day 42.
Finally, we are going back to Singapore. I have endured 42 days independently oversea.
For this OIP, i have improve quite a number of things. Learning about the history, culture. This information still save inside the memory of my brain. Getting to know more about friends, improving the bond between friends. I also get to made new friends in CHina.
Being in foreign places, learning to adapt to the environment, being prepared for what is coming.
At first, was kind of missing Singapore. But the day we were going back, the feeling was i am missing Wuhan. When we are at the place, we don't tend to miss it as we are having it. But losing it, will cause the miss in it.

In Singapore, we ain't allow to play fireworks due to safety concerns. So, we must enjoy when we are able to fire it too. This is also the first time looking at the fireworks at such a close range.
day 40
Today was nothing special, just stay in the room for quite a long time.
So basically, i went up to Mr. Chua's empty room together with XIn Rong and Jia He as he was not using the room.
Instead of doing our work, the three of us opened a LAN Room there. 3 of us were playing computer games together.
Night fall, went to the 4th floor to had poker games.

Day 39
Today was the last day to shop if you want to do so. 10 of us went to Si Men Kou, located near yellow crane tower, splitted into two groups. 1 group took the taxi while another took a mini van. The taxi group reach first and started shopping at the ATM shop. As we shop, the time got longer and longer, wondering why the other groups took so long.
Thus, when they reach. They had a story to tell. The mini van group got into an incident. The mini van was scratch by another vehicle. The driver of it wasn't very happy but angry. So he took out a wrench and hit the owner of the vehicle at the arm. Isn't it good that they did not got into trouble?
China people are scary huh. Just scratch on the vehicle and they use weapon. Why can't they just pay for the repair fees for each other? Isn't there another solution for it? Using violet can't solve anything will it?
Since it's the last day that we are able to have steak, xin rong, jia he, ernest and i decided to have our cheap steak.
All of us wanting to head back to school in A taxi as we did not know how to get back to our shcool with Bus. The rain was quite heavy and we were outside by the roadside for a long time. Hailing for taxi but to no avail. Most of the taxi with a sign on the windscreen saying their destination to HanKou. Luckily, we still managed to get on the Taxi. The driver was quite young. And this is the first time i saw a young driver. He was about the age of 25 i guess. He was rushing for time most probably. He was speeding and turning fast, cutting lanes, overtaking cars and the most dangerous case, driving at the opposite lanes. The weather was raining, the road were wet, brakes does not work effectively too.
Due to the weather, the fireworks sessions was cancel and postpone to the next day. So for dinner, we joined Mr. Ma as he was alone.

Day 38
Today, Group 2 together with nicki took a van to Hankou. Today bought quite a number of items.
We had dinner at Pizzahut ( 必胜客 ）. The pricing there was less than Singapore's by a little. To my surprise, Pizzahut items are more expensive than those steak we had all eaten. Isn't steak suppose to be more expensive? It seems that Pizzahut is more high class in China than those steak resturant.
One incident happen in Pizzahut. The waitress at first wanted to take our order, but, she thought that we couldn't speak Chinese as we are speaking in English with each other. Therefore, she went to ask for her colleague's help who know English. After a while, we change our language to Chinese. As speaking to her in English is kind of weird. But, her speaking of English was quite fluent.
After telling her where were we from, as she prompt us this question, she told us that she had a friend who is also studying in Singapore at Republic Poly. She question about those rates in Singapore. She wondered $600 Sing dollar is it possible to survive there for 1 week including air ticket.
Two incidents which the topic was almost the same happened.
The thing was we did not know what happen, we just saw a taxi driver came out of his vehicle and a motorcyclist quarreling. The taxi driver was walking out fiercely toward him. In the end the taxi driver was in the fault, he quieten down and entered his vehicle. Then an injured man with a bandage left arm enter his vehicle. Weird isn't it? if it was me, i wouldn't enter the vehicle of a guy i don't know after he had been in a quarrel. 1 weird thing was, along the whole stretch of street, there was around 10 or lesser police cars. But there was no police around. Where are they? Are they slacking around? The problem is i think of was, why did they have so many police car there?
Secondly was between a group of businessmen. They were standing right at the center of the path, quarreling. They were yelling quite loudly. We did not stay to watch the incident.
Likely all the person we met was friendly enough. China people have attitude problems or even hot-tempered.

day 37
From today onwards, it will be free and easy. So today our group went to this IT world in Wuhan. A place full of IT stuffs. At first wanted to buy the ipod nano that mr chua bought, however, we cant find it. So in the end, we did not bought.
Somewhere near there, there is a building which is kind of high class. All the stuff was branded inside. Therefore the price was also very nice.
China people are very persistence in doing things. They will keep bugging you till you say yes. When we enter the IT mall, lots and lots of people keep asking us to sit down and listen to their products. Even though we denied or ignore, they keep following us. Another case was, on the street, there was this auntie giving cards. First time we walked pass, she keep pestering dave to take the card. So dave finally took it, then he carry on walking. After 2 steps, she just say if you dun want to buy, give me the card back. So second time we walk pass, the target now was me. she keep pestering me for like 30meters. While pestering, she kept dragging my arm till i am fustrated and swing my arm away. Luckily, Singaporeans ain't like China people.

