Ooh.

Day Forty One: Is this goodbye?!,

Monday, April 13, 2009

Chaos in the morning as everybody had to throw all the remaining rubbish and bring out all the luggage.

As for me, the chaos started as soon as i stepped into the toilet.

I was bathing when i saw a shadow behind me.

And look what i saw.....

THIS!!

I swear it was a chameleon!!!!!

And of course i started screaming and rushed out of the toilet.

Nobody wanted to chase it out!!

Since we were running late,

I had to endure that thing staring at me.

It then crawled to the room and ja saw it.

The screaming frenzy begin...

Soon it was finally time to leave.

Goodbye room 121.

We then weigh the luggage.
28.5 kg.
Pheww..

Bye Wuhan University of Science and Technology.
Thanks for being such a good host :)

We had to wait quite a while in the airport since the plane was delayed!

I hate delayed planes!!

Where is my flight??!!!!!

We arrived at Guangzhou and had to run to the next plane cuz we were late.

There was supposed to be a 3 hour interval but since the previous flight was delayed, everything was messed up!

RUN RUN RUN.

and finally we were on our flight back to Singapore.

Oh it was really noisy in the plane.

Everyone was so excited to go back.

At last..

SINGAPORE!!!!!

CLEAN WATER!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh i spot my family!!

Since it was already late and they had to work/school the next day,

I went back first instead of hanging around the airport.

Said quick goodbyes...

Oh well,

We would definately meet in school.

Day Fourty: Walking down memory lane, it feels like just yesterday.!,

Saturday, April 11, 2009

Woke up bright and early as i wanted to get my dad's sandals.
Its already the second last day and i havent bought anything for him.
Panic! Panic!
Went to Bu Xing Jie, this time round with ja, peijie and Joey.

Since its getting a little bit warmer, its the right time to eat ice-cream!
Took 502 and believe it or not,
Even the China student, Joey havent been there yet!
So i feel like im showing her around instead!

We did our last minute shopping, spending all the money we had left.

Since it rained, the roads was muddy.

It was such a turnoff since me and ja was wearing slippers and we had mud splattering on our jeans.

Urghh GROSS!

It was time for lunch and our tummy was grumbling,
Therefore we had to eat at the fake KFC for the last time.
Everyone definately have to try this fastfood outlet.
They food are really DELISH!
The outlet near the school is even better than the others eventhough its the same shop.

Next is our time to say goodbyes to all the shop owners that we had befriend during the past few weeks.
First up was the apparel shop.
We went there almost every week and did some hardcore bargaining.
Get a few more dresses and shirts, said our goodbyes and off to the next one.
Second shop was 'Barbie Shoes'...
We always wanted to get shoes from there but NO SIZE!!!
The shop owner is still very friendly even though we could not buy anything.
Then we headed off to the accessory shop near the dorm.
The shop owners always blast nice songs everytime we step into the shop and there's always some freebies for us.

See the photos on the shelves?

We took that picture with them a few weeks back.

It was nice of them to display our pictures.

So next batch of OIP students,

Look out for our pictures aite and tell us if its still there!

They gave me, ja and peijie a set of figurines.

See no evil, Hear no evil and Speak no evil.

So i took the 'hear no evil one' since it suit me the best.

Its definately a shop to visit!

Then it was time for our very last meal in Wuhan since we were leaving in the morning the next day.

I feel kind of sad to leave the place.

Its where me and Ja ate almost everyday.

Last bowl of JI DAN LA MIAN!

Its a must try!

The one in pink is the chef!

Thanks for cooking us delicious food!

I'll definately miss the taste of Wuhan.

While the rest when for hair treatment,

Me and Clive went to play pool.

As we were walking at the backstreet, i realised that i never walk that alley before!!!

There were so many shops selling very nice clothes!

I bet its cheaper than malls too!!

Too bad i already spent everything.

So the moral of the story is: EXPLORE THE STREET! YOU WONT KNOW WHAT YOU'll FIND.

There's even one more muslim stall there!

What a waste!

After walking round the area we finally found an empty pool place.

HOWEVER....

The condition was terrible.

Played for an hour as it was getting late and we have to be back by 11pm.
Plus I havent packed yet!

PACKING MAYHEM!!

There was so many stuff to squeeze in one luggage.

Luckily we have a baggage allowance of 30kg!

I had to help Clive pack his stuff too cuz he have too many things.

WOahh.

Luckily we managed to close his luggage!

I cant believe its the last night in Wuhan.....

