-30 December 2006-
We're leaving for Singapore today!
Home home home~..!
--
We were allowed to sleep later today since there isn't any school,
and our flight is at 3.30 pm.
Well,
or so I thought.
It was around 9 - 10 am we heard Mr Chua yelling in the corridors that it was snowing.
I thought that it was some stupid joke played on us to wake us up.
Since it was said that it'd never snow in Beijing til February.
Hafizah though, jumped out of her bed and jumped on mine.
She tore open the curtains and screamed,
"IT'S SNOWING !! IT'S REALLY SNOWING!! "
I woke up instantly.
Oh My God.
It really was snowing!
The view from outside my window.
Hafizah and I kept singing Christmas songs while staring at the snow.
I took a small walk alone around the neighbourhood..
and it was really lovely to have snow falling like that.
I hurried back to the hostel later because it was almost time for us to gather and board the bus that will be sending us to the airport.
The planes in the snow.
Check-In.
Our many many luggages.
--
Due to the snow/heavy fog,
our flight was delayed for 3 hours.
So we only managed to board the plane at 6.30pm.
It was getting dark by the time we settled on the plane.
--
Singapore at last!
Look at what time we reached Singapore!
It was New Year's Eve already!
Home Sweet Home.
--
Overall,
The Beijing Trip was a blast of an experience.
It was really great to be able to really live like a local,
rather than going to Beijing like a tourist.
To study in a local school and learn the same things as them.
Understanding China's culture and thinking.
I've learnt to be much more independent myself,
I'm glad to have come on this trip.
I really enjoyed myself,
and I'm sure everyone else too.
An eye-opener for sure,
it was really something else.
I'd really recommend the trip to anyone else who'd appreciate it.
Here thanking everyone who made so much effort for this trip to be such a smooth and possible one.
A Big THANK YOU from me..!!
