hey people!i'm back from yunnan,china.i miss you all and a little of trainings.haha.i know your dun believe but it is a fact. as a matter of fact, i did my part to buy presents for the entire track team, hope you like it. well, i dun mind recieving some "thank you"s.haha.
now to tell you a little more of my trip. as some of you may know, i wasnt looking forward to this trip cause i dint know alot of people.But then, once i reached kunming, everything changed for the better. the people are not as bad as i think but i must say the food there is horrible.argh.and i dint eat alot. i was hungry and kept complaning.(i know some of you sure say it is so typical of aunty.haha.good eh?) if i never remember wrongly, i ate fruits.haha
moving on to shangrila, the weather was freaking cold and i wore alot of clothings. my log comm memebers say i look like a fat penguin.so evil.but i ignore them.haha.the best and main part of the programme was to interact with the sizhong students. their eagerness to learn and readiness to embrace everything touched me that most. it is a moment that i will never experience or see it in singapore. they certainly impressed me alot.i was totally blown away.dutring their campfire night, two sizhong girls held my hand each and asked me whether i was cold or not. when i said yes, they immediately rubbed my hands to give me warmth. at that moment, i didnt feel anything. it was only when i returned to the hotel and share reflections with my friends did i realise that it was very heartwarming.i almost teared because i never ever recieved such care and concern from anyone. it was the first. some of you may think that "like that also can ar?" but then i must say, a simple gesture from them is sufficent for me. the next morning, it was time for us to bid adieu. there were alot of emotions running through me because..(i cant really explain). and in the end, i could not take it and just broke down crying, like a tap that runs forever. i also dint understand why i cried like that, but maybe it is just human nature. leaving them after interacting them with 6 hours was heart wrenching for me. they did not want us to leave but then, good things never last. here's a question for you guys to ponder:" why are real flowers pretty?". once you know the answer then i will tell you another thing.
moving on to the second part of the journey, it was shopping time at Lijiang, gu cheng. it is my favourite cause i like to buy things.haha.there the things are super cheap but you know, i still got bargain la.haha.i only follow wad everybody does ok?(so dun say i aunty)by doing so, i did save up quite alot of money.the funny thing is. i think i bought alot of things but in actual fact, it comes down to nothing. depressing.i regret not buying more things.(although some claim to be)and i hope that your will aprreciate.
i think i cant write anymore cause i doubt there is anymore space.haha.joking.but i want to tell your the interesting stories face to face. i think i can say it with more conviction and attitude.haha.joking.anyway, you all will be seeing me again.haha.excited right?ok, please contain it and leave it for tomorrow.until then, i am signing off.bye.take care and good night.smile always:)
