day 41 - last day

6.00am

Ring! there goes the alarm. *snooze* 

6,40am 

Oh my god its already 6.40. Time to rush. Brush my teeth, wash my face and pack all these things into my check-in luggage. 

7.40am 

Wen Jie and Dong Xiang came back with breakfast for us. We drag our luggage out after that and bring it to the bus just park outside the school.

8.00pm
Leaving of WUST campus to the airport.

Upon reaching the airport, all of us break into our assigned groups to have our luggage weigh to make sure it doesn't exceed 30kg as any additional weigh will cost us 110rmb.

1.00pm
boarding of the transit plane for our flight to Guangzhou but it didn't depart on time and departed at 1.30pm instead. We had our lunch at Wuhan airport. The whole airport only have one shop that caters food.

these are all the luggages we had inside our room ready to be check-out. 

We faced many problems during the transit flight. We were only given 15minutes to change to our next plane. Furthermore, we are told to take out luggage from the luggage belt and to re check-in again due to the massive amount of luggage we had. All this took up lots of time and it was already 5pm by the time we board the plane. 

Due to the delay in flight, we only reach Singapore at 10.05pm which was about 1 and a half hour behind schedule. 

After pulling out my luggage from the luggage belt i only get to leave the airport at 11pm.

Reflection:

Throughout this 42days i felt that i have learnt lots of lessons. If i have chosen not to come, it would have miss a great opportunity to expose myself to a country filled with such diverse culture. Without my parents around, i learnt how to lead an independent life, learn how to take care of myself, buy my own essential, gauge how much i can spent each day, settle my own meals and how to take care of myself when i fall sick.

last but not least i would like to thank our China friends who have been taking care of us all along:
Dong Xiang
MeiZe
GongShan
Xiaogang
Zhi Xiong

day 40 - 2nd last day:(

the 2nd last day before we leave.

*the weather has turn cold today out of a sudden like the first few days we reach here*

All of us were to get our room cleared by 12pm today as we were supposed to have our luggage weight by 12.30pm. Hence, we were supposed to pack everything inside our luggage so that no additional things can be added on after that.

As my check-in luggage is only 18kg, i can afford to lend some weigh to my friends as their luggage had already exceed 30kg.
after the settling and organizing with what we have to do with our luggage, my group went outside to film our IS video. We did individual video shooting for introducing purpose as well as some group photos at certain parts of the school.

After settling with our IS project, we went to 发源地 to have our hair done. Our china peeps arrange something for us and told us that we were suppose to be in  our dorm at 8.30pm. Hence, we went back after having our hair done.

The moment we reached back, they immediately brought us out to a hotel near by which is just at the place beside the posh hotel we dine in at the farewell dinner.
We played mahjong, on the television, open bottles of cokes, sprites, lemon tea and played poker cards. Of course we didn't gamble just pure games like bluff and HEART ATTACK!

We leave the hotel at 11.15pm to head back to our hotel as the dormitory closes at 11.30pm and we need to pack our essentials like toothbrush and towels and some clothings before leaving early in the morning tomorrow.

Reflection:
Time flies so fast. International friendship always come with a deadline. Consume within this period end within this period. When it ends, what u can endeavor is the nice sweet feeling churning in your stomach. Only meant to be think of is the perfect impression and not the surge to get it back again cause its impossible. Perhaps its this that makes memories so precious and unforgettable. I will never forget this 42 days here.
