Pop Music Culture n Fashion in China

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

The pop music culture over here stil sounds very dull. While Malaysia american hiphop, raprock everywhere, here is stil listen to Jacky Cheung’s "Wen Bie". Oh my goodness…. Not that i wan to criticize la…"Wen Bie" n many chinese love songs very nice oso, juz dat their pop culture seems like stop at 80s or end of 90s like dat nia. Sometime can listen Jay Chou’s in the city area , but their music taste very weird, their pop music culture stil at a turning point, waiting to turn into a more modern pop culture. I’m writing this while listening Penny Tai’s new album’s songs. Penny Tai sounds ok to me. But i prefer english songs that sound smoother. That’s y i miss my favourite radio station hitz.fm….

While the fashion over here, most of them very ‘dai lok’ look lo. The way they wear clothes very flashy. I feel got something wrong v their fashion, but dunno what. Maybe is bcoz their clothes always got some flowers blosomming pattern on it, i feel uncomfortable when looking that pattern. But i can understand this country pass through a lot of hard times, all people live in a harsh environment for the pass centuries. Well hope this country wil become a country that good in everything.

The subjects i took

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I took 6 subjects this semester,  history of classical literature, western literature, hong lou meng, gongjushushiyongfa, wenxuepipingshi n introduction to philosophy. I’m interested in  philosophy n hong lou meng(red building dream). Next semester wil b more interesting coz got subjects about movies, i sure wil take that. Hong Lou Meng is a damn complicated book, i mean i can say most complicated novel in all time ever. Inside the book, yi ma gu je all come out, so the relationships are very complicated. But i stil like it coz its artistic n knowledgeble. Whereas philosophy can help me to find some clues about my life. So cool to learn philosophy coz it teach me so many ways n dimensions of thinking about my life.   

Two Campuses

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Nanjing University got two campuses. 1 is in the Gu Lou city, another 1 is in Pu Kou industry area. While this year i’ll stay in Pu Kou  coz i’ll take all the subjects in Pu Kou campus this year. The Pu Kou campus is located in a rural area. This rural area is oso near the industry area. It got a big lily pond at the corner of the main door. N it’s quite big lo, 1 n a half of TARC kl. Well its quite far to go from here to Gu Lou city campus, need almost 45 minutes. Luckily here got school bus(free). It’ll fetch us campus to campus. If not the outside bus drive very reckless. They drive like acting Hollywood action movies. Well everytime from Pu Kou to Gu Lou, we muz pass through the Nanjing Bridge, fly cross the Chang Jiang river, the second longest river in China. The campus in city one located in concrete jungle, the city got a lot of taxi, taxi not very expensive if divided by 4 people.  From place to place inside the city, almost 2-3 rmb per person. The campus in city as big as Pu Kou. But, the school scenery in Gu Lou city is better than Pu Kou campus. The city campus got some places to asmara coz got a lot of trees, "am bong bong", n cooling. The city campus got 104 years of history. So it’s quite awesome. City campus got some statues in front of building.  Overall not too good, not too bad.    

We plan to live in this rural area for 1 year,next year we’ll move to Gu Lou city n experience the city life in Nan Jing.

Social Life in China

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

People who recognize me should know that i’m kinda antisocial type of person. My social life in China is oso like dis, i din talk v my frenz over 10 sentences everyday. At school, we seldom mix v China people, coz we go to class as  malaysia gang. Then dunno how to take the initiative to mix v China students. We got take part in a society that held gathering for all malaysian students in China once a while. Erm…i think we stil mix not much frens. Our social circle is around our senior in hanchiang college, students in nanfangxueyuan like dat nia.

Everyday i speak so little coz i feel i’m so retarded. I feel i got no confidence when facing v strangers, i’m too dumb to interact v people. I feel other people so good, but i juz sux in everything, that’s y i keep quiet n  dun wan to say something that embarass me. Sometimes, i juz dunno how to face the world, how to survive in this world coz i’m not good in everything.  Somebody wan to attack me by speaking some bad words, i oso dunno how to fight them back. I juz dunno how to change my personality anymore. All i can do is to c everybody laugh happily, then i oso laugh, then i live in my own peaceful world, or peaceful dream. But i’m stil struggle when i face reality.

