Hey there! Topic for today is ‘My Favorite Vacation Place’. My favorite vacation so far would be the one in 2016 when we went with a tour to ShangHai, China where i met an unexpected occurance(?).

I don’t really remember when we went to ShangHai but it was in December. We went to Singapore first then flew to HangZhou. When we reached, it was already night time. We rode the bus prepared for us and went to the hotel. While the tour guide is checking in for the hotel, we went to check out stores beside the hotel.

It was really really cold especially when the wind passes by. UGH.

The next day went to visit a place where a chinese legend of a tragic love story of a pair of lovers, Liang ShanBo and Zhu YingTai, took place. Legend says that Zhu YingTai is a wealthy man’s daughter who wanted to attend classes so she had to dress like a man. In that school, she met Liang ShanBo and they both fell in love. Liang ShanBo ,who didn’t know Zhu YingTai was actually a woman, felt weird on why he is attracted to a man. One day, Zhu YingTai received a letter from her father to return home as soon as possible. Zhu YingTai has no choice but to go home. Liang ShanBo then accompanies his “sworn brother” to see her off. On the way, Zhu YingTai hints Liang ShanBo that she is actually a woman but he fails to catch her hints. Zhu YingTai then thought of an idea and told Liang ShanBo that she will become a matchmaker for him and her “sister”-she didn’t have a sister. Before they part, she reminds him to visit her residence so he can propose to marry her sister. Months later, he went to her residence to propose to marry her sister which he then found out that Zhu YingTai was actually a woman. They are so in love with each other that they make a vow “till death do us apart” but their happiness didn’t last long. Zhu YingTai’s parents have already arranged her marriage with a wealthy merchant. Liang ShanBo who is heartbroken after hearing the news and his health gradually deteriorates until he becomes critically ill. He then passed away in his office as a county magistrate. One the day of Zhu YingTai’s marriage, they passed by Liang ShanBo’s grave. Zhu YingTai then went to pay respects. She descends in bitter despair and begs for the grave to open up. Suddenly, the grave opens with a clap of thunder. Without further hesitation, Zhu YingTai threw herself into the grave to join Liang ShanBo. Days after their death, it is said that a pair of butterflies were seen to emerge from their grave and flew away together, never to be separated again. 🦋

Next, we went to a residence. This residence is not an ordinary residence. It was owned by an honorable General, 陈阁老宅. I have the same surname as him omg 🤓.

We also visited an market place. People still live there but some of the buildings are preserved for historical purposes.

Next, we visited a pagoda which is said to contribute to the women’s power boom in China. There was legend of it too but i won’t be explaining it here since i am not familiar with it too. You can just search it on the internet “Legend of the White Snake”.

Next, we visited a place with a very big statue of Buddha. I then also witnessed a show where they bath(?) the Buddha statue.

Finally, we went to ShangHai. oops! the places above weren’t in ShangHai 🌚 We visited the Oriental Pearl Tower. It is known for its upper observation platform with a 1.5 inch glass floor at a height of 350m above the ground.

(there’s also a disney shop beside it as you can see 😉)

China’s scenery was the best i’ve seen so far, it is such a developed country yet there are still many traditional places for conservation ❤️

We then went back. This is where i start talking about the unexpected occurance. When i reached home, i was like “HOME SWEET HOME” then i received a notification from instagram saying “oohsehun just posted a photo” so, like the fangirl i am of course i had to open instagam and check.

This is what i got :) the hotel’s wifi was very very slow so i didn’t get to check anything :) if i’m not wrong, i went to Oriental Pearl Tower one day after he posted the picture which highly means that he went there the day he posted the picture. I don’t know what to feel about this. It’s like I’m kind of happy i went to a place he once were and like inhaled the same air as him. Not all fans got to do that 😏. But also sad that I didn’t get the chance to meet him since he’s that near :)

Anyways, it’s his birthday today! I would like to wish him Happy Birthday, Sehun! 생일축하, 세훈아~🎂🎉✨

Anyways,

I came here to write about my school’s 15th year celebration which is held on the 9th and 10th of March. On the 9th of March, the celebration started with a field demo. Students from different levels performed dance presentation planned by their teachers months ago *teachers did work hard*. If you would ask whose performance do i like the most, i would choose SMA level’s performance. They performed a flash mob dance accompanied by the soundtrack of the movie “The Greatest Showman” - This Is Me. They practiced every after lunch time for this performance. People from outside the school’s dance club also joined. The performance was so nice to see. But that was not all, teachers from the SMA level —even though they have really packed schedules, especially the expat teachers, also joined in the last part of the performance which made the performance even WOWer! *is WOWer even a word?* A round of applause for them! 👏🏻👏🏻 *teachers really work so hardㅠ-ㅠ * On the 10th of March, nothing really special tho ^-^ just lucky draw.

I think that’s all for my entry today. Please do check out my studygram if you haven’t yet!

BIOLOGY TIME

Hey there!

I’m back with somewhat like a bio exploratory review. Remember the bio exploratory i wrote about in my entry last time? It was not like what i expected it to be like.. IT WAS BETTER. If I compare it to the one last year, this year’s bio exploratory is like 10x better. Maybe it’s because the venue is bigger because last year’s one was held in a classroom. If it’s held in a small room, it will be crowded, noisy and people there will feel warm *UGH*.

In conclusion, this year’s bio exploratory is

Hey guys!

Wanna see how cells divide?

oo

..HAHAH

Picture taken above are my notes about eubacteria. Did you know that there is this theory which states that all living things may have derived from the same ancestor which is a cyanobacteria (which is a phylum of eubacteria)? I find this theory interesting HAHAH. If living things we see now evolved from cyanobacteria, does that mean that if there is a cyanobacteria living in outer space there might be a chance that that cyanobacteria may have evolved into an alien?

…oops HAHAH 

Speaking of biology, my school is having its 2nd Bio Exploratory on 13th February! *yey* I’m looking forward to this year’s fair since last year’s was sooooooo cool. I don’t remember much but what’s most interesting is that we get to learn how wine was made :o !

Hehehe. That’s all,  I guess. See you again in my next entry! 

Welcome to my blog!

Since it’s my first entry, let’s start with self introduction, shall we?

My name is Tan Zi Swan. I am a half Indonesian half Malaysian. I created this blog as an english assignment but I’m thinking of continuing it even after submitting to the teacher.

(Hi, Teacher Crisel 👋🏻)

What will you find here?

I am planning on making this into a study blog (the ones where you take pictures of your notes and posting it online). I have been very interested in study blogs which is why i started searching for ideas in printerest to decorate my notes as well. The idea of starting a study blog has been stuck in my mind for quite some time and when my english teacher mentioned about starting a blog, i was like “this is it!”

So yeah, this is how I will start my study blog. Till we meet again in my next entry~
