SUBMISSION AND CRTIQUE IS OVER! And happy people we are ohmygosh the past weekend has been a KILLER. All i did remember was the sleepless nights we had, doing computer stuff like autocad and viz, sleeping only for 1 hour a day... total madness please. And i don't care if i'm repeating myself but YESSA ITS OVERRRRRRRRRRR.

Critique wasn't as bad as we expected, though i could make some improvements with my detailing. Oh well. Anyway after our critiques( which ended around 5) all of us went off to grab some stuff to eat before heading off to the "dinner and dance", which in the end wasn't a dinner and dance at all. From the looks of it, it was some kind of... event for exchange students cause some ang mohs and koreans (and sp students!) performed by singing/dancing/wushu/acting, the works. There was this girl who totally exposed her ahem, silicons...think janet jackson and the justin t incident. an extremely embarrassing moment. But apart from that little disaster, i liked the koreans dancing! They were so adorable dancing away with some crazy looking panda hat.

Apart from the reports that we have to write for gems tomorrow, i guess this is sort of the end of our studying here in dalian. This feels kind of sad, you know? That i'll never go up to the classroom and climb up 4 levels and stuff again... *wipes face with a tissue* I'm starting to miss everything here! My buddy lu shuang, the cheap food, the nice aunties who take care of the hostel, the dogs...:( sighs. This place will sure hold lots of memories.

Rachel did something freaky yet funny last night! So while i was minding my own business watching home alone 2 in bed while rach slept on the next bed, then suddenly her hand pointed straight into the air into the shape of the seven sign...AND THEN SHE TURNED AROUND TO SMILE AT ME AND DID THAT ACT COOL THING USING THE SEVEN SIGN. AND SHE WAS STILL SLEEPING!!!! I got stunned for awhile... i mean cmon who DOES that man...then i laughed to myself before resuming back my movie. Haha i have sucha retarded roomie. But who am i to say man haha. Rachel has found out my deepest darkest secret... i talk while i sleep! So everyone knows now..i guess?

Anyway this day was 20% productive 80% unproductive(keep watching movies gah)Jonathan was cool enough to extend the deadlines till monday, it was supposed to be tmr haha oh well. 3 more days and i'm still miserably trying to draw a plan T_T

So after a few weeks or so here, i figured out that i should talk about my daily routine here, oui?

The day starts off with us waking up around 8 for our 9am lessons (though i get awaken by the sun which rises at 430am, is that insane or what). Some of us head outside school to buy breakfast, usually honey buns or sandwiches.

Then! We head back to school and jonathan proceeds to teach us all the nifty tricks and stuff bout viz and all that.

And its...tutorial time! Technically we're working like crazy on our project now. Sighs. Consulting with jonathan about our construction trusses:/

Lunchtime, sometimes we tabao back to our hostel or we go out in a big group and decide where to eat.

2pm. Back to tutorial until 6pm. Then its dinner, same thing as lunch, then we slack for abit in our hostels before going back to bed around 11pm.

I know, mundane right... And it happens every weekday.

The dogs here are sooo adorable! <3All of them seem to have really short legs with a long body though.. Guess i'll update the pictures when i'm back in spore or something.
So far, we named one of the dogs after weechai, xiao cai! who we thought was dying soon.. in the end he turned out to be a few months old. Oh, and his real name is xiao lao tou-.- Figures. Lol.

The puppies here are damn cheap too! Saw this lady selling puppies on the street so curiously i asked her how much were they... Ohmygoodness they were only 6 sing each?!! The prices are to the point of the ridiculous.. i mean cmon, puppies in spore are sold for at a min of a few hundred, and here puppies are just like a bag of potatoes or something. Sheesh. If only i could grab one home with me:/

Our friday's visit was a trip down to an advertising agency, showflat area and a graphic design agency. We weren't so chuffed about it cause project was all we had on our soggy minds. But oh well. The first place we went had a subway place next to it. I guess lots of people were missing home cause most of our people swarmed in and ordered a whole lot of cookies and sandwiches(?). And half the prices of spore's too, haha. The poor tour guide was asking us to hurry up, saw her checking her watch like every 5 minutes lol.

So eventually we went up to the place and all of us design students, lecturers and tour guides got squashed inside this ridiculously small room where the one of the advert people were showing their work through powerpoint. Apart from the fact that we had to stand up throughout the whole ppt (there weren't enough seats) it was pretty interesting cause they were showing us their works. I liked a few of them, too bad that i can't post up pictures here..

Then after exploring the place abit, it was up the bus we went and we drove to this totally gorgeous residential area, very westernized, damn cheap somemore (400,000? or 20000?) I wished i could live there...

After that it was lunch at some chinese restaurant.. for some reason most of the dishes were pork, mushrooms, more mushrooms and FISH.Roars.

The last place we headed to was finally the ascendas park place aka graphic design agency- the person showing us around was kinda cute:p heh French guy haha anyway to get to the point the agency looked real interesting too. They had like 3000 applicants for the company in dalian alone?! Like oh my goodness please and all they had altogether were like 10-15 people working there! Madness.

Its been a long long time since i've blogged.. what with the internet being down and all:/ Which sucks, technically. Newaes, its been pretty much a bummer around here, what with us chionging like hell for project and all once we realised, too late, that the dreaded submission is NEXT FRIDAY. Gah.

I forsee a future of instant noodles, and hours of staring at the computer and trying to figure the heck out the construction details. Le sighs.

ps: blogger sucks now, i can't post pictures for nuts.

Blogger's been a bitch, i can't post pictures! :((( So bear with me people, its going to be long and wordy post.

So! For our usual every friday trip out, our lecturers decided to be awesome and they brought us to dalian's version of disneyland- or discovery land, as they call it. Oh my goodness the rides were super fun can! 10 times more fun than genting's and thats something. Mostly their rides were 360 rides, the first one i got on was damn freaky cause when they turned upside down, my butt was lifted out of the air and i felt airborne! That was a horrible experience.For that moment i was thinking, "OMG my seatbelt's damn loose, i'm going to fall off i'm going to DIEEEE" But it turned out that that was supposed to happen anyway. Gah. Space shot was TERRIFYING, NEVER AGAIN WILL I RIDE ON IT I WAS ALMOST IN TEARS PLS OMG IT WAS SO HIGH I ALMOST WANTED TO PASS OUT. Apart from that, the roller coaster rides were fun though;D

Oh well i cant really blog much without any pictures to explain anything!! Daamn you blogger. i guess thats about it then.
