11th oct Saturday: everyday, the temp fluctuates btn 20 to about 10 degree Celsius plus and minus. Walking in the streets last night was so cold that my finger tips hurt from the chill.
I think waking up every day is a grueling experience. Not to mention the fact that it is only human to wana laze slightly longer, sleep-in whatsoever but you must understand that the moment you uncover the blanket it feels really chilly and you would just want to cover back again. Woke up in the late afternoon as I only slept at around 5 the previous night. Well, there wasn’t anything much except going to starbucks to study again.
12th oct, Sunday: fine, 22-10degrees Celsius.
Though I only slept at about 4am plus last night, I woke for church at about 8am. Actually the alarm was ringing from 730 till 8 am and I was in denial from 730 until I finally got out of bed at about 810? Church this morning and we were to take the bus there for a change as the other classmates/friends/believers/sisters in Christ(don’t know what to call them but am definitely glade to know that there are other fellow Christians in the class) said it was much faster that way.
I think it’s our (Serene and I) 3rd time to church and every time, we would meet Marietta to go together and every time we are late. Opps! The bus was crowded but the most amazing thing was that we were all on the same bus, the 3 of us together with the other few classmates who went to the same church. Some of us actually board the bus at different bus stops! Not to mention that the bus comes at a rather high frequency. Amazing right?! We only saw each other on the bus or when we alighted from the bus. It was really pleasant.
Then after church(which was along the road called Liang Ma Qiao) Hu Gang said he was in the area so I went to look for him and he said that he was at the mrt station which was 1 station away from the station nearest to the church(which wasn’t very near to begin with, about 5-10min walk). So I got to the train station, took a train only to be instructed upon arrival to the destination station to walk towards Liang Ma Qiao’s direction after exiting the station. So I asked for directions and walked a couple of mins before seeing he and his friend sitting by the roadside and we walked to take a bus back. The most irritating part of the whole thing was that the bus stop where we took the bus was actually opp the Liang Ma Qiang mrt station! Damn!
The ride home was interesting as the bus we took was a double decker bus and I haven’t been on one yet since I came to Beijing. I have only been on the normal bus or the super long bus type. The double decker had an old feel to it and the upper deck’s ceiling was really low. In Singapore, I can comfortably walk on the double deck but this ceiling was so low, bending my neck only made me face the ground directly and i had to really slouch a lot to walk more comfortably. He bus really felt ancient and riding the bus was pretty fun, like to look out the window and take photos of buildings etc.
After we got back, we went our separate ways and I was off to lunch. Wah, after lunch I was super sleepy that my eyes hurt a lot just by keeping them open! So I rushed home to continue sleeping for 2 hours or so and am now in starbucks…..eyes starting to hurt again…sigh…still so much to cover for the coming exam…..sigh
