day 42 good bye




Its last day, kind of sad actually that we are leaving this place, a place that we have stayed for 42days.
Last night we were busy packing our stuff, while doing that we played with nail polish brought by charlotte and yepp, got all our nails painted and I simply look like a gay.
Today morning we went to back ally the last time to buy our last breakfast here, sadly gui lin gao and Chinese burger was not operating yet. So instead we bought liang pi 凉皮, tang bao 烫包 and qian cheng bing, the lazy was shock to see my nail painted with colour when was paying for the food , we went back to our room to finish our food, clean up the rubbish we created it’s a mountain fill with rubbish, I think Singaporean are real talent in creating rubbish.
Finally we had one last look at our room before closing the door; we brought our luggage down to weigh to make sure that we don’t go over weight , we have two bus to bring us to airport we load our luggage in one of the bus, because another bus that is dedicated for passenger is filled, so we took the bus that is with our luggage along with journey, charlotte and yepp, we sang throughout the bus trip it was kind of fun.
When we reach airport we get those luggage down with the help of kid,guy and fire.
While waiting for our lane to be open for check in we too as much picture as possible, quite a no. cried as we all won’t get to see each other for quite sometimes, we went in to the gate and we were told that our flight Is delayed, if I know that this is going to happen I would stay longer outside the gate.
It was raining and I was wondering how the local student is going to go back to their campus, initially I thought the bus that brought us to the air port, is going to bring them back later that I know it is not bring them back and they have to make their own way out in the rain.
Due to our flight delay we didn’t get to eat at guang zhou airport, due to the time constrain we kind of rush our way to catch our plane back to Singapore.
On the plane to Singapore there was some kind of mix feeling, one is that I finally be able to see my family friends and Singapore food that I’ve missed for quite some time, but on the same time I would miss the student in china, the fun and laughter we had together , the freedom we had there, every night I get to go from 1 room to another to make noise and disturb others, all this are the different life that I don’t get in Singapore.
Lastly this was a amazing trip I get to see things that I don’t usually see the kind of life people are living, I get to meet amazing friends, all this are something more than being a tourist.
To everyone that have been there, everyone I get know there, everyone that make this happen, all of u are simply great.






day 41 shopping spree

Today we went to mouse street 老鼠街 mostly are girls stuff so didn’t buy anything, went to coma a shopping center which specially dedicated for warehouse sales and I bought a jeans there.
For lunch kidd brought us to a steamboat restaurant when I go in I smell those spice, and that make me think of my vomit so I lose my appetite on eating there, so instead I went to the Chinese fast food restaurant (华莱士)with hardy,yong qi and jasper, to eat my favorite roasted chicken again.
After lunch yet again we went to walking street again this time round, there isn’t anything for me to buy this time.
We took a cab to shopping mall I bought a sports shoe from 361, and then went for a short pool in the VIP room.
We rush back to WUST meet mr,chong for his dinner treat, there were quite a lot of dishes we can’t finish them.
We took a cab back to shopping mall, buy another converse shoe and local food stuff to bring back.

Went to walking street again after that to do more shopping, I bought some chop sticks back as gift to my relative.

We went back to our room to grab some rest as some of us didn’t even sleep because of this project , we went to shopping mall for pool, while waiting for those who are holding meeting to organize the farewell party, as they are bringing Alan’s pool table birthday cake, we booked a VIP room to celebrate, it was big and comfortable, after the celebration some of us went to sing K, while some stay for more pool until it close, than they would come and meet us.
While singing K clife and rendolf came into our room, they actually came to sing midnight K in the other room what a coincident, I also went into their room and sang a couple of songs.
We went to macdonal for breakfast after K, we head back to our room to catch a few hr of sleeps before shopping.

I’m feeling better today with the aid of medicine , we climbed mountain together ,visited tribal camp of the olden days when there is war going on.
We left lu lin after lunch and went to visit a cave in jin men, ultimately there is nothing very nice in the cave all is base on imagination when looking at stalagmite and stalactite, an ½ artificial cave.

day 33 birthday

We had tutorial lesson until 2 pm, then we took 502 to han zen jie for shopping, we didn’t find anything nice there, so we decided to go bu xing jie (步行街), and that mark the starts of our shopping spree.
Despite the freezing cold weather, I’m still able to shop and bought a total of 3 t shirts.
We had fried rice for dinner I tried curry seafood, wasabi, and xo fried rice, first the curry seafood fried rice is seriously lousy , it is filled with curry powder after I ate the rice there I can still feel the leftover of the powder on my tongue, secondly wasabi fried rice was not bad besides I have not taste wasabi for quite a long time, I can’t eat too much in one go if not the wasabi taste would just dash up to my nose, lastly the xo fried rice was great although there is not xo taste, but the best thing is that there is a taste of sambal sauce, sauce than I’ve not tasted for quite a long time since I came to china.
We went back to our dormitory by cab after shopping, it wasn’t as expensive as we thought it only cost us 29 rmb, at first I thought it would be like 40 rmb.
When 12 o clock arrive so do 4th of April and that’s my birthday =).
Everyone in lSCT, charlotte, yepp celebrate me and jasper birthday, the best thing is that we both share the same birthday.
Ian tried to smash the cake on my face luckily, for the 1st time my reflex became faster and I manage to dodge the cake, although I still end up with cakes on me.

day 32 common test is over

Common test is finally over , we had our last lecture and we went to shopping mall for some pool to relax our self , we had dinner at a restaurant things are quite expensive there, I ordered clay pot frog rice, was quite nice the meat was very tender , but it cost me 30rmb ultimately I think it’s not worth it, I would rather spent the money at some Chinese restaurant, where I can have more variety of food to eat.

day31 WUST new campus



1 day before exam , we visited WUST new campus in the morning, to their school of medical, they introduce us around, we saw them having practical lesson on how to save a patience, then we went to their show room to exhibit their real human preserve, there are all real organ from their human donor for medical use, as a first timer it was kind of scary , when u are looking at a face at the same time u are also looking at his brain.
After that we went to their conference room, in there we have our presentation to the local student , a cut short version of course.
We went to their canteen to have our lunch, because we came too late most of the food in level one is not available, what a pity because the local student told us that food in level one taste nicer, yup I agree although I have not tasted the food in level , but the food in level two really doesn’t taste nice.
After some photo taking we went back to our campus to continue our lesson, today was a tiring day but no choice we still have to study for our common test, so help us to buy dinner while we are busy mugging.

day 30 pizza hut

Tonight we went to pizza hut, their service is better than Singapore, there is 2 people standing at the front door open the door for us, greet us immediately, even when I was going to toilet there are also people saying welcome to pizza hut, the pizza wasn’t really nice not much taste as compared to Singapore , their bone less drum sticks with cheese stuffing also taste like normal meat in china and that meal cost me around 60rmb, other than their service with that price I can consider it not a very nice place to visit.

day 29 boring day

Nothing much happen today practically study in the day time, and prepare for our environmental project during the night.

day 28 nice resturant

Nothing much happen today, after mr chong lesson we venture out, and we found our self another restaurant to eat , glasses make up the exterior, it is an all room restaurant, we won’t be able to see any one smoking, in the room they have very nice presentation, 2 waitress permanently in the room to serve.
There isn’t much selection and no photos, because they are changing menu, the soup was including the veggie was fantastic. It cost us about 30+rmb is quite cheap if u would consider converting back to sgd.
