Hello.

I'm so sorry for not blogging once I was back from India. Well you see, I was ill for like 3 days with fever and diarrhea. I guess my dance mates were sick too. So I've recovered, well almost and hence I'm here to blog.

We went to New Delhi and during the 10th international children festival, we met a lot of people from different countries. To name a few, we met people form Switzerland, Korea, Russia, Iran, Latvia, Romania, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Germany and many many more. Well, the hostel was kinda screwed up because there weren't enough beds so Ivana and I, Yilin and Chengqi had to share a bed each.

Umm, I can't remember much about the trip because I didn't write that day down. We went to Taj Mahar (?) and Jaipur for sightseeing and it was definitely stunning. Well, pictures are worth a thousand words and I will post the pictures tomorrow because they are on the other computer. When my dance group was about to leave the hostel and travel to Agra, another tourist bus appeared and claimed that we have booked them. So QiuGui, who was the planner I guess was shocked lah. This conflict occurred, Shufen, Yilin, Qiu Lao shi all went down to settle this matter with Diana, the lady from the other travel agency thingy. The problem was we had no idea who the hell Diana was and she accused us of contacting her first. Because our original traveling thingy person was also named Diana, it because suspicious. In a confused state, we wanted to leave but our bus driver refused because he apparently did not want to be involved in this ugly matter. Because we were sick and tired of her bobbling head and pointy fingers when she talked angrily, we wanted to just compensate her and leave for our sightseeing trip. However, when she opened her mouth, we were uber taken aback because she demanded around $600 ( I've converted back to SGD ) just for the bus. How dumb. We, of coursed refused and they went back down to quarrel with the involvement of police officers. Then suddenly, when Shufen asked for her name card, that Diana was stunned and she her nickname was Diana and was not from the company that Qiu Gui asked over the phone. FAIL. So we won the case! However, we had to travel a gruelling 5 hours ride to Agra which made me sick. T.T

On 22 december, we finally had a real shopping trip which sadly, lasted for only 2 hours.

When we arrived at India, the seniors were telling us not to give anything to beggars on the street. The reason was simple, it was either that other beggars will swarm around you or that the beggars will bash up that beggar that you gave something to. If you thought it would be easy to say no, then you're wrong because they aren't like Singaporean beggars. When Shufen and Ivana was riding in the tutu one day, a little girl came up to them when the lights were red. She clutched a few pencils in her hands and continuously said "Please Mam". Of course, both of them shook their heads but I guess it was hard to say no and they cried. They told us what happened afterwards and I thought that I could say no easily but I was wrong.

During our shopping trip, Chengqi, Shuyu and I were standing outside the shops waiting for the shopping queens to finish up their shopping. Then this really bonny woman came up to us, holding this really pretty child in her arms and begged us for money. I guess you readers cannot understand or feel the pain and guilt that I felt by trying to convey to you guys through words. You know, their eyes were so full of sorrow and I know you guys may think I'm stupid but I saw it. The way they look at you, it's just so so so painful. And there was that beautiful little toddler in her arms, she looked at me and I looked into her eyes and I was so overwhelmed by so many things, guilt, sympathy, pain and I don't know that I cried. Chengqi and Shuyu were more stable and quickly pulled me away telling me "You can help one but you can't help all" in chinese. It just really sad, I don't know.

Then we bumped into that mother and child again outside MacDonald, sitting on the edge of the step. The mother was definitely feeling very cold because she wore so little and she was so bonny. All she could do was to crouch on the cold floor to keep herself warm with the piece of cloth she had on her. She had no gloves, no shoes, she must be freezing. Because the mother was so cold, I guess she couldn't think about her child. The child was left lying on the dirty cold floor, because she couldn't speak, I guess she couldn't tell her mum how cold she was. In my mind, I kept repeating, hug the child, hug the child. When my group members were all present, she picked up her child and walked towards us to beg for money. Yilin cried, I guess everyone wanted to cry but they held their tears back.

There were many more beggars that we met and we brushed them aside. I can remember this poor boy, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pants. He was constantly jumping up and down to generate heat when I looked at myself and the members. We were all dressed with long-sleeved shirt, with a thick warm jacket or coat, a shawl around the neck and a pair of jeans. Do you know how horrible I felt, sighs.

I really feel like I've committed a sin by not helping those children. Now, one of my wish is that when I'm rich, I'll travel back to India and buy clothes for those just like the boy and help those who begged for money. Anyone wanna' join me, or I'm so being stupid?

India.


So goodbye people.

Helloo.


India in another 2 days, can't wait.

I'm going for dance soon, sighs. Otherwise I would be able to go to the Sundown festival @ FCP today. Why must I have dance practice todayyyyyyyy.

;♥

Hmm.


On bus 136 today, I saw this teenage guy whom I thought looked familiar. Then I saw this knife in his pocket and I realised that he was the same guy whom I walked past a few weeks or month ago. While walking past him, he slide the knife around his neck and said to me "Scared of knifes right, I kill you with it then you know"

What a small world, I think this is a sign that my life is in danger.
Sighs.

Hello.


Picture without Andy, woops!

Yesterday was the day which I had been anticipating for very very very very long and it was the 6a bbq! Although many people backed out at the last min ( with the exception of yuhming because she was ill ), it was still fun yah. Well, curse you people who backed out. Anyways, Andy, Maojie, Matthew, Stacie, Zhehao and I met at the train station and went to this whatever mall to play pool. Of course, I totally totally totally sucked at it. Umm, so we went back to Serangoon to buy other items and then back to Zhehao's house.

Senchi, Samuel and Wenda came later. The bbq was very fun although there was only like 9 people present. Oh well, there's always a next time. The food was pretty good, the guys cooked it and the food tasted way much better than my dance camp, haha! At around late at night, around 10 plus or so, we had to clear up the place but the problem was that we still had quite a lot of food left. Hence, we played games where the loser would eat something. Maojie invented this "Truth and Dare or Eat the Chicken Wings" game. The first loser was senchi and because he didn't want to eat the CW, Maojie dared him to jump into the pool and he did. The funny part is that he lost again in the next round and in the end, he ate the CW. So Maojie and Senchi ate the most food because they were super unlucky. I only lost once but I had to eat the stupid sambal sotong which was way too spicy for me. At around 12 plus 1, we all went home.

Zhehao is flying on the 13th to Korea for 7 days, Charmaine is flying on the 14th to India for 10 days and Stacie is flying on the 15th to Europe for 3 weeks.

I'm departing at 6.15 pm, anyone wanna come to send me off ?
Hahahahahaha. -.-

Reading my past entries in my Diary makes me think about the past again. Maybe I should tear those pages out so I won't remember you. Why was I so silly to write down every single thing you did that made me so happy which caused me to be so uneasy when I read it.

I really hate that girl, I hate everything about her.
