Home from Beijing with red roses surprise

so, i'm back from Beijing!
these 4 days were the most amount of chinese/mandarin i've heard and spoken ever. lol.

The cold was unbearable initially, but we slowly got used to it. The nights were extremely cold.. and i think that's how i fell sick, still feeling rather tired now.. couldn't sleep much in the plane, then i'm doing this again in 2 weeks' time, to the US.

We didn't manage to get selected to work with CNEX, but overall, i think we still made it pretty far, to be one of the 8 student teams selected out of 23 to go to Beijing and participate in this very interesting session. Listening to the other directors' experiences.. and getting comments from the professors from film schs in taiwan and china about our project, those were really valuable.

Here are some photos..

So i was home today, talking to the boy online, and then i suddenly received a call, from someone telling me that they have some roses for me. i was like WHAT? and then the person said he was outside my door (my doorbell doesn't work). so i opened the door, and there was that guy, holding a vase of red roses. i was like, o.O. yea, they are from the boy. apparently he ordered them online and had them delivered to my house. i was in complete shock for a long while, really touched and speechless at the same time. i wish i can do something so sweet for him too, but i don't know how to. i guess i'm just waiting for the day i see him, and give him the biggest hug ever. 15 more days..

looking forward to this break/vacation in the US.

i love you too.
