Yeah! I got the internet FINALLY! This past week has been tiring and enlightening to me.

DAY 1 (2009-08-20)

We reached beijing chengdu international airport at 6 plus. Our 'adventure' starts off from here. We started off by taking public transport to do our verification for our health checkup. But we couldn't find the place at all. We ended up opening our bank account at some ulu place. And our first meal of the day was at 6 plus pm. So amazing rite? 1st day already so xiong. I really admire our courage to take the public transport to find the place also as it's our 1st day there.


DAY 2 (2009-08-21)

We learned from our lesson and took a cab down to the verification place. Then we had to source for our apartment.


DAY 3 (2009-08-22)

We looked at our apartment and signed the contract for it. Basically it's a 空房子. So we have to go ard to source for furniture and stuff. Tiring...


DAY 4-8 (2009-08-23 to 2009-08-27)

Tiring days with us cleaning up our house and walking ard looking for cheap furnitures and other necessities to decorate our room. 26th is also the day that we got our internet connection. So happy as i feel more connected to our friends and family back in s'pore.


DAY 9 (2009-08-30)

Shopping ard again for necessities.


After this week, i realised that i have grown up alot. In the past, i have taken alot of things for granted and my parents are always there to solve problems for me. No doubt i miss my parents, brother and my xiao bai in s'pore, as well as the culture, food and air (here alot of smokers) and perhaps the chance of getting a partner(during this golden period of age-early 20s) but i'm glad that i'm here in beijing. I believe that this trip will strengthen me. I hope i won't be the undecisive and timid xy when i go back s'pore.:)
