我回来了！带着许多美好的回忆、许多的不舍回来了。。。

我还记得20天前，在准备行李的时候，那时候是多么的忐忑不安。我还在考虑要不要去武汉参加这次的夏令营。
原因：我真的好累。实习刚在6月29日结束。最后一天还需要加班。回到家，看到凌乱不堪的房间。星期六，又要参加聚会。行李还没收拾。啊~烦的leh...
在我还没踏出家门的时候，爸爸也对我说：“我也十分不愿意让你去武汉。”

20天后的我很开心、庆幸自己最后还是去了武汉。。。

这次的服装主题是白色运动休闲风。很多人问我白色是不是我最喜欢的颜色。哈哈并不是这样的

i m back!! yeah!! many many wonderful memories..haizz... for e first time in my life, i dont really feel like gg home so soon.. hahaha...

20 days ago i was still deciding if i shld really go wuhan.. cos there r so many things undone.. haizz...
but i m really glad i went!! heezz...

Day 1 [1 July 2007]

第一次乘搭Tiger airways.. 我们大伙儿约在廉价机场会合。时间是凌晨4点。
first time taking tiger airways... hahaha.. met at budget terminal at 4am... most of us r excited abt e trip mans.. hahaha... thanks MAs for seeing me off at e airport... n e pig who wanted to see me off but fell asleep eventually.. hahah...

终于抵达广州白云机场了。辛苦两位男生了，负责帮我们推重重的行李。。。

finally reached guangzhou.. e guys r sooo nice to help us push e very heavy trolleys around... walked out of e airport n saw a v familiar sight... our very own singapore airlines!! hahaha... so 亲切

in the airport we saw these golf cars thingy moving around.. n they actually charge u for ferrying u to places within e airport... dotz.. even more ex than our sg taxis.. but their airport really huge! cos they dun haf separate terminals for domestic flights and international flights.

as we continued walking.. we approached e baggage packing counter.. thinking the service is free we happily moved our luggage onto their counters..

then we realised to our horror.. that it's not free! kns~~

we just "donated" to the guangzhou airport...

then we saw this notice... very true indeed.. we cannot trust anyone except ourselves... dotz..

when we were waiting to board our flight at gz airport... we heard numerous announcements about flight delays and reschedules.. at first we were still glad dat our flight was not announced.. we lingered around our boarding gate.. but as time approached 5pm [our departure time] there was still no airline staff at e door ready to help us check in.. dotzz...
we started to panic.. jieying called whu to let them noe we r still at airport at 515pm.. den finally a petite stewardess walked to the door and i cant remember how we got to know that it was actually her fault that delayed all of us.. she was late for work.. and there was dis female passenger [chinese auntie] making a big fuss out of it.. she was speaking on top of her lungs, demanding an explanation if not all of us would not board the plane.. dotzz... you don't want to board, that's your problem can? don't drag all of us in...
finally boarded e plane at about 545 i guess...
at about 7pm, our pilot told us due to adverse weather conditions at wuhan, we had to land at yichang and wait for the weather conditions at wuhan to improve.. we were delayed indefinitely.. e stupid thing was we were not allowed to alight the plane to go buy dinner.. all 100odd passengers were stranded at yichang on a miserable plane.. dotz... we were famished can?! the reason they gave for not letting us alight was that in the case of wuhan's weather sudden improvement, it would b difficult to gather all of us back on the plane again...
hmmm but at least the stewardesses offered hot beverages...
for the first time we were allowed to use phones on the plane.. i called home to let my dad know i m stranded at this place called yichang... my dad "HUH-ed?!" a few times at the name.. he had no idea where that place was.. i believed after i hung up.. he must have gotten my sis to search the place on the china map.. haha...

look at our faces... u can tell how bored we were...

boy! you won't know how relieved we were when we finally arrived at wuhan airport at 10pm... phew~~i really wanna thank all those student volunteers who waited till sooo late at the airport... they were really friendly and warm!

finally boarded the bus and we were on our way to wuhan university!! yay!! our tour guide was this very friendly girl called peng cui!

