Blow by Blow- 17 march

Finally caught up with all the overdue blogging at last.
But at the expense of my own health.
I’m starting to shiver more often. No, I’m not going to drink, because it will kill me. I already had heartburn after a sip to Choya. I cannot imagine if it’s even more than the 1 sip.
APPG AGAIN! Today. I need to bring the german book to class soon, so I can read it during the break, whenever I decide to sit in class instead of walking around.
It’s still cold, even if the sun makes everything look 2 hours later.
I didn’t feel too good today. I thought I could leave my bag in class and come back to the school after the break for evening classes. I walked back to the hotel and took a nap.
When I woke up, my roommate was already inside and her bag was already on her bed. I remembered mine in class and instantly got up. She pointed to my bag lying on the side of the frame. Then I remembered that my bag doesn’t come with a built in wheels and GPS and doesn’t move on its own, it then dawned upon me that she had to carry my very heavy bag all the way back to the room (I presume everybody else went back to take theirs, except me, cause I was sleeping) or maybe somebody did.
She then went out for dinner with the rest of them and came back with a bottle of coke, which one of the guys had bought for me, saying it did wonders with whatever I was down with. ( I still don’t know)
To thank them all I shall treat them to lunch tomorrow. I’m just hoping that they won’t order for the expensive stuff and make me bankrupt.
Oh well, I hope I feel better tomorrow. And even though we may not be close now, but we’re growing closer and taking care of one another. That’s something you can’t get in a short period of time
 This is another hard post. Nothing happened again. DISTRACTION TIME! 
Street Alley outside the school area. Wrong street to take,there isn't anything interesting. Save for the guy who's walking down the middle of the road. That's something you still can't do in Singapore, given the availability of cars and lack of free space. DANG, I can't even walk like this downstairs at my own block.  

Outside the school again, this time near the small supermarket. Can see the tv broadcast tower (天塔)from here. Going up the tower costs ?? RMB, but I didn't go cause it'll be wasting my money, given that the camera I used was a amateur camera.  
Directly across the school this time. This is the area where the technical workshops are group together. I never went in though, just stood around the area.
In the school this time, all these are rent notices put up around the school. Either the school accommodation is too expensive/too run down or there are many students who don't live within school premises. Why didn't I call any of the numbers?-.-
 Outside the school bus stop this time. Notice the yellow tiles on the pavement? Those are for the visually impaired to help them gage the distance between the fence and the road, and the tiles are lined in the middle of it to give them a marker that they would be careful when walking on the pavement. Singapore does not have the luxury of tiled walkways on every street, and sometimes the downtown area paths are not so generous. Even some of the streets in Tianjin are not so nice, maybe it's just this estate only.
