day 18

Today I wake up at 6, because we have to meet at 6.50 and take a bus to wudang mountain. I brush up and went to sit in the toilet bowl for quite a while. After I come out of the toilet, I found out that it is 6.30 already. I quickly pack up my things and change clothes and run down to the bus and meet my friends. I reach the bus at around 6.55, and I thought that I was late but I was not. There are still a lot more people that did not reach the bus in time. So I take my bread and ate in the bus. After 5 minutes all of us have board the bus and the bus drive off to the mountain. In the bus the tour guide told us that it will take 6 hours to reach there. I was shock by the time and I have something to do in mind already. After the tour guide speaks, me and my friends did the same thing as we did in the last trip, which is sleep. We sleep and went down to toilet till the bus reach the place. When we first reach the place, it is the mountain foot. I expect the place to rain because this is what the weather forecast has predict, but it did not. We walk down the bus and took our lunch in a restaurant in the hotel. After the lunch we went to the hotel toilet. I step into the toilet,oh my god, the toilet is the worst one I have even been to in my life. The toilet is dark and the place is flooded with water. I cannot tell is it really water or mixture with other people’s urine. But I really need to pee and I have no choice but to use it. After that, we went back to bus and start touring the mountain. The first and second place we visited is only like god statue and some buildings , nothing in there interests me. But the last place interests me, because when I walk in, it is really like those Taoist temple that we always saw in the tv. Then the real thing that interest me is the place in there there is a real life Taoist and people learning martial arts inside the temple. The students there are around ages of 4-21. There is a little girl learning in there, she seems young, but her martial arts skills are speechless for me. Then after that we went back to the place where we had lunch and took our dinner there. Then after that we went to our hotel. The hotel rooms are very spooky to me because there are mirrors in front of the bed, and the windows are facing the trees. Then we meet at cristofer’s room and play cards and after that we went back to our own rooms and sleep.

Day 17
Today I woke up at 8. Same thing prepare brush and meet friend and go to the canteen and have our breakfast. Then after that we went to class and have our appg lesson again. Today’s lesson is continue doing lab4. But I had done it the day before, so I thought I could slack and relax again. So I walk around and talk to those who has also finish their work. Then after awhile, our teacher wants us to do tuturoial 4, but that time I went back to my sit and start doing the enchantment of the project. I aim to finish the whole thing before I go to lunch, and I did it. I called for our lecturer and ask him to check our work. I waited for a while and finally Mr. Ma came and help me check. I thought I was going to pass for sure, but I dint expect the program to fail with certain error. So Mr.ma went off and went to check other people’s program. I look at the time and is lunch soon, so I had no choice but to let him check after lunch. So we went for lunch in ate in the same place and same thing. Then after lunch, we went back to our room. Some of us take a rest and some play cards. For me I wash my clothes. Then after that we went back for lessons. When I am in the class, I quickly called Mr.Ma and he help me checked my work and my program works. My program work this time and I can say that I am done with the day. Then after my programmed is checked, I went to help and my friends and listen to songs. After all my friend had done with the lab we went off back to our room. Then me and cristofer went back to our room first and kennith and shugen pass the key to us. We reach the main door and try to open to door with the key. We try and try but we still did not manage to open the door. In the end we wait for shu gen to come back and he opened the door for us. The reason why we do not how to open door because shu gen is the one always open that “problem” door. Then we stay in the room till 6.I was very for my result, so I went online and checked. Before I open the link, I pray really hard, and I hesitated awhile. After a long struggle, I press the link and open my result. And I passed, I shout and shout. After that we went for dinner and buy bread and went back to the room and end a day like this.

