Felicia's porridge:Zai liang zou (some kind of corn porrige) it taste super SWEET!! OMG!! Cannot stand it, thus, i do not like it
My porridge:Century egg porridge(pei dan zhou) nice nice! yummy!! taste like singapore's but the appearance and texture, is totally different from singapore's porridge(watery), but it's nice, suits my taste, neither too sweet nor saltish (don look nice, taste nice)
Beancurd(dou hua) Look nice, taste not nice... ITS BITTER!! must add sugar oursleves, but after adding, it's still not nice. Singapore's nicer!!
Felicia and kumar.
After eating, we walked to our classroom. While walking, i met this China guy (is he a lecturer?), he asked me where kumar was from, i said Singapore.To me, i found that he found kumar unique, because of skin colour. hahas, that China guy was very friendly and he welcomed us to WUST, China!!! Friendly people in WUST!!
Soon, we reached our classroom, and we learn Toxicology!! The amazing thing is, hardy can walk already and he attended the class!! The hospital is not bad!!So fast heal! Then, we watched step up 2 movie!! Great show!! After our class, my coursemate wanted to play basketball with the local students as there is a compeitition coming soon between the locals and us. So, they try playing with each other; to see their standard and skill. So, as i do not want to start my blogging, i went to see how they played basketball. I only notice 1 very obvious thing is that, when the locals(china students) were playing, they have a lot of body contact; which i feel that it's not very friendly and can be quite hurtful. This is their style of playing, thus, i wish best luck to whom ever who are playing wif them!~ Oh ya!! MY HEAD GOT HITTED BY THE BASKETBALL 2 TIMES!!(1 by alan, the other by yong qi). u 2 huh, watch out! hahas anyway, no much beal deal about my head, the brain still functioning and i did not lose any memorises =b
After playing, all of us(17 of us), except hardy(cant walk so far), jasper and youn qi(went to excerise(running))went to eat dinner wif Mr Chong. Mr Chong brought us to eat jia jiang mian!
Mei yi and yi sheng happily waiting for the food.
This is how it looks like when it served to us! hahas looks nice!! This shop is called jia jiang mian won alot of awards!! Everyone who goes there will try it!! Also, the waiter kept recommanding it to us! she was friendly and ask us wat we would like (spicy, non spicy etc.) polietly.
This is how it looks like after it mixed and our soya bean(1 yuan). Okay, so now, the evaluation of the food for the soya bean was rather okay to me, but i still prefer sg one. For the noodles(4 rmb), IM JUST NOT USE TO CHINA FOOD. All the rest find it very delicious all those, but for me, i found it not nice and i ate a few mouth only. AH!! i think im a typical singaporean, Gosh, i just can't adapt to the food...
Then, we went to eat dessert at a shop called gui ling gao(grassjelly in sg)
This is my milk tea gui ling gao(5rmb). Comments: eatable! hahas sg also have this shop!! but china is cheaper!!After eating our dessert, we went to take away food for hardy and went bak to rest and sleep~~
Day 9(11th march 09, wendesday)
Temperature, same as day 7 and day 8. Omg, today was a taxing day, u will know why i said tat later on. 1stly woke up around 9.10, wash up and went to our 10am class. We were not late okay~ hahas, then we learnt about Characteristics of water for about around 1 hour and watch another movie called "the inconvinient truth". The movie was a great movie, it was about environment issues in the world and how it affects each and everyone of the show! But unfortunately, we watched half way as we have our lunch at 11.30am. During lunch, i ate egg fried rice(4rmb)!!!
It's nice!! Taste like singapore food!! hahas, i love it!! i at last found something that i love to eat =x hahas i think next time if im really hungry, i will buy this, cox this is the oni food i don find it either too saltish or sweet =x
So after eating, we went for our IS class.This time round, we are attending CHINA HISTORY.(mei and xiao chun, now is the history part, hahas last time intro oni=x)
Me and felicia in the lecture hall.
