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.

Day 23 - Thursday

Day went on as usual, IS in the morning, fried egg rice for lunch (it wasn't delicious at all please! LOL), then APPG in the afternoon. I was slacking all the way in APPG lesson, playing dynasty warrior somemore. -.-" There will be a theory test tomorrow, I sincerely pray that I can pass. :D

After lesson, we went to KFC for dinner, I know, SAME OLD PLACE AGAIN. I think only KFC have the food that we like. :D

random picture that I found

热干面.

I bought it in canteen 1 few weeks back. The noodle looked very simple, noodle with added sauce and sliced long bean , but yet it had an unique taste. Till now, I still remember the taste clearly. WUHAN's must try food :D

Day 22 - Wednesday

The day went by as usual; APPG in the morning, went for lunch at KFC (ate a burger meal, two sets of grilled wing and one set of fried wing which cost me around 50 yuan in total. -.-") then APPG in the afternoon.

After the afternoon lesson, we went to Lu Xiang Guang Zhang as kang liang and arvind wanted to withdraw cash. We went to many ATM machines, but none of it had provide the exchange rates information. So in the end, we shopped around at Lu Xiang Guang Zhang. I bought one pouch for my sister, in case she complained I never buy anything for her when I was in China. :D

the pouch looked like this :


I bought the pouch for 20 yuan, it was a leather pouch but I felt that it was a little too expensive.

After that, we went for dinner at japanese restaurant in the plaza. We ordered around 18 plates of sushi, one fried rice and 3 sake. I was curious about sake, so I decided to order and try it. The alcohol percentage was not as high as I expected but the taste was not that good too. I tried only 3 cups of it.

picture of the vouchers given after our meal...

After the meal, we went to the arcade and played one game, which was about pressing the button at the right time to allow the ball to drop in the score that we want. The first time, I played alone and got around 400 tickets (the number of the tickets was equal to the score that I got).


After that when everyone joined in, we played until we had 1000 plus tickets. But an unpleasant experience happened, so we did not managed to exchange the tickets for any stuff :(. After that, we went back to dormitory.
