last week, week 6

9th march
wanted to go to guang gu with yuxuan during morning for shopping. but last minute mr wee said he wants to treat us for lunch. went to this chinese restaurant just beside our school. the food was awesome. the fish was the nicest! super fresh and tender. after which we had our graduation ceremony held at the main office building. the vice principal of wuhan polytechic, teacher jack, eric and the director of international school was present. the vice principal of wuhan polytechic gave his speech, after which was mr wee then jia ning represent us and gave everyone a speech. then we have the video montage done by marcus and some others. the video was awesome, totally captured all the memories we had in china.
gotten our certificate from the vice principal and after which we had a group photo outside the main building
went to hu quan at night for some last minute shopping and headed to guang gu to meet the guys for dinner. wanted to have jap cusine but we reached there too late and the restaurant was closing soon.
went to the food street instead. bought some snacks to eat and headed back to our hostel by bao che.
still hungry and we went to have jjm.
then headed back to hostel to pack our luagges as we are flying back to sinagpore tmr!
chatted with my mum via msn to tell her the timing i will reach sinagpore tmr so that they can come and fetch me.
then feeling hungry again, we called for mac delievery. upsized fish fillet :) after we had our supper.
4 of us offically start our luggage packing.
I SPENT 4 HOURS PACKING MY LUGGAGE BUT STILL I CANT FINISH PACKING.
IT WAS ALREADY 4 AM. WENT TO SLEEP FIRST AS I WAS TOO TIRED. YUXUAN WAS STILL PACKING AS WE BOUGHT ALOT OF STUFFS HAHA.





10th march
woke up early in the morning although our meeting time was at 10. packed my luggage again. finally everything was stuffed inside the luggage and another big hand carry bag i lent from yuxuan.
and my nightmare came! how am we going to move our luggage from the 4th floor to first floor.
carried joei's and my luggage with joei.
IT WAS SUPER TIRING AND SUPER SUPER HEAVY! CARRYING THE HEAVY LUGGAGES AND WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS IS NO JOKE. CAN JUST KILL ME. WAS SWEATING LIKE MAD AFTER THE LOADING OF LUGGAGES.
then we board the bus and some of the girls bought too much things and had so much bags and boxes of pokky. we spent like half and hour to load everything inside the bus. everyone of us helped with the loading even if the luggage or the bag is not ours.
these 5 weeks of bonding really bring us together. everyone helped each other and i feel so happy and heart warming seeing this.
had an hour of bus ride and we reached the airport.
went to check in our luggages, we are all so worried that we will exceed the weight limit as there are so many bags and boxes and we bought alot things there.
i came to wuhan with a luaggage of 17kg and leave wuhan with a luggage and a big bag of 38kg in total! more than double the original weight!
reached singapore at around 10.10pm. then checked out and collect our luggages. went to the duty free shop to buy liquor, martell for my dad but i'm still under 18 cause i havent celebrate my birthday yet. thanks joei for helping me buy the martell :D
then bid goodbyes with the others, cant bear to say goodbye to eachother. we then parted ways and i finally get to see my parents and bro who were waiting for me at the airport! so happy to see them. miss them so much!
HOME SWEET HOME <3

Week 5

2nd april
was sick for the past few days, coughing non stop. didnt went for pjm tutorial, feeling super weak. the rest came back at around 11plus after their lesson. then they went to guang gu for ajisen and the guys wants to go there to shop. yuxuan and me didnt go, i was feeling weak and yuxuan wants to study for the test on tues, 3rd april. 
we decided to go to walmart for lunch, stucked at home for quite long and i want to go out for a breather :) 
saw mr wee on the way, he asked if i'm okay. thanks mr wee :) went to have kfc, cause i have craving for mash potatoes and fries for like few days already. feel so happy and satisfies after the lunch. then we went to do our nails :) cost only 50RMB. their services is really great. then we went to walmart and shop. after which, went to have starbucks :) 
today is a great day, get to eat and drink things that i have been craving for the past few days. 
went back home and saw joei and all on the way home. 
went back to hostel and officially start our revison for tmr's pjm test.
write notes from 3pm-7pm. everyone was studying on their own. very hard to absorb as i didn't really listen to class. nothing just goes in my head. 
then start memorizing all the theory for like 3 hours. 8-11pm
then we have a surprise birthday party for shine at midnight! :) 



3rd april.
free during morning as mr wee wants us to study for our test. had our test at 3pm. and i can say i do very badly for the test. one essay question which cost around 6 marks and i only wrote like 3 sentences? while others wrote half a foolscap. really want to bang myself to the wall.
but was really happy that the test came to the end. we only left with presentation for our pjm's toipc 5. and it will mark the end of our pjm lesson in wuhan. 
i stayed at home again while the others went to have dinner. feeling super weak. for the presentation, was grouped with yx, joei, marcus, shine and dehao. the guys went to our hostel to do the project. spent around 2 hours doing the ppt and everyone of us voiced our own opinion regarding the case study mr wee gave. 

