Day 41 in Wuhan, the last day that i'll be having in Wuhan

Along the street, I cried when we saw the islamic ramen selling grandma, walking her two grnadsons there before we aboard to bus, we hugged, and farewell and said goodbye with tearful eyes; i'll miss you and your beef ramen, grandma must remember to do exercise every morning and, smile everyday like you usual does

Inside the airport, I cried when I saw Joey and zhen hua cried so much and how they hold their sadness and try to give us a smile before we were leaving to airplane at wuhan tianhe airport; i'll miss you all, so much and appreciate the kindness you all have given us, i miss you all, my friends

Reaching the Singapore, I smiled when I saw my parents were there waiting for me in Changi airport and Mr.Lim Choon Boo and lecturers were there waiting for our flight; i'll appreciate the opputurnity you have given to me to go to this WUST OIP and thank you for letting me be one of the students to join this wonderful and successful Wuhan trip, thank you my lecturers

We saw the grandma from islamic noodle shop there and with her two grandsons

After weigthing our lugggages we are ready to go off! I have to admit that i have probably the heaviest luggages in MDE!hahahh~ i was thinking how to pull that bulky things down to stairs, and luckily Rand was there and helped me carry that lugguage down haha~ thanks lot to him~

Outsidethe tian he airport we were all busy taking our last photos

Finally this is the final photo that we have!!goodbye but not farewell bye everyone!!! I'll miss you all!!so much!!!!!

IN the end of the day, we reached SIngpaore CHangi airport and saw many lecturers and our parentws there waiting long fro us!! Finally! I AM HOME!!!

Finally this is the last day we have in Wuhan, our last day that we are to stay in Wuhan. I hope you will read through every single I have written here, because I will have no chance to write more on my Wuhan blog. I am speechless now because I scare I will cry again; those wonderful moments in Wuhan are like having dreams, a sweet sweet dream. Now, I am back to my normal life having in Malaysia and going to school in Singapore. Those wonderful memories in Wuhan shall keep in my mind and remain in my heart, until when I get old, and tell my grandsons on my very first time taking on airplane, the first country I aboard to have my holiday, the first China gang of friends I have in Wuhan.

We have gone through so many processes and activities in Wuhan, every of them are memorable. We have been to Wudang mountain, where my Hashanah, Nadiyah, Xinhui and my group leader Wei guang have given me that much of moral supports to get me to the peak of Wudang. Thank you my friends, and I am missin’ you all… We have been to there three gorges dam, where we appreciate the beauty of architect in China. We have been to Shen Nong Xi, where I saw people pulling the boat by rough strings (la qian) and how they sweat to earn their livings. We have been to Lulin resort, where the water fall clam my mind and a historical place record the Lulin qi yi, the fights of farmer against unfair. We have been to industry on steel making and fibre optic making, we witness the process of steel making and it leaves vibration to me. We have been to Jian Er shopping centre almost in every day because it simply too nearby to our WUST campus. We have been to so many KTVs and birthday parties, we played wildly, we played crazily, and we enjoyed out our time in Wuhan.

We have been to so many places, and we leaved our footprints there; we record ourselves inside pictures, we take down our reflections in blogging, we phone called to parents for not worry them, we played everyday super wild for not wasting every minutes we have in Wuhan. We enjoy the moments and all the moments we have in Wuhan. I believe every peer in WUST OIP batch 2 are having fun as everyone does; I hope you enjoy this trip too. We enjoyed, we played, we learnt.

How many things I have learnt during the trip in wuhan? I can’t count it out, I learnt a lot during this wuhan trip, I have learnt to be more independent, more determine, more cheerful. I wash my own clothes, I make good communicate with the laundry lady boss, I know every kind of vendors and every affable lady boss make business with me while I am shopping, I learn to talk some Wuhan local language, I make many friends in and out of WUST school, I smile every day, I am bubbly and bring happiness to people surrounding me, I sleep late and woke up late, I played badminton with joey, ye ye, lu lu, zheng hua after class, I have my lunch in Islamic beef noodle almost everyday, I learn to have good time management to finish my task beyond deadline, I learn how hard it is to juggles studying while playing, I learn to be humble and respect the others, most importantly,

I learnt to treasure every friends I have in during Wuhan and learnt to love the others.
I remember the mostly on the Wudang trip, I have been through those hard processes and able to reach the peak, it is all because of my friends are holding my hands, talking and giving me encouragement, teaching me how to step the stairs and climbed the mountain, and giving me love with warmth form friendship and it touches me. Thanks to you all again… Thanks for having you all along this trip, or I’ll just be nothing and never reach the peak.

I remember the first day in wuhan and first time I saw Joey and lu lu in airport, we just reached from Wuhan Tian He airport, we were then in the bus on the way to WUST campus, they were sitting behind of me, and joey was chatting to me and she tried hard to communicate with me in English and get my china hand phone number; from the first day and until many fun we have here with local students and till the day we gone off again from Wuhan Tian He airport. So much fun and joy we had together with all the kind, nice, excellent wuhan local friends, joey, lu lu, ye ye, zheng hua, zhang pei, ice, xiao lin, zi yang, annie, kiki, amy, Kathie, queenie, Jason, zhou yu, fire, rocco, guy, and many more

Thanks for giving us such wonderful memories we had together, and I miss you all..
There is so much of memories I have in wuhan, and I will remember every kindness that everyone has given to me. Thank you.

The first NE message
Singapore is our homeland, I have purposely post this NE message as in the last post, after leaving home for so long, I have learn to be appreciate my time with families, and appreciate stable and comfortable life that my country bring to me. We will have to get back our homeland no matter how far or how long we have went out from our homeland. But I have to say that my homeland is at Malaysia, haha I’m from Malaysia, I have my parents at there, I have my childhood at there, I have education there, and, I have my home in Malaysia. Form this wuhan trip I have learn to be respect everyone from different country and culture background, I hope one day everyone in this world will learn to accept and respect the others as well. Here is our homeland, no matter we are Singaporean or Malaysian or Chinese people, we must all learn to be grateful to our homeland, and get back home, in the end of the day. May Buddha my God bless everyone I have know and bless them to have a bright future with lucks and happiness.

However, we have to go. 天下无不散之筵席 I hope in one day i will come back here, wuhan again, and appreciate what we have done here and how those wonderful memories made me laugh even in sleeping

After packing lugguages, I went out for the veyr last minutes shopping

And meeting those nice poeple being very nice to me.....

They have tought me to be more interactive with people, good bargaining skills and given me warmth while i was lost

The HOnggu Cow leather flag shop. That is somewhere nearby JIan Er Shopping centre and in the beginning of our OIP trip, i spoted a beautiful leather purse for my sis, but it was taken and sold off when the next time i wanna buy it!! The promoter Zhang told me that, she remember me so much because i impress her by such passionate, talkative and bubbly Singapore students hahhha~ That is how i make up so so so many friends with business people in wuhan.

This is the girl that i have bought my grandma's 布鞋 shoes from her, the 老北京布鞋店 (lao bei jing bu xie shoes shop) that situated opposite of Macdonald in JIan Er. She has her studies on the english course and procced to level 7 of the china english certified level! THat is quite similar ILTS we have here, after all, she is a kind and good lady that let me stay over a while at her shop, waiting for rain stop, and my others local friend to arrive there too

The 知足cow leather and customize made of shoes selling shop. (zhizu, statisfying) This is the Zhu da ge and ZHu da sao that i have mention in earlier/after post. That day was a raining day, the second last day in wuhan, i met them because i was lost somewhere a round JIan er and i can't find my way back.

I polititely went in this shop and asked them how to go back WUST, and how surprise is that we continue chatting fro a long while and they make me feel warm. They are common citizens in wuhan like the others, living very simply and watching TV as their amusement after dinner. I walked so much under rainning day untill my white paints get very very muddy, wet and dirty, but you know what zhu da ge nad zhu da sao have treated me well?

They gave me a glass of hot water, bring out the small chairs, and come out with some 瓜子 on top of it and we chat long. THIS GREAT GREAT LOVE I EVER HAVE IN WUHAN. They made me felt touched and it was such cold and wet weather on that day, a simple glass of hot water warm up my whole body.

I thank God fro letting me to meet that couples, they don't have small children, i hope and pray that someday they will get one beautifull baby and adopt some kind little children. Thank God my Buddha and may them will be blessing with many little kids as they wish

Zhu da ge and zhu da sao pack the gua zi 瓜子 up and let me bring it back to home, it is still lying in my living halls now! we note bear to finish that guachi!!!

Not to mention this, but ZHu da ge even accompany me to find the cow leather bag that i wanna fro mummy and we bought a lo tlot of things here~ mom's pretty bleza, the two lantents haging now at my homedoor, some water chestnut sell along the street, and done almost all our shopping

After that, Zhu da ge helped me to take the photo on me and the laundary ah yi!!! She is a veyr nice person to me, nagging us to wear more while weather turn cold, asking us you take lunch lliao ma, teaching vivian and me how to choose a good cow leather bag, and i appreciate her kindness so much.... 小鹿洗衣店的老板娘, talk good to her and you will gian many more things back, love, kindness, warmth, and friendships...

Everyday morning, or very late night, after i have my breakfast and dinner i'llbe going to this shop!!! 森威the cake and baking shop!!! I am so good with them untill lulu and joey said 哇, 你们真的混得很熟！hahah~ that's pretty correct!!! I am very good with the lady boss's son too!

They even gave me a loaf of my favourite choco oat bread!!! in hot!!!

hehehe~ from left is that good, nice and pretty lady boss, to me nad to her husband!! They made out many our orders on baketball cakes fro miaAAng birthday, snooker desk cakes fro LSCT friends' birthday, the three layer cakes for our WUST farewell party!!! That sharpened the boss' skill on making cakes!!

At tonight i went to have our final gathering with them and small chat, he told me that he never make out before on such challenging cake baking like what we have ordered from him. Before i leave that place, he and his wife told me that we, OIP student batch two from Singapore leave them a very memorable, wonderfull and sweet memories, and not to forget till their son grow up or they are old.

THIS IS HOW SINCERITY CONNECTS PEOPLE AND TOUCHES THIER SOUL

we will never forget you all too..... thanks you for everybody being that nice to us, and we shall keep going on our journey and not ot forget anyone of you

Lastly, here is the place that i spend most of my lunch time, my dinner and my supper here, the 清真拉面店 Islamic remen noodle selling shop. The grandma was so nice to us, and they will always know i'll order beef remen again, soup or fried noodles; i'll never forget how heavenly taste they make the remen and cook on spot, in hot and fragrance from spices, it is NICE and i am such addicted to it

The grandson of this islamic ramen shop, he is the cute one and has the bright smile that wins everybody's heart

THe only sons of the young boss here, he has a smart and fast thinking head that will surprise you with something. THey are cousins and together~ they are all so cute~~MUCkss!!miss you all!!

THe mother on the left, her little son, her little nephew, xinui and nadiayh~yeeAH!

Ah~ dont cry dont cry~ we meant no harm!! Her son was crying and afraid of cameras@ or afraid of xinhui? heheheh~

At last we have taken our last photo with this ramen selling family, that young lady boss is a pretty and kind person, she even wanna treat us fro our 'last dinner' there! But still this is our last dinner we have to pay ourselves and remark that we had our last dinner HERE in wuhan

I had my very last minutes shopping at here, and today, how I appreciate that I met so many kind people along the way in Wuhan. I now know a lot lots of people, in Wuhan, the kind local people telling me which direction to go back WUST campus, the kind lady boss chat with us so much and give me good pricing, the kind friends I have met in Wuhan school…. They are all very nice person and very good friends that we have met in Wuhan,

thank for bringing us a lot of wonderful memories, thank for giving us heart warmming friendships, thank for giving us love.

DAY 39 - FAREWELL PARTY AND HAPPYEEE BIRTHDAY ROCCO!

2009-04-10T12:14:00.000-07:00

Day 39 in wuhan

ah, this reminds on 'card captor Sakura'!! Look at that wing i like it so much! It is like lively out form comic! We will pass by this everytime we are out of WUST and heading to han zheng/si men kou or anyplace in Han Kou city!

TOday you know what happen?? After the tiring overnight KTV singing, pei jie and I went back to the si men kou and bought our 'nesacceries', it was actually we like those dress and shoes so much and we decided to go there agian and faster finish buying!

heheheh~ However, we ended up shopping even more and crazy in si men kou!! We can't go computer city and buy our hardisk and MP3 becasue we spent too much time shopping here. THat is the 石头记 that i've bought yellow jade bracelet fro my aunt.

We munst learn to be gratefull and repay those people helped you, my aunt let me stay over her place for about a week, taking care on me and i have great lunch and dinner at her home, in Seranggon. OIP trip need our passport to do visa and i can't get back home because my passport not with me, and i have to stay at relative home. Thank you Mr.wong for delay my passport hand-in date and thank you aunt for homestaying~

I went deeper in se men kou and bought this jeans! I was actually done all the shopping but lin pei couldn't find her things and more pretty shoes, never mind! Next time we shall shop from dawn till night and go 5 different places to find your ' i like i like i like' things!

After that, we went to this shop called 回首再来包包店？hehe i have forgotten on the name, it is situated very nearby to our school at jian er!

THis lady boss is a very nice and kind lady. She actually plan to go with her friends, an agent, to singapore and some small business on bag selling in singapore. However, i feel that she knows little on how Singapore is and her eyes look blank. She said to me that, her friends required on 12000 yuan of money fro travelling to SIngpaore and have small business there. BUt how is the coverage of 12000? Accomodation, food, insurance, shop rentals, or just be pasar malam vendors? HOw is the business plan on going SIngapore and have business? She know nothing about that and i recomand (should be persuading) her not to go and that fellow is not RELIABLE at all.