Day Thirty Nine: Goodbyes.!,

Went to Bu Xing Jie - Grand Ocean yet again.
Cause somebody wanted to get his blazer.
I got more shirts which i intend to give to friends but..
I decided to just keep it for myself!
There's so many nice t-shirts which i cant find easily in Singapore.
Plus its much much much much cheaper.
If only i didnt waste money on useless things...
Rushed back to the dorm as we had a farewell party.

It also happens to be one of the student's birthday.

So good.

A huge 3 tier cake!!!

Plus another 2 cake they bought.

There's just too much cake!

From left: Yummy Chocolate cake, Fruit cake, The usual china cake.

And of course everyone attacked the Chocolate cake.

There's lotsa good food such as the heavenly cream puffs.

Entertainment like karaoke.

And a few tears.

The China students were teary as we have to say goodbye soon.

To brighten the atmosphere,

they played some upbeat song and the classroom just turned into a club.

I cant believe that the ending is drawing close.
It feels like just yesterday that we got to know the China students.
After six weeks, we finally have to say goodbye.

Day Thirty Eight: LAST.!,

Had our very last presentation in China at 9.30am today.
The day before i only had less than 2 hours of sleep!
That explains why i look so listless.
Its all because our flexsim model couldnt run and we spent the whole night figuring things out.
When we finally did, its already 7am and we had to rush the report and powerpoint slides.
Throughout the whole presentation, i was zombie-like.
Luckily we were the first group to present and i could just rest after we were done.

After that, everybody was so happy that it was the very last BPE lesson.

Soon it was time to take lotsa pictures.

Now it really feels like we are really going home!

THANKS CLIVE for the tie!

Then we had lunch and it was time to enjoy!

Went to Bu Xing Jie for the umpteen time.

Thats officially the most visited place.

Shop shop shop.

Its so hard to find sandals for my dad!

When i finally see one, its too expensive!

Everybody did last minute shopping for gifts.

And now we are all broke.

Greatness~

Day Thirty Seven: Its killing me.!,

Everyone is busy today.
Rushing the presentation which was supposed to be due today,.
But luckily Mr Wong postponed it as our schedule was too hectic.
Nevertheless, not enough time lahh!
I spent the whole day staring at my laptop thinking of what to write for the report.
I think im having a writer's block.
So, since staying in the room is super unproductive.
I went for a foot massage with the others.
Went back and i still did not have any motivation to continue with the project.
I think its too tough as I dont really understand the flexsim software.
The tutorials we had wasnt sufficient.
I hate hate hate it!

Day Thirty Six: If Only..!,

Thursday, April 9, 2009

We had to wake up early in the morning after all the activities during the weekend.
Of course many of us were protesting and unwilling to go.
With a sleepy out of bed look, we dragged ourself to the other campus where the ECE students were staying at.
We were then divided into 4 groups.
Each team then had to come up with a name and create a logo for the flag.
We finally settled for 'Spongebobes' which was derieved from Spongebob.
The reason
Our flag was yellow and it reminded everyone of spongebob squarepants.

Believe it or not, I DREW THAT!!

The first game was to build some kind of conveyor belt made of newspaper.
We then stand inside and start to move.
Unfortunately, ours wasnt strong enough and it broke halfway through.
We ended up third :(

Next up was lunch and we visited the guys dorm.

OH MY GOD.

They have a living room..

WITH A TV!!

A TV eh!!

And their room....

Totally like a hotel room.

They even have someone coming to change their bedsheet every week.

Not fair!

Ive been using my bedsheet for 5 freaking weeks!

They even have a toilet bowl.

So comfortable!

I wont mind staying there for 1 year.

We then resumed our activities.

First was this:

I have no idea what its called.

The gap is really huge.

I thought that i would fall right through.

But i managed to complete it.

Go me!

Next up:

This is a trust game.

I wouldnt dare jumping off if i dont trust the people catching.

Since im heavy, i was afraid that i would just fall flat on the ground.

Luckily everything went well.

Last but not least,

ROCK CLIMBING!!!!!

Ive never tried it before in my whole entire life.

So i thought, Why not?

SO i went for it,

I tried my best but my arm was not strong enough!

Oh well

At least i tried.

All good things must come to an end and it was time to take a group picture.

We still had some time left before the bus come to fetch us.
The ECE guys were kind enough to show us around.
They even help me and Ja take pictures with their camera.
THANKS GUYS.
We should have this activities earlier so that we can all know aech other better and spend our time together with them.

PS: Why is their school so nice?