after we dumped our luggage,another very friendly student volunteer li chao brought us out for dinner.. haha...
oh ya! haha we were really glad to know that we were going to stay in hotel and not some student dormitories.. haha we had private bathrooms and air cons!! that was all i asked for, really.... especially after hearing some of the horror stories.. hahaha... yeah!! =) oh but we were not staying on wuhan university main campus.. we were staying at the international centre in whu side campus aka 武侧

Day 2 [2 July 2007]

in the morning, we attended an orientation and introduction to wuhan university.. after which we brought some of the foreign students out for lunch... its weird how we became "volunteers" for this summer programme... haha i think the other wuhan student volunteers weren't free to bring them out....

after lunch it was the campus tour around wuhan university..

the scenery in wuhan univeristy is really beautiful and breathtaking!!

there was this sculpture of ring/circle of friendship thingy in the middle of their central plaza... how can we not take a picture in front of it right?

we also visited their labs...

doesnt this road reminds u of 英德学院？ hahaha.. well i m quite sure 流星花园 wasn't filmed here but anyway...

i almost fainted when i saw the very long flight of stair we need to climb... oh my! our north spine to south spine stairs is really nothing compared to this... something worth mentioning is that this student hostel is classified as one of the protected buildings by the central government.. cool sia~~

spectacular view up there...

me and my roomie!! yeah really glad to have yirui as my roomie!! haha...

group picture in front of their library block..

this picture was taken with our lives at risk.. hahaha because we were sitting in the middle of the road.. you won't know how scary it was to have so many cars and buses and trucks facing you while posing for this picture...

our welcome dinner... boohooo.. all the ntu people were separated and were seated at different tables.. i didn't know anybody at the table.. one of the rare occasions when i was quiet during meal time.. hahaha...

the student volunteers put up a very hilarious performance!

娱乐性：满分*****

oh ya! i wanna thank 邓凡for helping me set up my laptop so that i could go online and send rena my timetable..

Day 3 [3 July 2007]
woke up and i cant remember who brought us out for breakfast.. i think it was zhou you.. we had one of their local specialty for breeakfast.. its called 热干面... booo i don't like... it was really dry can?! i couldn't even finish half of the bowl... oh.. but the nice auntie helped us add chilli oil that was not spicy at all but at least the noodles are more moist.. and easier to swallow.. but still not my cup of tea.. haiz...

after breakfast we went for our first chinese language lesson.. boring cos the teacher was teaching the use of 一点儿、有点儿、怎么、什么...

after that we went for shadowboxing aka taijiquan lesson... hahaha..

after lessons we went to a shopping centre near our whu.. haha it soon became our favourite hangout liao... this is 群光 hahaha...

me, roomie, ronnie and guanhua went to have international buffet for dinner.. haha so cheap! so happy!! 38rmb.. about 8sgd.. their selection not very wide.. but it was good enough already... =)

that shopping centre even had an indoor playground and carousel.. so cool~~

night view of 群光。。 oh ya there is an outdoor basketball court.. so cool!

then we walked back to whu to see venny and vily back.. because they not joining us for ktv.. and we couldnt let 2 girls walk back on their own too...

ktv time~~

the room is really big.. there was a bar table for ppl to sit at also.. there was even a mini stage with own microphone stage and tv screen.. so cool~~ and singing ktv was really cheap!!11pm to 5am e room charge is 110rmb... cos we arrived at about 10.. so we had to pay an additional 75rmb for the first hour... that was still v cheap.. haha...

walking back to our hotel at 5am.. there was no cars on the street.... hahaha we could pose in the middle of the road...

Day 4 [4 July 2007]

after lessons the student volunteers and 刘老师 brought us out to 汉口。。its like the city of wuhan... our whu is at 武昌。wuhan is divided into 3 parts: wuchang, han kou and hanyang...

very nice view... resembles that of shanghai hor...

we had to board this kind of ferry to get to the opposite side... [after that i realised, actually we can also take bus or taxis to get across]

on the ferry...

we passed by their 歌剧院 the architecture is quite unique...

finally we reached!

i really love the architecture of the buildings here...really pretty...

who says 兰桂坊can only be found in hong kong? hahaha...

