Laggage lagguage lagguage!

ONE LAST MDE PHOTO!!

Reflection:
It had been a fruitful trip for all. Some of us are missing the times in Wuhan. When we are in Wuhan we miss Singapore, when we are back in Singapore we miss Wuhan. So Howwww???? We've all learnt and improve. Spending the past 6 weeks together and zoooom it had passed so fast. As times goes by, we've know more about one another. Positive or negative it doesn't matter, no one is perfect. I'm going to miss everyone in this trip. Thanks for all the funny and special moments we had together. See all of you School when school reopens! Rest well... 21 guns and Mr Loh! =DDD

Day41- Last day of fun in wuhan

LAST DAY OF SHOPPING, last birthday celebration over in wuhan, laugage packing and weighing. i've pluck up the courage to weigh myself too.. 2 KG GAINED!!!

Oh my goodness. After that i realised my face became plummer!!! for the last 2 weeks in wuhan its either assignment or shopping. neglected exercise

packing!!!

We actually wanted to head out to have some fun with our fireworks, but too bad the school gate closes at 1030. We cant go out of school and playing fireworks is not allowed. so we decided to wait until 5am. but again its raining! so we waited until 6 plus, were the rain subsides but the sun is up! but never mind its the experience that mind.

Reflections:
For the past 40 days.. Wherever we go, the locals will tend to ask where are we from. When we said we are from Singapore they would be very surprise and ask us alot of question. Like Singapore is a developed country right? and why is our Chinese and English so good? They are not afraid to ask and are all friendly & welcoming. I'll miss the food stalls and shoppings in Wuhan.

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

Day 40- Farewell dinner

We went to the food street near the yellow crane again.

Miss The FOOD!

SEDAP!!

After all the shopping and food over there, we rushed back to school for the farewell dinner organised by the school.

With the local students

MDE last dinner together

1st and the last picture taken with our local friend

Reflections:

Its been a good experience here in Wuhan. We get to know more about another country and get to interact with some of the local students. Though 6 weeks to some might be long to some might be short. To me this holiday has been spent fruitfully is the most important.

Day 39- last BPE presentation in wuhan

A day of LASTs

Last day entering this school

Last BPE presentation

Last day in the class

Last day in school

Last day walking up and down the 135 steps stairs

Last day walking back to the hostel after class

.....

After so many last we are now left with the IS video which is to be presented on the 1st week of school reopen.

IS VIDEO discussion

Reflections:
Finally BPE assignments are over! No more waking up in worries. Worrying about being late for class, worrying about presentations and reports. However, 2 more weeks SCHOOL IS RESTARTING!!!!!!! In wuhan I've learnt to plan my time more appropriately. We have lesser time to work on our assignments which means also lesser time to have fun. We should always prioritize our work in order to plan ahead. When there are choices to make a decision is very important. I make my own decision and must be the one responsible for it. Hence, always think of the consequences very carefully before decisions are made.

Life is the sum of all your choices.

Day 35- Theme park and BuXingJie

we woke up at 7am to prepare and take the chartered bus to the theme park which is around 1 hour ride away from school and then a long walk from the drop off point.

we took the rollercoaster,vikings and one very boring 360deg ride. The tickets per rides are quite expansive. roller coaster cost about 5 dollar per ride and does is not really exciting. The 360deg ride is quite boring because of the slowww speed and the best ride in there will be the Vikings aka Pirate Ship!

WOOHOO.. it was nice but too short.

this ride is no fun. but nice for photos

this is still the best ride. my heart almost flew out

the mirror mirror place

I got stucked!

After which we took the MRT, 1 Stop to BuXing Jie

Nothing much to shop as the stuffs there are quite expansive. 200+RMB (SGD 40+) for a basic design long sleeve shirt. When it comes to our meeting time at 6pm, it is also the time where the night street starts to brighten up.

However we need to take a ship and cross the river to a food street.

After which our chartered bus came to pick us up back to our school.

Day33, 34, 36, 37, 38- "Information gathering"

1st Official Off day! We went out to 卓刀泉 for some shopping!!

While waiting for the bus, this water truck came and almost gave us a shower.


We went to a resturant for lunch near the Mouse Street

And they have all these on the table for us. If you need any help they are just a press away~


We tried on this while waiting for the food for 1 RMB . Turn the nobe on the top to your horoscope, insert a 1RMB coin and twist! A capsule will come out from the mouth.


Day34: assignment 2 report rushing day, to be handed up tomorrow.

Day36:went back to 卓刀泉 to take a look at the shops at mouse street again. Bought a few shirts and some accessories. Surprisingly some of the shop and road stalls owners still recgonise us.


Day37:assignment 3 day, flexsim stimulation & report.

Day38: presentation cancelled-Shopping @ chicony

Reflection: Shopping and assignments Shopping and assignments, I'm not sure whether is it for me or what. I just can't put my heart at ease to go shopping when there is assignment waiting for me to complete back in the hostel. I don't wish to rush through and hand up work without quality. Time planning is very important to everyone of us studying here in Wuhan. If not we will not be able to do our work and play at the same time. No matter in Wuhan or back in Singapore we should not only Play hard but WORK hard too!

