Day 34 – Tour to East Lake!

Woke up rather early today, prepared and went to the East Lake. Well, the East Lake is not as fun as I thought… Still, I had fun there. The journey to the East Lake is approximately half an hour… And.. the tour guide is the lady who went with us to the Museum…

The East Lake is really very long.. the bus went on for about 15 minutes before we reach the first tourist attraction.. got a shock when we see so many people.. After that we realized that they are actually students, preparing to go home…

The first attraction is the botanic garden… not much different from Singapore? But of course, it is bigger…













Next is the Moshan Hill… where we picnic there… hmm there was actually a chance to go to the top of the hill.. but we have to pay extra fees… and to climb so many stairs up and down.. we decided not to go… stayed below and played, “Crocodile Crocodile, may I cross your golden bridge”. Hahas. A childhood game… Had lots of fun (o:






Crews of the day aka photographers!


These are the actors and actresses! Film completed (o:




PICNIC!!!


=.=

I stayed in the bus for the last attraction..before I was too tired… and everything seems to look the same…

Autumn is finally here! Feel so lucky to be able to experience the change from one season to another.. (o:

Day 33 – Big Bear, Bob!

Have had the IS presentation!!! It is finally over… Currently left with IS report and the individual report… (o: Hope everything goes well and that I can finish them on time… The presentation started at 9… 930 rather.. since the videographer forget to get the memory card? Yup… And we had a break at 1130 to 1230… after which presentation resume. Well, went to the usual canteen to have lunch.





At approximately 2pm, we were told that there will be lecture in that lecture theater, so we had no choice but to move to the classroom… by then, we are only left with 1 group to present… so I think that it was alright. All presentation ended at around 3plus… than me, wl, yn and clar went to Walmart to get some groceries? For tomorrow’s picnic, I suppose (we were suppose to prepare our own lunch…)? Had KFC… than come back to the dorm to put our things…. Er… Brought a very big teddy bear, named BOB! Hahas. This is the present from me to yn for her 18 birthday! Well, her birthday is in June… but I did not give her any present..so the bear shall be it.



Next we went to the restaurant nearby to have dinner? Mr Puah’s treat… for all the September babies.. hahas. Happy Birthday Once Again (o: and Thanks… yup.. Than went the supermarket shopping mall with yn they all to get something but because there is a sale going on… there were super many people. Soon after, sam and come back to the dorm……Think that’s all folks.

Fact: the people here likes to push! Omg, it is very scary…



Hmm the plan to wholesale failed again.

Day 32 – Sooooo Cold.

Hmmm LAST lesson for IS…. Yup…Rather interesting... I think after today… Xiao Ling 老师will be less stressed… yup. Lesson ended at around 10 and we went to the soup place for soup again! I had… Mushroom duck soup! Than went to the supermarket shopping center to see if there is suitable shoes for tomorrow’s presentation… Apparently, they are all so expensive=.= Still, I got a top. (o:

We limit our time of shopping to until 130pm. Though we drag till around 2pm than arrived at the dorm. Than rested.. until 330, we have IS group meeting to discuss about the presentation. Well, everything went smoothly. (o: after that, I watch one episode of the Hong Kong drama (forensic…) as usual than went to exercise. Glad that I managed to maintain the mindset of “must do 4 sets everyday”. I did it today! Think when I return to Singapore, should be rather fit. Hahas.

Hm.. Mr Puah cooked duck porridge for us again today! Well, if you visit others of my OIP-mates, I guess they have the photos… Do take a look! (o: After dinner… really do not know what to do… So.. I just “stoned”, stared into blank space. Hahas… Did not have the mood to do my assignments, is just so sudden that everything comes at the same time… Workloads that have not been heard before suddenly rush to Wuhan to visit me… I just don’t like tt feeling. We already have so much things to do… and tasks are just adding on and on. =.=

Tomorrow… Think will be going to wholesale! Hahas. I look forward it. It has been mentioned so many times.. and we always fail to let it happen…

Day 31 – Is Autumn Coming?

The weather today is very cold! I wonder if autumn is coming… Just recalled that the weather 2 days ago was so warm and now, it is rather cool. I was doing my work until like 3am.. then accidentally fell asleep until 1pm. Can’t believe that I am sleeping to long again. Of course, I continued to do my IS assignment upon waking up… Finally, it was time to exercise again! Did the 4 sets as usual… yup. than it was dinner… and back to the room to do some touch up… That’s the end of the day!


It is getting very dry… in the blog…

4th NE MESSAGE

*posted every Sunday*
No one owes Singapore a living.
We find our own way to survive and prosper, turning challenge into opportunity.


It is true that no one owes Singapore a living! Finding our own way to survive and prosper is also a fact. For example, coming to Wuhan, we have to learn to live by ourselves… face the problems that we encountered! Take this challenge as a opportunity to learn and be independent. We cannot possibly stay in Singapore and be a mountain turtle, rather a island turtle?

Even if we are in Singapore, we have to find our own jobs… and discover new things ourselves.. we should not depend on it to provide us everything. In addition, it is our homeland, we should try to contribute to it… and not wait for it to contribute to us.

As we had learnt from the past, we turn most challenge into opportunity, from the point where Japan surrendered Singapore, Singapore tried her best to gain independence.

Day 27 & 28 – City Tour to Wudang Mountain

The weekend was spent at the Wudang Mountain! Hahas. nice place to go to… if u dun follow the travel agency. The place is rather packed… and the time is kind of short.. u cannot really discover the interesting places of the mountain.



We set off early in the morning on Saturday.. taking a more than 5 hours journey by bus to Wudang.. yup.. by the time we reach there is like 2 plus.. if I din remember wrongly…than went up to the mountain.. visit some place.. where the prince study.. and some other places.. not very sure of the whole situation.. coz everything seems to be so messy…! Lol… by the time we get down the mountain.. the sun had already set… so.. yeah. Very tired. Went for dinner.. and goin back to the hotel to rest.





The next day began the same way, juz that this time, we are goin to the top of the mountain. Take note is TOP! Hahas. We were given a chance to choose whether to climb or take the cable car up..Well, I chose the cable car… hahas. queuing to the cable car.. was.. ARGH. Shall not explain more…





Got to the top at around 11? And we visited some Taoist temple… hm… not bad.. but I still prefer the scenery to the buildings. Yup. the scenery give one an impression of living on top if the clouds! Hahas. Let the pictures explain it.
