played bball for the first time in china!! brought my camera along but forgot to use it. how lame. shall tk photos next time.. bball is so popular in china and yet the usage of courts requires us to pay! how ridiculous.. thou it's nt expensive (5rmb for 1hr), still... they are discouraging ppl from exercising.. we shall source for free courts ard our area.. anw five of us went and we played for 3hrs! wanted to play for 1hr only den we were too engrossed until we loss track of time so exceeded into the 2nd hr.. den guess wat, we exceeded into the 3rd hr again.. lol. but it was fun! it was really a "first time" experience for me... first time playing in the cold. first time playing bball in pants. first time wearing jacket to play. first time not sweating profusely. first time paying to play. first time seeing only 1 girl playing besides us. first time 打队 with china ppl in china. first time playing with cold fingers.. woah it was nice! oh and we learnt a new term tt the china ppl use----"我的" means it's their fault.. so everytime they nv pass or shoot properly den they will say 我的.. got us confused at first.. we thought we fouled or sthing den the ball is theirs.. lol! looking forward to more bball sessions!

wanted to go and visit 毛主席纪念堂, but we din know tt it was under maintanence until we got there. so in the end we went to walk ard 大栅欄 instead. it's an old street nearby with alot of shops catering to tourists. being the non-typical tourists, we din go into alot of shops but we chanced upon this old cinema.. it is the first cinema tt existed in china! we got pretty excited and decided to watch a movie there. so we watched 苏乞儿 coz we tot a 武侠片 will be the most suitable for this old-aged cinema. we expected it to be v cui but it turned out to be a really huge theater! this is the first time i watched a movie with only 7 ppl in the theater including us! and it's oso the first time i took a photo in a movie theater! the screen was v v big but the visuals were abit below standard. still worth the money i wld say.. after tt we went 中山公园. nthing much but might as well since we gt nthing to do and it's in the area. den we went sizzler for dinner! shiok.. slack and ate alot.. thou we din get to see what we wanted to see in the first place, it still turned out to be an eventful and enjoyable day!

skiing trip!! at first i was still contemplating whether to go since i already skii before in korea. i was glad tt i decided to go bcoz it turned out to be so different! so we got up real early and started making our way to the skiing place which is somewhere at the outskirts of beijing. reached there at abt 9 plus (cant rem le)? den it was the horrible queues and alot of ppl! bcoz it's the last few days tt the skiing place is opened (since the weather is getting warmer), there is a 90% discount on the entrance fee! saved abt 100rmb per person! by the time we got our equipments and our coaches, it was already abt 11 plus. wasted so much time. long story short, we learnt how to skii down a slope and break. haha.. coz the coach was only with us for 2hrs.. i wanted to learn how to turn by applying ur bodyweight but he din teach tt. we wanna go back for more next yr!!
hmmm pretty long post huh.. nt really a summary. lol. i cant wait for may-june to come! alot of exciting trips coming up. we are planning to go inner mongolia and an amusement park near our place! yeah...
till the next time my internet is good then...
