*~-={ HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 TO ALL! }=-~*

what a blessed year 2007 has been for me, unfortunately it has just zoomed by.
wonder what 2008 holds in store for me!
NEW school (in a sense), hci - hcjc.
NEW cell, bye C1! hi M1 i presume? Gerlaine said she'd drag me in there. heh. hope i join her there! =)
NEW friends! yay! (but the old friends are still treasured of coz!)

actually i was about to blog an emo post about missing my classmates/ centralmates etc.. BUT. BUTTTT. i wanna start off my new year 2008 on a happy note! so i shall blog about my fun Beijing-Harbin trip first! (also partlymostly becuz my sis is buggin me to do so)

our trip was a very long one this time, 22nd - 31st, making it 10 days exactly unless my brain has somehow failed me perhaps due to the extreme cold? anyway, i'd like to correct my sis's post. the temp there wasn't 15 degrees celsius, it was a goodbitter -15 degrees celsius! that's a huge 30 degree difference that small minus sign made.
okay so it's our first time in china, being surrounded by that much chinese alone made me super exciteddizzy! haha. plus, the way the locals talk is a totally different slang from our singaporean chinese, they always rao4 she2 and talk, makes me even more dizzy! makes it super difficult to converse with them. they talk like some bullet train in a language i already have difficulty understanding in our own slang -.- we're always like "HEY SLOW DOWN MAN!!!"
other than the language barrier which IMHO far supercedes the Gr8-Wall-O-Cheena,
other than some of the food, the dry and freezing weather, everything else was actually quite enjoyable! overall a breathtaking trip.

NOW PICS!

i want some too!
