Hey!
I am back! XD
Haha. Did anyone miss me? LOL.
Actually, I was back at about 0815 today, but I decided to rest first.
Erm. Don't think I am gonna go into every single detail of my trip though. I think I will bore u to death. Instead, I will juz do a brief summary.
So, Beijing 2008. Their biggest event so far. Seriously speaking, if they want to do a good job in 2008, they gotta buck up a lot. Their service everywhere was super super slow. Even collecting air tickets require us to stand there for like more than half an hour? In Singapore, this could be done in about 15 min... And, the people there. They could be quite selfish and rough at times.
Other than those, the trip was generally quite good. I like some parts, like haggling over an article, even though it is only a difference of S$2. Haha. Best of all, was the amusement park and skiing! Woo hoo! Their amusement park was very very big. It is split into 6 different sections with different themes. And, the roller coasters rock! Snow skiing was fun too! Cos the weather was not cold enough, they had to make artificial snow and lay them on a gentle slope. After paying about 110 RMB for each person, we started practising skiing. Quite fun. Not sure when I can do it again.
That said, we didn't see much snow. =( There was a little on the seventh day. But that was enough. The scenery was so beautiful. XD
And, the great wall of china. I climbed up!!! XD And I was the first! LOL.
Bought a number of stuff, though not a lot, cos some things are quite expensive even in their market.
Ok. Gonna stop now. Otherwise I will juz keep going on and on. Getting tired too cos of the midnight flight. I ended up sleeping in the plane only a little cos I was watching movies in the plane that I didn't get to watch, such as Step Up and Monster House. I also watched some movies that I forgot a little, such as POTC.
Other stuff now. Due to some unknown changes in the class system, I got into 3D. Some of my friends are coming with me too, like Clement.
And there is the Unit AGM on 20 Dec. It is some sort of ExCo meeting, I guess. And I think they are going to announce who got into which department and such.
Okie. Gtg.
See ya!