One sentence to conclude, i got no social life in reality world. I only got social life in my virtual world.    

House in China

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

P9110242                                                      

We 4 people rent a house in this small town call Yan Jiang Zhen. We rent this house for RMB 1000, 2 rooms.Its a flat actually. This place very dusty, coz near industry area. The road of this place juz like Cambodia, got some red soil on the tar road, lorry rolling here n there.  Everyday i ride bicycle wil accidentally eat a lot of dust. My ‘made in china’ bicycle really sux, seems like every part of it is going to drop off.

This small town i can consider as peace, more peaceful than Malaysia, no snatch thieves kill human n no rapists. After 10pm, all residents in my living area go to sleep liao, its very quiet. I can only hear some somebody play mahjong at nite.

My life over here is very simple: go school, do housework, read books, online. Eventhough here got many tv channels, we seldom watch TV coz the reception not very good, n tv not big enough.

We only watch a programme call Chao Ji Nue Sheng(super girl voice) once a

week, very chii gek. Its something like Malaysian Idol, but the difference is only girls can take part in this singing contest. They got ‘pk contest’, every 2 contestants compete each other like boxers compete on stage. All the contestants got strong n special personality. So it’s very nice to watch. Every week eliminate 1 contestant. This show is on every friday 8pm.

At nite i usually sleep at 12oclock. Me n roommate 2 person share a bed, like gao gay. But in winter time it should b very warm to sleep like this. We use a winter blanket to cover. Now is autumn, but the weather siao siao, cool or hot is unpredictable. The 1st winter in my lifetime wil coming soon, a poetic season wil pass me by. 

Food in China

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Everyday we wil ride bicycle to university. Opposite the university got a lot of road side stalls. Every morning we go there to eat breakfast, RMB 1 can buy 4 ba bao, RMB 0.50 can buy a medium bowl of soya bean. That means RM 0.75 can settle a breakfast here. While lunch we usually go n eat zhu cha(order dishes n rice), its very cheap when divide by 4 of us, average 1 person RMB 4-5 nia. Here dun hav economy rice, so we eat zhu cha. While dinner our home iron chef wil cook for us. He’s the only chef in our house. Beside dis, here got a lot of  strange food, my fren ate dogs meat dat day. He said it taste like rabbit meat. I dun wan to try coz its too weird. The road side stall very dirty, while u r eating somebody wil suddenly spit to the floor in front of u, n make the disgusting voice, "kaaaaaak pui". So, i choose not to look at the floor, not to look at the kitchen how they cook dishes, it wont reminds me about the dirtiness. Well today we wan to try pork burger of macdonald, unfortunately they din sell on lunch time, we can only get  pork burger on breakfast set.

I guess the most delicious food here is beef ramen here, very big bowl, special n delicious. N i wont forget the cheapest thing is something like siu mai, RMB 1 can buy 10 biji. I wonder stil got what special food havent try yet ….

Something Good

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

The things over China very cheap especially food n books. RMB 3 can settle a breakfast. The proffesor in my university quite profesional oso. I get used to this environment easily. The girl n boy over here stil oklo, i can c 30% of them are handsome n pretty nia. Can’t compare with TARC malaysia at all, coz the students in here really go to university to study, they got the student look, but for TARC student, many of them juz like modeling, they’re pretty, sexy n hot. I’m not disappointed at all coz i’m not desperate on watching pretty gals. Here got less distraction, so i read books all the time. N i find that i got less desire at here, i din think bout horny things, i din think about watching tv, online is optional for me, not a must, so i think i’ll b a good student over this place.

Talk Something Bad

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Yo. In China now. I can say so many bad things about this country. The air polution very serious, u can see haze coz by air pollution in Nanjing city everyday. N my living place like a small cowboy town, i ride bicycle to school, 10-15 minutes can reach school. The people here a bit strange, some of them like to spit on the roadside. Some of them dun close the door when they baking cake in the toilet. Toilet is their worst thing. Very smelly. Many people not follow the traffic rules, n keep honing others. Some of them quite rude also, they act very straight forward, when angry they’ll juz show their emotion to everybody or scold other people. Now is the begining of autumn, almost 15-20celsius. The weather is blowing in the wind, i start to c through the haze around this Industrialize Area.
