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.

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

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.
