41 days ago, while me jasper and hardy were on the plane leaving singapore, we still had questions for each other like are we sure we can adapt to china? do you think we can survive without the comfort of our home, the luxuries in singapore, the food and the people?

days and weeks past, we already had the answer in our heads: a definite YES.

from the first day on, i grew up. i endured the extremely cold weather, i learnt to take care of myself. of cos it wouldn't happen if i was without my friends. we look aft each other and we are all like one big family. not forgetting mr chong oso. he really worked very hard to ensure our safety and welfare.

i will miss wuhan alot and i bet i will not forget the happy moments i had for this trip. the tours we went were all very enriching and the places in china are so beautiful.
i miss talking/hanging out/crapping/walking/eating with the people(hardy, jasper, jerald, cimin)
i miss back alley. all the food that are so cheap but nice. every night will definitely get my supper there.
i miss fake kfc
i miss everything of the past 6 weeks
and i have made alot of new friends too. BIG thanks to the local students for taking care of us while we were there. and not forgetting my dear l.s.c.t mates and m.d.e ppl! u all rock!

day 40

Shopping day!

went to han zheng jie for like the 3rd time to do our last min shopping. set off at around 10am to take the bus there. so i bought some gifts like belts and watch. had lunch at the fake kfc over there.(ate my last roasted chicken) and then did some more shopping. took 588 wif jasper and hardy at around 6 becos we have to get back in time for our dinner wif mr chong.

went over the Qin Feng(the restaurant nearest to the front gate) and mr chong treated us all to dinner. sat separately though. and we had lyk 8 great dishes. after dinner i walked around the area near the school and together wif jasper and hardy, we bought our last supper at back alley.

went back dorm to pack my luggage. slept around 5plus.

day 39

Zoo + farewell party day!

Finally had time and the chance to go to the zoo. mr chong and I had been wanting to visit the zoo since lyk week 3 becos we wanted to see the pandas. so while others went shopping, me jasper and mr chong took a cab at around 12pm to the wuhan zoo.

the admission ticket was 20 yuan. and the zoo is seriously very big. its like a park at first because i couldn't see any animals and there were even amusement park rides for kids. so we followed the direction arrows and our only aim was the pandas.

past by different animals lyk the bears, monkeys and peacocks b4 we reached the panda enclosure. by the way, the zoo is very different frm the singapore zoo. every animal will be in a cage, and then there will be another cage surrounding it. so its not easy to take a nice picture. the animals seems sick also, and that was not surprising to me because their livng conditions are pretty bad from what i see.

luckily we no need to pay extra for the viewing of the pandas, spammed loads of pictures of them. (:

we returned and had dinner at ni nan. went over to 702 to have our farewell party.
ate cakes, sang songs, took pictures and chit-chat. everybody was really high and partying.

day 38: thursday

today was our presentation for the environment tech. project! the night b4 my grp hardly slept or din't sleep at all as we were rushing to complete the assignment. and we went to mac at 7 plus to rehearse for 1 hr and had breakfast b4 we head to classroom 506 for the last time at 9am.

my grp(me hardy and jasper) was the 3rd grp to present and i felt we did quite an okay job. lets hope our marks will be alright too.

so after that we went back our dorm to finish up the report and handed in to mr chong at 5pm. we had fake kfc for dinner next.

oh ya i said i will publish the photos of chicken fries(btw if you do not know abt it, it's a snack frm the back alley which is best for supper!)

day 36

leadership activity day!

today we went to the e.c.e ppl side to engage in a 1day leadership development programme. it was some sort lyk a one day camp whr we have been told there will be high elements activities.

so we boarded the bus and it took 1 hr plus to bring us all to the WUST zhong nan branch where all the e.c.e ppl are staying. their sch is really very big and new. however i must say it is quite deserted.

so we went to the "camp site" beside the sch and our day started off as the main instructor divided all(m.d.e+l.s.c.t+e.c.e) into 4 different groups. within our own grp, we thought of a grp name, a grp song/cheer, and designed our own flag. my group name was "zhong xin" which simply means china+singapore.

after presenting to the rest about your own group, our nxt task was to construct a tank wheel chain using newspapers. and everybody must be standing inside the chain to act as the wheels and the team that can move forward the furthest and fastest will win the competition. sad to say, my team wasn't very creative and our chain broke before we started the competition. however we just continued on and had great fun out of it. our team thus became more bonded aft that.

we went to have our lunch nxt. according the the e.c.e ppl the restaurants opp of their sch are famous for their fishballs, hence we went to try them. ordered some other dishes and everybody paid 18yuan each for the meal.

returned 1 and 1/2 hour later and everbody seems to be excited about the high elements activities coming up. we had another team bonding session first. aft that 2 groups went to do the "plank jump" and the other 2 went to do the "trust fall". my grp did the latter.

it was the first time i am free falling frm 1.5m above ground. with my hands and legs tied, i have to fall backwards and trusting my team mates below to catch me. i believe it was a great activity to build up trust among team mates and the courage inside one self.

we then swap with the 2 other groups and did the jumping from one plank to another about 8m from ground. this task oso trains our courage and i think its not that difficult so everybody from the 2 groups tried and succeeded if i am not wrong.

the final activity was rock climbing! which most of the students are looking forward to. after that had a mini debrief then it was touring round the "camp site" and taking pictures.
