day 29: 3 great food i have nv tried b4

woke up ard 12 15pm in the afternoon because the night b4 slept at 4am. prepared for class at 1pm and blogged day 28 post.

first news mr chong annouced was that common test changed to 1pm. so less time to study?
then lesson for 2 hrs then it was movie time again! watched EARTH today and understand more about the artic, polar bears, the nature etc.. went for dinner at macdonals ard 6pm.

tried my first nice food! : 猪堡堡!spicy pork burger



always wanted to try the pork burger whenever i am in mac in china becos singapore do not have that. so ate it wif jasper today. And... its really nice! the crispy pork meat wif the sauce. woo. satisfying meal at only 16.50yuan. btw we ate wif felicia and xin hui today.



after dinner went to buy eggs frm supermarket and then to back alley to try the mutton satay we always wanted to try! Conclusion: we are going to have it everyday!


really big satay which costs 3bucks for one
hungry me went out to buy supper at 10.30. i bought the "chicken strips/fries" and its superb. seriously. on par wif mutton satay i guess? unfortunately dun have pics for it. shall take and post it nxt time.


I NEED TO STUDY! BYE~

day 28

MONDAY
went for class at 10.30am . mr chong told us about our trip this wednesday to the WUST new campus. and after some negotiations, common test is officially postponed to thursday 4pm!

so basically he talked to all of us about the proposal for our week 6 presentation and released us for lunch at 11 40 so me hardy and jasper went to back alley to buy from the same fried rice/noodles store.




resumed class at 1 and learned about air pollution. but because everybody was lyk so bored and tired, mr chong showed us the movie-the other end of the line at around 3plus.
its a pretty nice romantic comedy that talks about the love between a "credit card girl" working in india and her client living in USA.
i realised mr chong does not show us movies just for fun or to entertain us. theres always some very important lessons to learn in his movies. And as for this particular movie, we can understand the importance of family and how we should always try our best to achieve the things we want.
btw, shared a soccer ball with hardy because we miss soccer so much!
10yuan ball from roadside uncle.
going to class in 10 mins. bye~

week 4's weekend

SATURDAY
had another M.D.E+L.S.C.T tour today. this time round we only took a less than a hr ride to 汉口江滩. some sort lyk a park. however it was raining heavily so we proceeded to 步行街 first to shop around.

there are alot of shops over there. spotted around 5 nike, 5 adidas, 5 kappa retail outlets at least? so me hardy jasper and jerald walked around and was constantly approached by ppl wanting to sell their illegitimate goods. pretty irritating..

so as it was so cold due to the rain and none of us really had something in mind to buy, we went to lunch at a fast food restaurant(Dico's) first. their main course is not chicken or burger. its rice!
after that we continue to enter different shops to look at clothes, went to bank oso to help hardy enquire about the exchanging of money.

at 2pm we met up wif the rest and went back to the park area. still drizzling thou so went to take some photos at the park and then went back to bus for our journey back to university.

week 4

time flies, week 4 is ending. which means i am here for a mth already. i am starting to think about how i am going to miss wuhan after i return to singapore.
JUST HAVE TO ENJOY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE NOW!

so basically a summary on week 4.

Monday, tuesday and wednesday were as per normal. had lessons wif mr chong, and he finished showing us madagascar 2 and red cliff.

but i have to comment on monday's dinner. we went to this restaurant nearest to our school and mr chong told them table for 17, then we they led to this big private room, with toilet inside, sofa and a big television. initially we were afraid theres going to be extra charges, but during payment and to our surprise, each person only had to pay 22yuan!


Thursday: had lessons in the morning and then afternoon was left doing tutorial 6 and giving presentation. ALL the np students did a good job on their part and i think that the local students and lecturers were really interested in what we were presenting.



Friday. 2nd industrial visit. we went to the Yangtze optical fibre and cable company to get to understand more abt fibre optics. which is basically glass fibre in cables used to tansmit data through light. so we were led by a host to look at some of the processes lyk the quality control management. Also found out that the company is actually the second biggest in china!






So our tour ended in around one hr then we went to view the sakura flowers at wuhan university. had to pay 10yuan for entrance fee but i dun really think it was that worth it.





Still beacutiful thou.

headed over to that shopping mall with a Wal Mart nxt and went K for 2 hrs while some shopped and some played pool. the ktv was really cheap, 1 hr in the medium room: 32 yuan. although no drinks or tidbits.
they have up to date songs!



didn't have dinner near there cos we wanted to eat the fake kfc chicken. so cabbed back.

wudang mountain part 2

SUNDAY.

after such a nice rest at the wonderful hotel, all the ppl set off at 6.30 am for breakfast. everybody could be seen eating more than usual to have more energy to conquer mount wudang
With gatorades, mineral water, food..etc in our hands, we took the internal bus again to 南岩(the southern grotto palace). took a group pic with the tour guide b4 our climb.
the climb was fun, seeing friends encouraging each other not to give up and persist on. food was also shared among all.

Result? : everybody completed the hike and we were quite fast too. (=


thought u finished? theres more!



fyi this post is pictures, pictures and more pictures.

100-step stairs


me and hardy


me and tour guide aft completing the above

after around 15 mins later, we saw the peak!



more stairs

0.3km to金顶!



when we reached, the ppl taking cable car were not even there yet. AND, turns out we have to go up another flight of narrow and squeezy stairs to reach the TOP/HIGHEST point.

And finally we reached!




WE went down the mountain by taking the cable car. quite scary at times during the ride because of the strong winds.



TOOk more pics after we touched ground.
WE LOVE 武当山!