LAdy boss she never been to singapore, and she really knows nothing on Singapore, there was totally a stranger for her and she was just overheard on how good how best to start business in SIngapore and yet she can't tell me how is the law of starting business at there or where exactly the location you wanna have your business. Besides that, she has no connections and no support in Singapore, where to find help if you meet some trouble? 中国驻新加坡大使馆吗？They can the mostly send you back china but not pay you what you have loss. Luckily, she is just in consideration on going there, or without proper knowledge and skills I am totally not with her for going to have business in Singapore, not even 摆地摊呢

From today's trip, i 'm really think of that there are a lot of 'agent' like that mention above, finding simple and naive local business people and try to earn some form them. How phathetic it is when i realise people fault use the good name of Singapore. People in China must be smart and careful and watch out your freinds/relative/local bosses around you and give them proper knowledge on starting business in Singapore, analysis the background of the agent, and think twice before you throw your money there.

Farewell party~

hehheeh! yeEEAAHHHH~ we are READY!!! Finally we are ready to go to the farewell party that we have with our WUST local friends!!hahahah~ arrh so happy!

Firstly we have out chairman of this WUST international school, course logistic management of chairman, Fire! Here to give us a talk! Our Mei yi from LSCT be his translator and translate his words in english!

Finally~ Thisi our great~great~great~great~ photos taking on our great friends~!!! bright smile hashanah, eating ice-cream zee min, pretty smile xinhui, kawai smile Nadiyah, and pig smile wEi guanG~

We went to the third WUST campus at Zhong Nan road, Wuhan, where our ECE ( the Aerospace guys, they call it hehehe~) branch of WUST OIP students are there having their lectures and accommodations there. Their school campuses are new, well furnished, very very far from city and they can’t hang out for shopping like us after school. But compared to them, I feel that our hostels are inferior and really nothing! haha~ But I still like our old, and warmth campus, our WUST Qing Shan campus! Here is much more better and lovely than theirs! Because of our entire local friend from WUST international school are all here! Make us happy and accompany us to play and enjoy every day!haha~ miss u all so much~ mucks!

Although this is a one day leadership camp day, it made me found something that very useful today. We have gone firstly to build up a team, play and make tank conveyor belt, flying fox, trust fall, and rock climbing. During the process of making the tank ‘conveyor belt’ by newspaper, I have finally gone through a process called what is a leader and how teamwork is to make us win.

We never choose a proper leader but to select randomly on one of the ECE friend as our team leader. However in the process of making the newspaper tanker conveyor, Sebestian, one of the new friend from ECE he was the one actually giving off commands and coordinate the process of making the newspaper. I cheer and I believe he is the one made us well coordinated. We became so united while we were doing that newspaper shit thing. The newspaper is easily tear and Sebestian came out the idea on folding the paper, we all lied down the newspaper on floor the adjust the length of tank belt we needed, and I count the pieces of newspaper we needed, then we all started folding the paper. Clive then came out idea on folding the sides of paper to make it firm, the others use stone to not let the paper fly above with wind, and hold up, fold, and join the newspaper tank belt, and then we made it. Champion! We are the first group that runs to final line! WE ARE THE CHAMPION!! OUR NEWSPAPER STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EVEN AFTER THE COMPETITION!HAHAH!

Sometime the leader must not to overtaking your peers and take control on everything, today, because we don’t even have a ‘strong proper leader’, WE ARE ALL GIVEN A ROOM ON GIVING OFF IDEAS AND DELVELOP OUR VERY OWN LEADSHIP. Everybody’s suggestion will be taken easily and nobody is showing off and taking control. We need strong leader on providing us the direction, method and lead us to success, he must take control on things, or the team will be weaken and loosen; however, today, because nobody is taking the actual leader role, I could see more people showing their talents and contribute to this game.

Compared to the others group, I observe that xiang yu’s group has little people in leading them to produce the newspaper conveyor belt, as from an outsider view, I can’t see who is their leader, and they looked slightly listless compare to our hyper energetic group. On the other hand, I could see Xin Hui’s group (LSCT friend) she is leading her peers to go on and the group focus is actually on her. This is a game showing on how you are going to make your peers united and give off full power from every member, work together and produce the outcome as required. However, those are all my personal observation that I’ve found among this game, no comment or harm oh my dear

Everybody is contributing to the whole process, we divide our job our very own and everybody coordinate together and do job together and though there is no clear instruction by any leader, we somehow know how to do and, I saw people’s talent trough this process. This is a great thing isn’t? I saw the people’s potential and talent and they way they will lead the people to work together, sometimes observing others on how they show their leadership or strengths we will learn a lot too!

NOT TO FORGET! UNITED! IT IS UNITED AND STRONG DETERMINATION MADE US THE CHAMPION! LONG LIFE THE ‘TEAMMERS’!!

Besides of that, i must mention that, after this rocks cllimbing activities I have found out how weak am i in getting good wills and perseverance. Rock climbing expose my weakness, much a lot

HOwever, from this activities i have learn a new skill! THat is i know to learn to wear this rock climbing safety gears, how to wear it, in a correct manner, adjust the belts in steps, and perform safety check-up, thanks you Jun Jie coach and Sebestian for teaching me all the knowledges!! hahah~ and i have been helping out our girls putting on the belts!

I have realized that I have very weak wills and weak determinations through and from the rock climbing games. Am I that weak? I will backup and train myself more on it then. I will go to rock climbing again, no matter how, I will go. My level of determinations and perseverance are zero percent, I have to do something on it right? Rock climbing, thanks for exposing my weakness. You have let me found out and realized where is my weakness. hahah, thanks God and luckily I have been though this game, or I will never where am I gone wrong recently. Rock climbing is really a very good sport, like how Lin Pei said to me,” It is not the matter on your hand can’t reach the stone! That is not the problem and you can reach that stone!” Yet, I failed her, I fell down and in the end I still can’t reach that stone and climb to the higher.

Mei yi, a friend from LSCT she even tried on second time on this rock climbing, and this time, she climbed even higher. She told me she is weak in sports, and yet she made it twice and reached higher. A Strong person with good wills and great determination, she made me think of where is my level of wills? She is an excellent girl, 我真的服了她啊

Today is really a great day, it makes me learn a lot of things; it let me found how weak am I in sports, and how deteriorating am I since I came into polytechnic.

The sixth NE messages
We have confidence in our future. United, determined and well prepared, we shall build a bright future for ourselves. WE ARE ALL CONFIDENCE ON OURSELVES! WE ARE WELL PREPARED, READY, AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR FUTURE! Through this game I have found that everybody will have their strengths and weakness. The point is how you are going to do to get rid of your weakness and enhance your abilities. We shall build up a bright way to our bright future, we shall! Our good future is waiting for if you are willing to pay off hard work from now, believe in yourself, and train yourself to be harder and strong, and you ensure a bright future!

DAY 35 - I TOUCH THE STALACTITE

2009-04-06T07:02:00.000-07:00

Day 35 in Wuhan
IN the early morning after i woke up, i saw this shop and found that their title on name was very meaningful 桃花源 the place where cheery blossoms are having here do they mean 世外桃源 then? The air in the morning is fresh and comfortable~

we are on the way climbing mountian in Lulin, jia yu~ jia yu~

heheheh~ Mr.Loh are you frightening on the height of mountain?? But no matter what we must be very careful on our steps and dont run here and there hor~walk slowly~ like our dearest teacher here~

We then ahead to the 茅庐, an old house that build up very long time ago

I like this photo a lot!!! I like I like I like~ (copy from pei jie's golden word). This is a tian men, whre it made up naturally by rocks and looked like a chinese character 人 and it looks llike a grand, giant gate for me (ggg)

heheheh~ this is Nadiyah~say cheese~!!!I miss you all so much.....ah, look at the stairs, it was pretty dangerous and it could be made up 80' degree angle of slanding!Careful on steps!!

I;m in front of the poem that written by a scholar

Lin pei and I standing on the chess that made up by stone!
\

Every girl sin MDE~ yeaahH~ Everybody looke nice in this photo! i like it so much!!!

My modal of the day, lin pei jieeeee!! Reaching up for sky! We were in the 'caves' and needed to pass though it and veyr quickly i asked lin pei to post one for me

This is me resting on chairs and treasure out our time, photo grabbers~!!!come come take more photos!

Who like this photo raise up you hand~!!! Lin pEi smiled so nice~ and beautiful~

here is 绿林山南兵寨遗址, where it is the place happen the 绿林起义, the fammers stand up and against the unfair and it remind me on how the poeple endure and suffer from wars and fights

hahah~ we had a great time on top of this hill, the scenery was totally different when you climb up and have some moments sitting on grass, enjoying the height of mountain

This is Zhang Hao,, our dearest tour guide! Our bus left us and went away, zhang hao then lead us to that hills and we were standing/sitting around him and listen to him on briefting history of lulin!

I've been to lulin, i am here, i am!

We just arrive our next visit, the stalactite caves, it is sunny day outside but pretty cool inside the caves

here it is!!! The thousands years old stalactite!!! THat's they call the lily buds!

Beautiful as oil painting...HTat is real and reflex the innner view in the caves

How sad it was when i saw somebody used sharp item to leave their "footprints" in the stalactite caves. They drew messages on top on a hundreds years of rocks!!Did they ever realise that? That is foolish! YOu can never have stalactite easily and yet people spoil the precious things

Reflection on water, this is the most beautiful photos that i am able to shot in the caves

I found that I am really not good in sports and I have bad stamina. Climbing the mountain of lu lin area is small and nothing compare to Wudang mountain, and yet it made me very exhausted! I think I have to backup myself with more sports training! Today we have been to the stalactite caves! Yeaahh!!!Mom!!! I been to the place like how you have been before~ hahaha~ I love mummy and daddy~ mucks~!! That is really nice visit that I never expect that I will go to touch and witness how stalactite is!

Stalactite they are all formed thousands or millions years ago, today, I have really learned something that we must treasure and preserve our resources well. I feel really sorry when i seen some manmade destroy the beautiful sstalactite. China government has imposed laws to protect their mountain and forest well. I remember last time when we go to the wudang mountain, I can see there is a lot of banners or posters stood up and stated not to smoke or having lights/fire on in forest, throw your rubbish to recycle bin, and every recycle bin there will be some golden words printed on top, care of your forest, be careful on climbing stairs, do not liter the place and so on. We must really take care of our resources and protect it, or your grandsons will never have a chance to witness the art of natural.

Although Singapore do not have that much resources or natural forming, Singapore people must learn to responsible on taking care of what they already have and making their environment a greeny and comfortable one. This I believe is how the Singapore people can do in action to love their country well =)

DAY 34 - HOW IS THE MOONLIGHT IN LU LIN SHANG ZHUANG THE RESORT

2009-04-05T06:59:00.000-07:00

Day 34 in Wuhan

This is how it happen.... .....I droppped my little purple purse bag into the streame!!! Loook at it~ It is all wet~ Remember that we must all be careful when are accross river or sea, don't drop your things on hand!!! Be careful and careful and don't end up like me ya!

THat day rand was beside of me, i was trying a take a pretty photo shoot to let my daddy see, after trying many time finally i get that photo! But at the moment i wanna get up, i dropped my purple purse into streame! I was like so shocked and shouted "oh, my bag!my bag!" hahah~

When i wanna get down the water and pick it, the tour guide, zhang hao, he came and jump into water to take my bag! Luckily the water is shallow or i'll just tell him forgot the purple bag! He really surprise me and thanks thanks lot to him, i get things back... REally thank you so much, you are a good good nice tour guide i ever seen haha! Mostly people will stay there and look but zhang hao jump into that streame without hestistation, this surprise me and it make me realise how rare it is to have such nice person in this world

Thank you Zhang hao~!!

This is the photo that i wanna shot for daddy, I feeEL the streame water!How nice it is to touch and feel the water~hahah~ That is refrehsing, cool, and crystal clean of water! I love it so much

I'm standing among flowers~ beautiful backgound and beautiful pictures

Ben fell down, and again, be careful and careful while you are travelling! Careful on your belongings and careful while you are walking! Ben got injured when he stepped back and there was on a hole behind of him, i watched him fall down and that makes me worried

After all, Ben get first aid help from xy's little medical box, and we all continue our journey! Here we are on the way to waterall and taken a lot of pictures with stones and streames~

Group photo on my peers~ ta, wei guang and xin hui!!! So where was i? I was busying drying up my purple bag hahahhahaha~

People are busy taking photos and i quickly shot this, when i saw meng zhen sitting on there and smiling very naturally~

very cool and dashing post~ ahhahah~ i like myself look to be more tougher! thanks for winson who take this photo for me!

What are they doing? They take off their shirt and feel the coolness of waterfall, the water falls from top, that impact force is so hard that actually you can get wet when you get closer to that waterfall

Let's enjoy the moment~ arRh~ How refreshing it is~ Those are my LSCT friends, left KUmar, Jeremy, and JOnathan

This is me infront of the waterfall, heehhehe~NAdiyah~mucks~thanks fro taking this photo fro me!

These guys take off their shirt again with Mr.Loh and shoot photos half-naked with water fall haha~ wu liao

this is my shoes~ yeah! i have been to lulin resort!

THis is Zhang hao the tour guide shoes~ yeah! He has been good tour guiding us!You are a good tour guide!haha!

