i woke up at 610, went for breakfast at 7.. i had sandwich as usual.. ham and egg. after tht, we attended our chinese com class. haha we were supposed to learn the "han yu pin yin" for 繁体字。but in the end, we told the tcher we want to use han yu pin yin for 简体字, so he allowed us.. which means it was easy work for us la. basically, we just haf to type han yu pin yin and the 简体字 will come out:D we typed out a short sample essay, then we had to type out a chinese letter to send over to singapore. I wrote one for my mum, and 2 for my buddies!<3 haha lastly, our tcher asked us to look for a chinese website and type a chinese recommendation letter of the website. it was quite a cool activity i guess.. i managed to complete it:p then we were able to slack after tht.. the com lab computers are damn fast, so i was busy chatting away on msn:p ohyah, i love my com class tcher.. he's damn racist!! hahahaha shant blog bout wad he says here.. anyone interested to noe can email me:p
so yep, after com class, went for lunch with clan at the canteen. we took 6 plates of dishes this time.. normally, we take only 4 plates. but anw, we managed to finish all the food la.. really full after that.
and the cool thing comes:D after lunch, our tcher brought us to this taiwan famous attractio called 耶流。its this place which has loads and loads of mountains and rocks of all kinds.. its a great place for geography lovers (like me:p) you can see lots of different kinds of rocks formed by different kinds of weathering.. its a cool place, but its really cold cuz its at higher land. the place is beautiful because mountains are everywhere and the rock shapes are really pretty.. you guys can see from the photos at shutterfly:D
after tht, our tcher brough us to 杨明山。most of the people went for the hotspring.. and i heard that it was damn good! too bad i carn go:( if you are clever enuff, u should noe the reason why laaa:( so in the end, i went to play table tennis with 5 other people.. it was quite hilarious cuz we were all noobs at table tennis, so the pingpong just flies everywhere except for the table:p
we had our dinner at the restaurant in the resort.. it was really grand and its a buffet style. i ate alot alot.. for eg, sashimi, soup wok, chicken, mushroom, fruits, ice cream, etc. haha damn yummy:D:D
yup! then we headed back to our dorms le..
DAY 7hello! today is day 7 and i really must tell you its DAMN DAMN exciting:D jinx chow and me woke up tgt at 620 and as usual, we reported at 7 in the lobby. the tchers gave out bread for us to haf our breakfast.. all of us were quite full from the sumptuous buffet we had last nite though.. after breakfast, our tour guide came. oh i forgot to intro him.. he is called AH HONG. haha he's quite a nice guy, and many people think he looks like lin2 you4 jia1 from 星光帮(?)。yupyup so many ppl thinks he's quite shuai, not too bad la hor?:p
haha so yea we got up the tour bus and went to a famous tourist attraction called 淡水。firstly, we went to eat a famous food called 阿给。it's a big taukwa thing with 东粉 inside.. really yummy.. must try it when you guys go to taiwan:D anuder tour guide came along and intro-ed us bout the history of tht site.. its really cool.. like a foreigner came to 淡水 to spend 30yrs establishing the education, religion, hospital facilities.. cool rite! haha and guess wad, we went to the sch where JAY CHOU filmed the movie SECRET. its quite a cool and beautiful place i agree.. took alot of photos with chow's camera.. haha i love the school.. quite mysterious, but damn beautiful. and guess wad loh, there's even a cemetery in the sch.. quite freaky. we walked around 淡水 for 3hrs.. we then got up to the bus to have our lunch.. we could not haf our picnic outdoor cuz it was raining the ENTIRE day. it was 超级 cold can.. rain just keep falling and the wind just keep blowing.. *chill man*
after lunch, we went to the place where the soldiers in the past place their canons and all. its really old and run down but i like it cuz tht shows tht its ORIGINAL wheee:D haha and the structures are really creative.. basic materials and structures are used to defend themselves against enemies. i really admire people in the past.
the next site was 渔人码头. we took a boat for a 10mins' ride and arrived at their 老街。i bought 铁蛋 and 鱼酥.. haha heard tht they are famous tidbits at 淡水. yup shopped around for awhile, then we took the boat back to the jetty. following tht, we proceeded to a chinese restaurant to have our meals.. its really yummy and sumptuous too. there was a wok full of vegetables, 7dishes and 2 desserts.. there were many leftovers but the food was definitely good:D
HOHOHO! then we went to 小巨蛋 to watch 罗志祥 concert!!! haha damn cool leh.. i love the lightings and stadium and his costume! i love his dance also.. he's quite shuai i realise.. haha then his mum popped out on stage and he started crying.. haha this is the first time i attend a concert, and i really am amazed by it. as in the audiences were so super high, screaming and all. we were quite high, despite seating at the very last row:/ haha the songs were really nice, and the dance got me really hyped up:D guys who can dance are really good. we left the stadium and headed back to our dorms.. had a short lecture with the tchers and im now happily slacking in the room. haha jinx is writing her journal while chow is still rushing her hmk for her lessons tmr..
ahhh talking bout lessons, i really dread it. i dun wan lessons to start tmr.. i want to continue going around taiwan and just having fun..oh guess wad, i just turned around and realise tht jinx and chow haf already dozed off while doing their stuffs halfway.. HAHA pigs.
actually, i think i dint really like describe the details of my everyday event properly.. its really brief and i dun like it:( but ahhh wtv.. shant think bout it anymoree:D
ohyes, the tou guide showed us the movie SECRET for like 1hr and i havent complete it yet!! URGH i need to go watch it on youtube alr laaaa:/ i carn be left hanging down there.. dun like the feeling man.