Day 5 [5 July 2007]

we had chinese lessons in the morn, followed by an excursion...

we visited the provincial museum.. wuhan is actually located in hubei...

we enjoyed the performance of chime bells ensemble... really amazing...

i thought their post box looked rather small..

after the provincial museum, we went to the east lake park... 东湖... we refused to join the rest of the group to pay for a 3ormb tram ride.. we decided to explore on our feet.. actually the initial plan was to look for a shady spot so that we could play bridge or dai dee.. hahaha... and also 30rmb could buy us a lot a lot of ice cream la.. hahaha...

the lake was really beautiful and calm...

when i look at the 200 odd of stair i need to climb.. seriously i think i should opt for the 30rmb ride the next time.. hahaha.. because the 200 odd stairs does not include those stairs within the building itself... my goodness...

look at how tired i was after the climb... 此刻的我顾不着什么形象了haha

after i rested enuf.. i did have a sense of achievement watching our fellow participants getting off their tram and climbing about 50 steps...

we actually proved our tour guide wrong that we could reach the top earlier than them..

Day 6 [6 July 2007]
we woke up early early to set off for the 3 gorges dam... it was a 5-hour ride to 宜昌 ya e place we were stranded on the first day...most of us dozed off on the bus cos it was a long journey and we woke up very very early...

finally we reached one of the water dams!! what a magnificent sight!

guanhua, ronnie, roomie and me!

NTU group photo

more pictures of the 4 of us...

china has many nice nice bridges... this is one of them.. e badong bridge...

we really got a shock when we saw the condition of our cabin.. really.. thou we had been pre-warned by those student volunteers to not expect too much of the rooms.. but this was way beyond my expectation can?!

the rooms were still ok.. but the toilets were indescribable.. my goodness... it was dirty and the showerhead was directly above the toilet bowl [the squatting type] and the toilet bowl was very yellow and dirty.. worst of all.. the toilet had this unbearable stench that won't go away despite spraying half my bottle of air freshener...

do we look like coolies waiting to go to nanyang to 谋生？haiz...

i quickly ate my motion sickness pill and fell asleep soon after... hahaha this picture was taken while i was fast asleep...

Day 7 [7 July 2007]

i woke up at 5am.. then heard the announcement that we were still stuck behind the gantry cos of the thick fog.. booo.. i slept sooo much and yet the ferry didnt move much...

and i realised i missed out on a night of fun and activities... they were drinking with laoshi and the stduent volunteers.. haha so fun~~

说真的，从来没见过一个老师那么爱喝酒。。。老师，不错哦！

and also, i wanna thank guanhua, roomie and ronnie... heard that they took turns to go down to cabin to 陪me even though i was fast asleep... they were worried i would throw up or feel sick.. thanks guys!

markings within the dam...

our very 寒酸breakfast... our jaws really dropped.. but the magnitude of our jaw-dropping is really nothing to compared to other foreign students, i guess... at least we have seen such dishes before.. but they were really shocked to see such "simple" food for breakfast... i was even more turned off when i saw the waitresses reusing the 馒头s... in e end, lao shi had to ask the kitchen to prepare noodle soup for us.. haha...

finally at about 11am the fog cleared and we could move out of the gantry...

some of the ang mohs really love the sun.. they move their mattresses out to the deck and sleep there...

feeling much better after a night's rest...

me + roomie+ mandy

guanhua + ronnie+ me

e 4 of us again~~

this is how our ferry looked like.. but this is not our ferry la.. jus one of its twin brothers.. hahaha...

e hat ronnie is wearing is lao shi's one.. hahaha... so big!

ronnie + song song [one of the student volunteers]

guanhua + songsong+ ronnie +me!

songsong always like to ask if we are speaking cantonese when we were really just speaking our singaporean chinese hahaha...

i find it very amazing to see coffins chucked in holes in tall tall cliffs... only the rich could afford to hire people to move these coffins and bring them up the cliffs... it was believed that the higher you bury ur ancestors the more luck and wealth you will enjoy...