A little 'water fall' in between the mei ren chi and yuan yang chi

Can you imagine that is a root of a tree? Which hundreds years older than me?? that is really extraordinary experience on touching it

super niCE NIEW in the lulin resort

Very aggresive water falls form the top and along the waterfall

After visiting the waterfall we went to throw stone along the 小溪边, rand very good in that! He can throw the stone and make it jump jump jump up many times@ ~sad~why i cant? cehh!

Villages in lulin and they feed bees, pigs, chickens and they owned the mountain and land that pass from generation to generations

MUshroom~mushroom~i like mushroom~ Wonder how it taste like when my nanny cook that in 'hor yok'?? hahah! HOr yok, is a famous Hainanese dishes that cook pork with mushroom plus soy sauce, ah, this village can provide me every material on that

At night we have our dinner and a nice welcome from local for attending a campfire celebration

Before the campfire start, i need to go back to my hotel room and put down my stuff and together with Nadiyah's bag too, and you know what? That street was super DARk~ You can't see your five fingers there and you soak yourself under darkness. Luckily Zhang hao, the tour guide take me back to our hotel or i think i'll get lost (heheh, i'm super bad in directions ) I've found that during this trip to Lulin resort Zhang hao has been helping a lot, on the way there we are chatting and he tell me that he graduated from university and study on logistic, like most of us too, but why he become a tour guide? Too many reasons on that, but he was just new and two months experience of being a tour guide, surprise again

Along the way he told me that there were no street lights and that was very common at here. IN our city, we have well facilities and street lights everywhere. That never tell me on something, people afraid of darkness but there is still moonlight! I enjoyed the journey back to campfire so much because, i soaked myself under the moonlight! I looked sliver blue, outstanding the darkness, under the soft nad gentle moonlight it guide me back to our place; moonlight made me feels good. It clam my mind and i never realise how is the feeling of moonlight shinning towards me. that was a nice experience.....

Back to that campfire we saw people were doing performance. The Performers piggyback an old man, and stepping on knives. scary~

finally, Clive is on stage singing 'kiss goodbye'! We are all down there support him! whoOO~ and This draw a wonderful end of the day!

We went to the famous Lulin resort, 绿林山庄, that around 3 hours of driving almost drive us crazy, the driver keep horning all the way! I rather him singing loud in bus or just the people sitting beside me snoring loud. The horn is like hundred times of continuously horning and it makes me non-stop staring to the ceiling and dreaming with my eyes opening. I can’t sleep at all!!!!oh my!!!! Rand has a new buy earpiece with him, Xiang Yu has a MP3 listening form his hand phone and I have nothing not even a cotton to cover my ears.

Out of curious, I went and asked the driver why he was horning, all the way, he said to me that he needs to ‘cut’ the front driver and drive fast, so that we can reach that lulin resort on time. Cutting queue or cutting driving way is very dangerous and he needs to use horn to give alert to others drivers. “I’m passing by you! Give way to me!”, ok, I get it. hahaha
We have been to the waterfall, visit small village and having campfire welcome by them. However, I would like to give of my reflexes on the people in the village. The village people they are producing on fresh mushroom, feeding bees, and chickens or pigs. But out of my expectation, they are all rich!

The people in that village they are all very rich people! China is very different country from what you have seen maybe in 30 years ago ( if viewers you are born before that haha ). China is advanced, highly potential, talented and a country now implied with high technology, the Wuhan city we have been visiting is a developing city, the Shanghai or Beijing is a metropolis or giant modern city that we can never have in Singapore. That place is huge, and millions of people rush to Shanghai and Beijing to join their prosperous and fit into a developing China people. The tour guide told me that, don’t look down on their housing or bad furnishing, they owned the land, and they owned the mountain, they can have herbs or lands to develop, their sons are all outside of the city and doing big business with their resources they owned. They are people smart on using what they have, but satisfied on what they have earned.

Not every village is that isolated and lousy as how we the city kids think of. Here, they are all richer than us. Because they have land and mountain of resources that pass from generation to generation but we don’t have. We owned a high standard of livings, we do not own the resources that worth pass from generation to our great grandson.

However, that Zhu da ge, that I mention in earlier blog post, who is making customize leather boots ( I ordered cow leather boots from him too! in super cheap price!) His wife zhu da sao is from a poor village and she has been living in 半山腰的村子， living in village around middle height of mountain, they are poor people that very hard to get water; they eat potatoes as their lunch and with no dinner, and they eat rice only when new year. They are suffering from cool winter every year and need to burn woods to get warmth. That is really poor people, and she said to me that, those villages opening for visiting is much more nicer and better than the real village around mountain area.

The sixth NE message
No one owes Singapore a living. We must find our own way to survive and prosper. Trough the lulin resort of visiting and how Zhu da Sao describe her village to me, I have found that we, have to find our own way to get prosper and survive in this competitive world. You, how are you are going to fight and work hard for yourselves to get a better life? Education is one of the ways to backup yourself with knowledge and skills, and to get you the bright way of earning a good life. You can have many choices other than having a good education, you can run a business if you have capitals, you can go travel and look onto the world and earn your pocket money by part-time jobbing, no matter how, you are responsible for your own life, and you are the one who is to be persevered, fight, and survive for your own life.

DAY 33 - CHEONGSAM SHOPPING IN HAN ZHENG STREET

2009-04-04T06:56:00.000-07:00

Day 33 in Wuhan

The cheongsam selling shop that we spotted in Han Zheng Street and spend almost our whole day there. This families are travelling from Hang Zhou to here and started their cheongsam selling business in Wuhan. Their cheongsam are all from hang zhou and some of them are form factory while some of them are customized made.

This is xiao lin who is wearing the cheongsam, threee of us tried our cheongsam in fitting room~and the effects/outcomes of wearing cheongsam..... are super nice.

Cheongsam 旗袍, is a very tradisional chinese wearing dresses, it is usually to wear in special occasion like grand dinner or during chinese new year. When i am at home my mummy ask me to get a cheongsam at wuhan but i refuse to, out of expectaction i got a cheongsam! I think i'll never wear it infront of people too~ haha.. Cheongsam has very fit cutting, and you will never know how nice a girl wearing a cheongsam until you see her by your real eyes... When i came out from fitting room, everybody was "woW~", and i really really never expect i'll be looking nice in cheongsam. It shows your figures well and that elagance cheongsam will make a women even women. NO wonder in past time, the chinese women used to wear cheongsam and love these pretty dress.

Girls must get a nice cheongsam once in their lifetime, you won't regret on it, and the effects on wearing cheongsam on you will make you a totally different looking girl

heheh~ this 'rabbit' very cute right? Thanks for her, she has been helping us to take a lot of pictures in cheongsam haha!

THis is vivian who smile very brightly and happily, very natural looking

This is xiao lin who is holding her book and reading

THis is me who is looking outside towards you..

Today is a raining day, xiao lin, me, after KTV singing and together with Vivian we went to the famous han zheng street. However, due to the bad and cool and wet weather, we didn’t really shopping that much in hanzheng street. The weather is around 10’c!! Oh my!! The sunny days we had in past few days seems went off and recently we were walking in the rain, and slept under thick thick blanket. We need to take 1 hour bus ride by the bus 702, go across the bridge of Yangtze river to Hankou city, and friendly ask the driver to inform us where is han zheng haha~ Actually most of our OIP peers been to hanzheng street! But I was just no spare time to go there! I really wondered what I was doing while in the past few days! ahahha~ hanging out with local friends too much~

Due to heavy rain, we never have our shopping much in the ‘real han zheng street’. It was there like a cheap selling clothing street, with many small and compact shops, selling on super cheap pricing blouse/dress from 20 yuan to 60 yuan. That place is a heaven of training your bargaining skill, don’t ever believe the lady boss if they said they have all fixed price and can’t bargain. However, some local people name the product as low quality product and some clothes will be good in looking but not really suitable on wearing. ahha~ Xin hui the friend from LSCT she bought a lot super cheap blouse at that place~ haahha~

Han zheng is too big in area and size and Zhu Da ge, a local cow leather the customize boots selling boss told me that we, unfamiliar the han zheng, very hard to get to that centre place selling on many cheap, wholesale, and good quality products, most of the businessman around China get their products from Han Zheng!! Han zheng is really a big place!!Super super big place for China clothing wholeselling and others small business boss! Must choose the right clothes in bargain in proper price, 一分钱一分货吧，you paid for what you deserve to receive! I will suggest skinny girls have their clothes there~

We went in a Bai Ma super big and cheap selling shopping molls, because the heavy raining spoilt my shopping moods la~ CEH~ Xiao lin is extraordinary good in bargaining, and she manage to bargain a 180 yuan of long dress for me till 50 yuan, oh my, you are great arh!! We have been acting here and there, and best way of bargain is to cut the priced half while you first bargain, talking very determinedly, talk politely, then walk away, act to walk away then the lady boos will chase out and give you the appropriate price, hahah~

Super fun in the art of bargaining~

Nice teamwork with xiao lin and get the price we wanna~ ahahh~ FUnn~

NO matter how, Mr.wong teach us don’t bargain too hard until the lady boss suffer from losses, “ We are not shorten on that 20 bucks, but they need 20 bucks for earning livings”, sometimes if the bosses get to earn slightly higher from you/you willing to give off good price to them, the local business people will be happy till the whole day, I earn slightly more 10 bucks today! I think someday and somewhere we can actually bringing happiness to people by doing some little insignificant things. If that lady boss/boss is sincere and worth of giving off her a better price, why not let her earn some little more for her day?

I remember I read an email a few months ago, that mister is thinking of how to make the people surrounding him happy, he bring happiness to the people around him; he chat with the fruits hawkers, he talk to small business people, and don’t take advantages on people, he buy vegetables and fruits from small vendors and never take back the small change/remaining coins. “oh, no, you can just keep the remaining, your carrots are fresh sweet and worth it!” he said this, the small vendors are so surprise of having this customer, shake head and said no, no, he must give back him the remaining money, or will you just take more 2 tomatoes? Come, come, and take more 2 tomatoes from me, why you are not taking back your coins? People are calculating on how many coins that the vendors lack of giving them, taking advantage on putting more carrots in their pockets, but you delights me by your good attitude! That mister continues doing this to vegetable vendors, fruits vendors, socks selling vendor, but what he has gained back? He gets back home with more garlic, more carrots and more tiny little needles. What else he has gained back? He gained more on friendships, trustworthy, and passionate when the next time he go to stall and buy. This is how 10 bucks make a different for you, are you money minded? Are thinking of that is that 10 bucks bringing that mister with love and friendships? haha, that’s depend on how wide and deep thinking that you can have, how wide is your generosity and how is your way on handling with people in love. How big is your heart?

Me and the family of the cheongsam selling shop

Today I did learn something, learn to be humble and generous, learn to bring happy to the people surrounding you, and this will make your day brighter

DAY 32 - RELEASE MY EMOTIONS

2009-04-03T06:54:00.000-07:00

Day 32 in Wuhan

I bought this along the street to JIan Er shopping centre!! Mommy~ I bought this big sofa cover fro our home!! It will be looking nice on our sofa haha~

This is the nice lady that i have met her, she is polite and we have been chatting all along the way until vivian get inrritates for waiting me :p she recomend me on that sofa cover, good in quality and nice looking, hundred and twenty bucks on buying that, worth! SDG 30! For a hand made sofa carpet cover!

We were so hungry that we went straight away to Macdonald to fill our stomach first before we went to shopping, lazy to go far away, we shall just shop around and nearby our WUST school!

heheh~ my macdonald lunch with vivian scary nails! a hamburger, a fries, and a milo cause me arond 20 bucks

Nice street view, and today we have little raining in Wuhan, there are less poeple in the street and less cars

I am posting my macdonald fries to the Fa Yuan Di the hair saloon place!

Very cute little girl looking through the windows and what are you thinking my dear?

I saw some army poeple were pulling the wire cable/ppipes from ground and fixing it

~anND DINNERRR~!! At late evening we have a great dinner!! Dinner cooked by Xiang YuuUUU!!! WhoOOOOO~ He is really a nice guy!!!! hahah~ We even have some KTVs singing after eating!

At night then i went to KTV with xiao lin and zhang pei. This is the huan le tian di KTV, we have to wait untill 11.30p.m to take the overnight singing till the dawn at 5.00a.m, FUN! That place need 15 minutes taxi ride and it is very nearby to our school, dont worry~

We have ordered a 豪华中厢, the medium luxuries room and it cost me about RMB 100. Besides that the food at there are mostly 10 yuan more expensive than how you can found in wal-mart.

A potato chips will cost your 15 yuan!! A bottle of blueberry drinks will cost you 18 yuan! Which comapre to 8 yuan in supermart, 欢乐天地this KTV here will charge you 10 yuan more. However, people will normally choose to come here because this KTV is more reliable and high-class, best choice if you wanna sing tong xiao hahah~

It is located at the wal-mart/ wa wa wa molls there, and it is better to take taxi to go, at aobut 12 yuan ride, you can have the most four people in your taxi. Don't ever take the black cab, becasue you will never know where they will send you to and how they will charge you, black cab never go by meters.

Shuaaang arRH~ there is only we three girls and we can sing whatever song we wanna sing~ Jay cou, FIR, JJ, every singer you can think of can be found in China, dont worry!

hhaha~ this is zhang pei, she fall asleep and left me and xiao lin singing all the night, then xiao lin fall asleep and she woke up again and high with me arh~ and me? i never sleep for the whole night heheh~

Today I had a very free and easy shopping with Vivian. All in a sudden I am feeling I need a break and I asked Vivian go out with me nearby JIan Er shopping centre. It was an easy going day, and we had our control on our own travelling time and where we are heading to.
Sometimes people really need to have a break, and rest from busy life.

