OCTOBER 3 - OCTOBER 9: Shanghai Week-off
New sights, experiences and, err, realizations(??). Oh! A tired feet, as well. The excitement is worth the excitement. I had a blast in there; especially knowing that RMB 1,500 can take you to many places and shopping spree. Hahaha! Anyways, I'll be posting pictures and some travel notes on my Multiply site, soon (i hope).

OCTOBER 13: Basic Mandarin for Professionals Graduation
Congratulations to myself! For surviving the 10-day Basic Mandarin classes. I enrolled to the Intermediate Mandarin. The nose bleed is worth it. I have used my very limited Mandarin on our trip to Shanghai; mostly for haggling. Hahaha!

OCTOBER 15: Emo Day
Thanks to Hwang Jin-yi, I cried. Oh yes! You've read it right. I really cried! Yay! I'm human and my tear ducts aren't clogged up! Woot! Spoilers for those who are watching it, but a sharing for those otherwise. I was really affected and moved with the story of Jin-yi and Eun-ho, her first love. Their love was pure, yet it is not enough to withstand the harshness of reality. They cannot be together because they're from different social classes. How sad, eh?! To make the long story short, Eun-ho (the guy) died. This left a very deep scar to Jin-yi's heart - just like a cracked jade. I hate tragic endings; most especially when the reason is due to human cruelty.

Reflecting on this, I feel that there is a much deeper reason for my emo-ness. Oh well, there's no good reason on dwelling to this anxiety. I have other stuff on my plate right now.
