2nd June
Today is the last day of school!!
The walk to school seems different and
We strolled to school while thinking back of all the things we have done in school.
We had to do a presentation in school
It was graded and it was quite scary as we had to speak in MANDARIN!!!
My first presentation in Mandarin!!
My group consists of Shi Ting, Siew Ling, PK and me

WHen we reached, we hurry finished the presentation
The topic we did is Beijing 101 Guide
It is quite fun as we find stuff that we have learnt here
BUT other people's presentation was also very good and It was scary
They have many research while my groups was based on our experiences

Anyway a disaster happened during lunch
I went to the salon for treatment while Siew Ling and Shi ting did their own stuff
Then Siew Ling came down to tell me PK had a car accident
Fortunately he is fine though his lenses spoilt!!
To a photographer, his lenses are very impt and I was sad for PK
Anyway, he had to go to the police station
In the end, he didn't come and the 3 of us presented our own parts.

After the presentation, we had a closing ceremony
We each received a cert proving that we study in Tsinghua
It wasn't much but I was really happy
It was like a graduating ceremony that day! heehee
After that, everyone started to take picture with each other
Kind of like there is no more tm
hahaha

We went down to the minimart in the end to get TSingHUa SHIRT!!
Since we are here, must get smthg to rem tsinghua by right?
heehee
I got a white shirt with Tsinghua logo and motto
I went to get my new specs after that
It looked nice on me too!!
Yee ting, SHi ting and I each got out specs and we looked kind of cooL!!
heehee

We had our last meal at Wu Dao Kou at the porridge place
Yummmy
It is very nice and we had a great time

After that we went hou hai to chill out!!
It was nice as we managed to explore the other side of hou hai
Not the Lotus Blue side
This side is more of a chill out place and there are many pubs
There are singers on guitars and it has a very relaxed atmosphere.
We sat there till about 2 plus
Our housemates excluding Eli (she went to her colleagues place) went to eat BBQ!!
We had BBQ chicken, etc
Hahaha
Nice food!! at 2 AM it is sinful food but NICE

3rd June

The whole afternoon was spend writing cards for people
We all wrote cards for each other and had an exchange
It was fUN!
I was quite sad though as there is this guy who wrote smthg bad to me
I was nice to him but i guess he didn't appreciate it
And I don;t understand why he want to write that to me
Oh well watever..

WE had pizza and beer and it was fun
SOme of them even played silent library and it was CRAZY!!!
They had a part where they got to pull Luo Ren ( our monitor)'s nose hair
and The catch is: Nobody can laugh or speak
So everyone is red and trying to contain their laughter

I want to take this chance to Thank all my housemates!!
Thank you for always being there for me!
