Whoo... i finally have internet access... ^^ itz like finally after: plane from singapore to xiamen, (0855 to 1300) plane from xiamen to tianjin, (1245 to 1630) train from tianjin to harbin. (0034 to 1445)
the train ride fron tianjin to harbin is a killer...
when i was on the plane i thought nothing could be worst den getting stuck on the sit for 8hours BUT.. i was wrong... the 14hours train ride was pure boring... since we reached tianjin at 4.30pm, and our train is at 12.34am the next day, our "tour guide" decided to bring us around tianjin's shopping area. We deposited our luggage at the rain station and went of shopping... all i can say is that the security there is very poor. Though security officers could been seen everywhere, poeple just see them as transparent. and i feel tt itz kindda weird that itz the security members themselves that are the bully around. they will call random ppl for their identification card (IC) for NO PARTICULAR REASON!!!
Anyway.. we shop till 10+pm and started to walk back to the train station. the train station is packed with ppl resting and lying around. even though the train station was indoor and air condition, you can easily spot ppl smoking, spitting and littering. we waited till 11 plus before going to collect our luggage from the lockers and proceeded to the entrance. queue started to formed in all direction when time gets closer and closer to the entry time... our queues was useless as once the gate open, everyone started to rush in and get onto the train as it is only gonna stop for mere 8 mins.
luckily for us, the train started to move only after our last person got on the train. we squeeze our luggage into the rooms and tried to get some rest. Train officers come over for inspection very frequently causing many of us to not able to sleep "peacefully". whenever given the chance, we will get off the train to buy stuff to stuff our mouth during the journey.. During noon time, we got so bored we started to play all sort of game and we ended "gambling". not with money but with food. so eventually, i won 2cup noodles, 1 dessert, 1 hot drink, 1 sussage, 1 xiao long pau, 1 jiao zi and lost 1 cup noodle and 1 bubble tea.
Not long after, we reach harbin, the ice city... it isnt as icey as we expected and the crowd there are rough... they will just pull u aside and confuse u with the words tht are coming out of their mouth like a machine gun. an TA-DA... i am where i am now.. in my room typing this blog... itz suchh a long time since i type such long post.. but i will still continue to keep all of u updated... i am currently trying to upload the video on facebook but photos are already available on my photo album in facebook... ^^ Good night everyone... ^^ YAWN....
Wahaha... i am exactly 12hours away from flying off to harbin... ^^ Still wondering how can i survive there for 7weeks.. hmm... for those who dont know, i am going over there for my Industrial Training Programme (ITP) in other words internship.. gosh... 5 days per week 8hours a day... with such "high pay" (640RMB for 7wks) During these time when i am away i promise to keep all my beloved friends updated with daily post and lots and lots of photos xD Cant w8 to see snowflakes falling from the sky... ^^

Is Your Jar Full?
When things in your life seem almost to much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar......and the beer.
A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the Professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The Professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "Yes."
The Professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the Professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first", he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
When he had finished, there was a profound silence. Then one of the students raised her hand and with a puzzled expression, inquired what the beer represented.
The Professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."
