Meeting up primary school friends..
It's been a long time since I meet up my primary school friends. I think we have about 4 years never see each other. Due to several reasons like: busy with school life; preparing examination; CCAs and other sorts of thing. I was phoned by one of my good buddy on Monday. He asked me whether want to meet up. Since we have not meet up for a very long time, I agreed to go. Yesterday night, my good buddy called me to confirm the time. I don't know that the call was a conference. Then a stranger voice suddenly appeared in the call. I don't even know who that was. The "stranger" was speaking mandarin, and he called my name. I then asked who he is. He said he is Edward (one of my good buddy then in pri school). I was so shocked. After so many years, I don't even recognise his voice. It been so many years since we met up, I wonder how much we had change over the years. So I am quite looking forward for the outing. I believe that this outing will definitely be totally different from our last outing (which is abt 4 years ago).
Ruijie--> looking forward.. .
After the outing
I am back home now. Just met my primary school buddy. All of them change a lot. One of them even dye his hair gold colour. First thing in the morning, Imet edward at Tampines MRT. So we took the train down to Dhoby Ghaut to meet the other two people. When I first met him after so many years, I think we felt like strangers towards each other. Both of us kept quiet until we enter the train. Both of us then tried to start a topic to talk about. So we talk about our O level, school life etc..so it went on smoothly, better than I expected. All of us met together then went to catch Casino Royale 007. The movie was quite nice, and the scene when James Bond was torture was quite funny too--> a bit to your right, Pls help me scratch my b***s. After the movie, had lunch. After lunch, we then talk about our primary school life, what happen to our teachers and primary schoolmates now and discuss about our future and ambitions. That about the met up. All of us then went different way home. Although the outing end quite early, but I find that it was an enjoyable day. It will definetly be fun to meet up with old pals. That about it for this post..
ruijie--> if I can turn back time....

将军令 -> 我们都是中国人?
As I am still waiting for the call from Zhiping. I had decided to use this free time to blog about this song also known as 将军令 . I find that the lyric of this song fully describe the teens now a days. The lyric go like that:
if you cannot view the lyric pls click view and change it to encoding unicode (UTF-8)
我知道对有什么不对
我知道将军说的话不一定对
我知道对或错我自己能分辨
请你安静点请你安静点 我知道对有什么不对
我知道外国的月亮没比较圆
我知道 yo yo yo
不是我的语言
请你安静点请你安静点
我是个小兵我绷紧了神经
在战场上拼命听谁在发号施令
将军在微醺他方向分不清
西方人念经他全都听
不同的肤色说不同的话语
相同的节奏有不同的旋律
自己的文化要自己来说明
自己的舞台有我们自己顶
将军追流行他全身都bling bling
学西方人念经忘了自己先生贵姓
他们满口 check out
想叫他 get out
我是个小兵却乐天知命
在你的世界学你说abcd
在我的土地对不起请说华语
So basically the meaning of the lyric is talking about a Chinese general is always influence by an angmong. The singer also mentions that he does not think that the "moon" in other countries is bigger and brighter than homeland. So we Chinese must have our own stand. We can learn to speak English in your world. But if you are in our homeland, very sorry please speak Chinese. If you all are interested in this song the title is 将军令. The singer is called Kenji Wu Ke Qun..
Ruijie-> 我们都是中国人 !

Job hunting
Woke up quite early this morning, went to check out the tea chapter website.
The website is not really updated but there's quite a lot of info inside. Then, had my breakfast and called Zhi Ping(the boss of tea chapter) up to make an appointment for interview. This is my first job interview, so was quite nervous. Mad an appointment about 1pm, so suay, it started raining then I rang him up again to change the time. Hope that he doesn't think that I'm lying to him. Change up and went for interview at tanjong pagar. Quite far from my house. Reached there quite early so went for early interview lor. Before I stepped in, found the teahouse quite elegant, quite high-class lah. Just go in and look for the person in charge. Haha, sort of imagine how he looked like before I went in for interview. However he looks beyond my imagination. He is f***ing tall man. Or rather in another words, I am short lah. Laugh out loud. I had a mini tour inside the tea house and learn to know that I'm going to undergo some training on brewing tea. My job scope includes :
- Washing the plates
- Serving the customers
- Teach the customer how to brew tea.
- Clean the area / shop
- Speaking Mandarin ^^
Heard that the shop was quite profitable and knew that the fee for learning how to brew tea is $100. But I get to learn for free. (: And also, I have to wear the old old traditional kind of clothing. Quite a new experience though. Anyway, I'm only doing this during weekends. Hope to get experiences through this job bah. Last but not least, thanks Qi Zhi and his Papa for recommending this job to me. Thank you. (:
Take care everybody. Link me also. (: Muahaha.
ruijie -> tea chapter, here I come.