We need to know how to be grateful and appreciate the kindness that people has given to us. Today, I have invited two local friends, who are very good in singing; accompany me to release my emotions. Thanks for being with me, till the drawn, and I’m really appreciate yours scarified of time on me. hahah~ The reason I invited them was simply because they are the best in singing, bluddy hell microphone grabber, 麦霸，haha~ We have two mikes for three people, and I have ordered the ‘luxuries medium big room’ and for only we three, no worries of lefting out others or not enough mikes. SO just enjoy your nights my babes~

I feel GOOD after tong xiao KTV hahha~ and we even went out shopping the next day morning at han zheng street right after we finish our singing hehe~ Thank you xiao lin and zhang pei, I’m really appreciate that how warmth and ‘passionate night’ we had in KTV~heheheh~ hope you all wont get xiong mao yan (panda’s eyes) in the next day

DAY 31 - PRESENTATION ON BPE ASIGNMENT TWO

2009-04-02T06:52:00.000-07:00

Day 31 in Wuhan

Ta,jar and me are the first group to present on our BPE asignment two! Because we are the earliest to reach classroom haha~

hehheeh~ we are taking photos while waiting otheres group to present~ Thanks Ben fro taking this photo for us~

NOw is steph's group turn to present their solution on ESIA, i remember they are hyperactive and laughing all the way during this presentation, oh my~

Here is winson presenting thier ESIA solution and they have applied full automation to thier manufacturing process, ehm, nice idea by xy!

hehehhe~ behhhh cehhh~ we put in the face on ( :p ) to my laptop's webcam, we are nothing to do after presentation and playing around with poeple in our clasroom!

Wah~ so many hands behind of us!!!This is how we play in the classroom and make 'full use' of our time while waiting the otheres fro presentation! front is ta, jar, me and at the back is steph, winson, meng zhen, ci min, and many more~hhehehheahaa~

We played too much and let's have some normal and natural shoot!

hehe~ still not enough! We continue non-stop capturing picture and very funny arh~!!!fun!

Today we have ouyr BPE presentation on asignemnt two. Mr.wong has been guiding us along the process on doing BPE assignment two, we must really appreciate Mr.wong that he has been adjusting the schedule on doing/presenting our assignment so that we will have enough time to complete our assignment and BPE class test. Hahaha~

Thank you Mr.Wong! hehe~!

You has made our “super ESIA” task at WUHAN an 'easy' one!

Just tell you, the BPE assignment 2 is actually a hard one for us. We need to brainstorm to streamline the manufacturing process of a steel bottom brace for the PCK’s company, is that Puah Chu Kang the CEO? heheheh~ I bet so! Randolph’s group came out the presentation with Puah Chu kang picture in every slides, so funny arh~!! We have to first come out a value analysis, analysis on which process is the basic function ( like panting, drilling) and the secondary function ( like the transportation to fabrication, storage and so on). We then need to present out our brainstorming tools that we have used to brainstorm to streamline the process. For example, we stated that, by Ishikawa diagram we’ve found that the transportation process may cost extra to the whole process performance due to slow in driving or untrained drivers. We need to think of every possibility and make lot lots of assumptions.

We then need to produce a Excel worksheet and the ESIA (eliminate, simplified, Integrate and Automate) and streamline the manufacturing process, for example our group has a rough idea on ‘integrating’ the process of receiving steel coil the raw material, storage, and inspecting. Integrating, it is where meant by we will ask the supplier to first deliver the steel coil to storage room and straight away perform ‘eye-ball’ inspecting of the received steel coil in the store room and perform others storage task (like labeling etc). However is this idea very practical?

I am not dared to make promise until we are having experiment on it. We can thus ‘eliminating’ transport to receiving, transport to storage, delay fdro inspection of secondary functions. As total we need to came out a value analysis, method on brainstorming (the module on CAT helps us a lot on it!), a report, presentation, and a Excel sheet. That is indeed a lot of tough work to do, while playing, having extra activities in Wuhan, studying and preparing for assignment, and blogging, everyday, that are all not easy tasks to accomplish. I’m so tired~ hehehe

So we need to pampered ourselves and we had menicure on our nails today! look at Vivian’s nails I have done all the nail polishing for her~heheheh~ It is nice right? Suddenly i felt that i have the potential to be a menicurist!

DAY 30 - DISSECT, HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS

Lunch time~ The local students, YAng Ying, she bought us to their canteen and have our lunch! She introduce us some 'pot rice' and I am so happy to meet her! She is a nursing students and she even sms contact me when we get back to our own campus! NIce to meet you my friend~

hehhe~ i saw Mr wong and Mr Pang (from the left) were there and i quickly ask vivian to take a phto fro us!!!Mr pang is actually the proffesor from WUST, who arrange almost all the visits for us and let us have chance to come to Wuhan and learn so many things! Thank you Mr.Pang!

HArd road to walk.. This is actually some special design of rock pathway in that campus to tell us have fun in walking!

This is spring time!Again!Arh~ today weather is bright and comfortable~

"Welcome Singapore Ngee Ann Polytechnic of students to visit our WUST campus"

The new campus ready everyting well for us and their warmth welcome worth some claps!

Soon after this, we went inside this building and found out that it is actually a practical room/lecture building for WUST medical students, let's find out what they have inside!

WARNNING THAT SOME OF THE PICTURES IN THE BELOW MAY MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

Very high-tech and clean body displaying room showing on some sample after dissect

Those are the nervous and muscle can be found in our legs. Every sample of body dissect is done by WUST lecturers, 一刀一线 slowly make the sample out. Can you believe most of the sample are made 20-30 years ago?

This body shown the kidneys are in a disorder location, left kidney at down below but right kidney up near to heart

I was so exicted to get into this room and looked at those body sample, hahha, so i went to ask the medical proffessor whether i can find human eye ball here, and thaA~daAAA~ here it is!

A baby with four legs, this is a disorder on genetic due to negative side effects of overtaking on some pills, that pills are orginated from Germany and it is used to stop vommiting of pregnant women, however, poeple never realise it brings side effects to infant.

Heart!A human heart that painted red in 'arota' and blue in 'palmonary vein'

Local proffessor was showing us how and what is that sample

Human face with colour painted on the nervous and main blood vesssels

HOw we drop our tears? That picture above has shown you the vessels that work for you

and here is the ends of uncomfortable photos, are you scare? ahhah! It would be super fun and exciting when you walk in this room and see those human samples with your own eyes!

WUST is actually originated form a steel making teaching school, to a multi purpose university in today. They have manny good slogan to remind students on WUST spirt, that is a good example that we should learn from them, it means bring the spirit of steel and make a higher achievement for WUST medical

Local students are having their practical session, sorry for distrub!hahah!

Finally, we will have a WUST medical students presentaion to us on how is CHina and how is their homwtown (in Hubei, Wuhan, north of CHina and many places), they prepared so well and ready so much to welcome us, what shall we do to bring back them something?

yeah~!!We have our prsentation to WUST internation school of students once again to our WUST medical students!Here is LSCT friends they presented different langguge used in Singapore!

Next, the presentation passes on to xiang yu's group on acting out the drama skit and our group D in the topic "singapore is a fine city". That is a pretty good presentation too! However, I really wonder that do they understand our english? They looked quite blur and we have to actually talk slower~

IN the end of the day, that is our free time to go around this WUST campus, you know where i have been to? I heard a loud and cheerful sound came out from WUST sport hall, Yang Ying and I quickly ran to it and we witness an extraordinary good basketball competition!

WUST is very famous in basketball expecially women basketball, Yang Ying, my WUST new campus friend who is studying nursing, she is the one who super good in playing basketball, my other friends said 杨英上场比赛就打得好猛啊！She is very fierce and skillful when in competion, heheheh, i come to here with a right person!! Thank you yang ying for accompany me watch that basketball competition!! We shouted like crazy and cried jia yu~加油加油 for the local players a lot!

I really glad that i make some friends from this new WUST campus, and we keep continue sms and calling while we are back to own hostel. I remember there was once i was locked outside of hostel room, i forgot my key inside haha, and Ta JAr Rand and clive they went out for hair making. I was totally lost and dont know where to go, luckily she called me and remind me i could still go library and waited till 10p.m, that night was super cool night! I did wore 3 layers, it is cool outside but her words make me warm, clam and rest my worries. We have been chatting chatting though phones and then until i get back hostel and get the spare key form Mr.wong, haha.

hhehe~ this is yang ying and me!!! arh!!! i miss you so much!!! we are there watching men's basketball competition, but most importantly is that i lost contact with her after i get back Malaysia, yang ying i cant contact you and remember i wanna send you our photos we have taken in your campus??

Yang ying contact with me at my email, wind_z@hotmail.com if you have seen this blog!! I lost contact with you! Oh my!Anyone who has her email sms me please!

We had today on BPE asignment two briefting session and i slackin in my room and finally went out to play badminton with ye ye them. BPE asignment two we need to use value/cost analysis to resilve and streameline the manufactuting process of and reduce cost up to 10%. It is actually mroe to assumption and braintrom on what process and assume how much cost can be reduced if you streamline that partivular process or eliminate one og the process. By using ESIA (elimiate simplified integtrate analysis) we are to brianstrom and decode what to eliminate or integrate in order to reduce cost in total, down to 10%.

I had my evening playing badminton with lu lu, ye, ye, zhang pei, ma sai (micheal the new frens), joey, zheng hua, zi yang and her bf and i feel extremetly relalx after playing badminton. I went up to 18 level, the highest level in the main building of WUST, the one tallest and just infront of the 广场，we zhang pei and i both of us kena chaase away by sacurity guard. We went down to 15 floor then instead of 18 floor, but yet that bluddy hell stupid guy chase us down again. There is not forbiddien fro students, but due to security reason, it is strict for students who can go up there. There is 3 lift at there and DO NOT take the lift in the middle, there is a bomb upthere in level 18, hahahha :P

I was sneaking and went up to the highest level, 18 floor of this WUST main building, although zhang pei and i kena chased down by the security guard it was a fun and exciting experiences for that i can never had in singapore. Do you know how close is Yangtze river to our WUSt campus? Go up and have a look... The sun is red in the evening and the river clam... eXTRORDINARY

We went to have dinner after that badminton game playing, and rand, clive, zhou yu, jason and others frens were playing night basketball in the baskeball field behind of our school hostel.

Finally, we have this as our ending photos, thanks fro Chen ba ba took this picture for us... Thanks fro evreybody in Joey's house and thank you and thank you so much on all the things you all have prepare for welcome us

This homestay to Joey's really meant something very different to me, i never expect that i'll have this golden chance of experiencing the local life in wuhan and having a great chance meeting with local parents.

Do know how is the feelling of being treated by wuhan people like their own children? Chen ba ba Chen ma ma made me feel that and it warm me up. Chen ba ba will ask us whether we are hungry, he will purposely go down to buy somemore drinks if we feel thirsty, chen ma ma and auntie chen reached joey's new home very early to make dumplings for us, she will ask us to eat more eat more, and we are willingly to keep pushing stuff into our stomach though we already full. Auntie Chen will tell us on all those stories on her cute dog name dou dou, and sharing with us it's photo (Joey hate that dog hahah), and JOey's will somehow being a nice host and 'take care' of us while we are in JInmen hahah~ and bluddy hell JOey you know what she has done? That day i was taking my bath and the water suddenly turned cool water, i shouted her for help and joey rushed to the toilet door and, all in a sudden, "aRrRRhhh~~what happen?! what happen?! Why the water turnned cool?!", she bang and opened my bathroom door, and next, you can know what happen then she, saw everthing, oh myyYY!!!!!!!! LUckily she is a GIRL!! Or i'll start to be crasy and kill everyone who enter my bathroom!!!wahhhaha~

I miss you all.... haiz...... I miss my friends and my wonderful moments in wuhan...mucks!miss~

Ah, haven't finish with my stories, that night and days in JOey's house at Jinmen were really super enjoyable and fun and happy days for us, we have our great time there, and Mr.wong even told my mummy and daddy on us, being invited to the local's house for homestaying, next time if my fellow batch of students if you are invited to homestay in local house, go ahead and enjoy your time there. That is a super nice experience for homestaying in Wuhan local people house~

ALthough we really had our great time there, not to forget to thank to Chen ba ba who finally send us off to JinMen train station and we are on the way on going to WuChang train station, where our WUST the qing shan qu campus ( 武汉科技大学青山区 is the name of our branch of campus) in Wuchang xian, needed 1 hour bus ride from wuchang train station and situated quite nearby

IN the train i saw some cute brothers/cousins were reading on ultramen comic book, hehe

Finally we have recahed the WU Chang Train Station, different from Han Kou Train Station, Wu Chang here is much more modern in design and equipped with new and more facilities like a big ticket checking 'counter' seen on the picture above

Finally this is the end of our trip, we had a lot of great time there... Dont forget us, and we shall bring along our beautiful memories back to future and till we are getting old, dont be sad that soon we are leaving Wuhan, because we are all friends that keep in heart that not keep by distances

The Second NE Messages
We must preserve racial and religious harmony. Though many races, religions, languages and cultures, we pursue one destiny. We are invited for homestaying in Wuhan, the locals house and this is an experience that very extraordinary for me, again, we have so much great time at there, and we have experience so much warmth and great welcome from the locals family. I am really thank God for letting me to have this opportunity to homestay in local house and experience something different that other peers may not experience it.

