Day 42 - HOME SWEET HOME

last day in Wuhan.

I woke up at around 8am, but I went back to sleep as my luggages were already packed last night. And so, I missed the weighing part and I only know that my luggages were 34kg from others. Hahas, main reason for my luggages over weight is that I bought too much stuffs, oops !

After the packing, we sat down and took a group photo.

The 102 dormitory mate. From left to right; kang liang, jayden, me, marc, (down) benson, nicholas, wenhao and arvind.

My dormitory mates for 6 weeks, I am definitely going to miss them. I am going to miss the days that we played counterstrike together, the days we studied APPG together, the days we played basketball together, the days we went to the gym together and definitely the days that we joked around.

And the days we "taupok" each other!

Classic :)

last pictures of our dormitory.

we left our memories in our dormitory, hahas.

Around 11 am, we bid our dormitory goodbye as we moved our luggages to the bus. Due to late nights, many were sleeping.


When we reached Wuhan's airport, we still got an hour or so before our flight to Guang Zhou, so we walked around in the airport. The place was pretty boring as the prices is quite expensive here.


We wanted to have lunch at the airport, but due the prices, we hesitated much. Until Mr Chua insisted on treating, then we went into the food court for fried rice. Thanks Mr Chua, for taking good care of us.

After the meal, we went to check in and waited for the flight at around 3pm. During the waiting, some mixed feelings were running through my mind, "I am going to miss Wuhan badly but I am going to miss my family and friends in Singapore."

After a while, that thought gradually disappeared as we boarded the flight to Guang Zhou.


After the one hour flight, we reached Guang Zhou. We had to rush to check in as there isn't much time left until the next flight back home.


Finally, we board the flight to Singapore, so excited about it. While on the flight, I slept throughout the journey except for the dinner part. I ate seafood set, consider not bad as compared to the meal that I ate in the flight from Singapore to Guang Zhou.

20 minutes before the landing of the plane, everyone were getting anxious. When we landed in Singapore, everyone cheered and most of us took out our handphone to inform our families and friends that we had landed.

Last group photo that we took before separating into our own small group.


After that, we went our own ways. Shao Ming helped me to buy heineken beers as I was still underage, :(. The beers were actually meant for my dad.

We went to collect our luggages afterwards, and we went our separate ways. I went out to meet my parents and my auntie, I really miss them.

First thing when I reached Singapore, the weather here is really HOT! even it is night time, my goodness.

After I reached home, I lied down on my bed immediately, hahas.

Day 34 - Monday

I was in my wonderland dreaming until I woke up at 12 noon because of the CS noise caused by the others. But still, I ended up playing too after I woke up. hahas

Nothing much happened, I was slacking during the whole afternoon. I was watching The Mummy - Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Conclusion - The storyline was okay okay, but the female actress acting as "Lin" looked really beautiful. hahas

We went jogging during evening. For some reasons, I did not really have the mood to run, so I was almost walking during the whole journey.

We ran around the campus and at the same time, we also get to sight see as we were running along the lake that was located near our school.

After our jogging, we went to dormitory to bathe. After everyone had finished bathing, we went out for dinner at the cheap fast food restaurant. We ordered chicken burgers. hahas

After that, we went to the nearby provision shop to get some drinks and tidbits. That pretty much ended my day.


8 more days back home ! I miss my mother's cookings, especially steamed chicken wings, fried rice with hotdog and egg, sweet and sour pork and many more.

I also miss my father's nagging, erm, sound quite weird but it's true. Everytime he started to nag, I did not really bother much but after a while, his words usually sounded quite true. Same goes for my aunt too. (For your information, my aunt dotes on me the most, but I just do not know how to appreciate it.)

Lastly, I also miss my sister. I missed the days where I could disturb her, and we always play pillow fights at times. LOL

Day 33 - Sunday

finally i got to sleep until 3pm in the afternoon, and since how long I finally had such a long sleep? o.0 zzz

After I woke up, benson and others wanted to go canteen 3 for lunch so I tagged along. I wanted to eat rice with fried duck meat but too bad, they did not have that so I ordered the fried chicken rice instead. I can't finished the rice and I wonder how the locals are able to finish this everyday.
But still, I ordered one packet of fried chicken as side dish before leaving the canteen.

After that we went to the mini mart to buy stuffs, where I bought plain water, herbal tea and one chocolate bar. After that we went back to recreational club which we wanted to go to the gym but too bad, it wasn't opened on Sunday.

So we chilled at dormitory until 7pm plus and we went out for dinner at the roadside stalls outside our campus. Just before we went out, the outfit that jayden wore was very hilarious.

he looked really hip hop. the color combination is also -.-"

When we reached the stalls, I ordered fried noodle with egg and ham while marc and wenhao ordered fried noodle with egg and mushroom and fried rice with egg and sausage. The noodle tasted not bad ,full of ham and fried egg but too bad, it was too oily. We went over to a fast food restaurant which jayden and wenhao ordered a burger each.

After we went back to dormitory, Jit Siong suddenly knocked on the door to inform us to go up to eat cake. When we went up, we thought it was Jit Siong's birthday or Ernest's birthday but nope, it was neither of them, it was Ernest's mum birthday, quite a filial son :D. We also took individual photos with the cake and assumed that we were the birthday boy or girl, it was quite fun though. After a while, Yong Xin and I brought down the cake for others to eat.

