when the guys were in the gym doing work out.
i saw this kid with his grandpa wondering around.
wonder what he went there for?


the baby's face is very red right?
don't really know the reason why.
but the baby have been crying for quite some time.
either because of the people smoking, or the noise level
if not it would be the mother ignoring the child.




our tour guide for the day.


our driver for the bus ride around the lake!
and he smokes when he drives!
he's not the only one, the rest of the drivers did the same thing.


found this lady cleaning!
she's like the one and only one there cleaning.


while visiting yellow crane tower, this boy stood beside us with a fake rifle!
he just stood there and aim at the ground for quite some time! weird right?



jayden and wenhao's favourite stall at wu quan.
as the sotong she fry is marvellous.
after eating once, you would want to eat more!








her mother asked her to pose for me. as she saw me taking pictures of her
took when waiting on the stairs for the rest of the people to reach to head for yellow crane tower.





this girl had been playing with the umbrella for the whole of the visit of yellow crane tower.

day42

woke up early this morning, as mr chua said that he would bring a weighing machine for us to weigh our luggage, luckily mine wasn't overweight, thanks to wenhao and nicholas, for letting me put my BIG SIZE teddy bear and my food in their luggage. after everyone weigh their luggage, we started shifting everything to the bus. the journey lasted for about an hour, was sleeping throughout, too tired. when we reached wuhan airport, mr chua treated us for lunch! thank you mr chua. then we check in our luggage. and when we reach guangzhou, we had to rush as we were late.

11pm, reached singapore, first thing that everyone did was to take our their phones and call their parents to ask them where they are. and then went to the duty free shop, as they had to buy gifts for their parents or relatives. after that collect our luggage and find our parents!

it's so nice to be back in singapore after such a long time.
but i will definately miss wuhan.

day41

okay, this morning woke up early, around 7 as we wanted to go to shou yi guang chang which is located at the yellow crane tower, the shopping mall that sells fake goods. so this time round we took a bus there, but somehow we all slept in the bus thus we missed the shops, and the distance from the shopping mall and the place we alight was super far, so we had to take another bus there. we reached the mall at 9.30 so we walked around to look for a restaurant to sit down and have breakfast. ate you tiaos which is crispy but oily. the boys ordered some noodles which was far too spicy for me, and the taste was weird. after breakfast, went to the ATM mall to buy stuff, but we were sort of in a rush, as there would be a closing ceremony later in the afternoon, so after shopping wen to have lunch at the beefsteak restaurant. then back to the shopping mall to buy something for jeremy and cab back to school. love the lady at one of the shop selling vans shoe and porters bag.

took group photos outside school, then rest at dorm, before heading for the closing ceremony. waited for almost an hour for the china students, and first we played some games and then performance by the students. love the dancing part when arvind was sabo-ed, it was so hilarious. after that went to an empty space between the foreign language school and the business school. we were given some of the fireworks, but managed to play with just 2 of them, as benson forced me to, but it's a good experince, as the feeling was so nice when you lit the firework yourself and also the effect was marvellous. and the fireworks were so beautiful, after that went off for dinner!

day39
woke up late, and had lunch at the same fishball restaurant that we went too. this time round didn't get to eat the vegetable and the egg dish that we ordered last time, so we had to change to tomato and egg, but in the end no one ate the tomato, and they only had one serving of rice, but they went to cook for us again. and then when we manage to finish everything, the rice came so we order another dish, but the vegetable sucks! and thanks the boss, he recognize us and therefore gave us some advantage. after lunch went back to dorm, to finish up abit of the work, then headed to wu quan, as we wanted to finish buying stuffs for our friends and relatives. thanks marc, he's super good at bargaining! and i mean it. he's seriously good at it!

day 38
today we went hankou for another round of shopping, the weather was much better as compared to the previous time that we came, as the previous time when we came, it was raining, and also to the time constrain we didn't walk around that much. this time we manage to go to a shopping mall that is similar to the ATM shopping that is located at yellow crane tower! and for lunch, we have beefsteak at another restaurant, this time the restaurant looks more high class, but yet the price is still quite alright! the difference is that the beefsteak is much more delicious that the previous one. after that we also went to another shopping mall, it is older as compared to the previous ones, and the things that are not really what we are looking for!
thanks to the weather, it makes shopping easier for me, and also thanks that we manage to find more shopping malls and manage to walk through more parts of hankou!

