open our mouths

Just saw a variety programme called Fei Chang Xin Jia Po. It screened Joi Chua and Michelle from mediacorp. I love to see Singaporeans on China TV.

Guess what?! They also screened Singapore's very own Mandai Zoo.I WANNA GO HOME!!! They also screened the Merlion.I CAN FEEL A PINCH IN MY HEART!!

I want to admit my love for Singapore.. I LOVE YOU SINGAPORE!!!<3 I am so proud of you.

Btw, China loves Xi You Ji and so do I. haha.They screen it in almost every channel, with different productions. I love the one in which Chen HaoMing is SunWuKong.I get to see Bao Lian Deng too. The show which I watched halfway in Singapore.

I LOVE SINGAPORE!

I find that my life is rather INTEReSTING.

I was born in Sweden.And as a baby, I travelled to Paris and France. I first went to Singapore when I was one year old. Sweden is pretty in its white coat of snow. Only remember these memories through photos.

When I was about three years old, my family stayed in Austin Texas for about two years. I could remember the life there vaguely. I used to catch squirrels in the park. These animals seem to roam freely, with freedom. Autumn was beautful. They mainly consist of the colour red and orange. A nice combination. I love to rake the leaves that fall.=)I woke up one morning and saw little snowflakes falling from the sky. Winter has arrrived=)We ski down those small snowy hills.I made my very first snowman over there but it melted when spring came.Halloween was super fun over there. Ghosts, Zombies and Skeletons were wandering around in the night. There was so much fun in this "Dead World" I attended St Matthews Elementary School- a school for Preschoolers.The friends there were so friendly. I remembered my best buddy then was a china girl called huifang.Maybe it's because we are both chinese, thus we can communicate well. I don't feel any "missing" feeling when I left austin texas. Maybe it's because I was too young then.

Now that I am fifteen years old, I am yet in another country. This time it's China. The biggest country in Asia. Now, I will really remember the life here clearly. Well, I have to admit that I am more of a western girl than a china girl. I cant speak chinese well. haha.. I reckon it's because of my English speaking family. But this time I really miss Singapore. I have so many wonderful friends there. I am starting to be patrotic nowadays. I LOVE SINGAPORE<3

I've been to western countries and an asain country . Hope I won't end up in some indian country.=)

7 August is my day- MY BIRTHDAY. There were no friends by my side on my birthday. But I received birthday messages via mail. Sylvia, Gracia, Dianne and Serene also sent me a birthday present from Singapore. I have yet to receive it.Wonder what it is?I celebrated this simple birthday with my family. I received gifts from them, had dinner at a restaurant and ate a super creamy cake. This is a late post as I couldnt access my blog then.

Serene did a nice pic for me. I think it's very pretty.

Some people over here think that we are Koreans. Maybe it's because there are quite a number of people staying here. And Singapore is truly known as Hua Yuan Cheng Shi. Almost everyone refers Singapore as a Garden city. And the funny thing is that they always ask me about Sun YanZi and Lin JunJie.. They seem to like them very much. But the prob is that I don't know about these two singers.. haha.. So I don't know how to reply.. Next monday marks the end of the Summer Vacations.. Counting the days...

During the summer vacations, we went out of YanTai two times. The first place we went to is Penglai. The second place WeiHai(Liu Gong Dao). Both are small towns of ShanDong.Here are the pics..

It's a new start.When I first stepped out of the plane into Yantai, I felt a cold wind brushing across my face. Wow.. It's spring over here and the temperature is 20 deg Celcius.The air is rather dry not like the moist air of Singapore. The airport of Yantai cannot be compared to that of Singapore.No wonder Singapore's airport is one of the best in the world







First stop was the guest house- my father's boss' property. The place was beautiful. They even had a dog called meigui. She was soooo cute. The Scenery in the guest house was like that of a garden, ful of flowers, full of live.And the best thing is the majestic mountains just outside the guesthouse and the waves of the sea crashing against the rocks are just a few hundred metres away. My family and I conquered Mount________=)









Second stop was to find our very own apartment. haha.. I really love my house now. It's clean and green. It is also a training apartment. I am currently living on the fifth floor and there are no lifts.I am living in a place called Da Tan










Third stop is to find a school.. Yantai PeiYing School is just 10 minutes walk from my house. Rather convenient. On the outside it looks quite presentable. But their toilets are horrible. No toilet bowl, no cubicles and it stinks. They just have some holes for you to do your business. haha.. I have never used the toilet in the school. It's horrible. I am rather pleased with my final term results as i managed to pass overall.. haha.. I am quite proud of myself as my chinese is horrible in Singapore and I can still understand most of the questions in the examination. The education system over here is a bit higher than Singapore, except for English.. The classmates here are quite nice to me, except the girls in my class. They are not friendly. My class of 23 people consists of a range of age. Most of them are older than me by one to three years. It is quite similar to that of my class in Singapore as there are only 6 girls in the class. I didnt take up any CCA as there is no time. I miss gym and piano lessons.School hours are from 750am to 615pm, with a lunch break in the middle. The teachers are really really nice.. This school educates from kidnergarten to 'junior college". It's a private school. We have lots of homework here. I don't like to go to school.Now it's the SUMMER VACATIONS. I'm having a long , relaxing but boring holiday. From 10 July to 4 Sept. Ahhh.. My holiday is ending..=(

Fourth stop is the church. We are currently attending an anonymous church. It's a private one. I realize that many of the teenagers in Yantai do not go to churches. Only a few. Christianity is a popular religion here, after Buddhism. My church is rather old. We sing traditional chinese worship songs. They aren't inspiring at all. For example, they are songs about being Good Children etc.. Most of the people who are attending the church are eldery people.Ahh... I really miss NC Youth.. I miss the worship and teachings in NC Youth.

They have wierd food. They have alot of seafood here. Most of the people grow their own crops. The things here are 5 times cheaper than in Singapore LOOK AT THE PRAYING MANTIS

It has been four months since I stepped into a new country. New life,new house, new places, new culture, new climate, new people, new food, new school. It feels like a drifting dream.Up to now I still find it funny to know that I am in China- a place I had never thought that I would live in.

I wasnt able to access my blog for the past four months. Thanks to my sis who found out that we could now access, I am able to update my blog=) I am over the moon=P

I REALLY REALLY miss everything in Singapore.. Especially my friends. They are the ones that make up SINGAPORE. I wish I can grow two tiny wings now and fly back to Singapore anytime I want.. I cant wait to go back.. I received pretty good news. I might be coming back in Nov if my father is not asked to stay on.I am depending on God's plan now. But I really wish to be in Singapore now.Now, I can conclude your hometown is the best place.. Now I understand why people compose chinese poetry about them missing their Gu Xiang

I want to thank all those whole me have a pleasant farewell.. Thank U all for all the efforts.. I really am touched and appreciate them alot.Here are some pics that I want to share...
