    It's been a few months now since I left the Motherland. Though it has been only a few months, my busy schedule in school made it feel as though it's been so-so long ago. Singapore is totally different from China. After being there for so long, when i am here, I began to miss it.

    It all started around last year November 08. Everyone's busy about exams and ITP placement, and I have decided on OITP @ Changchun, China. That being my first time, working overseas, being away from home for so long, taking my first flight and of course my first visit to China. I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

    All my bags packed and ready to go, I left Singapore for China at 0815hrs.
    Our trip Changchun is indeed a long one.
    Taking a 4hrs flight, CX710 transit to Hong Kong,
    a 3hrs flight, KA 992 to Beijing,
    and last but not least an 8hrs train ride to Changchun Railway.

    As it's my first plane ride, I anticipated the ears-popping sensation that i have been hearing about for years. Though it's not what I expected, what I experience was,.. " Fading hearing and everything is slowly becoming to quiet.. ", only thing I did was to close my nose and blow through it. Everything will then return to normal.

    Eating more than 2000ft above ground for the first time.
    Going toilet more than 2000ft above ground for the first time.
    Sleep more than 2000ft above ground for the first time.
    Well, seriously a bloody lot of first times.

    As soon as we got to Beijing Intl,
    I lost my baggage for the FIRST time.
    Super panic!
    Went to lost and found, they said my luggage has been delayed.
    please wait till 1830hrs to collect your luggage.

    Bought Nin jiom and Pocari Sweat @ Beijing Intl,
    and yup my FIRST purchase in China.

    Blah, blah, Blah...
    Several hours later, We're in the train, reaching Changchun soon.

    A sight that I had never seen before...
    White landscape.
    Ice particles develops on the INNER side of the train window.
    FREAKING cold temperature.
    More White landscape.

    truly miss it there....:(
