open our mouths

School has finally come to an end..One whole week of holiday for me.. The best part is that there is very little homework.=).

hehe.. I really love this board.. This was done by the NC youths. I really miss my church in Singapore.. It's so much fun and mature.

I feel that the people in my school are rather pitiful.. Their first home is actually the school.. They rarely get to go home.. Some even stay in the school for the whole semester..Everyone can only feel at home when we are at home.. Home is one strange feeling that cannot be explained..

China's national day falls on 1 october every year.I cant feel the China Spirit over here.. It seems to me that the students over here dont really love their country.. They keep telling me that their country is not as good as the rest of the world.. They also dont sing their National Anthem.. Only the small kids would really sing them proudly. Flags cannot be spotted hanging outside their windows.. Singapore's National Day is so IN..

Gou Gou is really active now. haha.. He loves to bite my shoe and swing it around madly with his mouth.. He is learning how to bark and can now show tantrums..haha.. And, he knows how follows us to school every morning.. He can recognize out smelly feet, I guess..

In chinese lesson today, I learnt a meaningful phrase. It's English meaning goes like this:"May there be enough clouds in your life to make a beautiful sunset.. " The clouds here represent the negative things that happen in your life.. It's only when you have sorrow, can you enjoy happiness. We should think of life the positive way=)

Tomorrow, there will still be lessons for the whole day, although it's a Saturday.. haha.. I know You all must be pitying me, but fear not.. Cuz, I am having a whole week of holiday next week.. haha.. It's China's National Day on 1 October.. And, in November, I will be having another week of holiday..Woohoo.. Holiday Rocks!!hahaha..

The Sports Day has been postponed due to some circumstances. It would be held in two weeks time..

My school is going to give out the newly designed school uniform.. lol.. We had been wearing home clothes to school all the time.. The guys will wear long sleeve shirts with long pants. Girls will wear three quarter sleeve blouses with a knee-length skirt.. My classmates who had seen the uniform commented that it's quite nice..haha.. I've yet to see it..

Being a foreigner can be quite.....wierd. Lol.. Sometimes, there will be beady eyes staring at me and people whispering,"ta shi cong xin jia po lai de" haha.. And, most china people think that only people in their country knows how to speak chinese..I just spoke a few sentences in chinese, and some of the teachers say,"ta lai le bu jiu, han yu jiang de na me hao.." haha.. Big achievement for me, but I think I still sound the same..haha..

The leaves are turning red and falling to the ground.. But, it's still quite warm here.. The temperature is about 25 degrees in the day and 10 over degrees at night..

Autumn has arrived, I wonder how is winter like in Yantai(China) I love holidays=)

Yipee.. My class won first for the drawing of the backboard competition.. haha.. I was so happy. My sis and my efforts were paid off..

My class also won first for the rules quiz.. lol.. What can you expect? My classmates were the ones who stayed in this school for the longest time in the Chu Zhong Bu(Secondary Department).

GouGou is much bigger now.. he also knows his name..He will respond upon hearing his name.. Isnt he adorable? We see him everyday.. We also bring him home almost every day except Sunday..Gou Gou is Gold Gold.. haha

17 September was dad's birthday.=) Happy 44th Birthday Daddy..I love u.. God bless U with Good Health and Wisdom.. You are the best daddy!(who else is my earthly daddy?)haha



dad with his birthday cake



haha.. we are playing with dad's birthday candles


I have a new classmate called Wang Kai.. He's this bespectacled guy who is rather quiet.. He joined our class on Tuesday and is still trying to get use to the school.

I am going to take part in 200m, 800m and long jump for Sport's Day.. It's gonna be held next week in the school's track..There's also 1500m..Not many want to run for that race..haha.. And the class with the most points will win the Sport's Day championship 2006.. Hope my class will clinch it..=) hehe.. Gonna start training on Sunday.. Havent been training.. But, up to now, I can still do my shredder, split , bridge, cartwheel, frontwalk,etc.. haha.. I must maintain this and not waste my efforts..

The second week of school has finally ended. I enjoyed this week of school. Sometimes it can be boring to stay at home for such a long time.

My duty is to clean the windows every morning. And, it's so disgusting. Every morning, I will see different kinds of big insects in the window curb.Some alive, some dead and some squashed.My classmates are always the ones that help me to remove them.I hate insects-including real live butterflies.

