Goodbyes are never easy...

We were supposed to be going to ChengDu for shopping today, but due to a riot (march), roads were blocked and we weren't allowed to travel there due to safety reasons. It was such a last minute decision and it caused many unhappiness because many wanted to do a last minute shopping! In the end, we went to MianYang town, which i was quite excited over it because shopping in China is not my thing, i would rather go around exploring new places instead of doing shopping which could be done back in Singapore! MianYang is a nice place, a smaller scale ChengDu, with all the things we needed! The other exciting part about the trip is, we get to take a train to the city and their public buses to the shopping area! How cool is it for us to be taking a train to another city, all these would never happen in Singapore!

Also, while in the city, we encountered the protest on the street too! It was a one in a lifetime experience to be able to witness what would be mentioned in the news! Friends and family would be reading the news about the situation, where we are there watching it live! It was very chaotic towards the end whereby people start flipping Japanese-brand cars on the street as a protest of getting rid of Japanese products! Thank god that everyone was able to make it back to the school safe and sound.

Our last night in the campus was spent with the hairstylist, they threw a farewell party for us with amplifier and live band performance! I really appreciate their effort for making our last night in ChengDu so fun, after the life performance, we released fireworks once again, and this time round there were 2 shooting simultaneously! Right after the performances and fireworks, we blasted music along the street and we all dance along! I'm already starting to miss this place, i do not know when will be the next time i will be back in China, but i'm definitely going to remember this OIP trip!

PS:I really enjoyed this trip and i am sure that i would miss this place badly!

We sang our hearts out!

The clock tower remains at 2.28pm where the earthquake happened

Today was a free and easy day after the morning visit to the earthquake affected site, it was terribly upsetting to look at the aftermath of the earthquake. I was glad that Mr.Cheah said that it was compulsory for all to attend this outing, it made me treasure Singapore even more then ever because it is really fortunate to be living in a natural disaster-free country!

After that, our group went over to GuangHan town to meet YunXia for lunch, massage, manicure & pedicure and karaoke session! It was the last time that we will ever be visiting GuangHan town for this trip, i am so going to miss GuanHan town! We all enjoyed ourselves tonight, especially the girls because it was some of their first visit to the karaoke!

Yeah! It was the Malay's and Indian's first visit to Karaoke!

It's a whole new world!


Exam ended like nobody's business, even though it was just a common test! But believe me, no one was in the mood for any test when we are doing the module overseas! My mood instantly switched to "it's play time" mood! After the test, we went over to the conference room to meet up with the director, principal and teachers for a graduation ceremony. We presented the video that i made over the past few days, i was told that it touched some of the viewers. Time really flies when we are enjoying, how i wish that we had 1 extra week of fun here before we return to reality.

In the night, we had this sumptuous dinner at this farm house, which sounds very cheap but it turned out to be a chalet-liked clubhouse! There were facilities like karaoke, table-tennis, card rooms, and mahjong rooms! We all had fun over at the farm house, where many of us were drinking beers like there's no tomorrow! All this fun will be over in a few days time!

I'm so getting hair-loss!

That was us stressing over the common test!!
The whole day was supposed to be spent revising for the paper for tomorrow, but the group of us, we went over to GuangHan town for a body massage session! The massage was very value for money because we only paid 20RMB for a 40 min session where it could simply cost 40SGD! After the relaxation, we are both mentally and physically relaxed and thus it was time for us to head back to school for a intensive studying session! Wish us good luck for the paper tomorrow!

The massage was awesome! I love my masseurs!
