Hello weekend

Time flies. Saturday comes again.

I called my dad yesterday. He lives in our hometown, Nanjing. Mom works in Shanghai five days a week. Actually, we often chat via QQ (a software similar with MSN) but I seldom call them. So we felt excited to hear each other. It was really a happy time talking with my dad because I can tell him anything about my life here. Thus, I don’t feel alone or helpless. I know there is always someone caring about me. Dad told me they would go to visit my grandparents and other relatives the next day (just today). As you know, Chinese New Year is around the corner. A large number of people move among the whole mainland China. So rail stations and trains are congested. I hope they have arrive safely now.

This afternoon I went shopping with my old friend. She is a SM2 student and we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Fortunately, we still have a lot in common and couldn’t stop chatting about the interesting things in our daily life.

My friend was one of the top students in our high school. Anyway, she told me that she had thought subjects are easy except English when she first came to Singapore. However, one year passed, she got good marks in English but did not so good in Math. As a result, she warned herself to work harder in science courses and not to ignore English as well. According to her story, I know no matter how easy things appear, just try to do my best.

We spent more than four hours walking and talking in IKEA. Happiness often makes people forget time and tiredness. In a new environment, friends are quite important. Living Singapore becomes more and more joyous.

Tomorrow we may go to NUS libraries to borrow some books and see a show. I love reading. However, I don’t know whether I will love reading English books. Anyway, I’m looking forward lah!! ^^
