Call me SiMoN !!

Exams time is like judgement day for every student, but it's inevitable. I'm going to have my exams within 18 days from now and to be honest, I'm nervous, but helpless. All I can do is to cram everything given and taught by the lecturers. Unlike secondary school, I haven't had any exams prior to now, so the exam formats are still strange and unknown to me.

Christmas is coming soon, but it will be a lonely Christmas for us (Tiffiny and I). We have each other, but nothing is comparable to celebrating Christmas with our beloved families. Receiving presents is one thing, but the warmnest and feeling are different when you have to celebrate such a joyful and sacred event. In China, religious activities are seriously banned because in the concept of China Communist Party, such a small party can be a threat to their national status and religion is considered an obstacle for the nation to develop freely and completely. I don't really approve this "idea" because spiritual development is really helpful as it relieves spiritual pain and provides undefined strength for its believers.

It will be different Christmas in a non-religious country. There is always something missing when there is no religios elements in a religious event. But anyway, I'll try to cherish this special Christmas in a foreign place, other than my home sweet home.

Hai....these few days are a bit hectic and tiring. Back from the hypnotizing and boring classes, I am always tired and frustrated, especially when the class is conducted in English. Assignments are not so piling, but they are just boring. How I wish my assignments could be done with practical experiences, instead of typing documents.

Anyway, I've joined the Malaysia Culture Troupe in Guangzhou and its a culture dance group monitored by the Malaysia Tourism Department. The first month's practice was relaxing but from 15th to 30th of November, we will be having very intensive dancing practice, specially choreographed and monitored by a Sabah ethnic dance teacher. He actually flew from Malaysia to Guangzhou to teach us. It seemed like the MTC (Malaysia Tourism Department) invested a lot of effore for this practice because in the end of Novemeber, there will be a Tourism Expo in TianHe Stadium, Guangzhou. A very grand one.

Dancing is always a knot for me, especially for my stiff joints and muscles. But dancing is a good exercise for a lazy person like me. I just dislike running around the field or whatever. But there's another problem coming. I have to have my PE test in two weeks time and I barely had enough practice of it. I joined the badminton club of my PE class and so far, the badminton test is the easiest, among all the other tests. I also have to run 1000m within 4 minutes and 10 seconds!! What the heck!!! I seldom run and that will be like killing me. I'm doomed!!!! I HATE EXERCISING!!!!

God, please bless me with better lung capacity and stamina. I'll go to run once every two days. Please bless me....
