What is this?
Well, I've stumbled upon a memory that I've chosen to forget but it appeared to me tonight. Basically, I once knew someone who felt that boyfriends needed to be perfect and that the moment someone shows out his or her weak side of crying, he or she will be vulnerable. No offence, but I think that is utter bullshit. If you're made vulnerable to the people around you just because a weakness is revealed, I think that many people will be under attack now. No one said that males cannot cry or be soft. Honestly speaking, I'd rather be with a guy/girl that is soft and is willing to show true emotions. I'd never want a person who keeps everything in and acts like a block of cold steel.
That aside, I miss China. I guess what I miss the most are the cheap food and friendly bosses of the stalls in China. I'd spend less than S$10 per day in China on food, yet I just spent over that amount on just ONE meal. And like what Nigel said, I really felt a warm feeling when the boss of this particular street-side food stall called us "peng you", which means friend in Mandarin. ): The people there are really nice. People tend to think that China is a horrible place to go to, but it's really a pretty decent place to go to. Apart from the language differences, everything in China is much better as compared to Singapore. The roads feel safer, the things are cheap, the people are friendly, and there are actually seasons in the climate.
Ahwells, I'll miss you, China. Anyway today is the first time that I've stepped in Suntec for service. I must say that the place is really a miracle, although I found the place quite crammed up. I guess it's due to the regulations on how much space the church can occupy for a gathering at any one time. But well, everything is different and I am still quite lost on the operations of Suntec. Ahwells. Shall get used to it soon enough. (: Till then. :D

We'll be safe and sound.
Okay, so I'm left with one day right now. I've started packing a few days back and sent a stack of clothes to the wash. So I started dumping all the food stuffs and shopping into my luggage and realised that I've ran out of space. I'm prolly left with enough space for three to four tops without any bottoms. Think I've gotta repack to fit everything in. ): On top of the clean and washed clothes, I've still got a new hand bag that I bought to stuff in. If I buy/shop anything later on, I'll be much more screwed because there really won't be any space left. :/ Ohwells. I'm thinking if I should check in two luggages instead. Will prolly fill the second one with useless clothes cause it's just a haversack with no lock. Ohwell. I'll try to work something out, I hope.
Anyway, I did not feel the rush and urge to get things or visit places until last weekend when I went to three gorges. I looked out of the cruise window in the pitch darkness of the night to realise that there were so many things that we all wanted to do, but couldn't get around to doing it. But whatever the case, the past 5 weeks were definitely memorable. It's always the nonsenses with Lipin, Ben and Nigel. From getting lost while taking the public bus, losing our way on the streets, going to the wrong places, joking around, to screaming about, it was worth the trip.
Leaving will not be difficult. We did not meet many foreigners or locals unless we somehow managed to socialise, and there isn't anything much that will be left behind. What I will miss would be the food, people, and cheap everything. The people are really nice. I remember eating dinner earlier on at this streetside hawker which we regularly frequent. I looked around the emptiness of the street on a blue Monday where business is slow and realised that it's something that can't be found in Singapore. I will really miss the bosses that we've known, and the cheap food/transportation. All good things will have to end. Ohwell.
Anyway, on a different note, I hope that I can get a window seat on the second flight. That'll be the night flight from Guangzhou to Singapore. It'll be my first night flight and I really really want to have a view of Singapore and the world in the night. I'm quite sure that it'll be pretty. I'll spam all my pictures later on for my last day in Wuhan. Well, it's goodbye to the cooling Wuhan and hello warm Singapore. :D

3 Days left.
So, that's all that I'm left with. After 3 days, I'm left with 4 days of holidays before school starts. :/ Well, today is a slow Sunday. Just came back from a budget-cruise thingy from three gorges. Well, the sights were pretty alright but the whole trip was pretty much a waste of time. Last weekend was a trip over to Mount Wudang which was so cold that trees, railings, people, and steps were coated with a layer of ice. It was really cold and torturous but everyone still survived somehow, apart from some cameras which could not handle the negative temperature.
This trip has been alright so far. But it's really annoying that school is starting within a week. I won't even have a holiday. ): Weekends will be packed and I'll only be left with 2 days to rest before school starts after I'm back. ): But ohwell. I'll get through this busy third year.
Thinking back, I've realised that it's still safer to keep things to yourself. Once again, I need to constantly remind myself to keep things back and just let things go. I shall attempt to. :/ Ohwell. I'm off for now.