For this history lesson,i slept for 2 hrs listen for 2 hrs-.-"I'm just too sleepy and i cannot stand it and fell asleep! OMG, it was my 1st time falling asleep in class for my history!!(chen rong!! i really fell asleep, don believe ask alan and felicia!!hahas) The reason for me to fall asleep is because China history is simply too difficult to understand!! They have alot of dynasty, which i listen till im quite confused! Adding on to it, i did not have enough sleep then, uncontrollably,my head hit the table and my eyes closed...
The notes for the class. The history of China is very profound, it's interesting, but however, we just had too much things to do and due to the lack of sleep, most of us fell asleep at teaher xiao ling class again, im so sorry for her!! It's not as wat she said she teaches badly and made us feel sleepy, is that we are too tired, her teaching was excellent!! Hope she did read my blog and noe that we all find that she is a great lecturer...
After class, all of us again, except hardy and 2 more? i forgotten who went to eat wif Mr Chong again. This time, we brough Mr Chong to the back alley near WUST for him to try porridge which is cheap and nice (2rmb oni!!) hahas. Sorry, no photos again, cox i did not bring camera along... Mr Chong found the porridge nice!! also, we asked him to buy fried noodles (2.5 rmb) as porridge is not so fullfilling for him. Lastly, we went to bought bubble tea at a black shop whose bubblle tea was very NICE!! We order shi wa nai cha (socking milk tea) for him to try. Mr Chong then commented that the peal was very spongy and very different from singapore, which is very TRUE!! He was very pleased wif the food we recommended to eat!! After we ate, we bought food for hardy again and lastly, we back to our dorms, bath, blogged, double check individual report, send report to Mr Chong and sleep~
Day 10 (12th march 09)
Finally!! I REACHED DAY 10!! Which is the day im in currently! At last im up-to-date!!
Firstly, IT WAS SUPER COLD TODAY!! We all do not noe why, but this was the climate of wu han, the temperature will suddenly fluctuate by 10 degree Celsius!! Today morning was 6 degree and it was very windy!!! I think when the wind blows, it reached 1 or 2 degree, DAMN FREEZING! After asking the local students here, they said that the speed of the wind was magnitude of five
Okay, today i have class at 10am(which is not stated in the timetable, we went for extra classes!!) But nvm, it's okay.In Class, Mr Chong gone through wif us our project for module and show us the remaining part of "the inconvinient truth". Then, after that, we went to eat so call "muslim food". Actually, they oni nv cook wif pork, hahas, no photo taken again, i spent 6rmb on my tomato eggs, yisheng 10rmb on beef, felicia 5rmb on soup and jonathan 6rmb on his cabbage, we then share among our ourselves. Nice meal! We all found the food very good! the tomato eggs was'nt too sweet and the tomato is not too sour either. For the beef, except it was cut too small, the taste was okay, for the soup, it was a bit oily, but overall is fine and lastly for the cabbage, i did'nt eat, as im a carnivorous!!But they said that it a bit spicy, but nice hahas =x
After lunch, went for IS class again. We continued wif our history and some religions in China. I uploaded a few minutes videos of xiao ling teaching.
Actually, i got some comment to say about xiao ling teaching style. She did try to put in effort printing notes for us, giving us as much information as she can. We all can see the effort she put in. But, i assume alot of people slept half way was 1stly, her powerpoints sides has far too many words. I noe she said she did this to benefit us if we plan to read her powerpoint slides later on, but, a powerpoint slides should not be more than 42/49 words and a bullet should not have more than 7 words(which i learnt from a module called Communication toolkit). This is because human brain are very lazy and do not read anything once it exceed these limit. Thus, maybe, she can change the powerpoint to lesser words and compile all the other information into notes and print out for us, like she always like to give us extra information on hard copies. Secondly, learning history can be interesting if she would conduct some games, create a own song/riddle for it to let us remember and listen to her, but however, this would waste alot of her time. Thridly, she mentioned alot of chinese words in the lecture, it is good for chinese students, but the malays and indians totally can't understand wat she is talking about. Thus, maybe, say something more universal thing instead? I do not dare to comment all these to her because i suppose others would tell her this, but nevertheless, these are my comment i would acutally like to tell her when she asked in class how she can improve her class. During the lecture,i also felt bored after 3 hrs as i really cant bothered looking at her slides and i just purely listening to her and doodle on my paper.
