This photo was taken at this park where a tomb of this certain emperor resides. There are ponds and rivers that are frozen with a layer of ice as thick as 30cm. However, this area wasn't frozen because there was a flow of water and the park cleaner was fishing out debris. I like the reflection.

I had a nightmare yesterday night. It jerk me awake and my heart was in palpitations. A nightmare so horrid, I pray that it will never happen in reality.

It started in a classroom, similar to that of CCHMS. I sort of have the midset that I am in University already. And it's the first day of my Uni life. I saw a few of my ex-classmates, believe it or not, I saw Hejun, the old one I remember in p.sch and also Joycelyn, from MJC. Weird huh. As I was saying, it was around 8am, as the sun was quite bright. Then a slim female teacher came in, quite pretty, acknowledged the class and the lesson starts. IT IS A CHINESE PERIOD!!! And we were given 听写 immediately! And I can't spell a SHIT! All of my 成语 only got half the words needed! Then I was picked to read out a sentence from the textbook, and I stammered! I sounded like a freaking ANG MOH! It was pure turmoil! And so I woke up. The end.

It was such a horrible experience, I had the idea that I will be studying Chinese again in Uni for the 5 minutes after I awoke. And I kept on consoling myself that lucky I have NS, 2 years for me to pick up that rotting language. Even till now, the thought of doing Chinese work again raises my heartrate.

Indeed, when I went to China, I hardly can make out a full sentence in my mother tongue. And then there were those daily accesories that we only know the english names and so can't really translate properly into Chinese, only to leave me and the salesperson having difficulty in conversing. I even resorted to hand signals when I asked for a spoon. How pathetic is that?! Ok lah, that one also not my fault, cuase they don't call it 汤匙, but 勺子. Never heard of the latter right! It's 'shao2 zi4' . Haha.