4th april
we got class in the morning then tutorial in the noon. the 4hours one doing the tutorial on topic 9, planning techniques. the toipc was kind of compliacted, quite lost when doing the tut. we sit there for 4 hours with any breaks to do 1 questions. then back to hostel
at night we touch up on project at marcus hostel

5th april.
presentation day. 
had our presentation at 10am. and i can say our presentation is quite well done :) good job guys! (: 
and know what? we do not need to attend lessons anymore :) free time all the way :) 
then afternoon go han zheng jie, han jie shopping
was feeling sick again during eveing at han jie.
had century egg lean pork porridge for dinner at show as my throat is painful. 
ate panadol after the dinner, feeling really feverish and abit of giddy.
then cab back to hostel, spent around 40mins cabbing home
then rest at home.

6th april
skip the trip to the "ci pi" cause i was feeling sick. came to know that many of my classmates didnt went for the trip as they overslept and some were sick. heard from joei and yx that mr wee was very angry. joei, rachael and yuxuan came back at around 5pm and told me that mr wee restricted those who skip the trip for no reasons for going out today. and came to know that mr wee ask those who skip to write letter/ reflection.  sorry mr wee ): really sorry for our class to cause you problem everytime.

7th and 8th april

went to hu quan to shop. spent like 700RMB in 3 hours. just so awesome! :) last minute shopping, bought things for my family and friends. and of course for myself :)
then went to han zheng jie on 8th april and went to guang gu with yuxuan at night. finally bought my bro stuffs. so happy:)
then went back at around 9 plus.

Week Four

lessons as usual, but the lessons we had from this week onwards are all pjm as there are no more IS class. so the timetable is kind of more relax.

26th march
water will be cut off from 6am to next morning 9am.
rachael and joei get to bath cause they are the first 2 to wake up. me and yuxuan have no water to bath and brush teeth. had to buy those bottled water to brush our teeth and wash our face.
from this, i realise how important water is to us, esp in singapore. water is just so easily accesible
for us, we just open the tap and we have clean water. this makes me to cherish every little things in our lives that we often take for granted. imagine in third world countries like africa, they do not even have clean water to use and drink. even if they have, they need to walk hundred of miles of disatance to collect water. water to them is just so precious, unlike us, who take everything for granted.
had lesson on morning, and yes, going to class without bathing.
mr wee cancelled the afternoon class because he wants us to prepare for the presentation slides to the hospitality students.
but we went to have do our hair at walmart there. "YES I DO." most of us had hair treatment and few of them had their hair dyed. the salon also face the problem of their water supply been cut off.
the toilet there also have problem flushing the toilet and we had no water to wash our hand.
i think this problem wont be likely to happen in sinagpore as our standard of living is higher and if one day our water were told be be cut off for one full day, can you imagine how many people will be complaining to the govt?
went back to hostel at evening at around 5plus.
then had dinner being delievered to our hostel then went over to dehao's hostel to do our presentation.

27th march
the guys had a friendly basketball match with the china students there and i can say the students there are skilled in their basketball. and the result is our guys lose by 3 points to the china students. good job everyone! :) then they had group photo taking to keep as memories.
had our presentation at 3pm with the local hospitatilty students. they also prepared ppt to let us know more about their culture and lifestyles. we exchange pointers and i learnt alot of new things from them. had better understanding of wuhan and their lifestyles as students.
the students are all very hosting and friendly. they are all very well coming to us and wanted to bring us to tour around the school and even out of the school.

