2009-04-10T10:11:00.000-07:00

Went to Hankou today for shopping, weather today is good not like the pervious times we came here was raining so we didn’t walk around much. Realize that this place actually full of street stall and shopping mall. Before shopping we went to ate beefsteak at a restaurant. The restaurant surrounding was high class and the main thing is the cost of the beef meal was super cheap. Wanted to order pork chop but the price is expensive that the beef. After that went to ATM mall the place is almost the same as shou yi guang chang we went the last time. Bought 2 short and 1 shirt from there, than we go exploring around the whole Hankou. End our day at 8pm took a van cab back to dorm. Counting down 4 more days.

I remember the last time we bought the earpiece for 80rmp each but this time round we bargain to 70rmp each. Next, went to the second level to get razer mouse. At first the price of the mouse is 190rmp but we bargain it to 165rmp. Haha. We went back to gym. We like having funfair at gym haha.

Day 36

2009-04-08T12:18:00.000-07:00

Woke up at 8am had APPG project interview at 9.15am. The interview went smoothly I hope I can score will for my project. Went back to dorm and they said they plan to go shou yi guang chang for shopping. Took a cab van which cost us 60rmp to the place. Went to some beefsteak restaurant for lunch, once we walk into restaurant the environment was very high class ever the toilet also very class (is so far I seen the best and clear toilet). I order Club Beefsteak set meal, the taste of the beef was delicious the main ingredient of the meal is their sauce. The best thing of this restaurant is their steak is much cheaper than Singapore. Next we went to a shopping mall call ATM mall, brought some gift for my friend. Waited for more than 30min for CAB think is because we not good at fighting CAB with the China people went back with Arvind, Wenhao and Marc left Jayden, YongXin and PengHoe. We met a “Smart” driver that took us to a lot of unfamiliar places which we don’t know where we are. So overall we ended up paying 57rmp for the cab fare instead of paying 47rmp. Went to the fishball restaurant for dinner than after that went for meeting at 9.30am.
I had learn that take a cab in China is quite risky and the driver here don’t ever know where he going.

Day 35 Activities

2009-04-08T10:30:00.000-07:00

Overslept today woke up at 7.20am and we suppose to meet 8am at the place (omg I’m late) had some outward bound activities. Our group is the first to reach so we play some games while waiting for the other group. The games was funny especially the punishment part when some of them their action was funny. Finally, here they are we can start our activities for today. Now we are split into 4 group and we are given times to think of our group name, logo and group cheer. After that we had to present our group to the rest of the group. Next, we are given 32 pieces of newspapers to create tank’s wheel within 40min and we had to stand on it to move the wheel. We didn’t finish the wheel on time due to we didn’t manage our time properly. The four groups had a competition to see whose wheel is the strongest and the fastest and the most importantly is team work. Our group came in second, quite sad because in the beginning we were leading but coming to the end our wheel joining tear.

It’s 11am we had our lunch time at some restaurant near our school till 2pm than we continues with the next part of the activities. The first game we play is the back trust. Few of pair of people is to catch the person falling from the top which is about 1.5meter. They will tie onto legs and hands so that when we fall our hands and legs will stay in position. When it was my turn I felt scare because I never try it before and when I fall my butt landed first the right way to land is to landed whole body straight. Next, we move on to the high rope element is about 4 story height, each person is to cross over a 1.2inch length gaps and fall from the top. Haha, I manage to finish everything within about 3min I like the most is when you fall from the top the feeling is like kind of scare but kind of fun too. Lastly, is the Rock climbing. This is the part I find it the most enjoyable when you see all of us encouraging each other to climb to the top. I didn’t manage to climb to the top but yet I get experience it. COOL SIA…

Overall I find today activities are very meaningful and get to experience thing that I never try before and never forget team spirit is the key … counting down 7 more days to SINGAPORE.

Went back to dorm to study for this Wednesday test till 7pm plus than went out with my dorm mate for dinner at roadside stall outside our school.

Ordered fried rice and noodle share with them. The fried rice taste the same as Singapore salty fish fried rice(direct translate) because the rice was salty think is some kind of spices they added. I don’t really like the noodle because is too oily they like just fried with oil but the sausage was nice.

After that we went back to dorm, Jit Siong suddenly knocked on the door to inform us to go up to eat cake. I felt full, but still I ate some.

I rejected them because a bit lazy to go so far so I and Marc went canteen 3 for breakfast plus lunch settle in a meal. After meal went back dorm to do our miniproject till 5pm. Went over to culture village is somewhere near school where the event was held. We had a hard time setting up the BBA pit. They don’t have a thing call fire started so we had to use dry glass, paper, tissue and wooded chopstick to start fire. Saw some of them using plastic to start fire luckily some of our student stop them because burning plastic is very poisonous. And the way they BBQ the food is very unhygienic. But still I eat the food taste nice I think is because of their sauce they marinate on the food. Went over the street to eat a probable meal. Try their fishball, their fishball are very different from Singapore. Their fishball was soft but the taste is same as our country. The best thing of this meal egg fried with seaweed.