Joey's parent really teach me something very usefull today, learn to be sincere and treat your guest well, and learn to be humble and create harmonious at home. Could you believe that Chen Ba Ba and Chen ma ma they have the magic on creating a harmony and comfortable atmosphere when they are present? Under the same roof, with different people form different country backgounds, they made me feel the harmony and joyful at home. They never treat us like ousiders, eventhough we are all from different country and religion and from both Singpapore/Malaysia, they treat us like their precious and feed us well. Like mine in past time, suddenly i tought of my dad and started to think that at home i really shouldn't be having fights with my dad, i spoil the harmony at home, and we, the youngsters must really learn to be tolerate and keep the harmony in house well and precious it. We must learn to well keep the peace and harmony at home or whatever place, very humble and sincerely, learn from chen ba ba on how to create harmony atmosphere and respect the others well. Preserve racial and religious harmony are not talking blank on air but we ourself must start doing that and practice this good moral value to our surrounding, learn to respect each other and learn to tolerate and create a harmony society, that with no differences on religion or racial or country background, and learn form chen ba ba chen ma ma on how treating people equally and creating harmony environment.

Havent finish on our story, let's have some vedeos!

DAY 25 - WHAT AND WHY SINGAPORE DO NOT HAVE STEEL MAKING OR FIBRE OPTIC CABLE MAKING INDUSTRY?

2009-03-27T12:05:00.000-07:00

Day 25 in Wuhan

The fible optic cabel wire making company

The Changfei fibre optic cable making company, here is our "quan jia fu" with every LSCT and MDE students!

THe leader of this fibre optic making tuor is explaining the making process of fibre optic cable, with a poster/display board that visualising the making process in diagram and words

~heeheh~! this is me and satay!!!! Er... His name is actually Satish, but that is super hard to memberise it so i'll just call you satay ok??? I met a lot of new frens there from the Aroespace course!

This is the raw material, silicon, the perform of fibre optic, and one this 15 cm long silicon tube can make up 200 meters long of fibre optic cable wire

Ta,xinhui,me,and wei guang! we cant stand anymore and quickly take a group photo eventough there are lots of people behind/blocking of us; and they are actually taking group photos like us too!

And so this is the final product of fibre optic wire and it is labelled and coloured with different colour.

Optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Light is kept in the core of the optical fiber by total internal reflection. This causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Optical fibre is very applicable in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths, the data rates in faster speed. (Data reference to web ) The process of making fibre optic cable wire is started form purifying and making a huge silicon tube. It will then go thorugh the process to be melted to tiny, hair thick of 'fibre line',and then painted/coated with protect layers. The mechine will be used to add in cable layer to optical fibre, then roll with another machine and cut to the length as according to customer order.

Everyday i'll pass by Tuas industry area back to Johor Bahru my home in Malaysia, and watching those factory settup near by. There are Calsberg beer factory, fair price warehouse, Nikkon japan paint, coca-cola firm and many more plants/company at Tuas. Why Singapore do not have any heavy industry and super high technology industry? For this wuhan trip, I have been to the steel making industry and optic fibre wire making firm, i found that those 2 industries are not available in singapore and why?

Singapore government has actually implied some control over the factory/industry build. This is due to land authority planning and avoid over competition of overseas company to local production. Unlike China, Singapore has limited resources, manpower, land, and water. Singapore governemnt has to make sure that the land is first used to build housing and facilities other than industry area. For this exmaple, building up steel industry will cause heavy polution, used up wide area of land, and heavy labour cost. A single air polution can make up the whole Singapore suffer form bad air condition. On the other hand, building up an optic fibre plant needed advanced technology but SIngapore is still lack of talent and the industry knowledge on achieving that. Optic fibre making plant is fully-outomated, high security, and needed high fixed cost on facilitites.

However, I think that Singapore is still very potential on exploring on the market of making optic fibre. Singapore fits on making optic fibre as it require on techonology and less labour force and she just need the knowledge on making optic fibre and talents to build up this new industry, especially talent from overseas to assist it. Because of limited resources, we are not producing on steel, weapon, hydroelectric, water, and many other, we must think of what will happen if we run out of steel/weapon/water, people can survive without taking food or steel but not water. Thus, Singapore have to make sure they will have constant supply, assist, and good partnership from other country form getting the sources. We shall appreciate those countries that made reliable partnership to Singapore and supply us the resource that Singapore lack of, and the people of Singapore must learn how to protect their country and maintain the prosperous that ancestors has build up for Singapore.

The Third NE Messages

We must ourselves defend Singapore. No one else is responsible for our security and well-being. Singapore poeple loves their country and they must learn how to protect their country well. It is not just on the matter on army forces and defensive protect from weapon attacking, they must protect and defend their international trading and partnership with others countries well so that the there are constantly supply on the required resouces (like water, cemen, sand, steel and so on) to their poeple and the daily life of Singapore wont be affected. THis is very very important and the future generations must learn to be responsible, and capable to defend Singapore.

Invited by local students, Joey the sweet cute girl, and first day to homestay at Jin Men 荆门

In the morning of the day, Mr.wong give us the last BPR lecture on chapter 9 and chapter 10. We did our last quiz on chapter 10 too and thanks God we have finally gone thorugh every lecture, and in 3 weeks time!How amazing it is!However, from today onwards we shall focus on finishing our BPR asignement 2, asignment 3, and WUST OIP Final Group Vedeo Presentation. There is still tough time waiting for us but we shall get through it with fearless heart!Let's everybody jia yu together!!!haahha!!

Presentation to WUST INternational School of Students

The event is actually started at 4p.m. How touching it is when i see our local friends still comming to our the lecturer hall on time, and in heavy raining. There is hail (ice balls falling with rain) today!Unfortunately we are all busy prepare for reharsel and never go out and see. That is doen't matter, most importantly is that my clothes are all hanging outside of room and in the process of drying up!Oh my, and that cruel rain wet all my clothes!I just went out and deliver my clothes to have second wash plus drying; washing of 1 and a 1/2 pails of clothes (consider 2 pails) cost me 30 yuan as total. Oh my, that's is a great losses from me. I'm conserving my $ now and i rather choose to shopping more and spend my money in han zheng street!...Luckily the lady boss in clothes washing shop is a very nice lady and she wash and soak my clothes before throw it into washing machines. Haiz.... my money, i spent a lot on laundry

Continue with my story, the presentation started form LSCT students and then to us. They have presented on the culture, economy, food and student lifestyle of Singapore. The whole presentation then passed on from LSCT student to our MDE student during the period of introducing NP courses. Hashanah, vivian and I are first presenting on the above 3 MDE courses offered in Ngee Ann Polytehnic. It was quite boring showing and i really dont know whether our local students understand the so far presentations. After that, we started our funny presenting journey on showing a drama from Xiang yu's group. Their topic is 'transportation', and it was xiang yu the lead actor showing a working adult who rush to work by taxi, take lunch in restraunt, and back home by mrt. Vivian is the narrator and explained the process and Nadiyah, Siok Hui are calefare/backstage helpers.

That is fun presentation and their presentation passed on to our group, on wei guang, xinui, massita and me. we linked our topic on 'FINE' to xiang yu's drama, haha, where xiang yu act is smoking in mrt and we four went out and say;"you are not allowed to smoke in MRT, we shall fine you!", take out 4 papers written on "FINE" with cellophantape and stick on xiang yu's face. We continue our presentation in 'singapore is a FINE city" and showing our special made of vedeos to everyones. hehehhe, the whole process of that presentation is super enjoying and accompanied with laughes and interactions wiht locals, a successful presentation for everyone, thanks God for giving us this outcomes. I was the one presenting and bought a lot of funny moment to audience, wah, Hilda thanks for saying me i looked very 'gentle' in first impression but super bubbly when in presenting, hehe, wah thanks you lor~~!!haha ^^

The presentation then go on to Clive, randoph, ben, and Steph who are presenting on peranakan and malay culture. In the end of the whole event we even all sang the song Rasa Sayang together!!!THen we continue singing the song of Singapore when LSCT students joined in!!So much fun.... Really happy today arh... But after the whole things over i quickly went to my hostel and hava a small nap. I have been working over till midnight recently and very lack of sleep. After i wake up, i saw clive and ta, jar, pei jie them just back to our room and eat their dinner. I suddenly feel like walking out to food alley alone..... I was walking in the street... Looking at that people's daily life and deep thinking how and what am i here......I like to be alone when i wanna to think of something... Altough today's presentation was a great success to us, but there still lack of some and need further improvement on my interpersonal skill on dealing with people and having discussion with others. I was enjoying my TV show when eating beef ramen in the islamic stall jhahha (i think i have been eating at there such many times untill the boss automatically know i'll order beef ramen noodles again). All in a sudden i was really enjoying living at here...... Living in Wuhan is actually very relax and clam my mind.....

Their people are all so kind and generous... The people at there are all living on their simple but enjoying life... Their values of life is to live very statisfying, wear what they have and take what they earn. Thay are less in deisres and greed, they will not think of expand their business to big cities but to think of how to cook a good ramen noodles for you........ Compare to them, i am thinking how to achieve and expand my future carrier to intenational company and go out to see the world...... How we the children all grown up in big cities will not think of expanding and achieving a higher ambitions? But in the same time we are sacrified some things to get to your wild desires. Compared to them, they life a simplier life, they treasure what they already have, and not to think of or desires to gain more things.

The Fifth NE messages:

No one owes Singapore a living. We must find our own way to survive and prosper. Every every creature will live their own life and find on their very own way to be successful in their life. We shall appreciate what we have right now but be motivated to improve our life and lifestyle. We shall keep ourself in a midway, not to be over ambitious or greed, but know our strengths and limits and be statisfied on what we have achieved/gained. We must know where and how to survive to get improvements in life, understand the value of life, and most importantly contribute you to your nation, your society, your friends, and your surroundings. Today, i have bring joy and hapiness to wuhan local students and my contributions will birng back something to me and them. Bringing joy to others and brighten up their life, that's how i'm going to live my life and achieving my final ambitions.

THE SIX NE MESSAGES OF SINGAPORE

- Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong. We want to keep our heritage and our way of life.

- We must preserve racial and religious harmony. Though many races, religions, languages and cultures, we pursue one destiny.
- We must ourselves defend Singapore. No one else is responsible for our security and well-being.

At the upper secondary level, another three NE messages were adopted. These were:

- We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility. This means opportunity for all, according to their ability and effort.
- No one owes Singapore a living. We must find our own way to survive and prosper.
- We have confidence in our future. United, determined and well prepared, we shall build a bright future for ourselves.

DAY 22 - WENT OUT AND BUY A CARTOON MORE OF WATER BOTTLES AND FINISH MY FREID DUMPLINGS

2009-03-24T14:14:00.000-07:00

Day 22 in Wuhan

I saw an uncle was carrying a huge and heavy loads of stuff, walking on street an he was like on the way going back home. In wuhan actually can see this quite often, and people here always carrying stuff and over-loading and pushing the motor back home, without engines nor others, just simply use your manpower and pusj the things all the way to your destination... How tired it will be.... You cant imagine how heavy is the load or how much energy they used up per kilometers to carry that

Ah, we then went to have our lunch, with hajar, pei jie, me and massita! We went to the chicken shop and their servings are really delicious!! I sohuld have bring more peole there and have our lunch!

This is the roast chicken hamburger that i've oredred, with chiken roast stick and chiken meat ball plus a big coca-cola drink. It just cost me 15 yuan on it, so cheap!@ and with so many food inside of the set meals!

We went to jia er shoppping moll and shopping awhile, hajar really siao, she spent a lot today and above 500 hundreds when we went shopping later in the nearby jian er supermarket and replenish some stuff/food

THis is how the coca-cola drink and seven-up in China! Howcome i'll suddenly so interested to find some differences of utensiles and commodities in singapore and china. Dont understand

This is the fried dumplings that i've bought it from food alley while 9p.m just now i went and bought my 12 bottles cartoon of water bottles there. The bottles all freaking heavy la, and i carried it all the way back to hostel and felt both hands tired somemore muscle pain

Today is a easy blogging day, becasue i dont have much activities to do today, after the flexism lesson today i went for lunch and shopping a while with massita them. But i was just now editing the presentation slides and vedeo that we are going to present to local students in comming thusday. Actually yesterday night we were busy vedeo-ing our funny vedeo and doing posters. We overseas exchange students must do in group and produce presentations that introduce singapore to wuhan local students. Our group D topic is on 'Singapore is a fine country', where we will show them singapore's rule and regulations and impose of fines to public. I hope this will be usefull to them too. We have jsut made our super funny vedeo out on no littering, no smoking and no splitting,wahahhah and vedeo by me, ok, i shall conserve some, later no surprise for them... haha!

I went to shopping with massita them but today i was really very tired when shopping and went back hostel little earlier than them. I went to the shop selling the 280 yuan of cow leather purse that i wanna buy fro sis but, they already sold off. The new workers said most of the product are limited stock, and sad arh.... But never mind, because mom just told me that 200 plus of purse is not really worth it, i should go and find more in han zheng street, that is some place like pasar malam and selling many cheap but not quality ensured stuff. haha. I didtn go to bed and sleep today, and continously finishing my blogging homweworks overnight... ah, so tired. But i havent finish all the bloggings. I shall continue doing now, good morning to everybody and i hope you all have good night sleep =)

DAY 21 - TIRED ON BUSY BLOGGING.... AN UN-PEACEFUL WUHAN STREET

2009-03-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

Day 21 in WuhanOn the way Xiang Yu and I went to Mr.Loh WT accomodation to look on his kitchen, we saw some locals were fighting and scolding on each other along the street to the food alley

BPE lesson on Chapter 7

Mr.Wong gave us some history briefing on china, rome,egypt and other country before he started lesson on chapter 7

He even went to Mountain Averest!When he was 40 plus years old!Pro@

Trip to Turkey, the people now are so poor there compared to their great prosperous history in Egypt. Time can really make things to change, USA country is now so advanced and prosperous but who knows after hundreds years will USA still be the leader of the world?