28th march

it was our one day tour that was postponed which was originally on the second week. first stop, we went to wuhan university to see the sakura flower "ying hua" the ying hua was blooming as spring is coming. it was a magnificent sight as it was my first time seeing sakura flower. it was a good experience.
then we went to the yellow crane tower. and followed by han street.
the guys love the han street, its like their shopping heaven. it has shop like H&M, Marks & spencer, C&A and many more. we went to h&m and i bought shirts for my dad. the price there is like the same as the h&m in singapore.
after which, we went to guangu at night. went there to shop and have our dinner there.

then went to this museum 
photos speak a thousands word :)













29th march

we went to this arts school campus, but it is the old campus, hence there was it was no longer in use. i can say inside was like of creepy as it looks very old and revamp.
went inside, i can say the student there is very talented. their drawings and work pieces are awesome!
after which we had our lunch at this street, but i forgotten the name. it has all the food from everywhere in china. the food sold there are cheap and nice.
next stop: a clay shaping place. the clay piece all look very real to me. the clay pieces potray the old times in china.













at night, we had Golden Hans, it's a buffet with bbq meat and many meat and other food. each person only needs to pay 55RMB. how can we find this kind of price in china!? it's completely impossible! and that's why because of this reason, i like china so much :)
the food there is quite nice, they served us chicken heart, cow's tongue and many more. they also have rice, noodles, vege, soup and deserts! i love their soup as it really have the "home feel" when you drink. the ice cream there taste weird. the cake they serve is nice :) the fruits in china is very sweet and juicy. i ate mostly fruits during the buffet. haha.
after the dinner, i was feeling unwell and i feel very hot. joei feels my forehead and told me i was running a high fever. we then went home. yuxuan , rac joei and the guys went to walmart to buy cake for samantha's birthday ( 30th march) , while i stay at home alone because i was feeling really weak. they plan to have a surprise party for samantha at midnight at her hostel. but i missed it cause i really cant bring myself to leave the bed. the others and the guys went to celebrate her birthday and came back at around 1 plus. as we have to wake up early tmr for the 3 gorges dam trip. i was so worried i cant make it for the trip as i was really feel giddy and coughing non stop.

30th march - 1st april

wake up at 10 plus and get ready for the trip. havent even pack my bag for the trip as i was sleeping the whole night ytd when i reach home. was so rushed as we had to meet at 12noon outside haiyi building.
board the bus, the bus journey is 6 hours again. and i slept throughout the bus ride except for toilet breaks. i drink like loads and loads of water in bus as my throat was so dry and hurting like mad. cough almost every minute during the ride. cant stand my throat! reached yi-chang and around 5.30 . had early dinner and we have our free time. went to this big shopping centre and we start to shop around. stuck in this particular shop for like 2 hours. this shop sells lucky charms, and bracelet . almost everyone bought something in this shop. i bought one bracelet for myself. the auntie told me it can protect myself from harm. and it cost 33RMB only!! :)
then went back to the hotel room at around 10plus. again, i cough non stop at night and i vomited a few times. thanks to yuxuan for taking of me and brewing tea for me to drink :) didnt even sleep the whole night, feels really uncomfortable and was coughing like mad almost every second.
next day,
went to board the cruise, teacher and the tour guide told us it's a brand new cruise and we are the first batch of passenger! haha we are so lucky!
had around 3 hours of cruise ride. i just sit at the sofa the whole journey.
went to the 3 gorges dam exhibition. everything is just so magnificent. china people are really very advance as the 3 gorges dam is the biggest dam in the whole and it provides electricity to almost the whole of yichang. imagine how many watts of electricity they have saved each year. i think every country should look upon china in this aspect.
tour around and took photos.
photos speaks all :)

went to the shopping centre again at night haha. went to that same shop again.
same situation as last night, cough and cough like there's no tmr for me. another sleepless night. vomited again. god bless me! really have to thanks to all my friends who show concern to me. those who offer me tissue, throat sweet, medicated oil. <3 really touched and those who asked me if i'm okay. :) many many loves to all of you! love my classmates so much!
last day in yi chang.
went to this water fall place. do many walking. i think we walked at least 5km of walk. my legs are so tired and there was this swaying bridge which makes me so giddy and my leg like jelly. but had lots of fun :) went to buy raincoats as we are going to walk under a waterfall later. a brand new experience. so fun! the scenery and sight of the water is awesome. the water is very so so clear!







SHINE CLIMBING THE STONE



CLEAR WATER




again, had 6 hours of bus ride back to wuhan. missed the mart's jjm so much. was thinking of it everyday in yichang! and yup, i slept throughout the journey again and i drink like 3 bottles of water in just 2 hours. and guess what, you correct! i cough non stop AGAIN during the bus ride. tried to control myself from coughing as i was worried that i will disturb the others from resting.
finally reached our hostel at around 5plus. had pala for dinner. called for delievery. i ate nonspicy chicken and mushroom rice. healthy right? cause my throat cant stand spicy food and my throat is officially sick ):
after dinner, i went back to hostel to rest. weak mind and body.
