WEEK4: Day TWENTY-SEVEN (29th March)
Everybody woke up late today because there are no plans for us.
Thus leaving everybody to STUDY STUDY and more STUDY until evening time where some of us went to eat the fastfood restaurant located nearby our school.
Took a taxi to the shopping mall again where the guys played pool and we girls went to buy DVDs.
And tata!!! Went back at around 11pm and went to the back alley to collect a birthday cake to celebrate a friend's birthday via webcam =pPp
Too bad, he's not in china but we are good-hearted people, we celebrate via webcam but the cake we eat lah =DDDDDDD
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHENG SIONG!!!
*p.s: Not an eventful day today except for the birthday part*

WEEK4: Day TWENTY-SIX (28th March)
It's a raining today that made the weather so damn cold.
Initially we were told to go to the Yangtze riverside for a walk, but then the wind and the rain is so strong that we had to postpone to a later time.
We then went shopping at Han Kou.
Saw quite a few clothes that I wanted to buy but was lazy to take off my clothes because of the coldness. BUT fret not! We will be coming again during the last week when the weather is better with the sun and also not that cold =)
But the guys seems to be having so much fun shopping due to the cold weather and they bought some clothes!!!!!
We finally get to eat LAO PO BING at some random cake shop !!!!!!!!!
Somehow we got separated with the guys and ended up waiting for them near the Riverside being blown by the wind.
While waiting, Mr Chong was kind-hearted enough to buy us hot potato to share due to the cold weather.
THANKS MR CHONG!!!!!
Mr Chong is so cute lah!
Kept showing his chopsticks and doremon stuffs to everybody =)
But many of us wanted to buy chopsticks when we go back there again =)
When everybody arrived, we then went to the riverside for a walk.
At around 3pm, we were then brought back to our dormitory to rest for the day...
IMPORTANT LESSON LEARNT:
REALLY MUST WEAR MORE CLOTHES DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER.

WEEK 4: Day TWENTY-FIVE (27th March)
NO lessons today =)
But still had to wake up early to go for a trip to the optic fiber factory.
This optic fiber is used in wires which is a better quality than the normal cheap copper wire.
Upon reaching there, we were then welcome by the person in charge if the company and he explained to us about the process of making the optic fibers.
After which, LSCT headed to a street market nearby the main Wuhan University for lunch. AND AND! This time round the soya bean we drank is drinkable!!!!!!! The reason is because the soya bean we drank taste like cigarette smell due to the old traditional method they used to make it but today the ones we drank have the Singapore taste!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!
FINALLY!!!!!
We then headed to the university to look at the Cherry Blossoms.
Got a discount instead, pay 8.80RMB instead of 10RMB because due to our large numbers as well as the trees are blading soon.
Due to the falling season of the Cherry Blossoms, many flowers had already drop on the ground but it falls so damn beautifully while the wind rustle.
It's good to see Cherry Blossoms just once in your life rather than seeing pictures on the internet.
After staying such a long time at the university, we all then headed to the SHOPPING MALL again at around 5pm. Some went for KTV, some went for a game of pool, and the rest (Ian, Jerald, Liying and me) went for shopping. We had economic rice for dinner.
This economic rice is different from Singapore's one. Over here, we are supposed to pick dish that we wanted by ourselves and they charged us by the weight of our dishes. While in Singapore, the price is fixed due to the number of meat or vegetables we ordered. Somehow, this weighing method is quite a good idea because if you take alot of meat, you may pay lesser over here rather than pay alot for just a few pieces of meat in Singapore.
Oh I finally bought something for myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (usually i buy things for my family members) Anyway it's just a hairband lah >.<
And Li Ying also finally bought something for herself too!!!!! Which is a rubberband >.<
After that, we went for manicure!
Ian and Jerald had to wait for us though, WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
It's 100 over RMB which is like cheaper than doing manicure in Singapore.
Actually it's due to out BLING BLING that makes it so expensive =)
Well, it's my first manicure done by other people afterall and from what i've observed from the way they do our nails, it's simple and easy so it's like I am also learning on how to improve on my own D.I.Y nails the next time I do.
Definitely, I like their great service which is that they are super nice and they gave a fast service due to the time constraint we had.
We then met up with the rest at 7pm and then went to WALL MART which is their supermarket and bought some items back to our dormitory.
Oh, supposedly should study but I guess it's too late now.
*YAWNS*
Got another one day outing tomorrow.
GOODNIGHTS!!!

WEEK4: Day TWENTY-FOUR(26th March)
Almost everybody was tensed up today before the presentation.
Had lessons in the morning as well as after lunch.
At 3pm, We then head to WEST 5(3) to get ready for our presentation before the students, lecturers and deans come at 4pm. We then thought of a song to sing after our presentation together with the MDE students and just then we all suddenly thought of singing the song "SINGAPORE TOWN".
HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!
I remembered singing this song during my secondary school days with one of my good friend during class.
My group was the first to present and suddenly my hands were filled with cold sweat. I wasn't sure if I could present well because I'm known to say those ja-pa-lang things which are not supposed to be said during a presentation as well as my stammering.
Thus, after my presentation on Singapore's places of interest, I heaved a sight of relieve. It's OVER.
I did stammer abit, I don't know how bad I did but I knew that there were some things unsaid during the presentation which i thought of saying before it.
And there were some words I pronounced wrongly, like the word "BEACHES" and my friends said they heard "BITCHES".
During the presentation, there were sudden flashes of light that made me like go: "LOL" (laugh out loud). The reason is because nobody took pictures of me from all my life until now when I'm presenting and now many students and teachers with super expensive cameras kept taking photos of us. This made me more pressurized. I've got to really go improve on my speaking. Until now I still think I haven't improved by abit.
The rest of the LSCT students were great. As well as the MDE's presentations.
MDE then sang the song "Ra Sa Sa Yang" and followed by our "SINGAPORE TOWN" to liven up the whole atmosphere =)
Thus ended off smoothly with a bow =)
I hope the China students would look even more forward in coming to Singapore soon =)
Had dinner at the restaurant we went 2 days ago and it wasn't a pleasant one for me. But cheap cheap 12 RMB.
Nahs, not going to study today shall start tomorrow =pPp