More picture enjoying time on his Egypt trip, after that we had our lecture and quiz 7 on chapter 7 and it was an easy but time consumption quiz.

I have to spend my day busy blogging in today. 8 days, 8 days of blog i havent done it, oh my, the daily blogging sounds easy but hard to make it, especially after many tired outgoing trips and lectures and quizes.. Dying..

Today, Xiang Yu and I went to Mr Loh WT accomodations to look on his kitchen; we are going to cook dinner for everybody in MDE on this comming Friday and how wonderful it is to have some Singapore local food that we made ourselves in Wuhan. Mr.Loh borrowed us his kitchen and others equipments like works/pot/oil/oyster sauce/and so on, so nice and thanks lot lot arh Mr.Loh!!haha!Xy and I even went to the nearby wet market and checked for the food pricing and availability. I bought some fruits today, bananas, apple and pairs eveyrthing they have and i prepare to finish them in one week time.

Today is a very unpeaceful day and i have seen so much of scence that opppose harmonious and society stability that i ever seen in wuhan. Before i went out with xiang yu, i saw an middle age lady sitting on floor, crying and talking in phones very loud, and seems sobbing and shouting and complainig to the person on the other phone. She looked so clumsy and pathetic and suddenly i feft coward and so helpless to assist her. The crowd just walked passed by her and never even looked one more eyes on her, so pathetic, this society has really changed to be cold hearted, and i dont understand it i'm also one of them walked passed by that lady and go and do my own things. I really did that, and without hestitation i walked away from that lady, as well as the others. Why i'll have this action. i knew i should have go and help her, but all in the sudden i felt really weak, helpless, and just too coward to walk towards her. Maybe watching the crowd just walked passed by her made me dare not to walked towards her too. hah, human, how coward am i turning to. hah.

In the night, while i was walking with xy on the street, i heard another lady was making a police report and complain that her shop was nearly got robbed and theft. She said that thief even threatened her to smash her shop's glass door if she never open the door. I wonders how she is able to handle with that theif, but i believe in the end he, the theif fail to smash doors and ran away. Today i have really seen so much of things that i do not wish to see. The society is still endanger poeple's safety, even here arounf the WUST university campus where there is still security guard around our school, the criminals and social unstability are stilll everywhere and happening no matter where you are. I felt so pathetic for them when i overheard that at the time the theif failed to get into the shop and he even threatened a lady to open the door for him. Why that poeple will just not to make use of his arms and body to make money. However, if let me think wider, he might be one of the job failure that fail to get an income and suport himself. Orelse he maybe just one of the failure/smoker/drug abuse that desire money to drop from sky to support him.

Along the street, and before that above happened, the scence of crowded of people surrounding those locals fighting along the street to food alley are extremely memorable. What makes me that memorable, and so phathetic is that, that are poeple surrounding both of the middle aged women who are fihgting there, but they are all watching ouside in a secure area and there is none of them have the thought of stnading out and stop them from fighting. No voice came out from stopping them, and they are all just watching. Maybe there is still some poeple trying to stop them but where is the intension on standing there n look? By looking at the fighting locals the problem can be solved?Standing there and see ,or vedeoing is appreciated or worth for earning money? That local women scold and shout so loud and aggresive that only police can arrive and solve it. Xy later told me that he overheard the reason of fighting is becasue somebody pushed the another person bla bla bla.

The society now has became unsecured, filled with undertainty, and on the every bright side of the society there will always be accompanied with darkness; what i've witness today, reveal and tear the peaceful scence that covers the darkness of poeple and society. People walked passed that helpless lady, people that ignore the complain and help arlert from the shop owner, people that surrounded that fighting locals and just wathcing have made me feel so sick on it. And i'm one of that people too, i'll have to say that. I can't tell you why i walked passed the helpless lady like the others done, that kind of sorrows and phathethic for them have just made me miserable and today, i've found the ugliness of Wuhan, and the one in human being. Everywhere is not that naive and peacefully than what we've thought. We shall appreciate this and thus treasure the peacfull. SIngapore is imposeting those good rules and low that protecting peole and how it created a harmonised sociaty in SIngapore.

DAY 20 - I HAVE WORTE MY DADDY'S NAME ON PEAK OF THE PEAK, 1631 KM HIGH OF WUDANG MOUNTAIN

2009-03-22T21:23:00.000-07:00

Day 20 in Wuhan

原来俯视是这种感觉 Climbed and reached to the peak of Wudang mountain, Jin Ding, at 1631km high, I conquer the wudang mountain

I shall go shopping and reward myself, this just natural and very nice shot, there are people carrying thick wooden door uphill to the wudang mountain, they stopped and rest, continue walking, then stop and breath again and continue their journey again and again. The China people are that though that it is no longer as simple about spirit of perseverance; in their mind only occupied on wife and children who waiting at home and rely on his income, and he shall endure and continue his journey. Can us? Do that like how he persevere..?

The front door/gate view of wudang before we went in deeper to climb mountain

arhhhhh~ how refreshing it is.... the wind blow on my face and it is cool and refreshing...i like there a lot...and we continue climbing the stairs while appreciating how beautiful of the nature

There are small business, accommodations for traveller and some housing around wudang mountian. That is 'dui lian', the two rolls of red paper writing on calligraphy with blessings or poems sticked on the door of a family

we continue our journey and this is really just the very beginning of non-stop climbing stairs

wah so tired, let's have a small rest and pei jie and i just seat on the chair they've provided for travellers, just need some small rest!

That person holding a yellow flag is our tour guide, xiao qin ge ge, he is the one leading us to the peak of wudang mountain. Our group from Singapore actually have 4-5 tour guides accompany with us because we are such a large group!Ngee Ann student from EE, ECE, LSCT, MDE and so on are all there as well and we all went and conquered the peak on wudang in the same day too!

Look at the mountain !!!Daddy mommy!!!The views and scenery are just very spectacular!

I was running out of camera memory because i had taken too many vedeos and photos, this is one of the photo that i insist to take it when tiring on climbing to the peak, Jin Ding 金鼎, of wudang mountain

Poeple are tiring on climbing to the peak and yet no one will give up or attract to take the qiao zi (seats that human carry you up to the hills). The stairs are thousands and we need to continously climbing to the mountain, i must reach to peak! I must and i will!

But wah, it was really very tired on climbing the wudang mountain, let's have some fun!take pictures!WhooHUu!!

Three butts are pointing to the camera!I am the camera girl who took this photo!let's see who has the 'prettiest butts'!!!hahahha!! ho ho i think is the girl at left most, HAshanah!and then the other sampat girls are Nadiyah and Xinhui!!!Funny arh!!

Yeah!! we are on the halfway to the peak of wudang!!!good post!@ But we were actually all very tired and exhausted on climbing the stairs, but we shall continue our journey!Jia yuuuu~!

From left hashanah, me, xinhui, and nadiyah, i'm really appreciate to be friends with you all and thanks for not giving up me, thanks for giving me courage and support, thanks for holding my hands and ask me to keep continue, thanks for teaching me the tips on climbing, thanks for your all of moral and physical supports, thanks for you all, and i'm really treasure and appreciate it...

......can you see this.....this is it... the view that i capture from the peak of wudang, from Jin Ding!it was just awesome and the mountains are all actually in a circucal surrounded the JIn Ding peak, like a lotus surronded the lotus buds!Jin ding is the lotus buds which situated in the highest location and it indicate a good feng shui and nearer to heaven. The Yuan dinasty of emperor choose to build the daoist temple at this Jin ding of wudang mountian just because JIn ding significantlly showed the inparable high position like the emperor and it has an excellent feng shui here.

The depth of mountain is such deep that you will scream out 'wow'

Prayers or travellers will leave their blessings to their children or families in the peak! I left one here!Guess how and what it is!

more beautiful scenery... very nice right?
The beautiful wudang moutain and i shall keep myself in the camera and leave a memorable moment... Statisfying smile and wonderful trip...

look at the depth of the mountains that around the Jin Ding peak.... I wonders how the people in hundreds year ago climb to this mountain and build the hundreds years old of daoist temple at Jin Ding

nice shot..

THere are crowded of people in the peak of wudang and they are all praying to the Jin Dian 金殿，the temple that emperor in Yuan dynasty ordered to build. We have to squeeze through the people and walk very slowly. I've even tried to touch the walls oand the locals said it will bring good fortunate and blessings to you

hehee!!Mom Dad!!This is how i left your all name in the peak of the wudang mountian!! and i locked it somewhere infront of the temple, jin dian, and i hope God will bless us and our whole Teo family! 张昌利全家 2009年3月22日！The lock 平安锁It shall be leaved in the peak of wudang forever and untill it get rust and vanish!!

THIS IS THE PEAK OF THE PEAK!JIN DIAN!!!THE TEMPLE THAT BUILD HUNDREDS YEARS AGO!I TOOK A PHOTO ON FULL VIEW OF JIN DIAN!Thanks to the ECE guy took this splendid photo for me!

'

From the trip to Wudang i have really learn a lot of things. I finally know how is perseverance and strong will that essential to keep us keep continue going. The freindship and the real support from my fellows freinds are the most valueble lesson that i learnt form them. That is valuable as gold and bacause their generous and kindness to me, i shall treat the others in future like how they support and assist me. This learning experiences on a great moral value, love, the love of freindship that touches me, is totally not nor part of my learning planning to wuhan. It is doesn't matter on the learning planning on the poeple and culture of China, we writen our journal with learning planning is to learn more and explore the knowledge, however today i've gained the values that far more significant than my learning planing, and that is love, we shall love everyone, learn to love and respect each others, then only you can arhcieve honesity, sincereity, respect the others, learn to treat the others equally and learn to be in midway. This is how and what i have learn from this wuhan trip to wudang, and i believe this lesson on moral values far more important than others and it will be carrying with me to future.

Although this trip has teached me how should i applied the values of morality to others, i have too observed the poeple and culture of China, and from wudang mountain, again i've found that the locals are all that though and stuggle that to earn a livings. The man who carried a heavy and thick wodden door uphill deeply touched me. I felt so symphaty but helpless to them. But I could just walked passed them and donate more money to temple. Suddenly i felt that my power is so small that i observed and found the poor reality of poor people in china and yet and i can just record it down in my blog, and then i couldn't do anything for it. everyone will their own life to go and every people will have different life, every fate is decided by God and God will make a way for them. I really hope that they will keep happy and life a fruitful and simple life. Eat well, sleep well, and may God bless them. I saw the locals are running small business and dying to attract customer to purchase their things, young children are out to sell 2 yuan whistle, Yet i can just give of 2 yuan and buy the whisel from that little boy. I really cant do anything out more to help them, how symphatic am i. I really don't want to only observe the people and record their culture in my blog and that's all, i hope to help them... I hope, someday i can do something out, and really help the poor people. The outcomes made in reality is far more important than determinations. And so far, i am aiming for making the outcome that i wanna as a reality, although i might not achieve it now, but i am training myself to be harder and more capable to make it reality... May my God buddha assist and bless me along to way to it

The local wudang tour guide explained to us where we'll be going to, strongly recommend you to get a local Wudang tour guide before going the Wudang mountain! You need a local person to guide you on mountain routes to the highest peak of Wudang

People are selling the red banners that use for praying, or just to give blessing, but they seems tired on shouting and attracting customer

crowded with our Ngee ann polytechnic students and on the way to tai zi po!

so many people there....

the walls are bended... I shot this photo and really like it a lot!

The local tour guide explained to us when the Emperor's son in yuan dynasty came to wudang to learn Taoism and decided to be a monk, the empress cried near the well here.

Translation: tai zi means 'prince', po means 'hill', direct translation tai zi po was the Emperor's son studying place at Wudang mountain when he came here for learning Taoism.

Yeah! I am infront of the century-old temple at tai zi po!!

Nice capture. Beautiful chinese character that engraved beside of the door of tai ze po's temple

Prayers and travellers put on their blessing with that red banners and tied on the trees

Very old stairs at tai zi po

Whoooo~~ look at the tree behind of me! This is SPRING time!

hahaa~ wei guang helped me to take a photos behind that 'fu' word

Flower blossoms and it is now the spring time

There are 4 paintings inside this shop, the guan yin, crane, the mei hua painting, and the mudan flower painting

There were Wudang mountain discipline practising on wudang wushu, they are looked very exhausted on practising wushu, and yet their master hit their stomach if anyone make mistakes. So fierce!

There were crowds and people surrounding them wihle practising, but the tension from crowd will drive them nervous when practising their wushu show. You should actually move back and leave them some space.

Old folks and youngsters were waiting outside of temple beyond zi xiao gong to pray

The roof of those old, chinese charcterised building

I spoted this and quickly take a photo, dad and mom will sure like it alot!

Bells hang along with the mountains

This building was actually a double storey of palace but not many people notice it, there were 2 plaque written on fu mu tian chang and san qing ke, direct translation fu mu means 'parents', it was a plaque showing blessing to long live our parents

Super big and red lantern hanged on top the ceiling

2009-03-19T12:07:00.000-07:00

Day 17 in Wuhan

last IS lecture from Xiao Lin Lao Shi

In the morning massita was combing hair for hajar... soft sunlight, gentle conversation, thick and intimate friendship, how peaceful and harmonious scence this is........

