11.11.11 - 光棍节

Just the day before 11.11.11, i get to know the meaning of 光棍节 which falls on 11 November every year. It's a special celebration for singles and the focus is on girls. According to one of the friend who study in the local university of China, they have this custom that girls will paste their phone numbers and write their wishes on a tree and guys who are interested will usually get numbers from there. On this day, guys gotta treat girls meals too, which is not done by the guys who went out with us!

Instead of celebrating it, we looked more like going out with a specific purpose--shop for freshes party stuff. Later, we split into two group. Joanna bring Zhen Wen to choose her dress whereas I bring the guys to choose their matching stuff for their plain white shirt (enjoy this...love converting them into korean trend). They ended up buying blazers. I have great satisfaction for being so helpful to them by applying out the skill of bargain price I learned from Jaznie ah nian! haha XD

After shopping, we gathered at one western restaurant to have our dinner. I brought another 3 guys travel all the long distance to buy the peral milk tea from CoCo. The funniest part was that Solomon thought CoCo as chocolate and ordered it but who knows, it's plain milk tea. The dishes in that restaurant doesn't really taste normal and mine was too spicy that I have to cry while eating. No second time for me.

Enjoying dinner

Back to things happened in this week, the highlight will be Anatomy class where we have to dissect the internal organs of the cadavers. We broke all the rib bones according to the medialscapular line and turn over the upper layer of the rib cage. Then, cut off all the blood vessels and bronchus attached to the lungs and removed it out. The texture of the lungs are quite smooth but black. Obviously, he was a bad smoker. The lungs of the cadaver from my friend's group appeared like a cheese with super strong bad smell and our lecturer told us that, that is a cheese-like cancer. That really makes you feel like vomiting. 

Pre-Freshes Phobia 

One more news, which is a good news and a bad news for me at the same time. After the first round of Mr Freshes and Mrs Freshes selection (self introduction + one spontaneous question to answer in front of the 105 classmates and more than 10 seniors) which does not judge but appearances but speaking, I am being selected to proceed into the final round with 4 other girls and 5 boys. So, that was the happy part which followed tightly by the scary part. The next round will require us to have my impromptu answering session on stage. This is killing Envira because Envira has stage fright. I was trembling there even for the simple introduction in the class, what more to say in front of 105 students from my batch + 100 from batch 2010 + approximately 100+ seniors and 3 higher officer! Gosh! I might feel like there's a sudden energy drained out and fall to the ground with my jelly legs. I planned to withdraw myself but they said make chinese proud and all my friends insisted me to stay. I was like what the...so I'll be sacrificed to become the entertainment of the night? Well, English is not my primary language and it's hard for me to respond in a faster way. Besides, there will be people who originate from US, British, Australia, Canada, Latin and etc who are well versed in English, and pressuring me at the same time. NOOOOOOooooo~  I have not yet overcome stage fright.T.T

God, give me COURAGEOUS
