the day where China celebrated its 60 yrs anniversary victory over the facist ideology... the day where countless pple gathered on the ground of Tian-anmen square to listen to 北京和平宣言... the day where hundreds of pple flooded the mrt cabins...

the day where our PKU prof decides to lecture us on the jap culture instead of the lesson proper. His immense knowledge on jap culture and history and its relationship with China deeply impress me. His views and arguments show an unique and proof-worthy perspective of the actions of japan during and after the Sino-japanese war. To conclude, he's unbelievable...

the day GIP 'founder' Prof Lim came to visit us and gave us a 'piece of his mind'; he's here not to lecture us but to tell us the importance of being magnanimous, on how to think 'big', on not restricting our vision to only what's in front of us, on being able to think in the shoes of others, on being able to see the different cultural perspective of different nations and pple, on how 'real' the world is, that it is not perfect, on the need to speak up, on the importance of interdependence of the systems ard us, on the need to be different and most importantly, to be able to think objectively...it's a long but memorable dinner.

the day i lost my brand new China sim card due to carelessness... the need of a phone num 'force' me to get a prepaid card in China a week ago; only activated it on thurs. Due to the lack of an extra phone, i have to change my spore sim card and the china sim card quite often. Then today since i'm too lazy to change into china sim card in the morning, i just chunk it into my wallet. An afternoon of activities in Xidan made me careless over taking care of my belonging. Guess the sim card just fell out when i'm taking my wallet in and out of my pocket; the sim card was hanging loosely in one of the pouch compartment.. so sian.. wonder if i'm getting another sim card after this.. thinking.... thinking....
