour...
but in the end didn't manage to change the plan into unlimited one cos the telcom here is super inflexible.. dun want to bored everyone with the longwinded story... just want to complain that sometime a simple matter/procedure in Spore can become very complicated here...

Went to Xidan again to get my anime dvd.. quite shock that the police here actually do conduct sweeps on pirated stores in China.. haha.... but the trip there isn't fruitless as the pirated store owners still have lots of stocks in their possession, so i still managed to get the anime i wanted, although the transcation is done a bit in secrecy lah.. unlike the first few times i went there...

Tat's the end of sat, finally went to some tourist attraction today... Actually wanted to go to the great wall, but due to some unforseen factors, we decide to change the location to tian an men and the forbidden city..

The place is really ancient.. it's f***ing big also... entrance ticket is priced at 60 RMB, students are only charged at 20 RMB.. initially we wanted to smoke the ticket seller using our NTU matric card.. haiz.. but in the end still have to get the 60 RMB tic.. haha

The bad thing is that forbidden city is under restoration(must as well say renovation, cos basically they dig up all the tiles n place them back again.. but bo bian, some of the paintings on some buildings are really in such a sorry state that if they dun do anything now, there will be no more forbidden city left liao... n the deterioration is further worsen by the heavy pollution in beijing city.. haiz), so can only view the main hall... quite disappointing.. but even if the castle is under restoration, i can still feel the ancient aura of the place... every tiles, trees, steps, seats, wall.. basically everything there has its own story that happens long b4 our time... wow.. the feeling is really... if only i'm able to travel back n fro the timeline....

Ok, now to the stupid thing i've not able to forsee today... the batt on my digi cam gone flat after 30 photos.. forget to charge it b4 i came out n i didn't bring my extra batt... damn sian lor.. in the end have to borrow cam from my apt mates to take shots i want.. a bit paisei also.. then short while after my digi cam batt went down, my hp batt follow suit... bloody suay.... haiz... but nv mind, still manage to compile abt near 100 photos from the cams i've borrowed.. hee

Initially tot km's sup is very 'irritating'.. haha.. cos he's always ard.. literally, cos we, the interns, always like to meet up after lunch at one corner in coke to chit chat, then dunno since when, this sup of km will somehow appear within the vicinity of us... since then, when u c km, u see his sup.. haha

But after a few talk crap sessions with him, i find that he's actually a very very zai person.. that explains his status as a beijing uni grad. My access to blogspot in bj is due to him too.. =)

Same as the rest of the days, we had a tok cock session with him after lunch today. There, he brought up the topic about our purpose in working in coke.
His stand is that we should learn as much as we can during our attachment here as life as a student is the best time for one to pick up things and learn to fail along the way. N this i agree with him..

There has been a sentiment of home missing lingering ard my apt lately.. haha.. well, that's 在所难免 i guess... for my roomie,km, he has been away for nearly 1 year le, n lately he got attached, so somehow he's in the correct place at the wrong time ba.. every nite u can c him getting busy busy.. haha..

For me, there's also much to be done in singapore, but i feel that since i'm here in bj, must as well make the best out of it.. currently i'm doing database, same as what i've done during my DIP.. so somehow it's getting a bit boring, as in i feel that i'm not learning as much as i think i should be... n more or less i'm worried that i've very little things to write for my final IA report...well, c how it goes after this project. shall aim to complete it within 1 1/2 months ba.

Also for the past 3 weekends, me n my apt mates have been visiting shopping centres n electronic marts... although i'm interested to know of what they are selling there, but i feel that i should explore bj in some other ways, as in the old fashion way... the old buildings, the culture, the old city feeling.... maybe it's becos of the summer heat, it takes pretty much inertia to start to venture out of my cosy apt.. haha... shall make myself more adventurous this coming autumn, heard that the scenery here in autumn is splendid... now that i know what are the ways to get back home, shall plan my way round beijing city...

Still pondering whether i want to venture out bj this coming 1 week break in oct...hmmm... pondering...

I'm back... haha.. now a bit luan.. shifting between friendster blog and this blog..
think i'll be shifting back to this blog bit by bit ba...
cos i can somehow update this blog using IE n view it in some other browser called touchnet(which supports other proxies that allow me to bypass china firewall)... haha

So a bit ma fan... so must as well everything all blog inside friendster's blog.. cos my photos are in yahoo... so there's not much a prob in choosing which blog to blog in... after all it's all words...

Think i'll blog all the happenings in beijing in the friendster blog. Then maybe occasionally add a few tots(those small happenings) in this blog ba... Cos i think friendster's blog a bit difficult to read the text... cos very small.. tat's what i c from my comp lah.. dunno whether it is the case from other comp...

Ok, to mark my return, shall say a bit of today's happening here...hehe
Nan de beijing got 'long' life rain... haha... it has been raining for the past 1+ day liao.. nite is getting colder... went to the electronic city this afternoon.. n it's raining.. tot the rain will subside after some time..
but no lor, it start to get heavier.. in the end ganna drenched from head to toe.. with the northern wind start to blow... wor.. rainy day here can be very very cold......

Guess this might be the 'last' post on this blog; that's if china doesn't allow access to blogger, yupz, i'll be flying off to beijing le. To all my friends: cya soon!!! =)

In the meantime, do jia you in whatever things u r going to do, be it work, fyp, new workload in new semester...... ALL THE BEST... hee

p.s: if u dun find me updating this blog anytime within the next 1 week, most likely i'm shifting my blog temporary to http://chaos-in-peking.blogs.friendster.com/from_beijing_with_love/

Yupz, went for the final briefing for COR today. Ain't suppose to be there, cos i'm not going for the trip le, so something like go also no use... haha..but in the end still went for the briefing anyway. Will be the last time meeting some of them b4 i fly off to beijing le; pple like eric, jason, lixuan, darren, adrian, shirley n many many more....

Just want to wish them all the best for the trip wor.. bet they will enjoy themselves thru'out the whole event. I shall be looking out for photos from the expedition soon wor.. haha =)
