Day Thirty-seven - 30 Sept 08

It's the end of September and a jolly day for Amirah and Fiza since today is the last day for their fasting!
HAPPY HARI RAYA PAUSA to both of them and all the malays back in S'pore.

:D

They were so kind enough to treat us a feast, food that were bought from the Muslim stores.

Sam with the both of them!Went straight to 建设7 路 to shop around as usual.
And we bumped into Yu ting and Willis.

:DThis uncle selling his pancake which was yummy!
And he was kind enough to allow me to take a picture of him!
:D

And previous post I talked about how pissed am I when I saw that they are selling dog meat?
Yes, this is the shop and am so disgusted by it.

What worse is when I passed by this shop, they have 煎烧小鸟.
And you know why I'm really pissed by this.

Burning midnight oil today for the videos.
CIAO.

Day Thirty-five/thirty-six - 28/29 Sept 08

28 Sept 08
Woke up late and thus the 5 of us (Yu Ting, Wei Ling, Steffi, Karen and I) took the bus to the 汉正街 which we were squeeze like sardine fishes and Wuhan people can really S-Q-E-E-Z-E.

Finally after 1+ hours we reached 汉正街 as we've waited for the bus for more than 45mins.Nothing much over there unless you want to buy things in bulk as that is the so-called "wholesales".
And Weiling and I finally tried their melon at the roadside! Taste sweet, thumbs up.

Since there wasn't much things to buy, the 5 of us walked to 步行街 which was just two stops away from 汉正街.
But we spent more than 2 hours to walk there as in the middle there were so much things for us that we stop and go, stop and go.
Steffi and Karen with the socks.

Shopping can really help us to lose weight since we walked till it's dinner time and we settled in Macs as we are really hungry.
Yes, continued to shopped and walked and this time with Julian while the church peeps went back first since they woke up early in the morning.

Every shopping centres they have this, which is to prevent snow from going inside the mall. The weather is freezing!

步行街's adidas with Weiling!

See what Julian spot.
I thought no one carrys this way now. But it's no kick for this uncle! :D

This is the real night market of 步行街. Their stuff are real cheap.

But mishap happened. After 2 times false alarm of losing the wallet, Weiling lost her wallet in this night market. Was pickpocket by some random people we believe while we are choosing the watches.
Felt kinda guilty as I was right beside her yet I did not watch-out for her.
*Weiling! 小XXX love you! CHEER UP!
:D

29 Sept.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADELENE!
:D

As previous, at midnight 12+ we knocked on her room door and surprise her!
May she enjoys it!
:D

Small cake bought by the both of them just to smash her with it.

And the 10 of us shared the soft cow she's holding for her 18th birthday!

And here's the crazy Benji and Amirah.
:D

5. We must ourselves defend Singapore.
We are proud to defend Singapore ourselves, no one else is responsible for our security and well-being.
We are proud of being born to be a Singaporean, nevertheless we should be in-charge for our own safety and stuff.
Back in Singapore, we have our family and close friends to take great care of us, prevent us from getting any mishap. But right here for exactly 6 weeks, without our beloved parents, our dearest siblings, our close ones, we have no one but ourself.
Precisely we have to take care of ourselves, restrict ourselves from doing illegal things, to protect ourselves and belongings, whereas there's always voices back in S'pore to love and care for us.
Indeed, I'm real proud to be a Singaporean.
:D

Day Thirty-four - 27 Sept 08

Yes, I did woke up 6am today just to boil the hotdogs and hams that needed for our pinic!
Quick prepare and off we set off to the Botanic Garden of Wuhan. (Wuhan Botanical Garden Chinese Academy of Sciences)Yeap, wasn't a huge fan of flowers (they doesn't have lavender). But did took pictures of the catus and some beautiful flowers in the garden. (:

It's a big ball shape of catus!

Sam and karen with the flowers indoor.

Initially was excited to visit the kiwifruit garden but all we could see is kiwis yet cannot reached it.

Loads of kiwis there. US! 3 of them bought the hitting air sticks for RMB5. :D

Saw all of us wearing our jackets or long sleeves? That because the weather is freezing cooling. Heard that it was 20 degrees today.
And we wouldn't experience it back in S'pore. I will miss this kind of weather and it's 9 more days!
People staring at us wherever we go as we are only the minorities who wore short pants out.
Hee, and I overheard a guy telling his friend: "we(they themselves) are the one who's afraid of cold."