hello.. today is day 5(:
i woke up even earlier today.. at around 6. i jumped down from bed once jingxian came out from the toilet. i chiong to the toilet to brush teeth, wash face, change to my uniform(cuz we are going sch visiting:p)
after tht, we picked up our packed breakfast.. there were 2 puffs, one food tht the doraemon likes to eat and a packet mil tea(with wang lee hom's pic on it) haha u will be able to see it in the pics uploaded:D
after tht, we walked all the way out of the campus to the GUTING railway station. we took to TAIPEI main station then switched to the 高铁. haha its this train tht goes really really fast.. and u haf to be there like earlier to wait for the train.. the concept is almost similar to the plane. i haf posted pics tht show the seats in the train:D
after an hour's ride in the train, we reached 台中。 Mingdao sec sch is situated there and the teacher IC received us at the lobby of the railway station(: we took a bus in 10mins, we reached the sch. its a reeeeally large campus, with 7000 students from sec1 all the way to jc2. i love the campus.. much bigger than rgs:p so yea, we were assigned to buddies. and my first buddy was 博雅。she showed me around the school and explained what they normally do at each site.. they even have a BBQ pit in their sch leh! cool rite! yup she's really nice.. i talked to her in chi while she replied in eng.. so liddat can practise our weaker languages:D haha she's damn nice.. i miss her man..
after the introduction, i was assigned anuder guy buddy.. he's not really friendly.. he just pangseh-ed me and went wif his other guy friends.. so i just tagged along with clan:p we played games and like learnt bout teamwork and leadership, etc. games was not too bad.. had much fun:D
after playing games, we went to join the sec1s for their maths lessons.. haha but their tcher allowed us to play games with the sec1s and like interact. so the sec1s invited us to play the game NINS, where you draw circles and strike them out. the one who strikes out the last circle will win.. my buddy was called 维奇。she was a really cheerful girl.. she was super curious about the languages we learn in singapore and the culture. when i told her there were indians and malays around, she was really excited. haha the sec1s are damn cute laaa! i took photos with her.. its uploaded:D maths lessons was fun, and the tcher was really nice too. the boys in the class actually went up to hug their tchers.. so sweet rite.. tht shows how nice their tchers are.. not like s'pore's tchers.. so cold and all:(
we went for lunch in this small hall and met 2 new buddies:D one was a girl and the other was a guy.. they are both 14 years old:D the girl is called 书曼 and the guy is called 胜慧。haha both of them were damn farni and nice.. they were really sweet and patient.. like they talked to me warmly and tries to understand our culture, also more than willing to share their own culture. haha i personally really like 胜慧。haha cuz he's really damn cute and nice.. though he's quite shy in front of girls, but can tell he's really sweet and all inside:D
after having our lunch, we went to watch a show put up by 木卡姆。it was damn good.. they put up so many dances.. oh btw they are from 新疆。it's a really cool perf.. every dance represents each different kinds of culture.. haha i really enjoyed the perf.. it was a song throughout the 1 hr perf, but complemented with amazing dances too.. it was an experience la:D
after the perf ended, we attended anuder 成语 class with our buddies. This time, I sat with a new guy. He's really dao and cold loh.. then at the end when the tcher gave us small card to write to our buddies, he told his friend he dun wan to write:( i was damn sad laaa. then i kept thinking whether i should write.. later i write he nvr write, then i damn paiseh leh:/ haha but in the end i wrote:D he also!! his card was really cute!! shall post it up:D haha.. then i asked 胜慧 for an extra card, cuz i wanted to write to him:p haha he's a really nice guy. yup so i wrote to him and he wrote back to me leh! i was damn surprised, but really touched:D so we exchanged our cards and yup i said goodbye to him:/ he will be coming to singapore next year jan, either in ACSI or RI. i will go track him down and meet him again wheee:D and as for 书曼,she will be coming to RGS next year jan.. so i will be seeing her again too!! moohaha shall write two letters to both of themm.. haha damn happy:D
so we left their sch super unwillingly loh:( but we had to rush off to catch the 高铁。yea.. if not it will just leave without waiting, just like the plane concept. we got up the train and took an hour's ride back to TAIPEI main station.. we took the normal railway train to 台电大楼 stn。we went to this korean restaurant and had yummy dinner. i had miso soup wok..
yup after dinner, we walked back to our dorm and had 1 1/2 talk with our tcher.. so yup now im restin in my dorm.. later must go pick up our clothes in the washing machine le.. haha bye:D links for pics for day5 will be posted up soon:D