Assignment 1

2009-03-28T21:03:00.000-07:00

To begin, the purpose I join this Overseas Immersion Program is to learn to be independent, experience of the trip and learn their culture and history. This is the first time I go so far from my home and I want to experience how it’s to be alone with no help of my family. They some so other reason that catch my attention are their culture and the different between Singapore and China. I hope I can know more about their famous history and visit their beautiful scenery. Also the main purpose is to study for my Application Programming (APPG) and IS.

As you know China are well known places are The Great Wall of China, Wudang Mountain, Hankou and Hanyang. As for food they are well known in China are their duck neck, dumpling, steam buns, Gan Mian, Chinese tea and etc. As for their famous history are the History of the Dynasty of Shang and Zhou.

There is much more thing to learns, visit, dishes, business strategy and student life in their school from this trip. The main things I want to learn from this trip are their cultures for example their everyday life style, festival and their costume. They are a lot of places that I like to visit in this trip are their famous places in Wuhan and experience the real life of these place and scene. Eating is my most favorite part of this trip because I like to try different kind of food from different parts of the place. Business strategy in Wuhan is I want to learn how they bargain in street market and counter them in order to get the lower prices. Before I came to Wuhan, my friend told me that student study in university stay in the school hostess because most of the students stay very far away from school. This is what I want to know how student live in campus, what they do during free time, what their famous stuff or sport and etc.

What motivates me to learn are their culture and how they started up a business? In this world they are many different type of races in different part of country. They live in a very different life style and many kind of festivals, foods, costumes, dance, history and etc. As you know China is a very huge country, to set up a business in such a huge country is a very difficult.

The skill that I learn and experience in this trip will help me in my future life. I hope this learning trip will gain me more knowledge of their culture. Besides the culture experience and exposure, I also want to attain some basic life skills, like for example, self development, emotional and physical independence. For instance, making the best out of the money my parents have provided, bargaining would be the one technique I would like to attain or being street smart in choosing the most cash worthy goods to buy. Hope this trip will be enjoyable.

Day 25 Han Kou

2009-03-28T09:11:00.000-07:00

Woke up at 7am was very tired because last night sleep late just to play game with my dorm mate. This weekend the place we visiting are Han Kou. It was raining outside and the bus drive was late so we had to stay at a small shelter to wait and was freezing. Han Kou is a place when there are a lot of stall to shop around. Spend 4 hours over there walking from stall to shopping mall. Wanted to buy shoe at “Sanfu” some local shirts and shoes stall but don’t have the size. I realize that the size of their shoes had limited size of the largest is size 43. If you want to buy gift for friends it’s better to choose their local bands because pricing is much cheaper than international bands. Meeting the group at 3pm. Went to some shopping mall near “Yellow Crane Tower “. Saw this Vans shoes that I like so I ask the price and its 180rmb = S$40.30 so I try to bargain with it but in the end haha 100rmb = S$22.40. Have our dinner at street stall near the shopping mall. Trying their food while we move along. Eat this bun was very special because of the gravy inside make the meat remain its hot temperature. Went back dorm found out that I had sore throat.

Woke up at 9.30am and we suppose to meet at 9.50am at the school entrain, going to fibre and cable optical factory. Board the bus thought the ride will be long so I take a nab but the ride was about 30min. Once we reach the factory, the people in charge of there brief us about what we will be doing in the factory. We stand outside the factory for a very long time. We are also not allowed to take pictures in the factory. Therefore, I took pictures only at the exhibition hall which showcase some of the important procedures in the making of fibre and cable. Before we go in, we also take a group picture. There are certain checkpoints in the factory whereby we can watch short videos of the processes in fibre and cable making. The video is so boring plus I feel that it is too short and I don’t really understand the processes. There is a total of 3 checkpoints. After exploring the factory, we assemble at the entrance of the factory and get ready to go back to school. We reach school at about 12 plus. Then Mr Chua told us that the APPG theory test will be at 4. So I followed the rest to a restaurant near our school for our lunch. The food there is quite ok. Me jayden and marc return back to dorm to rest until 3 plus before we go for our theory test. The test is quite manageable. After the test, we went to canteen 3 again for our dinner and went to gym after that. Head back to dorm and rest for the day.

Today we are visiting Yangtze Shennong Stream before than we need to change to their guang guang boat. The ride is about 2 hours Here we are at the Shennong where there is boat tracker pulling the boat. The appearance of them is like near naked bodies, taut tanned muscles. This is like their local gym.Trackers begin their heavy work of moving many tons of cypress upstream against a fiercely resisting roadway of water. The irresistible force of the bronze skinned tracker's teamwork and cooperation represents the best in masculinity and bravery.

Pasting through 1 of the Gorge this is the most beatiful. This scene can be found at 10rmb China note
