training hangzhou to beijing
10:22 a.m. || 2010-07-03 |
I�m kind of looking forward to enjoying this 12 hours ride. After travelling for 8 days, it�s a refreshing change to just lie down and do nothing. To think, to reflect, to blog, to look through the photos of the past 8 days. It would be nice too to continue travelling, just from city to city. Transport and accommodation are convenient. Travelling can be spontaneous, the way I like it. As much as most people would disagree with me, ie Tiffy & CXY. I�m so glad the people at home are going back to Singapore with me. Missed them before I even left for this trip. Kept getting reminded of them too, like when I see geek stuff (ZY) & cute shirts (XY). Only 20 days until we leave China for real. 20 days to prepare to leave the place we call home in Beijing, and to see the rest of China I want to see. 1030pm: The train tv is showing Finding Nemo dubbed in Chinese! Nemo is calling 老爸老爸!0.0 ttm. Toy story in English! & a Chinese touching gangster film. Up, slumdog millionaire. Finished watching and the ending theme song is a bollywood dance to JAE-HO! So familiar, its our FOC mass dance! Feels like ages ago man. PENNE omg. 7.09am: Morning experience in the train, had a good 6 hours uninterrupted sleep. Saw how china people wash up and brush their teeth, how they used mineral water instead of tap water, cleaned their nose, especially the older folks.
Lost more money when I thought I lost enough. Bought a train ticket back to Beijing, which costs DOUBLE of the initial FLIGHT ticket. Bought a pair of skates, one of the wheels was spoilt. Felt like just smashing the skates. FML TTM. And at that moment, I wished I had someone there for me.
Random muse while walking along the street. Somehow we were talking about death, and SQ asked me 为什么要现在死,I said 无所谓,but was thinking, I want to take 225! and all those fun modules in my stars plan. Missing school, missing friends. Time really flies, its just so easy to nua the days away. 3rd day out of 5 days of staying in Beijing. Exam, spending time with the drama class (playing murderer and lunch), sitting on a motorbike, eating 148yuan jap buffet with ZY (sashimi woohoo), visiting Summer Palace (boring), Xidan shopping with Tiffy & Cheryl (spend more money gosh), tried sea salt coffee (quite nice), ate spicy malatang thingie which is more spicy than malatang (and gave me a stomachache but the food is still nice), tried corn juice (nice too), catching a sad and touching movie 海洋天堂 with the girls, getting back and submitting our academic results, DIYed ZY's birthday cake with SQ & Tiffy, planned ZY's celebrations and we shall see how the next 2 plans-less days go before I fly off to Wuhan. (:
不去湖南,留在北京,上台词汇报,完全是值得的。 星期天的早上八点。 之后在等其他同学考试,开始聊天 班长说了一些班事 , 后来走出48教,我们随口问了一些同学 到了西街的一家餐馆 最后结账了,三位男生坚持要请客 和另外一桌的同学告别了 不知怎样,跑到了外面 至少,三四个月里留下许多回忆
Went 还回来, favourite 饺子 place with ZY & Tiffy after that. Its been quite a while since going to 西街。 I'm so going to miss the place, the 饺子,烤窜,一盏茶..so many so many... and CXY is out clubbing, I wonder what time would she be back.
Only 表演班.
We had 形体汇报 a few days ago, with the 2008 senior class. Our 藏族舞 went fine, then we watched the seniors perform. Their 形体 emphasize on creativity with their bodies, its so awesome, its the kind of things I love and expected from 形体 all along. It made me want to join the class for real, and go through the 4 years of syllabus they go through. Today was their 表演课汇报。 They were very sad at first because they were not allowed to go into the theatre and put up a public performance because they were not up to standard 2 weeks ago. Today's performance was held in their homeroom (their classroom & rehearsal space) with the 2008 seniors and us as audience. It was so good. Some were funny and with great chemistry, and some were so touching and 温馨。 Almost everybody in the audience was crying at a point of time, even the guys, and we could hear sniffling from all around. Personally impressed by the 张金 directed piece about buddies going to war, 红阳洋's acting as a grandmother, & 颜一海& 罗欢's duologue is uber cute! We had to leave with the senior's batch when the show is over, leaving them to their debriefing. I didn't want to leave, its so magical, the feeling is there, I want to be with them, I want to be part of them. 是一种难以形容的感动。 Hence made my decision, to go for 台词汇报 as part of the 表演班 this Sunday. (:
Friday: 东单日昌+后海 am so tired now. -snores-
2. Ice queen Wang Jing became so warm, surprised me when I was waiting for my turn with her preppy jiayou! 3. The kind of look and smile on Zhang Jin's face during 形体 when our eyes met, "你们什么时候走啊�~ so aww and it made me feel so sad!!! 4. 老师 bought red bean 粽子 for the class. Apparently in China sweet dumplings are much more common than salty ones! & they were amazed when we told them our dumplings had meat and mushrooms inside. =X point is, personally I find the dumpling not very nice compared to the ones in Singapore, but when they ask 好吃吗, I really meant it when I say 好吃,because its just so 窝心。 (: 5. Dinner @ Jap cafe T-ku, & the 老板(who is only 2 years older than us) is so cute and funny! He's like "对,我刚剪了头发,不准笑。� I had this super nice teri-yaki chicken rice, and he was saying "今天鸡肉有点少,找你五块钱�~ 6. Drama teachers announced that there would be a 综合汇报考试, on next Sunday. I had enough of more and more things piling on when I thought school is susposed to end long ago! So when 李立宏 老师 told me that Tiffy and I are susposed to present our poem, I told him that I'm going Hunan. & omg he's so nice about it. =D 7. Away for 15 days! Fenghuang(3)-ZhangJiaJie(3)-Wuhan(2)-Shanghai(3)-Suzhou(1)-Hangzhou(2) can't wait! 8. Yet still feeling sad and mixed feelings about seeing the drama class for the last time really really soon...and thats without any attachment to anybody at all. =X 9. She's so old, they're so old. Time apart forces you to notice the marks that time leaves. 10. Its harder than I thought. So easy to fall into traps of aggression. So easy to get irritated at the slightest things that I have grew to forget.
Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday ~
还是觉得我很可怕,
"Supei Loh stood for an hour plus to watch 升旗礼,shopped at 西单 for 8 hours with Chua Xin Yi, climbed mountains & explored 爨底下 for 6 hours with Cheryl Heng in the past 36hours. (: tired~~~~~~" and to add on the parts not for parents' eyes: 美联福 is on fire (saw the fire engine, police cars, smoke & crowds on the way back home) Scary shit, I was thinking while walking back to our block, hoping that everybody is at home. Thinking how easy it actually is, for any of the 6 of us, and Hendric, to be buying stuff at the supermarket. We were there yesterday, and apparently Zhiyuan was there about half hour before the fire happened, and I would probably be there when the fire happened if Cheryl & I didn't stop to eat malatang before that. scary shit..if anything happened.. ..and I saw 2 kids, 3 years old girl & 4 years old boy kissing with both mouths open at the rural village in 篡底下. =X They were sooooo cute! Both ended up in tears after that though fighting over a badge. Day trip there with Cheryl & her spanish friend. Journey there was super long but it was worth it, although kinda like the 京东大峡谷 that we went to with Tiffy's classmates. The kind of town that has a really really nice and peaceful feel, so different from the beijing city, yet gets boring after a day. Flag raising was extremely disappointing. Nuff said. Went to eat the typical beijing breakfast after that, first time eating proper breakfast in beijing life! =X Went there at 3am and reached home again at 7am. Would go for flag-raising again, just for the feel of the cool night air at 3am, and for seeing the sky turning bright. hahaha such a sucker for things like that.
Next week is unofficially the last week of school, thanks to 端午节 break. A week to finish the last assignment (电视剧原理),learn 太极剑 for PE exam,memorize 小说 for 表演班演播,plan an awesome itinerary for parents (and then try to be the best tourguide when they come), buy some stuff & pack luggage so that parents can bring back. busy busy and hungry =X
形体课也已经到了第三阶段,比起刚加入的时候,已经感到自在了很多。 记得当时觉得自己is a super misfit, attracting everybody�s attention and always the last and following behind in embarrassment when they do their moves. 而现在,我已经可以在形体班乱蹦乱跳, 现在学的藏族舞队形我还站在第一排呢!虽然藏族舞不是跳得很好,可是我有自信看着镜子里的自己在跳舞,觉得自己is one with the dance and with the class. 虽然还不会hold prolonged conversations with them, 但至少现在坐在他们旁边以听者的身份加入他们不会觉得不自在。 我越来越喜欢形体班了!第一学段女生学的是基本形体和中国舞蹈,男生学打斗和扇子舞。第二学段大家一起学水袖,刀和打斗。学会那么多在新加坡几乎没法学的东西,我还蛮proud of myself 的。 在新加坡有多少人会中国舞 ,藏族舞,打斗,刀,和水袖的技巧和组合啊? (: 觉得舞蹈最讲究的是节奏和身体的驱伸,觉得打斗和刀 很cool! 觉得和水袖有个love-hate relationship. 水袖就是一种一开始实在太难学的东西,而且真的要每天练。但一旦master 了它,水袖会听你的话,又非常漂亮。还记得有一次杨杨老师让学武术的李连正上来告诉大家他练武术的经验。He�s super funny, 他说:�就是要天天练,早晚都练,练到全身痛早上爬不起床也得练。然后就能比老师好,因为老师只是教,自己比较少练。。�杨杨老师was so stunned. Haha and he said all that in a really earnest way, it�s so awesome. (: 而教打斗和刀 的韩老师就喜欢强调身体和健康的重要性,没有了健康你什么都没有了。他也分享了他个人对运动热爱的观点,运动是一种解放。心情不好, 累了,去跑步游泳心情肯定会好些。总之这些老师的苦口婆心我感觉得到, 相信好老师不只是教书本上的东西或技巧,而像他们一样说些生活中的东西才是真正的priceless.
