Good news and Bad news. And Facts.







































































































































































































































































































































































































































Good news first.
- Alive and Well!
- China was awesome.
- I finished another book!
- I have pictures! Here they are!
Bad news.
- Amazingly busy. Loaded with homework. Teachers love torture!
- China's toilets were appalling. Food was fattening.
- The author passed away last year due to cancer and she wrote AMAZING books.- Today was a school day so it felt like one too. It's a Saturday! Argh!



I have loads of entries that i wrote in my diary in China. I didn't have the time to post them and I didn't feel up to it. Here are some of the facts I wrote down. Oh yeah, the picture where the shoes are covered in things that look like shower caps are actually some plastic protection thingy for the floor. So we had to wear those to keep that certain extremely posh floor clean. I bet they were cheap shower caps. haha


Facts.

Missing numbers...


4)1 out of 5 in the population of China is Muslim. China has more that 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion people, so get thinking. Imagine that! China has the most Muslim population in the world.


5) China at that time when I went was Extremly COLD! I repeat, COLD! The Sun was also shining brightly, so it was extremely cold at night and in the morning and in the afternoon, imagine us taking off our jackets.

6)In 1979, couples who got married cannot make love. Why? because, that's how babies are made. So if you wanted the baby, you needed some kind of a permit. And that permit is only valid for one child. So let's say a couple got twins... One child will suffer in life, you need that permit for school, jobs and for a birth certificate.


7)Crystals can be made into sunglasses. I have one of it as proof too! haha.


8) The toilet that I just went to, had doors that were not only shorter than me... It couldn't lock. You could actually peek at the person next door. I was the only person in the toilet, so don't worry. The toilets here also do not provide tissues or hot water, so cold water was the only option. Oh yeah, Some toilets don't even have doors, sometimes no curtains either, and some just have holes.

9) I walked more than 300 steps in a CAVE on the 7th of Jan, 2007. Was also in come cable chair car thingy. Very windy, very cold, very dry, and very shaky. Let me remind you of something, I'M SCARED of HEIGHTS! See the real cable car with two people inside? That thing can sway and rock from side to side better than me! Even the chair thingy wasn't as rocky.

10)One of the places I went to, called Da Li, has loads of love stories.

11) Chinese in China are smart, hardworking but are dirty, unhygienic, disgusting, cruel, and inconsiderate. I may sound like I'm exaggerating, but it's true!


12) 80% of women regularly cry...

See the two basins, those are live living creatures, whatever they are, it's disgusting. People here seem to enjoy it a lot though. Anyway, these are all my opinions, do not be offended or anything. I'm just voicing out how I feel, I don't want to end up in a home for sick people! All Right! That should be all for now, enjoy the pictures!

The Time

I just realized that the time is wrong. For example, It says I posted something at 6:30 in the morning when it's actually maybe three in the afternoon. I tried fixing it and failed miserably. so this is going to be the last time, I hope i get it right now.

More Pictures!












































































































































































Don't you just love pics? I DO!!! All taken in China! Okay.. Am tired... Will post more pictures when i feel like it!

Life and the new year 2007

Life is good and sad. haha. You're most probably wondering why? Well, it's sad because, next year, I'll study, study, and study. I'll also be going to tuition. And I'll be doing Bio, Chem and Physics. Pray for me to study, study and study, with discipline and with that hard working spirit. How did I make my decision so fast? I was talking to my brother Paul and his wife, Britt-Marie and I asked them for advice. They're genius! haha

So Britt-Marie said that I should take the class which I like. I told her neither and she said take the one in which I can do better. So one side of my brain was thinking Arts! and Then in the other side of my brain went Science!

Paul's advice was simple, study. He said that it would be better for me. And it's only two years of study, well, after that, I'll have college and University... I'll let that worry for itself first... Other than Paul, my mother says that Science is better too. Oh yeah, I'm going to tuition. Officially. Well, there's a first time for everything.

Good part of life is, I have my family, friends and God who will support me and help me as I learn that studying could become a normal daily life thingy. Besides, if anything i'll fall back into Arts!

Also, I spent new year's eve at KLCC watching the fireworks! Amazing, Great and very bright and loud. But the good thing is I enjoyed myself. Thanks Uncle Kevin for bringing us. I slept this morning at about 8:30. haha and woke up around 1 something. I really had fun and I am a crazy person, deprived from her sleep and I'm going out of my mind and I'll be going to china in about 5 days maybe? hahaha. When deprived of sleep, the compelling evidence is there. You can't think straight.... with black eye rings

2007 is going to be a great study, happy, study, life year! hahahhaha!

ARGH!

ARGH! Right now, that's all I can say. I am extremely confused! I don't know which should I take? Science or Arts? My results will take me to Science but can I do it? ARGH! I am just so frustrated right now. And school starts in a day! ARGH! I want to go to Science... I'm just not sure if I can live through it? and I want to go to Arts, because, I most probably can live through it!
If I go to Science
-I need tuition and I hate tuition
-I will have to do Physics, Biology, and Chemistry... All of which, I dislike... I mean I prefer to stay away from it.
-I will have to study, study, and study!
If I go to Arts
-I don't think I'll go for tuition
-I don't have to study, study, and study
-No Biology, Physics, or Chemistry! hahhahah

Although, study and study and study is going to be good for me! (*Big sigh) Am depressed.
