It's just me.

I'm feeling very chinese now and I'm so tempted to blog in Chinese.

Although I'm from China, my chinese totally CMI. I don't know how to say many things in chinese. You might not want to compare my chinese to the china scholars in my level. You will realised how sucky it is XD hahaha.

There was one period last last year I think, I went all Chinese, I blogged in Chinese, my MSN was chinese, my phone was in chinese. Hahaha. =D

Frankly, it feels good(: It feels like I'm back in China again and I'm still a true Chinese no matter what. It's like, hey you're in Singapore for 8 years, your chinese is getting sucky, you can't express yourself in Chinese as good as you can in English but LOOK, don't forget your roots. Hahah.

Well China is quite far behind in some things compared to other countries in the world, chinese kind of lack ethical values and stuff. But truly, I still prefer to be in China. If I had a choice, if not for Education, I would have stayed in China.

For those planning to go overseas to study (other than universities), well I guess you should really reconsider. It's...not very fun. The difference, the culture, the language (if it applies). But I agree that it gives you a lot of exposure, it allows you to gain experience which many won't go through, it forces you to face the reality, it allows you to grow up and be mature.

Local students in our school say that China Scholars who came in Year 3 are all very competitive and they are not fun to be with. I guess it's because of the difference in culture, the common topics in coversations, and stuff. And hey, they are here to study, aren't they? If they aren't competitive and strive to be good in academics, what else are they here for? This applies to me as well actually to be frank, I won't say that I'm not competitive.

I feel that I'm in neither groups actually, I'm somewhere in between. I'm too Singapore for the Chinese and I'm too Chinese too for the Singaporean. Too chinese as in, well I'm fine in all ways just certain things which we don't always come across. Do I make sense? Okay nevermind. >.<

Okay I shall stop talking about this.

So anyway, I went for the Leadership Workshop in Pei Hwa today. Not as a student but as a facilitator. Well, now I realised how hard it is to handle primary school kids. I mean, yes they are good, but don't get the same thing as you. Example, small things to you may mean a lot to them, they see it as unfair. Yeah.

The bus trip to Pei Hwa this morning was crazy. First, i went over to the Tampines Bus Interchange to meet Royston at 6.15am and I realised that there's actually 23 at the bus stop right in front of my house. Royston was late so I took 23 to TP to meet him. I didn't know there were 2 bus stops in front of TP so i alighted at the wrong one, ended up waiting for another bus. So finally we met and we took to Sim Lim square and changed to 170. Royston was blur and we alighted at the wrong bus stop. >.< We had to wait for another bus.

Haha. It's just epic. Lol.

Then both of us were super super sleepy on the way back. You should really listen to the kind of tone we were talking with. I slept at 4pm later on when i reached home and I woke up at 9.30. I didn't do any work today again and I'm going to sleep soon. Rawr.

I need my weekend to make up all that sleep time I missed during Weekdays man.