WEEK4: Day TWENTY-THREE (25th March)
OH!!!!!
Mr Chong showed us the next half of Red Cliff 1 as well as the full of Red Cliff 2.
It's a nice show =)
Zhu-ge liang may be knowledgeable in many things, but he's always seems to be missing when the war between both sides started. @.@
But one thing about this show that disturbed me is that the bloodshed in this movie IS SO FAKE!!!!!!!! Looks like some tomato sauce that is mixed with water and with just one cut, this FAKE blood is like gushing out from nowhere funnily. And the thing is, when the soldiers are injuried by the arrow or spear, they would just drop dead and die BUT! the main characters of the show did not even die when they are injuried by the weapons. FUNNY RIGHT?
But still is nice lah =)
After the show, I've decided to go back to my dormitory and refused to go out for dinner because the weather is cold and I've yet to finish my slides for tomorrow. Another reason is because they wanted to go to the restaurant to eat but I just don't like eating at resturants lah. Save money better. So the rest left for dinner accept jeremy who also want to save money. He then went down to the back alley with alan and Jonathan to da bao some food while I stayed in the room eating instant noodles. The 3 guys then brought some food back and we had a small party =) until i totally forgot that I've yet to finish my slides T.T
Ok lah, finally I've finish everything and tomorrow will be a nervous day for me as I have to present with my group mates about Places in Singapore to a Lecture Hall full of people? OMG. Die already sia me.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

WEEK 4: Day TWENTY-TWO (24th March)
As usual, we had lessons in the afternoon at 1pm. So we bought our lunch at the back alley and munch on them on our way back to class.
After lessons, Mr Chong showed us the movie Red Cliff 1.
I've never watched this movie before and always thought that this movie is boring because i absolutely don't even know what's all about it. But after I had history lesson with Xiao Ling, I suddenly felt more eager to watch this show. Of cuz, without the English subtitles, I think I still catch no ball because their chinese too cheam already @.@
So far we had watched half of it already, and so by tomorrow we will continue the next half and I'm so looking forward to it =)
After lessons, we went to THE SHOPPING MALL via bus and ate KFC there.
Compared to Singapore's KFC, Singapore's one is nicer.
China KFC's chicken is SO DAMN SMALL!!!!!
And their chicken taste like the after taste of a cooked chicken that was put into the water. YUCKS!!!
Their mashed potato is like really potato and taste very weird.
Singapore's chicken may be small too, but at least it does not have that after taste of cooked chicken that was put into water?!
Although Singapore's mashed potato is not made from real potato, it doesn't taste weird and it's still flickin' licking good!
I'm never gonna eat China's KFC again.
We then headed inside the mall for a walk and on our way up the escalator, we saw this father carrying his small kid right infront of a dustbin and guess what the kid was doing?
HE'S TRYING TO SHIT IN THE DUSTBIN!!!!
!@#$%^&*
OMG.
In a sort of high class mall?
I don't think this mall is lack of toilets right?
And where's the sense of responsibility of this father?
In the middle of nowhere suddenly there's this guy trying to let his child shit inside a dustbin where everybody is like walking past.
I do not know what's the government of China is doing lah but I am pretty sure if anybody does that in Singapore, they will have a penalty and definitely get kicked out of the mall.
Not to even say this, I GUESS nobody in Singapore does that. Unless some alien really trying to attract the attention of passerbys and get fined and appear in the newspapers and become famous overnight.
After seeing this disgusting act, we headed to Watsons to buy some stuff before heading to the other shops for window shopping. And thus ended our day with going back to the back alley behind school for Gui Ling Gao again and back to our comfy dormitories =)
Got to finish up my powerpoint slides already.
ZOOMZ..
CIAOS!!!!

WEEK 4: Day TWENTYONE ( 23rd March)
We had lessons with Mr Chong today at 1pm =) So we can sleep longer due to the trip to Wudang Shang 2 days back. And to our amazement, our legs were not pain at all!!!!!( Although my legs were kind of cramped during the bus journey back school that time)
We had lunch at the halal canteen and quickly headed for our lessons because the weather suddenly turned cold and it was raining =(
After lessons, we headed to a nearby restaurant for dinner and to our surprised, we were given the V.I.P room!!!! AND THERE's NO EXTRA CHARGES!!!!!
This V.I.P room includes a private toilet, television(damn big), sofa, and a big table enough to squeeze in 17 people.
But the food was just alright lah, it's acceptable and the dishes were not that oily as we usually eat.
I still prefer the back alley food.
Not only that it's nice, appealing and filling, it's cheap too(Less than 10RMB can eat alot already)
Not like this meal where we had to pay 22RMB and i ate only a little.
But true to say, we only pay like around $5 SDG and we won't get to eat such a cheap lavish meal in Singapore.
With a private V.I.P room in Singapore's restaurant, the charges here and there could make you vomit blood more than you could afford it.
After dinner we headed to the supermarket and bought some stuff before we head back to our warm and cosy dormitories =)
I shall say today's not an eventful day for us, just a usual normal day with lessons and just out for our meals.
GOODNIGHTS =)