day 36
Today was the last day to go back to the classroom for studies. I had my APPG mini project interview at 1030am. Basically, Mr.Ma just see how our program work, what did we use for the programs, how to use the codes.
So after that, went to guang gu to rebond my hair together with jit siong, chewy and xin rong. We took a bus there and overshot by 1 bus stop. In China, 1 bus stop to another is kind of far. And we walk back.
When we entered the place, the hairdressers and stylists kept asking us whether if we have the VIP member card. Every single one that attend to me ask me that. Does that mean having a member card will have different treatment? Having a member card will have a better treatment uh? the member card was actually just for the 10% discount from what i know and borrow from jeremy as he borrow from China friend. Why must we tell them we had this member card or not? i don't get it.

day 35.
Counting down to 7 days left to be back to Singapore. Today whole day was basically so called OBS in Singapore. All outdoor activities.
So this morning, was to meet up at 8am. For that period in the morning, what we did was some sort of team building game or rather a little of ice breaking game. Those game were squirrel and trees, guy and girl represent different team and after that we must group ourselves.
All this game doesn't suit us luh. This game suit more for secondary 1 when they come in for orientation camp. i don't understand a need for this game, unless they are waiting for another group to come. But they could have another better idea.
After the next group came, we were group into 4 groups. We were given 40 mins and newspaper. So we were suppose to make use of the newspaper to make ourselves into this Tank tire. This team building game is quite challenging. With no other materials, just pure newspaper, we must connect them to make a Wheel of a Tank. With this done, while the whole group members enter into the "Wheel". We were supposed to travel from one place to another. So, we have to co-ordinate making sure the newspaper does not tear too.
For the afternoon session, was such more fun. First was the thrust fall. In order to have more challenge and trust from the team, the instructor tie both hands and legs together. The actual meaning was not to let you open your arm and leg to prevent you from hitting others.
Secondly was the broken bridge, for that isn't much of a challenge as we are able to hold the safety line which is attact to us while we jump over. For me, adding more challenge to it, i didn't hold it.
Lastly it was the rock climbing. Wasn't able to reach the top but nearly, 3 more square. my hand isn't long enough! the peddles were getting farther apart.
In china, 26 years old can already become a University Lecturer. Their pay was around 3000+ RMB. To us, Singaporean, it's kind of little. But to them, it's quite a lot. Their standard of living is lower here, compare to us. The safety equipments here is almost the same as Singapore.
The certificate of those rope courses took up 3 to 4 years then you are qualitfied. And this cause about, 5000 - 6000 RMB. Over that 3 - 4 years, the course is considered cheap.

day 34
Today lesson was only half a day. Anyway today was revision day for APPG. Mr. Chua went through Chapter 1 - 7 summary. Summarizing all the important points of all chapter. After that, Mr. Chua went through the practice theory test paper.
For dinner, went to the same old usual place to eat. This time, we had free 11 dumplings. the dumplings they gave got more and more.
In china, Qin Ming Jie is also a public holiday. Today, the school was really deserted. Canteen, quite a number of stall also didn't open. However, those that open. It seems like they were stuck with jobs. Everyday they keep doing the same routine as though there was no holiday for them. Today, there was no lesson for everyone except us. The whole building of Foreign language is empty and the front gate was even lock. In china, they really respect their ancestors, therefore having Qin Ming Jie as a public holiday? This is probably the answer.

day 33
Today was another day of free and easy. Due to yesterday had such a long day, had a very good sleeping night, and long time to hide in the blanket. Woke up at 10am.
Actually today was suppose to be the day for me to complete my studies on Chapter 7, my part on the group essay assignment, and assignment 4. But there was so much to do. Today, had only done 50% of my group report essay, and that's all.
Went to play basketball together with jeremy and my group. Play with some China guys too. When China people play, they are kind of fierce.
During night time, went out for dinner. As usual, went over to the opposite school to eat. We had special treat today, having an extra tangyuan again. After that, i help mr. chua buy, again extra tangyuan and extra dumpling. They must really like us. I heard the aunt who sell say, she already know us, and told others that we are singaporean. China people are warm-hearted uh. So welcoming us.
saw this chocolate, appear in Xin Rong's chocolate. The barcode is in the chocolate itself. Is it safe to consume it? why the hell did they put in the chocolate, why not the box? When i see this, i think of a show. What did you think of? To me, is like charlie and the chocolate factory. And the barcode is some sort like the golden ticket. So meaning, xin rong won something.