Xiao lin lao shi is really a good and kind teacher, we a resomehow dont know how to handle a long 4 hours continous class and i hope xiao lin lao shi wont mind it... Today's lecture has cvered on mainly the etiquette and sdoing business in china:

Ziao lin lao shi has shown us some pictures taken from Wuhan University and prepare us on going to visit sakura (cherry blossom) in Wuhan U. Wuhan U is quite far and need about 35 minutes car driving to go there

In order to staritng up business, THRUST, RELATIONSHIP, AND FACE are the three most important matters. China peopla hard to trust foreigners, and you need maintain good relationship with local business, make more friends connects your relationship web, and take care of their people's pride and give face to others, 面子, is very important in china people

we must gt well in unfamiliar environment, respect the people, and go with the locals into their culture and learn their value in life....

To address chinese, never call them as xiao jie (miss/young lady/小姐),becasue xiao jie indicates postitute in china. We must address waiter as 服务员，bosses or lady boss in hawker stall as 老板老板娘, taxi driver or priest as 师傅，and old folks as 爷爷奶奶。uncle auntie address as 叔叔阿姨, person with same age old slightly older as 哥姐, like the qin ge ge is our tour guide and han xuan jie jie is our second tour guide.

Xiao lin laop shi walk towards us and give off somemore detail on her lecture

she even teached us how to send a gift and how to choose and wrapped a gift. We shouldnt send clock (as indicates dying), shoes (as indicates dying 'song si'), and many others. We shouldnt wrap the present with white or pure black present becasue it is only use for funerals

The dining attitude must be good and expecially eating infront of others. We shouldnt put on chopstick vertically in rice bowl 插直筷子like praying for ancestor, or cross others chopsticks and make noise with chopstick and blowls.

While eating eg. in a feast, we do no need to finish all the servings you have, while treated by others you should tell the host honestly whether you are full or needed more rice, if not they'll continue serving you while and whenever they seeing you with empty rice bowl

hahah, i randomly took a photo fro our freinds, look at wei guang and xinuyi they putting on with funnny face to camera, hahaha, dXmn you

HTe business etiquette and protocol she teached to us are all veyr useful and applicable..ah, i am going to miss her after going back singapore
\

Lecture some on china's current economy

We should have to follow the lcoal tradition and rules in handling matters when you get to their place, 百里不同风啊 (different cultrue will have different style, rules and regulations)

Finding a right partner is important, you can go thorugh agency to find or get the local freind to introduce

those are the steps you may follow to set up your business in china
'

Xiao lin lao shi kindness is heart-warmming and incredible. I cant forget how funny and kind of her that helped all our classmate to solve their daily problems in wuhan. Xiang yu, me went to ask her directions to go shopping molls. wei guang asked her where to repair his laptop, and many more. If we all have any problems that we have no idea on how to solve it. we will sure straight away go fro xiao lin lao shi, an she is always there for us. Xiao lin lao shi, is our fortunate to meet you and have you to be our lecturer, thank you, and i sincerely hope you'll have great day and smile everyday and be how funny and positve thinker like now.May God bless you..

Xiang yu and xiao lin lao shi, xiang yu reperesent out MDE to give off present to her and appreciate her for being our teacher for 3 weeks

Mr wong and Mr chong have taken photo together with xiao lin lao shi, mr.wong favourite rabbit post still look nice on him@ haha!

DAY 16 - I MISS MY VIOLIN

2009-03-18T04:06:00.000-07:00

Day 16 in Wuhan

Somewhere around our WUST campus, today's weather is very warm and comfortable

We have our very first BPE presentation on asignment 1, each group must define 3 thinking tools or techniques that may help in improving the business process and present it. Hajar, Massita and I are the first group, and that above is the second group presented by xinhui, nadiah and hashanah

"...... So that is under the weakness of Starbucks?That doesn't look like a weakness to it!!!"..."ah? I dont know lehh. I've taken this from internet (haha)", this is how Ben answered Mr.Wong's question when tcher asked him why he categorised the weakness of starbucks with positive comment, wahaha, funny arh... He is really very boy boy and just 'boyish'; the way Ben answered Mr.Wong's question was so candid and naive untill we all laughed out like a what

Presentations continued to Fran's group and she was actually laughing all the way while presenting, really wonders how she make it =P

The next is Pei jie, vivian and miang's group, pei jie is so entertaining that until i frogot to take pictures on her with my camera, ah, and pei jie can even brillant till she wrote small notes on her plam plus read somemore from paper notes, brillant arh!!

This is xiang yu, wei guang, and winson group who were the last group to present, winson elaborate the ishikawa diagram till very detail and adequate

This is how xiang yu looks like while he was presenting, xiang yu he even analysis Singapore's politic situation with the SWOT tools and very brillant!heheh x.yu jia yu jia yu arhh!!

IS lesson on Buddism and China Politic

Xiao lin lao shi explained to us how the religion of Buddha influenced china history, the photo above shows our lesson on 10 grave precepts of Buddha. For example, dont kill, dont be greedy, dont cheat, and others

ya i admit it i fall asleep in class and very deeply, i felt extremely tired after taking the flu medicine and couldnt stop form dozed off haha. I was having flu and just slight fever since yesterday night and taken some medicine, dont worry ya i'm feeling pretty better now. and i just went out with vivian to 'da pao' (take away) the beef noodles and we taken our dinner in my room

Xiao lin lao shi has given us lectures on GuangYin, Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha, and many more of the principles in Buddhism.Recently i'll read and go through the Buddha book that mom has given to me and it makes me feel more comfortable and secure in facing things and obstacles

THe rich or higher class of lady in olden day will be binding on foot, this symbolise the posper, wealth, high class and proud of the royalties. They fractured and breaked the bones in foot in order to 'tied' and 'minimise' the foot size. The big toe of foot will be not be folded as well because the big toe represent the 'lily pointer' of the lily foot, and it is to make the foot shape to be sharp in the front part, like a lily pointer, and small in size in foot like the lily buds or flower; how foolish it is. Those poeple present their reputations, wealth, class ranking, and posper on a foot of a lady.

Xiao lin lao shi has shown us the slides of the Manchu people's hairstlye and how they actually sacrified thousands of people to make the Han people follow Manchu tradision on tied their hair

The maijishan Grottoes with many buddha protraits and culprits, find one day later i'll bring my families to there and visit those gorgeous art of the buddha

The recent politician of replubic od China, Hu Jin Tao Chairman held the highest post in china, Mr. Wu Bangguo held the second respective post and Wen Jia Bao Prime Minister held the third highest post as the prime minister of China

Finally, pei jie, vivian, and i saw many of them were playing basketball and half naked, haha, it was because the weather did turned warmer and today is sunny day

We have our very first presentation today, our group didnt really prepare so much on it as compared to others group,but i've tried my best. I am really sorry that today late for classes. In the early morning i went out to buy carttoons of water bottles with 12 bottle packes inside and it took some time on carrying it back. I am so tired and listless today. Yesterday night i could felt my head running fever and it was so warmth that i cant even sleep properly, though i keep reminding myself that i have to sleep well because i'll have a presentation on the next day, i still feel extremetly weak on the next day. At the moment i went in the class i already knew that i'm going to present my tools, the mind mapping, without other preparation time nor hestitations, and i cant control my speedy speech,haha.

Pei jie said my presentation was like giving lectures on mind mapping, ah, that's good, i'm giving you off the knowledges of mind mapping. But i didn't really go in depth and research more. I have chosen this topic was mainly becasue it read the book on 'Buzan Mind Map" before and that's interesting me to give a presentation to you all. But th eoutcome is not that excellent that i wanna it to be nor statisfying teacher. No matter how, i wont mind it, because schooling and studies are far inferrior than my health concern. I'm going to find out why i'm suffering from repeated fever recently; it is due to changing in weather or problem environment hygiene. I saw a big fat rat running along the corrior today, and inside our block of hostel, haha, i'm going to buy many insect spray from now onwards.
'

I miss my violin recently.... i am feeling going home to play my violin so mmuch and playing more on tunes and songs make me feel easy and just relaxing.....

arhh.....

i miss my violin so much.

Inside the industry area they are trains and railways that use to move cargoes and the train will never leave that industry area. Our bus have to stop for this train traffic light and we have waited about 10-15 minutes to wait the train to move cargoes and passes far away from railtracks then only our busses can go though

The street view near the area of wugang industry area; heavy machine and lorries along the road and workers can be seen there performing their jobs

Those are the EE students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic too ( Electric Engineering of student) that combined with us and go together to the Wugang industry area

Today we have been going to Wugang, 武钢, a factory producing in metal steel which situated near to WUST campus and took us only about 30 minuts joyney. The weather in the morning is warmth and comfortable and we can actually go outside without layers of clothing on us. Mr.wong gave us a morning call and he knobed everybody's room door while playing his favourite song" Chan Mari Chan", arhhhhh. So noisy!haha! We went school gate gathered at about 8.15 and we have to wait for the EE (Electronic engeneering) students to come from Zhong Nan Road of another WUST campus. EE students are actually having their studying in the different campus with us and their place is almost 'countryside' and far more from Wuhan cities. They all looked very tired and sleepy, and i believe they woke up very early in the morning to catch up with us to go together to Wugang. We took the chatered bus to Wugang and there are no photographing allowed in the Wugang factory, so sad! I'm so lucky to witness the amazing process on making metal steel and the whole process on producing a roll of metal steel strip are extemely faster than i thought, only about 160 seconds!

'
Wugang is the third largest of steel manufacturing in China, as according to Mr.Wong saying. The leader of it in china is first the Angang steel manufacturing, followed by Gaogang the second largest in enterprise modal and sizes, then to Wugang industry. The steel is first melted and and poured into the mould, a huge, thick, red and hot and flat matal plate out. It will then go rollers and roll forward to second machine and wash with cool water to remove unpurities, like dust or machine oil that might affect the appearance or quality of steel plate.That thick metal will then go further forward to third machine to be rolled and flatenned to thin, and skinny and long metal plate. This thickness and length can be controlled,the machine can be adjusted to produce metal plate with 1milimeter- 25 milimeters differences in width. Lazer is used to detect the thickness and quality of steel plate, and human planner is behind controlling adjusting mechine to produce the exact length/width as ordered by customer.

The machine rolled come and back about 4-6 times and flatenned. The factory leader actually told me that they called this process like 煮面坤面团, which like they making noodles the chief need to rolled and flattened the doll. The thin and flat steel metal plate will then be rolled into rolls and coiled, labelled, and transported to customer. I joined teacher conversations with the factory leader and he later answered me that, when order arrive they will need 1 week of producing lead time to produce the steel strip, there is no warehousing and after producing rolls of rolls of metal strip it will be directly transported to all over to country and world. Wugang produce about 300 of rolls of metal strips in 1 day. The bigger the rolls of metal make the better profit, they will usually make a larger rolls of metal compared to we have seen today. Because it is better to produce in bigger volume in a time as is the same process the machine willl go through . Their procing process is very efficiency and it takes about 160 second to produce 1 rolls of coil steel metal strips. THeir technology is so advanced that the width of metal plate reach about 21 milimeters, compared to common width that at about 26-32 milimeters. Wugang customer are all over the world and they are actually the supplier to the pipeline construction in Shang hai to Shan Xi area in china, the constructions under government is eventually thier customers too!

Their quality of steel is such qualified that customer range has even extended to supply steel and metal to Japan and others country. Besides, compared to traditional steel making industry that have thousands of workers to produce steel, Wugang has only about hundreds of wokers in factory, applied full outomate producing, with machines working and human planner controlling and coordinating machines, they are walking towards to modern factories and proud of their advanced technology on automated steel making. How fortunate i am that i've witness the whole proces on producing the metal steel today! ... I really wonders how they have managed their supply chain in steel industry adn asked many question related to logistic to the tuor leader, the steel producing is so time sensative and costing and their workers seems have to work under pressure and health risk. Workers health condition and factory maintainece cost have caused a lot to their enterprise and managing workers working environment and heath are the most costing factors in steel industry compared to operations cost or other transportation cost. Finally i would like to thank for this enterprise for giving us this oppurtunities to witness the whole process of making steel and the factory's guide leader who answered all my questions that patiently, thanks lot

DAY 14 - AN ODD DAY AND I CATCH A COLD

2009-03-16T22:08:00.000-07:00

Day 14 in Wuhan

BPE lesson on Chapter 5

Today is finally the day i've gone through without taking any pictures or photos. I have found that during the past time, especially after i get the camera form Zi Yang i have busy in taking photos and blogging; but i never been deeping in to experience the surrrounding with my body and soul. Everthing is empty, recording the activities that i've done, journalling having fun and shotting photos, however i have never been really dissolve into people and sense the china culture by my own eyes and soul. Capturing the culture thorugh cameras just isn;t enough. I would like to explore more that cannot be blogged or captured but that remained in my heart and memories. Today, i have explored the world and walked with my soul.

There is so much of beautiful things and creatures in our Wuhan school and all in sudden i felt my hostel room is familiar and friends and roomates are warming my heart, i never have this thought and eagerness to go back to my hostel room that much since i've came to wuhan. Especially after the trip to the three gorgeous dam, i felt really good to be back home to my own room. Finally, and i can lied down on my bed and a while...I really think that i'm gonna miss my room after going back to home.