oh ya i forgot to mention at dis point in time we have already changed to a smaller ferry cos our big ferry cannot enter the narrow gorges and rivers...

ronnie+ roomie + me!

roomie + mandy+ minting + me + guanhua

.... + songsong hahaha...

our first stop: shen nong xi...

we watched a cultural performance here.. haha ok to b honest, i only watched very minimal of the performance... i was more interested in buying a fan and drinks to quench my thirst hahaha...

people who are bilingual should know why i took this picture.. some of our ang moh participants actually asked what the sign means...
[ oh ya i bought a fan! hahaha can c from my picutre]

walking back to our ferry...

we changed to sampan now... cos the river is too shallow.. haha... the lifejackets were really gross... heh... i doubt they have any life saving abilities even...

this is part of their culture... i forgot the name.. but basically these boatmen will pull the boats using ropes to move them along the coast.. the water here is too shallow to allow them to continue using oars...

look how muscular these ah peks are.... they look even older than my ah gong....

finally we are back in our bigger ferry for dinner....

this picture was taken on 070707 at 7:07pm hahaha....

n cos our ferry was delayed in the morn... we could only visit 白帝城 at night... it was oredi close to midnight when we reached... i seriously have no idea why the lighting of that place is so greenish... giving our photos a very spooky feel.. haiz....

does this seem like i was on the great wall of china at night? hahahaha...

there were makeshift hawkers at e foot of the hill... near the ferry terminal... songsong bought fried glass noodles and ronnie and guanhua tried... according to them, its really nice and smooth... i know my stomach is weak, hence i dared not be too adventurous.. plus i have been 拉肚子-ing everyday since i arrived in wuhan... i drink mineral water.. i dont even drink boiled tap water lor... i eat at restaurants for most of the meals lor.. haiz..

when we finally got back at the ferry i took another motion sickness pill and slept till the next morning hahaha....

click play to view the video.. u can see for yourself the condition of the toilet in our cabin... video courtesy of minting.. starring venny, vily, minting and jieying hahaha...

Day 8 [8 July 2007]

despite the delayed sailing at first, we manged to alight the ferry at about 9 plus 10am i think...if my memory didnt fail me... hahaha...

arjan asked if i slept well for the past 2 nights.. hahaha told him yeah man! he was shocked! he said i was the first person who slept well on the ferry... oops! but i didnt tell him that was because i took my motion sickness pill which would put me to sleep hahaha...

first stop was jing zhou museum...

there was this very well preserved male corpse in this museum... quite scary actually *shudders*

hahaha me and minting felt like 格格s under that kind of setting... hahaha...

we could only pose for this picture in less than 1 minute.. the sun was really scorching...

after that we were on our way back to hotel... boy! we had never felt more than happy to go back to that hotel... really!

i was glad i managed to resolve something with a good friend... sorry!

Day 9 [9 July 2007]

we lunched out... haha li chao brought us to this street near our school with many high-quality imitations... haha...

we passed by this restaurant and we ordered chicken, frog, and some banana dessert li chao recommended... the banana was sandwiched between tomato and salty egg yolk... the perfect blend of sweetness and saltiness.. yum yum!

then we went to the shopping centre next to 群光 wahh that place really resembles our far east with many little little shops selling nice clothes... very jappy kind oso... not my style.. on level 3 of the building there was an arcade.. we had a very fun time there playing the basketball machine and also my favourite mario kart! hahaha....

at night, zhou you brought us out for steamboat... he wanted to recommend us to this nice steamboat place.. but that place only serves beef and mutton... most of us do not like... not only that, most of us were actually down with more severe diarrhoea because of the steamboat...

after the steamboat i went back early to rest because i was not feeling well.. i wanted to rest early because we going out later again for ktv! hahaha... but haizz it was a total flop! the volunteers who agreed to come played us out in the end.. only song song turned up... then cos roomie was not feeling well, ronnie stayed behind to look after her...

in e end only me, guanhua, mandy and minting and song song went for ktv... haizz.... halfway through the ktv we gave up singing and watched death note in the end... yar their ktv has many facilities.. you can even watch movie in your room... anyone who has death note 2 dvd or vcd or wadeva please lend me! thanks!