10 more days back to singapore. Time is get nearer to fly back to singapore. Lesser time for us to get our tasks ready. Now, we doesn't have the much time for us to slack around unless we have completed our work. Even though today is free and easy, never touch on anything. So tomorrow free & easy will complete it.
today went out to han kou with my group, jeremy, peng ho, wen qian and wen si. The two of them just accompany us shopping throughout the whole day. Firstly, we went to mac to have our lunch. After eating, we went around to shop.
Till around evening, we went to this night market or nearby. The place was alike in hong kong. The place lighting was kind of nice. It quite like night city to me. Went in to the building which is call the ATM. Bought 2 jeans, 1 bermudas and 3 pairs of shoe.
We are in this toilet, when i was about to go in, chewy came out and say there was a "dead snake "inside. Which i thought was real. After that, i found out was just a long long piece of shit. The shit was serious long. This is the first time i see such a long one. wondering how china people make it.
Went to eat steak again for dinner. This is the second time our group ate. But, this time with the same pricing from last time we could have a better food. The place look much more high class. 39 RMB settle with a steak meal, which consists of the main course, soup, bread, and red wine. How cheap can it be? This meal is certainly filling.
after our dinner which is like 1030pm already. So we cabbed back to school which took us about 1h, reach sch at 11.30 pm.
China food is cheap, even in a set meal with 39 RMB, you could already get 1 glass of red wine to drink. Does China people also learn history when they are small? The taxi drivers from what we know as we took their cab. All of them know the history of places. If you grab anyone in Singapore, i might not sure if they know singapore history. And something i learn from the taxi driver. the Wu Chang Chang Jiang Da Qiao was build 52 years ago, in the year 1957.

today, there is only one lesson in the morning. The lesson was about APPG revision. First, Mr. Ma go through the test paper question. At first, i find it similar, didn't notice that it was our test paper till xin rong reminded me. After which, we all got back our test papers. anw i am satisfy with my results. I think i am quite good from chapter 1 - 4, but average on chapter 5 & 6, and seriously weak in chapter 7. There will be a few free days on sat, sun and monday. So sun will be my study day.
In the late afternoon around 3, went to Q pai han bao to tried out the spaghetti there. They shouldn't put the word spaghetti if they ain't selling. Marcoroni was replaced for it. The food isn't quite cook at all. This is my first and last time eating spaghetti here. I wonder why everytime the food there always took such a long time to serve? Such a long time and the macroni still isn't cook. It's still hard luh, with so much oil in it. And! do i seem like a toddler or so? why did their ustensils look like those toddler who just starting to learn how to eat their own, or parents feeding them de.
After which, went to the supermarket to buy some snacks back to the hostel to munch. Followed by Ping pong at the clubhouse. We implement this rule at the back when we playing double. whoever lose by 20 points first do push-up. In one way, we are having fun. another way is exercise.
Bought a cake for 10 yuan, but it's full of cream.
Cheap cake might mean low quatity of main ingredients. So next time, should have bought a more expensive one. It's the first time i saw a green cherry, the taste of it is similar to the one in red.

Today whole day having IS. Morning IS was continuation of yesterday powerpoint. However, today was on the topic on Taoism and Buddhism. This is some sort of religion presentation to us.
During the afternoon lesson, we swap classes. It's the classroom that most student in WUST use. The one with headphones. During the lesson , we are supposed to put on the headphones to listen to the lecturer as he speak through the mic.
I think the afternoon lecture is much more interesting than the rest of the lectures we had taken. Firstly, even though the slides are a bit wordy, the presentation was kind of interesting. Feng Shui isn't just about the arrangement of thing which bring you luck. It even goes to the health of body all of those. Till now, i only know this through the presentation.
Went to play table tennis again. During that time, some kids were playing too. they were like around the age of 7 or less. They started playing at so young age, i wonder when they grow up. How good will they be?
After table tennis, went to play chess with a China lecturer? i guess. Lost a game to him, but not so badly, but with 3 hints from him. Is all China people so good in Chinese chess? even though it's their tradition to play as it is invented in their country. But i guess there are some others which can win China people isn't? i think Chinese Chess is more of playing and get the experience and know the unique moves of those play. Chinese Chess also require a lot of thinking, and need to think a few moves ahead. The need to understand of the opponent thinking when he/ she move the chess piece is important too, if not the game will be theirs.

day 29
+++++
13 more days back to Singapore. Whenever there is a IS lesson, the lesson always start at 8am. So today had a IS on the powerpoint, Chinese Tradition thoughts.
Today our lecturer was the dean, if i am not wrong. At least this time the lecturer was much better than the previous. His English is much more clear. Today learnt about the past few dynasties and some sort of religious for China.
we Lunched at canteen 1, after that went back to hostel. After we were back a while, there were 2 person who come to change our bedsheets all these.
Afternoon lesson spend 2h to do summary, only manage to do 17 slides. that's pretty long isn't it?
After lesson, went to play table tennis with jia he. Just the 2 of us, and we spend 2hours in there playing. Time really flies when we were playing.
Went for dinner after playing just outside the school. We went to buy tang yuan again. This time from a different stall. This stall were mend by 2 person. a mother and a daughter. They were very cartoon about their commotion. Like the saying goes, like mother like daughter, also they look quite alike.
i have been thinking about the title of the powerpoint slides. Shouldn't the name be like History of China or so? why traditional thoughts? i don't really see thoughts in it, just like dy nasty of the past. More and more work due date are almost up, meaning we have more things to do. Final test is coming too. Have to work harder for Chapter 7.
