sharing rooms isnt all that bad, but it has its own cons. i am pretty much a person who needs my own personal time/space. i'm not saying anything, but i guess, all of us do have our own little likes and donts right? so yeah. tonight i settled down with chen qi zhen's playlist and found peace inside of me. she brings such comfort to me.. shes so unbelievable.

after adjusting to life after a week, things are pretty much going well here. only focus here is to study, shop, eat. that is basically what we do everyday. it is quite a different feeling from when i was in singapore. when i had to sometimes care for so many things you forget who you are. but here, you arent able to control anything thats happening back in sg, so you are kinda forced to be left alone. and sometimes, it is good medicine for the soul.

slow-paced. thats how life is here right now. but i guess things will change when projects start to bomb in.

all these aside, i really hate how china is so mac unfriendly! down to internet banking to everything else. i have to depend on my friends' windows, and i hate being reliant on windows! but that just kinda shows how china is slowly being more developed i guess.

walking down the streets that day, observing the manner and the way of life these wuhan people have, it kinda brought me thinking. civilization, culture, technology, the people, government, etc. all these change little by little over the months, years, decades, centuries. we are lucky to be in singapore, where we have been growing so rapidly and so in tune with globalisation. but being here, really allow your eyes to see, the process that china is going through, to establish their own world. the people are still learning, the transportation is still under construction, and there are still lots of changes this country have to go through to 'get there'. the people i've met, they were all so curious about singapore. how is it like there, the economy etc.

being in a country with 5000 years history, and becoming where they are today. it is a great deal of process. learning in classes those very events that happened on the same ground that i am standing on, sometimes makes it feel so surreal. but i guess, thats the whole beauty of it all. china is one unique country.

PS big congrats to xiaoting and peter! was so excited when he facebook messaged me about it. you are finally getting married. i still cant get myself around it! anticipating a great wedding, and lots of changes for you as you embark on the next phase of your life :) knew you for about 6 years, and the time has finally come! you are way too fast for me to catch on! but congrats anyway! :)
