I climbed 10 Bukit Timah Hills
Spent Friday to Sunday up in the mountains~ Wudang Shan to be exact. The bus journey was hell sia wtf. I stayed up to do work but I didn't do any work lol I skyped LRY! New York seems cool bro have fun living the NY life. I hope you don't get mugged wtf.
Anyway I slept through (or concussed during) the 6-7 hour long bus journey to the base of the mountain where we had lunch. Then came the most horrible 1 hour bus journey I've ever taken in my entire life. Firstly there was this China douche ugh who squeezed his way up the bus and we nearly had to split up to take different buses wtf man and he said something the lines of "How did the teachers teach the students?" HELLO BITCH WE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING?! AND YOU FUCKING SPAT ON THE BUS YOU UNCOUTH THING!!!
PUI!!! Spit on your cb face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO ANGRY!!! KNN!!!!!!!
I didn't know then but I just realised I stared at him for half the bus journey -_- Became super nauseous cuz the bus was like winding and shit and I had to stare at some cb fucker's face goodness knows why wtf UGH reached the hotel and the place smelled terrible I hate the wood smell!!!!!!!!! The entire experience was so bad Livia, Weilin, Yanhong and I skipped dinner to sleep. Yeah.
Oh right we visited some temple before heading back to the hotel to sleep. Honestly ah I don't know why they organised such a cultural/spiritual trip for FMS students...... 1) majority don't speak Chinese 2) I think more than half are Christians/Muslims, 3) we're learning about Film and Media Studies not The History and Culture of China.
Having said that I love studying cultures/looking at ancient ruins lol but it's just hard to enjoy it when there are people who are just so mopey and think everything sucks and I can't stop thinking about my lost wallet. Yeah. Plus EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME WTF I went to Beijing and I swear the temples look exactly the same. -_______-
Aaaaand having said that it was fun!!! I had good company. :D

| Pretty view in front of our hotel. |
The second day was a killer. We fucking climbed to the peak of Wudang Shan which is the equivalent of 10 Bukit Timah Hills in 4 hours. We didn't climb the entire mountain, just the top part. But it's bad enough. I am so sick of climbing stairs. It got so bad to the point after the ordeal all I could see when I close my eyes were endless flights of stairs.
Livia, Weiling, Yanhong and I climbed together and we kept pushing on because 1) we didn't want to give up, 2) it was too far ahead to turn back, 3) we were fucking competitive and didn't want to let anyone overtake us LOL. Yeah the view wasn't really worth it............ plus it was crowded with pushy people pui. We kept asking ourselves why we are doing this LOL but oh well we made it.
IT FELT SO FUCKING GOOD TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!!
Anw guys it's damn amazing how they managed to build so many temples on the many peaks of Wudang Moutain wtf. Respect.
Took the cable car down (70yuan) cuz our legs were jelly. E-I-G-H-T minutes to head down. EIGHT. 4 hours to climb up. T_T

| Lovely toilets. The stench was like nothing I've ever smelt before. |
 |
| CABLE CAR RIDEEE WOOOOOO |
There was a bell behind this giant coin with a hole in the middle so you have you throw the coin through that hole to hit the bell. GUESS WHO DID IT IN A SINGLE SHOT WOOHOO!!!
I AM THE WINNER!!!
Thanks to Yanhong and Dom who changed for coins and then gave me one to throw hehe. I still damn shiok thinking about it sia.
Another one was this giant vat filled with water with a dragon statue at the bottom. The purpose is to drop the coin in the vat and hope it lands on the dragon head. It's damn hard la we watched a couple squander their coins away. The other one was a drum with a bowl at the bottom; the coins should hit the drum and fall into the bowl. Saw another couple throwing handful of coins at the drums. Zomg. One handful probably 5yuan.
China is so commercialised........sigh.
Drank some special tea it felt ~magical~ After drinking the tea any other plain water you drink will taste sweet. LIKA MAGIC ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bought one container lol 50yuan~ MONEY WELL SPENT!!!
FINALLY IT WAS TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE DORM FOR STREEEEEET FOOOOD!!!! The bus journey was more pleasant this time round but I was also more awake so it felt very long and torturous. We woke up at 7am and only reached the dorm around 7pm. In between we only had breakfast, sight-seeing, lunch and the rest of the time was spent travelling. ~_~
Yup. Our night was rather interesting. I think the Wudang Shan trip bonded us cuz it was the first time all of us had dinner together at the night market. Then Livia went to meet CL and Yanhong went to meet her parents and Weilin and I headed back to our dorms alone BOOHOOHOOO.
It feels good to finally be able to tweet Jia and call/skype her hehe. The internet was so bad at one point I nearly threw my mac on the floor wtf really not funny. 3 days deprived of Jia already leh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I've already spent 40 days without Jia T_________T
On the bright side, 2 days more til I return to Singapore~! To Jia~! :D
LDR kills, guys, I'm so glad I'm returning to Singapore in 2 days. Nobody should ever have to go through ldr. :( I'm sorry I put you through this baby. It was a stupid and retarded thing to do. Stupid stupid stupid. The only good thing about it is that I claimed her as mine first ^_^ And she didn't run off with anyone else. YAY!!!!!!!!!! Shuang dao.
We're going shopping at Guang Gu again! I need to get some last minute shopping done with whatever money I have left. :( I hate how careless I am la serious really want to bludgeon my head with a huge rock. :(
AH 2 DAYS. No more cheap and awesome China street food, no more cheap and awesome shopping, no more running around the dorm corridors, no more bubble tea/waffles, no more carefree lifestyle. I will miss the experience we've had.
I can't wait to go back home.