After we finished the cake, marc, arvind, nicholas and me went out for jogging. I wasn't used to the air as it was very dry and it was my first time jogging around the campus in the night. But still, there is always next time, so we would be jogging tomorrow again.
So stay tune! :D

Day 26 - Sunday

Finally we could wake up late as Sunday is a free and easy day for us. But thanks to diyana, all the shouting, screaming and tickling woke me up from my dreamland, "THANKS UH!". She wanted us to accompany her to Lu Xiang Guang Zhang because she wanted to buy her JanSport backpack.

After she bought her bag, we went to the same japanese restaurant for our lunch. This time, I ate char siew ramen. The meat tasted superb; tender and juicy, and the ramen was not too bad either. But sadly, the soup was totally bland. -.-"

But thanks to her, I got to shop around and bought the CoolMax backpack, 5 t-shirts and some accessories.

89 yuan, but I liked the design :D

We returned to dormitory at around 4pm and after a while we had to go for the social interaction event. This time, we would be having barbecue. The event was not that fun, because most of my friends were just sitting around and chatting among each other. And only a few of us decided to barbecue. The pork sticks and the mutton ones tasted just nice. :D


We left the event at around 7pm plus. We went to the restaurant which was just opposite of the barbecue event to have our dinner. We ate fish head soup with fishball, vegetables with egg and fried shrimp. Overall, the meal was not bad.

Day 25 - Saturday

This morning, it was raining heavily and even worse was that the bus driver was late, which made us wait in the heavy rain for like HALF AN HOUR ? The weather was so cold that we were shivering while waiting.

After we boarded the bus, we set off to Wuhan Beach Park first. The bus trip was quite fast, as we took around an hour to reach the park. When we reached the place, it was still raining heavily. As the weather was very harsh, so the tour guide told us to go the Jiang Han Bu Xing Jie first.


We had to walk around 200 metres in the rain to reach the walking street. Along the way, we went into a fast food to have our breakfast first. I ordered chicken rice, but the taste was very different from Singapore's. The taste of ginger in the rice was very strong, so I didn't finish the rice, but I finished the chicken as the chicken was not bad. After that, we shopped along the street and most of the shops were like Adidas, Nike, Kappa and etc. Along the way, we went into Starbucks to chill.

Nicholas trying to act camera shy haha.. Seriously, for a moment they really thought they were at home.. -.-" Click on the above image and take a look at the english words. What are cans ?! -.-"

After that, we went into a shopping mall, which my friends bought play boy jackets. We spent more than a certain amount, so we got a free blue gem and a lucky draw coupon.

when they were buying their playboy jackets.. the free blue gem we got. IT IS "BIG" LOL
the fruit juice that we got from lucky draw. -.-"
and Arvind think that he is funny by drinking like this. LMAO!
the playboy gays. LOL
it was supposed to be a ice cream statue, and it tasted great ! :D

After that, we went back to the park to meet the others. Due to the weather, we could not go anywhere but dormitory. But along the way back to school, we stopped along the way to shop around. We went into a building where there were alot of stuffs like shoes, clothes and bags. We were on shopping spree as I bought one wallet, a pair of shoes, shoe lace and earring.

for your information, BABI in malay is also known as pig.. my black vans shoes with black shoe laces.. :D (I bought the shoes for 50 yuan ONLY!)

After that, we left the building and went for dinner at roadside stalls.

Overall the food I tasted was not bad, like chicken rice (nuo mi fan), grilled scallops and pork dumpling. After that, we cabbed back to dormitory for 50 yuan, imagine how far the place was.

Day 24 - Friday

We woke up in 10am to set off for industrial visit, and this time we are going to Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Company Limited. We took around an hour bus trip to the factory. When we reached the factory, we began to look around at the display at the main hall.

the company is currently number 1 optic fibre company in China.
After a while, a company representative came forward to explain more facts about the company. He also explained about what products the company was producing and the process of the manufacturing. He also gave us a tour around the factory and showed us short video clips of how the company produced their products.

he could speak english somehow..
the information about the process.. while we were listening to what he was explaining but I didn't get what he was saying. LOL :D


After the trip to the factory, we went back to campus where we went to the restaurant outside the campus for lunch. We ordered two big bowl of rice, one plate of tofu (tie pan tou fu), one big plate of vegetables (xiao bai cai), and two meats (gong bao ji ding and xiao pan ji). We were too hungry, that's why there wasn't pictures of the food. SORRY :D.

After the meal, we went back to dormitory to prepare for coming APPG theory test at 4pm. After the test, we went back to dormitory to discuss what to eat for dinner, I hoped it would be not KFC again LOL. Luckily we went back to the same restaurant for dinner, which we ordered same vegetables, one tofu (fried tofu) again, one sliced fish meat and the xiao pan ji that we ordered in the morning.

After that, we went to the nearby supermarket to buy necessities. While we were shopping around, we saw three big water tanks where they sold the fishes. However, some fishes were already dead, so why did they still keep the fishes in the tanks? Maybe they still think that someone will buy, or they simply don't care -.-". No matter what, I would never buy the fishes in the supermarket.