opps!! hahas but really kinda bored=x
lastly, Today, we did not went to eat wif mr chong, we settle dinner oursleves.I ate Chao mian,3.5rmb(fried noodles, taste like the hei mian we ate in singapore) sorry no pictures again, as it was too cold for me to take out my camera. Then after that, i went to the local student dorm to have a look. Their dorm is really very different from ours!! See the pictures urself
No toilet
Considered high tech as they also used laptop
5 person in 1 room...
A overview when about to enter from the door. As compared to our dorm(dormitory) ours was way better, i think we are consider VERY fortunate to them. At least we have our own private bathroom, heater to keep us warm and 3 person 1 room... Seems like i can slowly put myself in their shoes...
Lastly they are yellow(on the left) and guy(on the right), the student union.I don noe wat the hell they are doing( why he put his hand in over there?_?) hahas, i took this picture because i wan to ask my sis, the person on the left don look like China rite???? looks like someone we know in singapore!! (Xiao chun, Is It?). After that, i went back to my own warm dorm to bath and blog, till now.
Oh, we are all going to three gorgers from 2molo morning till sunday afternoon/evening like that. Thus, i will not blog for these few days, as the cruise have no reception. Thus, stay tune! (mei, wait for my reflection on day 9 and 10, History neh XP)
Okay, i wil end my 4 days post here!! For day 9 and 10, i shall do the reflection when i returned from 3 gorges. Now i shall do reflection for day 7 and 8.
Reflection for day 7 and 8
Reflection for day 7
-Day 7 was a rather boring day for me, as I have been rushing for my own stuff and project which deadline is nearing.
-For hardy case, I found that the hospital he went, the service there was quite efficient. As they went around 10.30am and reach back around 12 plus. But however, I found out from hardy that he cut queue as the discipline master mother was working there. Thus, he got the privilege to be in front of the queue, not bad. One of China culture, Cutting queues
- Lastly, for my lecture today, we did tutorial 1 worksheet and learnt about units of measurement. For units of measurements, the most important thing I have learn is that mg/L = ppm(parts per million) lastly, for air, we need to find the mole first, then from there, use the formula PV=nRT to find V then we can find ppm. So, that’s all
Refection for day 8
-Day 8 was a less stressful than day 7. Oh no, I can’t believe I use the word “stressful”. But I really did feel the stress. Anyway, the hospital hardy went was brilliant! Initially, hardy needs to stay on bed for 7 days, now, he can walk to class for lesson already! Great healing and medication used!
- What I learnt today was toxicology (which is study of the adverse effects of chemicals on organism). I have learnt in deep of terminology, (e.g. toxicity, LD (lethal dose), LC(lethal concentration)Acute exposure, subacute exposure, subchronic exposure), Toxic metals, Neurotoxins, teratogens, mutagen and carcinogens, Threshold Limit Value(TLV), Dose-Response Relationships, Dose response curve and plant toxicity. After conducting for 2 hours lectures, we watch step up 2 movie!! EXCELLENT MOVIE!
- What I noticed while Singaporeans and China people were playing basketball is that China people have a lot of body contact and Singaporeans will try to have a gap between each other. To say in a more friendly tone, China people played more manly as they dare to have body contact, but, in not a friendly manner, their playing style includes banging of each other. From what I know, Student in China usually play sports during their free time, therefore, I foresee that they are have a very strong basketball skills. I do wish all my friends who are in the basketball competition which is coming real soon good luck!!
- I am still not use to the China food! How?!! Hope to improve over the few days! That’s all!