day 16

Today I wake at 7.45. the time is one of the earliest time I have wake up for a 9 oclock lesson in china. Prepare and brush doing all the same thing as before. Meet up my friends and went for breakfast. Then after that go to class and begin the lesson. Today lessons starts with lab3. For the first hour is quite relax for me as I have done the lab3 yesterday I do not have to do it, so I listen to some music and slack abit. Then after the first half hour, is quite slack for me and some of my friends. For the second hour, our teacher starts on lab4, which is the new lab of the week. As our teacher is explaining the lab, at the same time I read the notes and start to do the layout of the lab. The layout took me quite a while to finish it. Then I wrote some simple code and then we went for lunch. Today’s lunch starts at 11.15, it is consider quite early, so after our lunch, we still have quite some time to rest in our room. Some of us slept and some played cards. Then at around 1.50 we walk back to class. Then in class I started to do lab4. I was stuck at the calculated button for a very long time, and the thing I stuck is the checkbox. But after our teacher explained to us how to type the code, I solve the lab4 as soon as the button is settled. Then after that, at around 5, we had our dinner. Then we are afraid that we may get hungry in the night so we went to buy some cup noodles. We ate the cup noodles at 11 and we slept after that.

Day 15

Today I wake up at 6.45 because we have a lesson at 8 with a china teacher., the topic that the teacher will be going through is all about business. I met my friends and went on to eat breakfast. After our breakfast, we walk to same route to class. But as we walk we found out something different about today, the weather in wuhan is starting to get warmer and warmer. This is a good sign for me but not for kennith as he is the one who sweat the most everyday day in Singapore. Then when we reach class, Mr.Ma asks us to continue doing our lab3. So I take out my laptop on it and start doing. At first I do not know where to start, I walk around the class and chat with my friends. But after a while, all of my friends starts to do their work and begin to ignore me, I have no choice but to also follow them to do the work. I check the notes and example that the teacher give me and start to try to do the work. I do and do and do. Although I did not manage to finish it, but at least I know some basic things of the program and do some part of it. We went for a lunch break, and I do not know why, after the break I feel like I can finish the program, and true enough I manage to finish it. Then at 3pm, our teacher dismiss us and tell us to go to the so called “wuhan it mall”. We leave at around 4pm and we took a bus. Before we went into the bus, the bus was already pack with people, but we have no choice but to squee in with around 12 people more. We reach the place after 1hour. When I aboard the bus, I was shock by how many IT shopping mall and how big are all of them. Singapore really cannot compare with china. We shop around some malls, and some of the road stall. While shopping some of the road stall, I found out that other that IT items, there also got sell some ban item like guns, baton and knifes. We all bought screen protector and went back to school. we actually wanted to take the van home, but the uncle tell us lie saying that it takes 2 and a half hour to reach to our school and one van he charge us 70 rmb. So we didn’t even have a second thought and take bus straight. When we reach school, we have our dinner and went back to our room and end a day like that.

Day 14

Today I woke up at 8. I am felt moodless cause the toilet beside my room cannot use. Because the toilet is stuck again and cristofer shit is still in the bowl and when you open the lid of the toilet bowl and “beautiful scent” of his shit gush out of the bowl. Then I went into the other toilet and shit. After that same thing we eat. Then we walk to the bus for the industry trip. We are the last group to reach the bus as some of our friends are late. When I board up the bus, I am shocked as the bus only left 3 6 sits, but we have 6 people. So I have me and 2 of my friends had no choice, but to sit on someone else legs. We took about 1hr to reach a place. At first we thought that we reach the place already but we had not. We have to transfer another one bus and take a 45 minutes trip bus to the industry. Finally we reach the industry. When I walked in, I found out that we are actually visiting a “metal-making” industry. The first stage is the red hot iron. When the iron comes out of the furnace it is red in colour. Even we stand about 70 metres away from the iron, I can still feel the heat that comes out of the iron. Then the iron is begin cool down by several of water spray. For the first time the iron is spray by the water, the colour of the iron is still red and this shows that the iron is not cool down yet. The water that touches the iron turns into steam you can also hear the sound. After that the metal is made into thinner pieces and turn into iron coil or something like that. The machine that turns the iron into coil produce a very loud sound, but I am not sure what is happening inside that machine. Then after that, the trip end and we board the bus back. The bus keeps walks the wrong route and ended up we took about 2 hours to get to a shopping mall where we went before. But on the way going back we walk pass some places that are still delevoping and is quite fresh to see it. Then we took lunch in school. then after lunch, we went back to our rooms and rest awhile and go to class again. Then in class, today is a lecture on topics 3. Mr.Ma talks about the topic 3 for quite a while. I see and notes and try to do the example. At first, we felt a bit lost in the topic, but as the Mr.Ma speaks deeper in the topic, the more questions mark came out in our brain. This keeps on continue until the lessons end. Then after lesson we went to play basketball and after that we go for dinner. Then at around 8.30pm, my friends come to our dorm and play poker. We bet the excirse that we want to do. We played from 8.30 to 11.15 and ended up I do 300 push up, 150 crucnhes and 175 jumping jack. Then after that I bath and end a day like this.