counting down; 4days

day37

this morning jayden, wenhao and me went to show mr ma our project together, and when it was my turn mr ma started to ask questions, didn't really understood what he said. but well, it was still alright. after that went back to IT mall as the boys wanted to get razer mouse and ear piece! but before that we had lunch at the cheap fastfood restaurant, now then NICHOLAS took out a vip card, but the vip card doesn't really work. after lunch, we went to the original shopping mall where we saw all these things. then we stood at a particular booth for 1 hour plus, as after bargaining for the earpiece, they bought mp3. but the lady gave them the wrong price so they had to give 20RMB back to the lady. then headed off to buy razer mouse. after that we walk down the street to buy shoes at the warehouse and went back to dorm.

day 36

counting down; 6 days!

today is free and easy day, as the theory test 2 was postponed to the second day of school reopen. this morning went to shou yi guang chang which is a shopping mall near the yellow crane tower, first thing thing there was lunch at a beef steak restaurant called hou caller, the steak is super nice! and in the end we had a VIP card, as we ate quite an amount, and after eating the meal, i was so full. then went off to shopping. bought one pair of VANS shoe and a t-shirt. and we went to streets that we missed last time round, but half way through, benson marc wenhao and arvind left as they wanted to go to gym. after they left we continue shopping then met up with nicki dave jeremy and stepfan and head back to school.

reflection.
when you want a van, there's none, when you don't need, there's tons of them. and there really is nice food in china, such as the beefsteak restaurant, even though its expensive, but its worth it. and one thing i don't like shopping in china is that when you step into a shop, they will follow you all around, another thing is that there alot of road stalls in china, everywhere there will be someone who will tend a stall along the street.

day35
counting down; 7 days!

today we had a training session, it looks like outward bound singapore. the day started by doing some bonding games! like the girls is 50 cents, and the guys are a dollar, so when the instructor give us a price we have to form the groups, and another one is the squirrel the trees, so when the earthquake comes everyone have to change, when fire comes, the trees have to change, when the hunter comes, the squirrel have to run! then the other students came, and we were seperated into 4 groups! then we had think of a logo, the group name and a song! then we had to do trust fall! and another one which we had to jump across the bridge! these activities were alright, as i went before outward bound singapore so i did before, it wasn't scary for me! but i missed out the rock climbing, as i was too lazy to climb, but anyway i tried before. then we went to gym, and dinner at another different fishball restuarant. only the vegetables in the shop is delicious and the fishball! to my horror, i saw them selling dog meat, or even BUGS!

reflection.
i hate it when you are stand outside a shop to consider whether you want to eat at the restaurant, and the sales person would come forward to you and urge you to go into the shop, like their shop is the best. just like yesterday at the fishball restaurant, when they see customers they are so delighted, that they could snatch customers and tell us that their shop are having discount. their restaurant serving is very different from singapore, they start from all the dishes then to the rice. and the portion of the food is very big!

day 34

went for APPG remedial, which started at 10. mr chua didn't really teach much, but understood the main points for chapter 6 and 7! or rather i do hope that i really understood. then headed to canteen for lunch! was suppose to have another remedial lesson at 2, but i didn't for it, instead i stayed at dorm, to do abit of my miniproject. then went to jog with the guys around the campus, so this is another chance for me to look around the school, didn't realize that the are so many houses at the back! seriously i hate the weather in china, it's so dry, have difficulty breathing when i am running! but well, exercise is good for health. after running went to the fast food restaurant near school for dinner!

♥ 8:40 AM

day33

finally another day, that i managed to sleep for 12 hours. it has been some time since i slept for so long! it felt so good, then headed to canteen for lunch and back to dorm to do some work, then dinner at some roadstall near the school, we ordered fried rice and noodles. but i prefer the noodles, as i think that the noodles taste much better as compared to the rice, even though its dry! ernest then called us up to his dorm to celebrate his mother's birthday! such a good boy! i wonder when was the time that i did this for my mum! the cake was quite delicious! but still i prefer those back in singapore, its much more delicious, as the cake is here is full of whip cream, and its fattening to have too many of them!

day 32

10 more days and we are back to singapore!
today is free and easy time, because the trip to visit the valley of beautiful ladies was cancelled, so went out at 1 plus, as we wanted to go to shi ji guang chang, because that time we saw this place at the map, and we thought it was a shopping mall, but turns out to be an empty space for outdoor activities, so we explored around and got to know thats, there's another supermarket around. turn out that the supermarket area is a whole stretch of food stalls! then benson and wenhao went to cut hair while we walked around! after they finished, went to wu quan to shop and have dinner!

reflection.
sometimes exploring maybe fun, just like today, we thought that the place was a shopping mall, but it turns out that we were wrong, so we had to walk around or ask people, and it was raining.
and its good to know that there are other shopping malls that we have yet to visit! another thing was that when we were resting at KFC, there this little girl who walked around and ask for money, but khoonfong said that she saw this girl eating ice cream even before she went around asking for money, this is so ridiculous! how can they do such a thing? aren't they embarrassed by their own action?
