3rd day and x'mas eve
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND NO PICTURES
there's something wrong with blogger for some unknown reason!! and i do admit, i'm seriously feeling very lazy, partly being really tired from all the christmas shopping.
anyway, christmas is here!! present presents presents. but we all should not forget the true meaning of christmas yea?? it's JESUS'S BIRTHDAY!! although i've heard that jesus was actually really borned on October.
oh well, continuation from the China trip, i cannot believe i'm only on the 3rd day, it's starting to feel like a chore man.

URGHH!!!!! I HATE BLOGGER MAN!!!!
i can't seem to upload ANYTHING!!! i've been sitting here for the past 1/2 hour just waiting for 4 PATHETIC PICTURES to load!!!
a very pissd girl i am.
breathe chanel, breathe.........
its Christmas, and you should not let anyone or ANYTHING get you down.
not even having a stupid curfew for coming home TOO LATE can get me down.

URGHH!!!! damn the curfew man!!!!
ok, happy thoughts.......
went to my aunt's house for Christmas party and definitely to collect gifts!! so far, my fav is the anklet my bro got me (wearing it right now), jessica's 'GORGEOUS' necklace, because i am and my dad's 'SEXY' eu de toilete ( which is perfume for those who do not know)
some of you may ask, what did mr horny get me, well........... HE HAS'NT GIVEN IT TO ME....!
SOBZ~~~~~~~~
went to his Christmas party too with annabelle and cassandra(anna's aunt) and played a couple of games like icebreaker games, human monopoly and circle of death (yes, THE drinking game)
took a couple of shots after the game and while mr horny was not around and it was an overall fun night, trying not to fall asleep watching bunnies dancing on the dancefloor on television.
made mr horny drive me home at 630 am and still he has not gave me my prezzie, saying that there was too many people around to pass it to me.
woke up to the reprimanding of my dad and since i was half asleep, i did not catch everything he said, only a few key points like:
-come home so late
-you've tested my patience
-if you insist on coming back can the drivers say no???
-i'll fetch you back by myself
-no more of this i tell you or i'll confiscate your keys
-latest by 230am!!!
these few key points are enough to make my blood run cold. for the first time in my whole entire 18 years of my life, i've got a FRIGGIN' CURFEW!!
think i'm gonna wallow in bed, sorrow and self denial for the rest of the afternoon.
love,
chanel
ps: please don't be so selfish and think only about yorself.
pss: anna just called me out for shoppin!! no more wallowing.
pss: since its x'mas, i've decided to change the song to 'WE ARE THE REASON' as i heard it in church, listen already can cry man. the true meaning of x'mas
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
*We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reasonThat He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live*
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I sayI'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
He is my reason to live
pss:for some unknown reason, the paragraphs are all sticking together, very disgusting. help anyone??

bei jing day 2
BEI JING DAY 2sorry peeps, was feeling EXTREMELY lazy to blog recently and that me currently addicted to britney's new video 'piece of me' is not helping.
oh, and that i'm booked for the whole week for christmas shopping and dance practice.
ok, back to the trip.....
from the whole trip, i can vouch that the 2nd was the MOST tiring of all. we were walking for almost the whole day and we have not even been to the Great Wall yet.
WARNING: extremely lot of photos.
at tianan men, a central square in bei jing
at the oh-so-familiar scene of china. the picture of Mao
the tour guide says that if every person were to step on one square, the whole place can stand 6 million people!
the reason why the door o the forbidden city has 9 bolts its coz the emperor represents 9 and that anyone were touch all 9, they will get a son, and 8 for a daughter.
800 year old tiles...
the drainage system of the palace.
my dad has a hidden agenda to flood the palace.
the place where the scholars will take the imperial examinations
cixi emperess's bed
the cold palace where unwanted concubines are sent
who says the the air conditioner was inventd by the British??
using the 'imperial' telephone
the temple of heaven. the chinese believed that the heaven is round while the earth is square. thus the temple of heaven is circular
i don't know what made me pose like that
CUT!! NG NG NG
TAKE II--- PEEEERFECT
the chinese did not know how does God looks like, thus there's no statues in the temple, just an alter
at the stand where the emperor will stand and offer worship to the heavens
memory lane???
cam-whoring while waiting for the acrobat show to start
unusual likeing to disfigure myself,....
i figured that male acrobats are actualy quite sexay~~~
holy crap!! the ballerina is like dancing ballet on the guy's shoulders!!
en point somemore! *clap clap clap* she has my respect man!!
ciao~~
love,
chanel

back from bei jing!!
I'M BACK PEOPLE!!got miss me, got miss me, GOT MISS ME????
just came back from Bei jing this morning and although i'm feeling kinda tired, i still blog ok??
oh well, actually, the truth is, i'm waiting for friendster to finish uploading my photos, so to kill time, here i am.
the trip was a blast! loving every minute of it. well, not EVERY minute, but technically speaking. you get what i mean.
love the weather(sometimes), the entertainment they have, the tourists attraction and i really had fun reading of the signs with bad english on it. this trip has really changed my perspective on China and i can say that my chinese really improved but no way am i staying there long term.
but one thing i do not like is the people there. their customer service sucked and the people there do not know how to drive! there was this one driver who was driving a frigging Volvo and almost knocked my grandfather down!! extremely pissed, i did something that i will not normally do. i kicked the car and pointed the midde finger at that F***ING driver.
i'm not always that crude, but desperate situations calls for desperate measures.
another thing i did not like was the coldness there. i DID get kinda used to the weather, but still?? and from my perspective the cold weather has actually freezed my aunt's and dad's brains. here's what happen:
scene I- i was in the convenience store with my dad and he was looking at beer.
me: pa, the beer here cheaper than coke lei
dad: ya la, that's why i'm thinking of buying a few cans back to the hotel, you want any??
me: O_o
scene II- on a REALLY freezing day with winds that can blow one's knockers off
me: wah, its freezing la!!
aunt: well, we must all learn to embrace nature's natural air con. think about how powerful God is that he can change the weather.
me: -_-'''
scene III- on the plane at night
aunt: hey look (wakes me up from my slumber)! are those stars below us
me: (looks out of the window) no la, those are some randm city's lights
aunt: not stars meh?? then that one not sun ar?? (points at a light on the wing of the airplane)
me: no la, that's from the aeroplane the lei
aunt: is it?? i must be dreaming.
see what i mean??? the weather a freezed their brains!!
oh yea! and i found a new pastime...... and thats... SKII-ING!! i'm a natural i tell you.
no peeektures yet though, NOT THT I'M LAZY, but i'm waiting for my aunt to combine her photos taken with mine, so we have a complete collection ya know. but i WILL update on every single day yea? most probably on the next entry.
loves,
chanel