We have to wear safety helm before we can go in

day 13

Today I woke up at 8. Nothing new, same as usual, I met my friends and went breakfast with them. Then go class together. Today in class we have to do or to continue our lab 2. Which is the T-shirt program. The project starts before we went to the three gorges. I had done some before I went there. So I thought I could slack and rest a bit in the class. I rest a while and do a bit till lunch time. During lunch I ate fried rice and after eating we all went back to our rooms and rest. I went to the toilet and squad there for a while and do some “big business”. After the “business” I went to sleep awhile in my bed and at 2 plus we went out to class again to continue our lesson. The afternoon lesson, the teacher says that he want us to submit lab2 before we can go. But I have only done it half way. So I quickly “chiong” the lab2 myself and after writing all the code I found out I had some errors. After a few times of checking, I found out the errors and fix it. After the afternoon lesson, we have a dancing and singing session with the china students there. We went in into the place where the event is hold. We were all split into 14 different groups. I am group with Ernest. Actually me and Ernest does not belong to the same group, is just that he changed with someone. Then after that the program starts. The host of the event is by the china class chairman. They starts off the event with some singing by their class singers. Then some introduction of our self. Then is some performance by us. But we do not have anything to perform. So we all are in a panic. Then kennith want shu gen to sing but shu gen do not wanted to. So shu gen approach me and ask me to sing with him, i did not think much that time and promised him because this is really last minute work. We went to the backstage and find some songs to sing. After a long search, we both finally a song and sing it together. Before we perform, I am really very nervous as I had never perform singing in front of such a large group before. Finally is our turn to perform and frankly speaking me I find that we perform not as bad as I thought. I can say that it is better than I thought. After the performance, we go into the center of the stage and dance together. The best thing I saw in the day was Mr.Ma dancing along with the music. Then after that we went out for dinner and I had some fried noodles. This is my first time eating fired noodles in china. Then after we bought some bread for breakfast tomorrow and went back to our room and end a day like this.

day 12

Today I wake up at 6. The night before is really very cold. Then we need to brush up everything before we can go out for our final breakfast in the ship. But when we are brushing up, the water in the ship suddenly went off, and we have no water to brush up. So my friend and I took the mineral water and use it for our brush up and after that we went for our breakfast. Then after meal, we went out of that lousy ship and take the bus and sent us back to our dorms. Then from this time onwards I slept and wake up to go to the toilet all the way till when we are back in the school. When we reach the school, it is about 3.30. me and kennith ordered 3 bowls of fried rice and we finish it. After that, we went back to our room and take a rest before having our dinner. Then at around 6pm, we went to same fishball shop to have our dinner again. This time we ordered the same dishes again, but on top of that, we ordered two more new dishes to try. After the meal, we thought that the bill is going to be above 120 rmb. But in the end, the boss there said that we 100rmb is enough. So once again we pay 100 rmb for a meal which may cause more than a 100 singapore dollars in Singapore. After that, we went back to our room and rest for the day.