I made friends with several Koreans from the Korea department. They are Lin Ah Lin, Jane, Angelina, James Kim,Moon and Sun.. Haha.. Funny names..Well, I find that the Koreans here are cool. They wear clothings that you wear to orchard road everyday and their hairstyle changes every week. I wonder how can their hair be so curly one week and super straight in another. What's more surprising is that a girls hair was so short in one week and so long in another..haha.. I wonder who's their hair stylist?

I just had a chemistry test. And, it's tested on the fourth day of school. Crazy right? haha.. but I am rather happy..I got 78% haha.. But guess what? Wang Xiao Jian scored 96. Pro? I really want his brains..haha..The lowest was a failing mark.I am in the average range. One of my biggest acheivements here is to learn the chemistry terms and element names in Chinese..=)

haha.. I get to bring Gou Gou home every lunch time. I love Gou Gou..He's so guai. Whenever we bring him to school, he will cuddle in our arms like a little baby, with his belly facing the sky. So So cute.. haha..But yesterday, he was rather naughty. He shitted on my school shoes. Fortunately I have another pair.

I am in my class committee-in charge of publicity. The monitor is a guy called Han Zhen Fei and the monitress is Wang Shu Wen. There's also the studying encourager, Wang Xiao Jian, the brainiest classmate I have ever met.. He seems to be a computer..He really deserves this post. There's also the hygeine maintainer, Zhang Zhi and the PE leader, Sun Xiao Tao.

Let me introduce my class known as Chu Si Yi Ban:

I am eating a stick of bing tang hu lu as i type.. It's this shade of red..haha.. it's so delicious..

The army training competition went smoothly, except for a drizzle. haha.. I was a flawless soldier in front of hundreds of soldiers.. hehe..thank God for it. I really miss my instructor.. he's so nice, patient and funny.he's from dong bei..I cant see him anymore..=(

My form teacher put me in charge of decorating the back board with chalks.. this time I have to do it by myself.. I really miss the good old times when 1e6/2e6 ppl had so much fun decorating the backboard and the entire classroom..And even the lilinites painting the church together.. Turning so green..haha..I am going back to sch tommorow to decorate.. I'll probably ask my helpful sis to help me out..

My School is a school with a wide variety of students.There's kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, jc, korean school and even a mechanical engineering school. all combined together. And, my classmates are all from different parts of china..

I've got a new puppy that was just borned three days ago for the week ends. He's so so so super cute.. We will be borrowing him from a shopkeeper every weekend..This is so cool.. haha.. We named him GouGou..He's grey in colour, and has a black face..So innocent looking.. haha..But, he's not used to the environment now and is rather sad..Hope he cheers up=)He's so cuuute..haha..he's sleeping now..hehe

It's been exactly four months since I stepped into Yantai. I am feeling so happy.. hehehaha..

Wang Shu Wen was nice to me today.=) I did my homework in the wrong format for English, as I do not understand what they are asking for(it's all in Chinese)She taught me my homework very patiently and gently. She was also rather nice to me. =)haha.. Actually she is a very helpful girl but she is a little bad tempered..I wish she will be nice to me all the time.Thank God.

As we had to stand under the hot sun for about half an hour without moving, we were very thirsty. During the break, my friend called Sun Xiao Tao offered me a drink.So thoughtful.=)

We were taught to march in a more complicated style today. And, I was the only girl who cant march properly..Lol.. I cant be a soldier.. But, yesterday, my instructor praised me for being the best person who perservered when we stood still under the hot sun.. hehe.. I was like a wooden block=)

haha.. I look like a malay now..lol.. I am getting darker everyday and my skin is peeling.

Tomorrow is the last day of this army training.. I will never ever join the army---hopefully=)

I wanna join the ZHSS Teacher's Day celebration. I wanna join the gym spirit as they dance during the concert.

I agree with this quote:
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality. - M. Russell Ballard

So, Everyone is a teacher if she or he has taught someone something. So, HAPPY TEACHER"S DAY TO EVERYONE=).

Spring was long gone. Summer is coming to an end. Autumn is at just around the corner.I am waiting for Winter. I love the four seasons.
