Goodbye 18...

There is 2 days in which Yeah Hooi,Liying and I have conesutive age in terms of years, 20,19 & 18 respectively. Yesterday and Today. Tomorrow, I'll be 19th!!

I guess the craziest thing i have done when i AM 18th (excuse me, but i still am), is to sign up for the China Immersion Programm. I still can't believe that i am actually HERE IN CHINA!! And guess what, i will be entering a new "AGE" in this foregin land, which i have learned to call 家/home for the past 56days...

This is the first time i am celebrating my birthday overseas, and i do not know what to expect after receiveing Whipped Cream yesterday. Oh ya, i remembered something, for those in Singapore, Tomorrow is also Deepavali!! A PUBLIC HOLIDAY on my BIRTHDAY and I MISSED it!! *screams*

I am going to use my new wallet(right) toromorrow, so that I can remind myself that being older, i have to take better care of my finances. *Spending too much these few days*

Birthday Wishes.... not going to tell you.. heehee ^^

If you look at the published time of this post.

It says 11.59pm. But i'll tell you a little secret.

This post is sheduled to be posted at that time. I am actually typing it now, at 8.44pm. Heehee. I don't really do countdowns, not even for my own birthday. We have class at 8am tomorrow and we are suppose to hand is one video reflection and review thingy, which i am not done yet!! =(

I am THE official sleeping princess, and i guess that wouldn't change, no matter my age! =)

Of Whipped Cream

Yeah Hooi came into the room just now.. holding two small plastic cup, containing something white. She told me that Jun Sheng had bought one for her and the another was to be given to me. A closer look at it, and i noticed that it was a CUP of WHIPPED CREAM, decorated with bits of coloured rice!!

We were wondering why he did not buy another one for Liying and we managed to figure out the answer by ourselves. It was because it is YH's birthday today and mine is on Monday... So, if you were to do the maths, He actually bought us WHIPPED CREAM for our birthdays...

I have to admit that even thought it isn't the most expensive, nor luxurious, nor the-present-to-die-for, it was actually very creative and interesting of him to have thought of such a present.

So i am here, struggling to finish my cup of whipped cream.

I remembered that my mum used to bake cakes at home and so, having whipped cream in the house was pretty common. My brothers and I would beg her to squeeze whipped cream into our mouths. And sometimes, i would secretly go into the kitchen and squeeze some on my fingers and lick it without her knowing.

The most recent time we had whipped cream in the house was when i was in JJC for the first 3 months, that would be more than 2 years ago. I made a cake and decorated it using whipped cream. I would also squeezed whipped cream on cookies to eat =X

After typing so much, i still have half a cup of whipped cream to finish...

Back to savoring my birthday present...

One Very Happy Xinfei

Today, Xinfei self-proclaimed herself as the HAPPY-EST girl on earth...

I decided to reward myself for today's assignment hand in and report writing exam.

I bought myself a bear for my birthday^^

The store keeper sold the bear to me at 80yuan =P
(When we went there the other time, someone else told us the price was 100yuan.)
The bear attending class with us. If you're wondering why i brought the bear to class, it's because i bought the bear in school during lunch break...
I am going to name this bear Hammie.. heehee. It was down to Haji (which means 8 in Japanese, to compete with my mum's cat, NaNa which is 7), but i figured that Hammie is easier to pronounce.

Busy Busy

I noticed that i have stopped blogging this few weeks again. Two reasons:

1) I do not have the photos.

The photos are still with Yeah Hooi and sad to say, but my laptop is left with 35GB, so there isn't much memory space left for me to take in any more photos.

2) Busy!!

I am done with my Hero movie review due tomorrow, and i am(well, i was) reading the case study for the assignment due on Friday on business ethics.

I have yet to find a topic and the statistic for my report writing composition test on Friday (Graded).

And for next week, We have to hand in a video review on customer relationship due on Monday morning (30%) and last but not least, we have a 50% marketing exam on Monday in Chinese. Die!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What i am trying to say is, we are actually quite busy and i guess that we will be staying home this weekend.

One more thing before i continue reading my business ethics textbook, we have TWO (not One but Two) BIRTHDAYS over the weekend. Yeah Hooi will be 20 on the 25th and Muah (which is me) will be 19 on Monday. But will all the assignments, i do not think we have to mood to do anything, but i promise Yeah Hooi and myself that we will go shopping next week!!

Achilles' Heel

I was reading >Can you keep a secret?< by Sophie Kinsella this morning, when i came upon the phrase, Achilles' Heel. It sounded quite familiar and after a while, it triggered my memory...

There was once the movie Troy was aired on channel 5. I remembered that my mind was struggling with my body to stay awake just to watch Brad Pitt in some greek warrior costume. My kor was also watching the movie with me, at least i think he was, or he might be using his labtop in the living room, i cant remember. But anyway, he was out in the living room when he explained to me that Achilles Heel means the weakness point. I remember things my brothers tell me. See, the type of influence a brother have on their little sisters...

Anyway, i remembered that my tired body won that night and i didnt even manage to stay awake till midshow. So here i am watching troy again.

三塘街

It is Saturday and we are going to San Tang Jie with our Korean friends. I felt like i just came out from an Australian farm that day, wearing a red checked top, with jeans and boots. I might actually blend in with the locals in Australia.




Going For Lunch!













Time to give our legs a little break!!

Journey to the Past


This song was playing in my mind during the Shanghai trip.

Shanghai 上海

On 2nd October, we were off to ShangHai. Liying's distant relative (her grandfather's brother and his family) hosted us for the 4 days. It was heartwarming for us to experience the extend of their hospitality for a distant relative whom they have not seen for ages and strangers.








Evidence that we have been to shanghai. Nope, i was not talking abut the tower, i was talking about the security guard =)

The uncle's car had a open top, so me and yeah hooi was spontaneous enough to take a photo. Though i have to admit that i was afraid the traffic police will stop the car or something.

This is the hotel's cafe, where we had our breakfast each day.
To proof to you that xinfei's memory of places is very bad, i forgot where this place is... It's nice and pretty and all, but i cant seem to remember the name...I think is is Cheng Huang Miao but i cant guarantee









The piece of cloth at the side of the picture is my cap...

ShangHai Ocean Aquarium!! I wanted to uplaod the photos of the fishes, but i figured that i'll take too long. But i did upload some of it...







I know you cant see our faces clearly, but that is what i like about this photo ^^ You cant see our faces, but you still know who is who.



We will definitely go back to shanghai again !!