Day32- Written Test 2 & Shopping

10am we had our 2nd which is also the last written test!

the whole school is almost empty, canteen mostly closed and all the students are either back home or out spending their holidays wisely. While we had to go to school for work.

After the test, we rested a while and then set off to The Grand Ocean Shopping Mall for our VANS shoes. I'm pretty lucky as the two pairs of VANS shoes I eyed on had my size!! We got them at 80RMB, thanks to our LSCT friends who introduced us there. As a few days before we went they bought around 6 pairs of shoes there, hence the Manager decide to sell them to us at a lower price.

Top left: Yoke May's , Top Right: my current VANSBottom two pairs: My New Collection of VANS!

After which we went to do something to our hair @ YES I DO

Before

After- A lighter colourdye then my previous colour.

Reflection:

Although it is rather hard to manage our time over here in Wuhan, we still try our best to complete everything on time. 先苦后甜- Direct trans: First bitter, then sweet. I remember when i was in primary school, one of my Chinese teacher taught us this. As we will always bargain with the teacher to push back tests dates due to our laziness, she will always motivate us with this phrase. It is to motivate us to study hard now and then when everything is over we can enjoy all we want. Whenever i'm thinking of slacking I'll remember this sentence which she reminded us again and again...

Day31- China's Birthday

People's Republic of China's 60th anniversary

PUBLIC HOLIDAY where all the WUST students go for a long holiday until Sunday while we have a day off from school. The next day which is Friday- BPE written test 2.

No pictures today as finally we have chance to wake up late in the afternoon, had Captains Ball Games and then Dinner! Thats all for today..

The game today is a Good exercise and most importantly we had fun together!

Written Test Tomorrow @ 10am!!!!

Since the 1st week up till now i've never stop eating corn. I became a corn maniac since i came over to Wuhan. There is like steamed, boiled and bbq-ed corn and also their local corn has a special chewy texture to it. YUMS

Reflection:

Sometimes i wish there is no assignment or test, but thats what we have to do. Though we can get to enjoy ourselves here, we still need to complete the tasks given to us. This is a test for us to complete everything within the limited amount of time. Complete everything asap and SHOP!

Day30- Assignment 2 Presentation

In the morning is our last IS lesson where we learn more about Taoism and Buddism. After which we went back to our hostel for our ppt slides preparation.

2pm.. start of assignment 2 presentation! this time we are not the first few but the last few. When its our turn to present suddenly i cant open the ppt file in my thumbdrive. Got a little panic and start finding solutions. Borrowed a thumbdrive from Shun Qing which apparently worked! YAY.

Our BPE project grp - RooM314/5

Presenting to you the Value analysis.

Reflection:

In the process of doing a project in a team, I realise communication and taking initiative is very important. If there is no one to take initiative, the task might take longer than needed to accomplish. When it comes to work and play, work of course comes in first. As there are alot of distrations when we are studying overseas, we need to help one another out by reminding ourselves the work that is there waiting for us to finish. There is one last assignment to be presented next friday. We will be taking a few days break before we start on very last BPE assignment of this trip. Grand ocean and Zuo1 dao1 quan2 (introduced by a local friend) for some shoppings!

Day 29- Interaction Night & Gloria's Birthday

Electricity Supply Cut off again in the morning! We're all rushing our BPE Assignment 2 powerpoint slides which we are suppose to present tomorrow.

So without electricity, our laptops cant work for long, we decide to head out for lunch.

After which we have lesson @ 2pm. We had our quiz asap as our laptop battery cant last too long. After the quiz Mr loh decide to let us go off ealier as we are studying in a dark room. As we are suppose to step out of the door, the electricity came back. What a nice timing. But we're still let off to go back and rush our ppt slides.

We did our quiz in the class with no lights

The bakery shop where we buy our MAGNUM icecream and CORNs!

In the evening around 8pm, we were all brought to the Club building for our Interaction Night. We had games and performance by Np students and the local students. It was an enjoyable night prepared by the local students

We went to this building where by there are many facilities like billard room and gym for an Interaction night with the local students

The food on each table. Love the nuts

At the place where we had the activies. Spot me with my corn!

the hosts of the night started choosing numbers to go on stage for some interesting games

Balloon Madness!

Water passing game

The team who failed the challenge will have to recite a Tongue Twister within 10secs

After which is a performance by ROY our MDE dancer!


Then our MDE singer! EDY!

MDE with WUST students -----------------------------------------------

29-09 is Gloria's Birthday, but we decide not to celebrate at 12am or in the afternoon. We decide to celebrate it at night, 2 hours before her Birthday passes. Again we had our "bonding session*" at the corridor again.

She thought we have all forgotten about her birthday. Until... 10pm

SURPRISE!

Birthday Girl

Super unglam photos. I guess I am really stress over the presentation next day. HAHAHAHAHA

=DD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLORIA!

Reflection:

It is actually very nice of the local students here in WUST to make the effort and plan such a fun night for all of us. Although it is not a perfect one but definetly it has brought much laughter to all the 80 of us studying in a foreign country. Theres a saying : "在家靠父母，出门靠朋友" When you go overseas, without family there will be friends whereby they can give us a helping hand when needed. Its better than when you are all alone where theres nobody there when you need help or a pair of listening ears.
