Little workers: It was said that there were ordinary Humans who wished to be Higher thanthe Taoist "God" without doing anything. Thus, the Taoist God granted their wishes by tying them on the roof his statue is resting so that they will always be "physically" placed higher than him as a form of punishment.

The day started real early. Around 6am for me and the grls in Room 123. Met the rest at the foyer* and went off to meet Mr Wong and the other students from the other division.

We were suppose to climb till the peak today but since it rain... The climb was postponed to the next day. We spent the day by visiting the local attractions located near the Wudang Mountain. There were alot of temples and halls that contains different kinds of Taoist God(s). I had some difficulty in absorbing the fact that they (taoist believers) has alot of God during IS lesson. When I saw the statues, I am able to understand more. However, I do think its alittle confusing but I shall keep my opinion(s) to myself as religion is a sensitive issue.

The first highlights for the day was the Wushu practice we saw. Most of us were inspired to copy some of the moves. We took a group shot and MDE shot with Mr Wong as the 'Shifu'.

The second highlights was the HOTEL WE SLEPT IN! Whoohoo! 

LUXURIOUS!!!

(luxurious until all 3 woke up late-.-)

grls 123 at room 3302

The beds are much bigger than the hotels in Malaysia. Papa, if we ever go China as a Family, we book a room of two single beds and it will be enough for all six of us. I'm not kidding! Yes sir, we slept leisurely. Arms spread, legs wide, I think I look like a starfish when I slept. The 123 girls shared a room again and boy, we laughed ourselves silly trying to cramp our faces together in a picture. (: 

*foyer is actually our dormitory corridor near the staircase.

Day 18 - Shopping at Han Zheng Jie

i think this was pretty cool.

Stress during test. Too many things to write and not sufficient time or maybe its just me who dont know what to write,thus just writing down what I think is appropriate, when some are not? Okay, enough about tests and that includes results!

B.A.S decided to go shopping today right after test instead of following Mr Wong to see the sakura(s). Sorry Mr Wong, hope you were'nt too lonely. lOl(;

Shopping at HAN ZHENG JIE:

1) CHEAP!

2) WE ARRIVED JUST INFRONT OF THE 'SHOE-CITY' AND thought there are only shoes in that street. HAHA.

3) SPENT MORE THAN 400 RMB?

4)  !!!!

Its so much fun shopping with friends especially when you are allowed to spend a little bit more than average and able to bargain your fill. ((: I dont normally get these shopping opportunities and freedom like this (shopping from 3pm to 9pm? can you believe it? =)) Arriving at the Shoe City first causes some confusion but once it sorted out, I began to relax walking down the street w my classmates. Although there are some times I checked behind my shoulder to see if XY was following but of course, that was just me getting too used to someone who was once always there? lOl. Xy, what happen to you eh?

Shop till almost all of the shops closes down. Hash bought her last item(SHOES!) before we went for dinner. Mr Chen (refer to picture below) was the shoestall-co-owner. When he heard we planned to hail a taxi to go to walmart from there, he volunteered to show us a short-cut. Took us about 20 mins (10 mins if he walk alone) to reach there. Thank him profusely. ((:

DINNER AT KFC!! YUM YUM SLURP SLURP. okay. hee (: I had my first egg-tart ever. custardly feeling, damn nice. Why am i always talking about food? Mr Wong will continuously disturb me about the foods I ate if he know. -__- oh. i know why. Coz its nice and he jealous :P LOL

FOur of us bought flowers for Ice Sea (previously mentioned as ICY) and caught the bus (588) back. Main motive was just to give Ice Sea the flowers since she had kindly invited me (as claimed by Peijie) to go ktv to celebrate her birthday. However, Cherry and Benedict instead brought us to their ktv lounge. Though tired we are and packing, we have not, we stayed. I couldnt contribute much in singing chinese songs (hurhur). Had suggested and picked afew english songs but we agreed to leave for home not long after.

Reached the gate around 11++ and I panicked when the big gate was close. Zzzz/ Since I'm here blogging, I did not get locked out laaaa...... Okay, here's some uploaded pictures:

Day 17 - Last Day of IS

My paperplane notes.

shirt that i bought for 40RMB
No Idea why there's strips of newpaper on the inside of it.

Heyyo,

Roommates and I went for class at 1pm after doing our usual stuff (chatting online, bathe, eat etc) as class was cancelled (yeap, hip hip hooray!). All 3 of us slept pretty late the day before to finish up our overdued assignments and were all feeling groggy and kind-of, low-spirited.

I thought Xiao Lin Lao Shi class was getting interesting the day before. Today, Ms Sally talked about ethics and the chinese customs (and cultures) that are still practiced in their daily lives. I was a little more attentive than usual as that was one of the things that I have tried to get to know and has recorded down in my learning plan before I came. 

Unfortunately, I couldnt bring myself to stay long enough after 3pm that day. I tried to get some sleep during the second break but the area I was sitting was not too quiet (as it was break time and it seems like everyone was talking). I decided to went back to bunk the moment I taste bile in my throat. Initially wanted to take panadols but changed my mind and sleep instead.

I felt bad leaving IS class halfway when I woke up to let my roommates in. I hope I wasnt marked down too harshly. Concerned friends/lecturers reading, I dint throw up afterall, please do not worry. 

Something I have to share though: MsXiao Lin Lao Shi actually gave me handouts on the "Muslims in China" and some Chinese Superstitions that I asked for yesterday. I'm very touched and moved that she remembers. Turns out, the whole lot of the others took photos with Xiao Lin Lao Shi and had thanked her personally. Can't believe I had totally forgotten it was the last day. @_@

I'm gonna show her that I've learnt something in her class but for now, nobody needs to know.
