awesome one: second week

had pjm class at morning and IS lecture by mr 石定乐. most of our class sleep through his class as it was really boring. unlike mr jack, who keep quiet even though we were sleeping in his class. Mr 石 kind of scolded us, and ask why are we sleeping and asked us for the reasons. we all think that he speaks very softly in class but none of us dare to tell him the reason. me myself also cant control myself but doze off in his class.
rest of the days, we had pjm lessons at morning and IS lectures at afternoon taught by china lecturers there. the china lecturers preactically speaks english during the lesson.
there was this one day trip in wuhan to yellow crane tower, han street and hubei museum on friday. but due to bad weather, the trip was postponed to another day.

HUQUAN

wonderful friday, had pjm on morning then no class on afternoon. everyone's excited about where to go. and we all agreed to go to "lao shu jie" . mr wee told us it's a shopping paradise for us girls. so good of the guys to go there with us :)

went there by cab and it's just like 15mins drive only from our hostel. reached there at around 4pm. went to the food street, it sells a variety of food. eg. bbq drumlets, ice cream, tau huey, bubblet ea, fried rice and more!

we went to try the tao wan "shou chua bing", it's like a roti prata with ingredients inside. you can choose the ingredients you want. most of us chose pork floss with egg and it only cause 5.50 RMB. the "shou chua bing" is really nice! highly recommended to everyone to try when you come here! :) the guys are lovin it!

then we girls officially start our shopping spree! we went to the "lao shu jie" first, which is highly recommend by mr wee. but there isn't much things inside. so we went to explore another place, but still in the same area.

and omg, our spree officially starts here, right now. this place is totally heaven! it's like mnay rows of shops, and the things that is sold here is just so cheap, yes CHEAP! what's even better that, you still can bargain the price. can you imagine a belt selling at only $2? omg it's like not even possible in sinagpore. a belt sold in siangpore is at least $5. the things sold here is quite in line with the fashion in singapore.

shopping here at hu quan is just the happinest moment in my life! buy and spent money like nobody's business because the things here IS JUST SO CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

HAHAHA SO HAPPY. SPENT 300+ RMB in just like 3 hours.

then met with the guys and cab back home. the guys was shocked by the number of plastic bags we are carrying. hahaha. i bought 4 bags, 2 boxes of mask, 2 shirts, jeans, 2 leggings in total that day.

18th march

went to black forest park for barberque with the china students. gathered outside haiyi building at 8.30am. yes, it's 8.30AM IN THE MORNING. i was very shocked and surprised when i know that in china , people have their bbq at morning, and it's very early. in singapore, normally bbq starts earliest during morning. china has really got different culture and practice compared to us.

bus came and picked us up and drive us to the black forest. as there was also quite a number of china student following us to the bbq. the bus was kind of have got no seats available for some of them. i can see that china guys are really very gentlemen as they gave up their seats to the girls and even to their guys friends. they also make sure we, each of the singapore students have got seats to seat. so, they leave me a very good impression of china guys. ( i dont really like china people before this oip trip, because of some of the china people's behaviour in singapore ).

reached the place at around 9.45. we walked a very very long distance to our bbq pit. even though it is still very early but the park was already packed with people bbq-ing their food. reached our bbq pit, and we were break into groups of 4, then lead by 2-3 china students. we were grouped together to interact with eachother and know eachother better. grouped with joei, weimeng and johnathan. we then went to explore the black forest, along with 5 china students. the china girls chit chat with us and suddenly weimeng had stomach-ache. haha we waited for him outside the toilet for him to finish his "big business" . then we went to the monkey area to see monkey. we walked for like 2 hours then we went back to the bbq pit. the food the bbq was nice as they add chilli powder and another powder ( i'm not sure what's that) which adds flavour to the food). we left the place at around 4pm. went back to the hostel. we went to walmart at night then settle our dinner there too.

me and my snacks :)

finally get to skpye with my parents. and we have our very own computer rooms :) and and most importantly, it's my first time operating a washing machine. i never ever once touch my house's washing machine. actually it's quite easy to use haha. the first clothes we washed is our undergarments. and we used the balcony to hand all the undergarments as it has better ventilation.

while i was sleeping, i heard exploding sound. and i thought there was an explosion near our hostel. but to my surprise it was the fireworks. and from my seniors who went to this oip trip, they said they was fireworks almost everyday at the fixed timing. and indeed, there are really fireworks everyday around 8pm. in singapore, we only have fireworks on special occasion like national day. and having firework is really expensive. in china, they put fireworks as though it is free. but the good thing is that we can enjoy fireworks everyday here at wuhan from our hostel. haha. which is impossible in singapore to have fireworks everyday.
