Ok, just packed my luggage yesterday. Kept worrying last night and pleading my dad to follow me to China. Quite childish really. Told my mum that i am scared of pickpockets, kidnappers, theifs ectera ectera. Can't remeber what she said before my eye lid closed, something about, "Steady girl, the more you worry the higher possibility it will happen to you." Totally agree, i mean this life right?
Got to the airport, and there is my father nagging at me saying, "You see, you should always ask the teacher where to meet and whatever. You see, what big sign board? Where exactly it is? Next time when you reach China remember to ask........" I rolled my eyes and answered back, sacarstically, "Hello? It's 7.45 am, we are early okay? By for....ty..." I can't believe my eyes, right in front of me the group of Suzhou kids were there, almost all. So I am not the earliest, sigh. "There they are," i told my dad, pointing a finger at the group of students. tra..lalala!
Observation #1: I am among the very (very) few who have big (to me it's just well, normal) luggage. The rest carry really small ones, yup about the size of a school bag?! Serious, can you imagine?
All aboard pple, all onbard! Had a great time on the plane with Audrey and Lauren. If this was a library, we three would certainly be chased out. We laughed, we played, we slept and joked around. How i wish i could sit with them on the flight back to singapore.
We finally reached Shanghai airport after a 6 hours flight. Can you imagine? 6 hours you know. I was restless and kept wiggling about the seat, by the time we reached my legs was all numbed and rigid from sitting on a seat for 6 whole hours. I don't think it would be tt bad in first class. Obviously better. I mean you have space you have good food and yea everything else better than economy class. I was just wondering, is food that bad on air plane? Some teachers just dread it, why may i ask? Is it really that bad? Okay is quite dumb to think about this. Sha la goodbye shanghai.
I DREAD SITTING!!!! DREAD SITTING!!!! D-R-E-A-D SITTING!!! What awaits me was a coach. My eyes almost popped out, my mouth just literally dropped 1.4m down. No way man, you must be kidding, sit again? We just came out from the plane for good lord's sake. "Okay children. put you luggage here, bring your handcarry up. you would be having a 2 hours trip to suzhou. remember to take notes." I could hardly believe. 2 hours, 2 d--n hours. Puh-lease, i would rather walk. No more sitting, absolute!!!!
Still sitting on this "lovely" coach. with matthias sitting opposite me. what heck. then he and wensong started taking snapshots of me and vanessa talking and laughing. i realised and then asked him to keep it. (Interruption: those photos was to anger me, frustrate me. so pple do not, do not think the other reason) No, obviously he would not keep. Bored, eh? I am also bored. Come let's play, it's showtime. I started taking too. I was so mad i could fling the camera towards him, just as i use my waterbottle to hit him. I stopped it, he stopped it, Vaness stopped it, wensong stopped it. I went behind the curtain and didn't speak to anyone for about 20 mins. Came out and said a mere sorry to Vaness and than stuck out my toungue towards matthias. gave him a new nickname and shall always call him by that. quite long, you woun't mind, would you? okay here it is: Matthias Maverick Ng Jie equals Fatty Matty cum Obese Piggy. Had a good laugh, do you find it funny? Actually, i don't too. I dunno, but jmust don't find it...well, humourous.
Had dinner and went to the coach again. It has been 3 hours and the school still isn't in sight. Asked around and finally found it. whew! it has been a long day of....SITTING. boring. why, i haven't bathe. Oh man it, i hven't bathe from morning till now (10pm). So i told my grp i haden't bathe and needed to bathe urgently. Rushed into the toilet after getting toiletries and whatsoever. it's really great having to bathe first but it would be perfect if the water was hot. the water was freezing cold. brr...i could have been the male lead in Titanic if i had stayed any longer.
You must be wondering how can i bathe withought my luggage arriving. sorry about that horrible flaw. why, the china student was kind. it was long past their bedtime (9pm) but they woke up, said hello and hurried downstairs to carry our luggage up two storys. Amazing and helpful kiddos. Mine was among the last few. Firstly, i was the first toput my luggage in the coach. Secondly, my luggage was big and heavy. But still, i managed to get it and still managed to get in first. i got my items ready at the top of the luggage while the rest are still searching for their items which are messily packed.
while bathing, i think that actually needn't had to be so worried. I mean i am better prepared than all my other friends, all had my luggage nicely packed all the nesscities in the right place. While the rest, searching for their clothes right at the moment was dumping laundry and rubbish everywhere. Hey, my bed's the best position a bed could be. it's right in the middle and i could see everyone!!! Hahaha! good start, cheryl. good start.
Well, i am too tired to miss home or cry. i need to rest my soul and my tired legs all stiff and rigid now. I woke up in the middle of the night as i heard stiffles and sobs. oh man, don't say their crying. I hardly slept a wink okay pple, nvm. go back to sleep, have a great day tomorrow. and don't cry. never cry, hey you are p4s selected cos the teachers' think you are independent. don't cry, i just don't understand people's heart. when they are in s'pore, they plead their parents to bring them to overseas and now, when the wish is granted, they cry to go home. Is this what men suppose to be? Am i that someone too?
Well, good night and sleep tight. Sweet dreams and have a great day ahead. Good night
