8 Feb 2007----Flying back from Beijing

What a morning it is! The morning started with us waking up at abt 7am. I mean the guys, we slack abt till 8.30am before going up to the girls' room to discuss today's plan. Anyway, the girls ask the guys to go to Dr zhao's office to collect something from him. So i called Dr zhao before going and he insisted that he wanted 1 person to go over only. But Zhen wei followed me as the girls went to xiang shan to buy thank cards for the rest of us. So we move off separately, when the guys reach Dr zhao's office, i ask Zhen wei to stay downstairs as i went into his office alone. To my surprise, Dr zhao handed a pair of new year deco and say it is for Dr derek yeo and wanted us to pass it to him on his behalf.I felt it is a very cheap thing and using a normal transparent plastic bag to store the new year deco,is not the way to give a present all though it is cheap, at least you packaged it! Anyway, showed Zhen wei the present also. He was also quite surprise that the 2 of us think that Dr zhao is a stingy person. Later along the way, me and Zhen wei were talking abt the present and laughing abt it. Actually more like complaining! Anyway, we then called the girls and went to meet them at xiangshan for breakfast. So we met the girls and later went to supermarket as some of them needed to buy something. After that, we went looking around for places to eat our breakfast, but found out that all our favourite places to eat are closed or food not ready. Anyway, we then decided to go back to behind our hostel to eat our breakfast, on our way, we prayed that it is open for business, our prayers worked, it seems like it just open for business and we are their first customers of the day. That is like already 10am. So we had our dinner with shao wen, kelly and Zhen wei eating their last bowl of chicken sliced noodles and me eating fried rice. Feng xian never eat as she didn't have appetite. It seems like the last time in Beijing we came out so early for breakfast , our favourite shops just didn't want to open for us and suddenly the streets are like so deserted with very little people. Anyway, it is just a sad ending huh! Anyway, we then went back to the hostel to write our thank you cards for our teachers and taking photos of the cards. We saw the time,it is like 11.15am and Zhen wei and i rush to our different labs to give the cards. But my professor offered me to eat lunch with her and one of my teachers in my department. So i couldn't reject her good will, and had my last lunch in Beijing with them. After this lunch, i rushed back to the hostel as we were supposed to be going off at abt 12.30pm. I run all the way back to the hostel to pack and move my lugguage to the vechicle provided by Dr zhao. In the end, we set off without Dr zhao as he said he got a meeting which he needed to attend. In the vehicle, i suddenly remember i forgot to take my toothbrush, towel, face towel. Anyway, let it go. Also cannot go back already what!
Ok, when we reach the airport , it is abt 1.30pm already, we were left alone with nobody to guide us. Eventually, we found the way through . We passed through 2 checkpoints before reaching the waiting area at abt 2.15pm. A lot of forms to be completed, first is health and lastly the form abt why and where you going back. Anyway, we rested at the waiting area till abt 2.55pm and ask whether we can board and the staff told us to wait till 3pm. But just when Zhen wei finished asking abt 1 min, they open the gate and everyone rushed to board the bus ,taking
us to the plane. We were like so pissed. Anyway, we boarded the bus and the bus took us to the plane and we were sitted at abt 3.20pm. So we waited for the plane to move, but till 3.30pm the plane didn't move and 3.30pm, a new batch of passengers just arrive and they started putting their things only so the flight was delayed till 3.45pm before the plane started moving. Again we got delayed and must queue for flying so we started flying only 4.10pm. So we flew back singapore, but on the flight i was so damn bored with nothing to do. We reach singapore at abt 10.20pm but pack until also 10.30pm before leaving the plane and checking out already 11pm. The girls also do some shopping for wines and beer. But kelly also bought perfumes. After they are done, we went out to collect our lugguage and went to meet our families waiting for us, it is already 11.30pm. Anyway,ms lee told us we need to go back school the next day for class photos, we were like sian lol.So i was quite happy when i was at the airport when i reach singapore because wee kiong, hui ping , Zhao ming and ah beng also came to see me. After we saw Dr yeo, we gave the present Dr zhao gave him. I think he didn't felt happy upon receving it. Anyway,Dr yeo didn't talk to us much, so the talk with ms lee, we were dismissed.After that, we set off home. I reach home abt 12midnight. Unpacked a bit, but my parents did a lot for me and i went to bathe at abt 12.20am until abt 1am. After that went to eat supper with my mother and brother outside, ate meepok fishball dry, so shiok lol, so long never eat already. So that's the last activity of the nite, after that, we slept....... That's almost a whole day outside,right? So tired huh!!! Anyway, it is over!!!