Day 10 [10 July 2007]
lessons in e morning, followed by an excursion to the east lake hi-tech development zone.. 东湖开发区

hahaha we were brought on a cruise because our bus driver didnt know the way...

after the excursion, the student volunteers brought us to 汉口 to shop! yeah!

we even got the chance to take tram! whoa~ i didnt know china had trams... i always thought it was a westerner thing...

big big shopping centres at han kou... hang ru and li chao were attached to our group... hahaha...

i like the design of this overhead bridge a lot.... it looks very much like a tripod... at the top of the overhead bridge.. in the middle central area, there are people 摆地摊 there... quite special...

behind us is this 步行街 which reminds me of taipei 西门町 hahaha...

i love big big giordano... hahaha.. why singapore doesnt have?

Day 11 [11 July 2007]

had lessons in the morning... then we went to have porridge at a shop near our sch.. it was really not bad...

then we went back to rest...

in the night we went down to 群光 pizza hut.. hahaha yum yum!! the very special drinks we ordered... roomie ordered a kiwi smoothie.. i ordered a papaya smoothie.. look at the very pretty stirrer... hahaha i brought it back to singapore...

pizza hut has one of the nicest and cleanest toilet in the entire wuhan!!

after dinner we continued our search for mahjong tiles.. or rather,roomie and ronnie continued the search for mahjong tiles...

Day 12 [12 July 2007]

after which we went back to hotel to prepare for our seminar...

in the evening it started to rain heavily... very abnormal of wuhan's oven-like weather... we had to call for pizza delivery...

lao shi dropped by at night to make sure we were practising for our item at the farewell party.. hahaha...

一想到夏令营要结束，我的眼泪就像打开了的水龙头不停落下，尤其是边看着这15天一起拍的照片。妈呀~~我还真是个爱哭鬼。。。

at the farewell party i saw jian li cry.... i didnt dare go up to talk to him.. because i knew i won't be able to control my tears too... i saw another korean girl crying and talking to song song... i hurried back to my room.. cos i m really very easily influenced by people around me..

back to our hotel room...

mandy is the first to leave wuhan in our group... boohoooo....

i cried in my room again.... haizz.... 老天一定是感受到我们万般的不舍，外面的雨一直都没停过。。。

we walked around sch.. 当我一想到这可能是我这辈子最后一次从武侧走去群光时，我好担心眼泪又会不听话。我故意走在其他同学的后面。。。多么希望地球此刻能停止转动。。。

Day 15 [15 July 2007]

今天起得特别早，要乘搭6点的校车到机场。。

老师还打来叫醒我们，不过我早就醒了。。

后来嵩嵩陪我到校外的pharmacy买喉片,但是还没开始营业。。但是，还是非常感谢嵩嵩陪我走那一段我们14天来每天必经的路。。

拥抱老师的那一刻，故作轻松。。。其实心里真的很想哭。。。

当我看到平时很难叫醒的ronnie都自己爬起来送我们的时候，我真的很感动。。。

看到roomie and ronnie 在巴士外跟我们挥手，我的眼泪在眼眶里打转。。

非常感谢邓凡、嵩嵩和 maria 送我们到机场。。。

在我走的那一刻，坚决不让眼泪流下来，不要让你们看到难过的我。。。

at guangzhou: on the taxi to train station..

on the train to hong kong.... i was still thinking of wuhan and the people...

but there were really a lot of buses also la... nothing to worry about.. and we dont have to stand on buses... that is really quite impressive....

yeah!! reached ocean park only to realise we got off at the wrong entrance... meaning this is the entrance on the higher ground... i wanna get off at the cable car station entrance la... fret not~ we took the free shuttle bus service that ferried us to the other entrance haha...

we joined in the queue to look at pandas... basically there r 4 pandas separated in 4 enclosures....
