The winter vacations are over. Pick up my schoolbag and I'm back to school. School is fun now. Time passes real fast when I'm in school. I've just had 8 continuous days of lessons. At least it wasnt too bad.
My form teacher specially reserved a place on the board to remind us on how many more days to the "graduating exam". It's 52 more days excluding holidays and weekends. I havent feel the pressure yet, but it's coming soon. The day of returning to Singapore is getting closer!=)

Imagine life without water and electricity... ... in the holidays. I've experienced it.
On Sunday, there was a snow storm. Before the snow storm came,there were drops of frozen rain falling from the sky. The wind was blowing at our face, carrying the "tiny frozen stones" towards our faces. I felt so prickly. The wind grew stronger and soon snow fell from the sky. This is probably the last batch of snow that we'll see in China for the year.
The worst part of the snow storm was that the supply of water and electricity were cut off at night. We were well prepared for this as it always happen. Candles were litted to light up the house, but still, they couldnt take the place of the fluorecent lights. There was no water flowing from the taps too. We savaged on the water that was left in the kettle. That was the only water that was drinkable in the house.
The next morning, the supplies were still cut off.It was rather boring, but we could take time to do things that we hardly do, like clearing our messy drawers and arranging things in place. My mom bought 10 bottles of mineral water that were supposed to last us for the day. The water finally came back in the late afternoon and the electricity came back at night.
We really have to treasure water and electricity.
Thanks to the snow storm, the winter vacations were extended. I was supposed to go back to school on tuesday, but now it's postponed to friday.But, we will have to go to school on sat and sun too... Such a funny system.
