33th day in cheena land(5 April)
It wasn't a very good sunday, all i remembered was i stayed back at home doing work as APPG mini project datelines and Final theory test were all drawing near. I wondered to myself if striving for perfection a flaw in a human mind. Should i give my best? Most of the time, when i gve my best, seemingly the results just would'nt be worth it. It's like as if i pumped patrol for a 50 km ride but my tank ended up empty on 30th km. I mean, i did get a pass, but i studied for more than pass and normally i just wouldnt get my expected results. So why would i call it a flaw? I mean it's only right that we always strive for the best right? Well it makes that people at the top gets the harder fall. I was just in a dilemia, what happens if we tune our character to wor for the best but not expect the best at the same time, is it fairr to yourself??? wil this make life much easier to live?? or are we just cheating ourselves?? well anyway, i studied the whole day today struggling through making sure that i tred to get the full 10 percent i can get out o my mini project.

32th day in cheena land(4 april)
Oh man i love writing the dates on my post now! it's count down! I'm really going back to Singapore! Today, I were supposedly suppose to go to two SHOPPING centres but the end, the first destination where we thought was suppose to be a shopping centre was just a park. So much for travelling so far. However, today was a really hilarious day. I have a friend called Benson, trust me when i say he is a cute shit alright, he and wenhao wanted to get their hair cut. So they finally found a place which had it's called "CUT GOD" direct translation from chinese. So i think theywent there to get ther rhair cut. The hairstylist were all fascinated by how much be was balding. So they decided to give hims oem hair treatment, which he agreed to it. He took like 3 hours to get his hair. However, he didnt know what the treatment was! It was a perm! so they literally permed his hair! at the end of it, i though it was okay, just got to get used to his whole new drastic change. This change just left me traumatised man. We just couldnt stop making fun of his hair, he just didnt belive us when he said that hia hair was nice after awhile. anyhow, the rest of the trip was good.

31th day in cheena land(3 april 2009)
It's 1.11pm on a saturday afternoon, today, i was awakened at 11am by some of my great room mates to go GYM at 1pm than go shopping. Anyhow, we decided not to go gym instead. So here blogging about yesterday's events and thoughts. Yesterday, I stayed at home the whole day. I felt proud of myself for making my stand in staying at home and just relaxing and spending time doing work. My friends wanted to go to some shopping centre nearby. They left at about 1230, supposed time to get back was about 6pm. Which is already 6 hours interval, i was pondering waht i could do within 6 hours rather than walking around aimlessly, trying to find good deals in a shopping mall filled with shops. It's like catching a fish in a pool of sharks. Back in Singapore, i always thought that staying at home the whole day just resting and doing a few hours of work wasnt fruitful but i guess i was wrong this time.Even as i stayed at home, besidesall the scary encounters alone,just by watching tv and lying on my bed was greatly appreciatted. I guess because of the harsh studying conditions that we're in, little do count alot. Guess what, my friends came back at 9 instead. It's amazing how they could just walk around for 9 hours. However, there were some cons in staying at home alone too. It was scary, besides the raining weather and the thunders, it was all dark and i was all alone. Even as i went to the gym by myself, it was scary too. Nobody comes to the gym at that time because it was raining and it's too cold out there. I wonder is that a a life of an retired adult too? Like all you do is RETIRE. Thank God for lee kuan yew, i remember him being against retirement and how retirement doesnt come with age. I guess every human being needs certain level of stress. A life that is carefree and aimless is a life of silent suffering. I wouldnt want to be like that.

Back to where we started
30th day in cheena land(2 april)
goodness! It's 12 more days to the end of OIP. I just cant wait to get back home. I have been having dreams of me at the arrival hall walking through the glass doors and getting back home once again. Just by typing it down right now makes me home sick already. Am i going to miss this place? i guess not. However, there are much memories that i would keep here. I mean, afterall i've been through, i most just cant walk away from here totally taking back nothing with me. This trip will always be remembered... Okay, it's not the end yet! i shouldnt be bloggin about this. For goodness sake, i need to get some rest and get my project started again. Today, as i was gyming, i pushed myself to the limits. Today's gym exercise was a little special, somehow, i had a little special something that gave me that extra push to be able to do more workouts than i usually do. I guess it's the power of practice and perseverance.

29th day in cheena land(1 april)
IT'S APRIL'S FOOL DAY TODAY! Okay, actually, i was not aware of it till pranks start hitting me hard! i mean, first, my buddy in Singapore got pranked when we were talking through skype. Than it was my turn. I thought i was going to remember that it was april's fool day when my friend got pranked but i totally forgot about it. It's been nearly a month, and come to think of it, we're already left with 2 weeks before i would leave China for home. Looking back, it was really one hell of a ride. I makes me ponder about reality sometimes. Like being independent one day, without my parents around or maybe going overseas to study. It's pretty scary, just thinking about it. I dont know what life would bring, I just know than i'm going to make it through, just like everybody else. Anyway, counts the end of APPG lecture. Time flies man. =)