Nothing much inside the Botanic Garden. Took a picture with our Mr Puah whose porridge is superb! :D

Next stop we headed to the Moshan Hill. That's the CHU dynasty and more good pictures ahead!

Heading to the shopping spree.

And seriously, look what Teck Yi and I saw?
From far I thought is those local people dressing up like the dynasty people and walk around.
However, it was Benji and Fiza. Just RMB10 and they are able to try out the clothes.
And from them...

To them...

And all of them!Cool isn't it?
:D
Those people who didn't changed (like me), so what did we do?
.
.
.
.
We become their photographer, their nanny!
*Behind us they look like some kind of chinese opera performance huh!

Look what's the cute boy doing with the "boy"? :D

Went around to explore the place.

And... guess what? The most best part.
Pinic time!
This is the hotdogs and hams I've boiled, together with the raisin bread since plain bread was out of stock when we wanted to buy last night.Half of the peeps!It was nice chilling with them and playing sorts of primary school games there for more than a hour since we didn't want to went up the highest 楼 while another half of the peeps continued their journey exploring.

A duper sleepy day and yes! Last week for slacking, shopping and cherishing...

CIAO!

Day Thirty-three - 26 Sept 08

Counting down from 10 more days, and shall say goodbye to Wuhan.

Yeap, finally had our IS presentation which I think all of us have done well.

Present to you my group mates!
Clar, Teck Yi and Julian
:D

*Thanks to both of the guys for suiting us whatever we request from them.

(:

And the girls us. Wore smart causal for our presentation.

That's Benji! Whom I've went to Vietnam last year with on this day.
:D

In the LT room and taking pictures with Clar and Amirah!

After the presentations which lasted for about 5 hours and off we headed to Walmart for our pinic at their Botanic Garden tomorrow!
Haha, that's Karen and me!

And they sell such a big teddy for RMB88.
And guess what? sweetest Karen Shui bought one for me for my way long belated birthday.
I love you Karen!
:D

Headed to the KFC for short snacks and that's Bob first joining us!
*Bob is my new teddy! why Bob? hee, that's our joke between us. :D

Took a cab back to hostel quickly in order not to late for our dinner treated by Mr Puah for celebrating all the September babies.
Took a number of cabs after coming here, and found that the driver don't really want to collect coins for your fare.
For instance, one time we took for RMB10.10. He declined keeping the 10cents as he said it's useless.
And in the afternoon, we took a cab for RMB12.20. But end up the driver asked for RMB13.
So well, they either round up or down. Wondering, back in S'pore, it is usually us, passengers decline for the change...

Some of us. While waiting for enough table for the 11 of us while the other half start eating first.

And finally our own small room for our delicious dinner treated by Mr Puah.
Love Mr Puah and it's an enjoyable moment eating together with the 10 of them! :D

Lastly, HAPPY 18TH to SHIUAN! Hope you have a good one and love the flowers shared by the 5 of us!
Not forgetting my bestie in S'pore Miss Gan Yun Hua!
It's been the 2nd year since I didn't celebrate with her on her b'day. Love her and hope she have had her wonderful day! :D

Heading to my stitching and bed now since I promised to woke up early tomorrow for boiling our hotdogs and hams for our pinic.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

CIAO!

Day Thirty-two - 25 Sept 08

Our last day of IS lesson with Xiao Ling Lao Shi today.

She will always be remembered as the teacher who has more than 100 slides for every lessons.
A good teacher I must say because everytime during in the middle of the class, she will ask us if it's boring and stuff like this.

Felt guilty all of a sudden since I did slept in class sometimes, and when I turn my head back, I could only sees people's head lying on the table, sleeping soundly...

Team D with Xiao Ling Lao Shi and hope that her days will be as beautiful.

(: And MDE with her!
I love our smiles in this picture. :D

LAVENDER.
Thanks to the florist and my best roomies ever.
:D Work was overbearing here. Presentations, case study, videos, blogs, reflection. Tons of workload, and hope all of us are struggling well.
Presentation tomorrow, may it be a smooth one.

CIAO.

Day Thirty-one - 24 Sept 08

Awesome day!

Woke up at 11+ as usual without lesson day and I ran 8 rounds of the track in the evening without feeling tired at all with the accompany of Karen, Yu Ting and Teck Yi.

The weather is getting colder and so windy that we can't play our usual sports badminton and table tennis anymore.

But I love this weather!

Took a cab with my roomies to 建设7 路 to shop for the stitch.

But end up I bought 2 watches, 1 clothes and DVDs for my sis.

Good shopping and it's stitching time!