Today the BPE lesson on chapter 5 and our fifth quiz on this chapter are quite easy handled. But the lab practicle lessons on Flesixm sofatware is really hard and we are olmost give up on it. We are all that busy on doing our exercise on 'lesson 2', forgot pictures capturing forgot the others blogging homwwork but concenrtrating on solving out the answer. Starting from 'lesson 1' we have to setup the modal on 'souce', 'queue',processor','sink',and adding on new elements on 'conveyor', 'transporter' and 'operator'. That is a process on streamline the manufacturing process of products, in graphical manners, how you arrange the best number of operators in, think of which constraints to use,processor must be in which 'normal' 'expression' or others statistical distribution to use. Althought the flexsim 'lesson 2' has given us the best fit solutions and steps, but we still cant reach the answer although we have simply just needed to follow the steps. I have to tuse my computers together with vivian becasue she dont have the flexism software and it took us quite a long itme to setup the flexism modal. I have even ran out of laptop battery and keep trouble wei guang to borrow me the adapter haha

I have got the answer out finally and generate report by Microsoft excel, but i have used 3 operators instead of others student who did on 2 operators. The result are actually quite similar and we dont really have to be that precise since there might be different set of 'lesson 2' question steps offered to everybody's computer. After a very tired journey on BPE flexsim lesson i prepare to go back my room and wrote blogging on that 3 days san xia trip, i saw Joey, Ye Ye, Lu Lu, and Zhang Pei them, and i really dont know what happen, we then went to find on something then we went to play badminton and end up eating dinner with LSCT students. They are Life Science Chemical Engineering students that came to Wuhan togther with us and we are all actually going out together to tuor or industry tuor very oftenly. Joey and Lu Lu wanna 'look at something' and i suddenly feel interesting on it and went out together with them, ok i'm not going to blog it, but i hope that they will get what they hope so as soon as posible, hahahah.

Dinner with LSCT students is actually just dinner with less interacting, and my mind is actually out to the sky and floating on air, i didnt pay so much attention on it too but quickily finished my dinner said goodbye and ran off to bread shop to buy loaf of oat bread ( that bread in choco colour and the lady boss specially made this for us the Singapores students, so nice! That shop is situated on the left hand side of food valley, along the way from the first shop that selling on soya milk stall, towards to shoes shop there, but it is not the Huang Guang XXX cake shop, is another one, Xiang yu know on it and he is the one actually bought me to the shop!!hhaha! bluddy hell xy! =P). Ah, continue with my stories, i buy bread beause i felt still so hUngry after eating that dinner, and zhang pei, joey adn I went off to buy somemore local food to eat, haha@!

Although I didnt really interact so much with LSCT students on that day, but i still hope we can have more chance to know each other and most importantly i've met a girl dont know what is her name, and she knows how to play the flute (the flute i've bought ten bucks in 3 dam) and excellent like how clive play with it! So amazing!! This 2 poeple haha can 'bridge' them together liao hahah!maybe find one day can go ask her how to play flute!really thank for her and she really so funny, kind, active and...... talkative!!! ahhah!! =p kkkk, dont blame me on saying this, but i like your way to being like that too, it is very friendly and i like your good personalities!ahaha!And one other girl, min yi, she is really good in playing badminton!!haha and she is from Malaysia like me too oh that's really happy to meet them!

ah, i havnet finished the story. I planned to be alone and finish my blogging homework at room but really dont understand why i will be playing badminton wiht zhang pei and go dinner after this. And at night, we even went to night study at their classroom. They called this 晚自习, revision/studying at night , so good to have hostel so near to school and teachers are available even at night! I saw Mr Loh WT are teaching them Stats and because they have a statistic test tomoro and they are lots of people in many classroom studying till night. I went there studying my BPE and, i catch a cold. I was nearly having running nose becasue of going with Joey them without money, handphone, or even a jacket or windbreaker, not suprising i catch a cold when study at there and i felt there are stars runnning around top of my head everyting is~ bluuuuUUrrrR~ Finally i really cannot tahan and we went back at aobut 10 and you know what? We went to 'shop around' somemore in the provision shop near our hostel. Ya, pei jie this auntie also comming wiht us when the night study, she is really kacao arh, talk so loud, and worstened my health condition hahahhahahha~ and then finally we came out from that shop, then we saw Fire, Zero and Guy them, the china local students. Zhang Pei stopped a while again and talked to Fire them and i just feel like going back my hostel and sleep arh!!!She even introduce Fire to me and pei jie and i just felt so 'bo lat' to respond and smile to them. hahaha =P But fire said he almost forgot who is us those from singapore, what the hXll, but he was actually looking at pei jie oh when he said that and turn to said 'hello' to me, hahha, so, i think fire is he dont remember pei jie auntie and not me ( i bet so, hahah0), arh~ so FUNNY ARH!!! and pei jie like going faint after she heard that sentence. But no matters what he said it doesnt matter because i lost my concerntration and my head is boiling i wasn't listening in and i felt i am going to have fever again......... damn it.... why suddenly i'll become so weak after reaching wuhan... and now, 8.06 a.m in the night of tuesday i felt my head is boiling and body is warmth again....

DAY 13 - THE RELECTIONS ON THE 3 DAYS SAN XIA TRIP

2009-03-15T21:06:00.000-07:00

Day 13 in Wuhan

TOday sunday is the third day in san xia and we are on the way back to our WUST school campus. THese aer some of the cruise having accomodations and provide the same service like our monnlight cruise

long hours ride again and i am able to see those beautiful you cai hua along the road

HOweve,r the driver stop uis a while at a nearby local product selling shop, and we actually bought a lot of yao shu 尧酥 the san xia famous local biscult back. Those orange plastic bags are from vivian but i hold it on my laps along the way back and it get me hurt and numb on leg hahh.

beautiful decoration for some business ceremony, along the street of Yi Chang, where the san xia located at.

共建宜昌 let's build yi chang together. I can see a lot of banners/words painted like this along the road adn streets of yi chang, even in Wuhan city too. China people are patriotik and they love their country well. We should learn from them to love well and build up our country stronger

Finally today is the day we are going back home to our WUST hostel. I miss WUST there so much!! In short, i'll like to conclude on my trip to visit san xia. Firstly, san xia the three gorges dams are spectacular and worth well to visit. IN the middle of the night, while i was sleeping due to overwalking hahha, my freinds witness how was the locks bought us to a higher sea level. That is a very good experience on watching it, the cruise queue and went into a platform with water, then the gfate will close and pump in with water, to increase the water height, and the cruise actually gone to a higher sea level. Travel more on some distances, and then cruise went into the second level of lock, close gate and pump on water to the same sea level as the next lock and continuees doing untill the fifth lock and reach san xia, which is hundreds meter higher than the standard sea level. How regret and kesian i was, that i was unable to witness this extraordinary process.

Second, is that the trip visit to shen nong xi. The waterway is so narrow that boat cannot pass through many of the obstacles and bottlenecks along the river, thus they need manpower to tied the boast with rough strings, pull and pass through bottle necks. This is how they call it la qian 拉纤. Poeple pulling on our boat at the bottlenecks and make us move forward against the streame; they sweat a lot even that's only 18'c of day, and their skins are dark and their hands are rough due to overworking and rough friction they have while pulling the string that tied down the boat. In the past time, those 船夫 people perform their hard task and pulling the passenger, naked, with a thin slippers, and working day and night and in winter or summer.

HOwever, today, the people 船夫 do not rely on la qian this boat pulling transportation to earn their livings anymore. They perform and demostrate this to tourist and the tourist industry they have, is the poeple major source of income. I am glad that they are advancing and dont have to do such tough and hard job anymore. But, i have found that, some locals here are over-promoting on local product and somehow hard-selling to foreign tourist. This made me to have some oppose relection compare to others OIP peers have done.

China is very different from what we have tought of in 30 years ago, poeple here are educated and they are smart using on their resources. Like today what we have seen, although la qian is a hard task to do but the numbers of poeple doing this job are reducing, and the distances they travel are lesser. They are performing this activities for tourisms promoting and to demostrate only how was their ancesstor used to have their livings like that.

I remember when we are on the boat, the local tour guide sell us CD on shen nong xi song singing, in 28 yuan per CD. I was initially think it was too expensive for a single CD but i bought it for my dad. She gave us everyone on a CD, on the shaking boat, to have a look and purchase the disk. However, one of our OIP peers droppped the CD in the boat floor. That CD is very slightly wet and the tour guide kindly ask him to purchase it. It is his fault to drop that CD, but he is not WILLING to buy that CD at all. After a while, xiang yu who actually bought a CD too he exchanged his nice good condition CD with the wet one.

In Singapore we know what is customer right and we know customer has the rights on getting a right product in a right condition and right price. I'm here not to tell who is in fault or who should be responsible/taking the losses on a CD, however, we must all learn to respect the others customer right and know your own right. Wiht my personal observation and thinking, the tour guide never has the idea on customer right while she sees the CD drop, but to have business mind to hard selling the disk to us. The students can to not pay the whole price fro CD, if he is not WILLING to purchase it, but to REPAY 50% losses and on the casings, of the CD. After all, it was just the paper casings drop to boat floor not the disk.

WE must know our customer right and learn to protect your right under a low binding country. Learn to reject the fault offer, and learn to negociate with people so that you are not the one to be taken advantage

The third, the bai di cheng 白帝城 that located with an old, respected, and famous four-sided Buddha temple. It dissapointed me at all after seeing monks/priest in the temple hard-forcing people to take over the wooden splinter on their hands, pray, and then take a 'red packet things' that they mention it will bless you, and finally put in some money into the wooden box. We have gone through those processes without any idea or explanation, pushing and directing here and there by the monks, and finally to the donate box to ask us donate money.

I can still remember that scence, where the monks was shouting at me while the male tour guide protect and pull me away from those monks, " NO!!!! PUT IN THE DONATE MONEY! PUT IN SOME DONATE MONEY!!!!!" The 'monk' was shouting quite aggresively, initially i never expect this to be happened and i was out of condition. After talking to the kind tour guide then i realised that it was the monk losses on his 'business' on letting me have the pray + wooden splinter + a red packet with rice and beans inside FREE. That is why he was so emotion and eager to let me 'donate' money and 'pay'

This is how i learn a valuable lessons in China. After this experience i started to be very carefull on how to give off money to temple and how to choose a good temple that are not fullfilling with ruleless 'monks'.

Do they have any idea that i can sue them under law?

They force people to perform business with them under unwillingness and with witness from the tour guide who pull me out from crowd, i really wish to make report and chase them out of that respectable old temple. Temple should not be a business place. there is no law in china stated the temple is a business place. But there is no law stating temple is not a business platfrom either. But ask your conscience, do you think you will like to have people like that your place where you pray and bless your God?

AND WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR PLACE OF PRAYING TO GOD?

Maybe this would be a somehow culture of temple in CHina, but that is not the manner, altitude that you have to temple.

Finally, i would like to express on negative experience on black temple in china, hard-selling in thier tourisms and also positive experience on witness great dams in the world, nice sceneries and having 2 comfortable nights in the cruise. Although i had some negative experience in China, China it is still a wonderfull and great country for me, and after all that teach me on a value lesson not to be such naive, careless when aboard to country and we must arlert and learn to protect ourself.

DAY 12 - SHEN NONG XI BAI DI CHENG AND THE CULTURE OF TOURISM

2009-03-14T21:05:00.000-07:00

Day 12 in Wuhan

In the morning we woke up and i was having some quite moment with vivian. We sang along the cruise while he taking us to next stop, and it reminds us on the drama scene 环珠格格 and we sing many songs from it

While we were enjoying the views there, we and the others tourist were so surprise to see there are faactories along the mountain; they polluted the place!

ehehhe~ but no matter how I must enjoy my time here~

beautiful sceneries..

LSCT my new friends~!!! Formleft is yi sheng, mei yi, me and Ian

that is the san xia~!!!!

heheheh~ fun!!!! I have many good time with LSCT frens! behind me is Jarald!

that is benedict, what are u thinking ben ben?? haha

HTere are boats and houses along the san xia

Famers planting on the vegetables along mountian, you cai 油菜

We next went to Shen nong xi 神农溪 and we saw there are many 船夫 there waiting for visitors

dashing~ my dashing skills!!!! hehhehe~ not the guy inside!! But my dashing skills made him look nice!!!!that is Randolph!!

Tour guide was singing us some local songs, and brieft us on the shen nong xi , and no to mention, she promote the CDs or some local product on boat

La qian, 拉纤，where the local people are there pulling strings, to pull and make the boat move, agianst the streame flow and try to get us the experience on how they used to have their transportation like this

walking on rocks and pulling the string, the string will then pull us, and our boat forward, i feel little sad when i saw this, the people here sweat and suffer to earn thier livings, however, that is in past time. Nowadays the poeple earn their income from tourism industry.

The tour guide promote us on the comb too! there are many vendors selling the combs along/outside shen nong xi!

hehehhe~ a baby is smiling while he is sleeping.... arh... so cute

.... i shooted this immediatly after seeing this.. the local acutally have their family income/doing business while bringing their little children to help out here too. This girl looks veyr tired and i saw her keep lifting up and gone down to have a nap. Very.... tired life.

After that, we went back to ship and heading to our cruise, a long the way we can see those 'hanging coffins' on cliff. That above has a red circle on where the coffin is located, can see? hahah

I shall magnified the photo to have clearer view! This is best shoot i ever had!!! I think among all of us that are only me got this photo!! the coffins are all hundreds or thousands years and above, how the people in olden day hang it up there? No scientific evidences nor myth to proff it, however the locals predicted that when hundreds years ago, the water level of san xia was actually higher and enable boat to send those coffins there and hang it along the cliff

I found a bowl, but i it was too expensive to buy it, the lady then came and find me agian to sell me that bowl in 70 yuan, hhahhaha, nice!

That two rocks standing there look like a lady praying with hands up to godness, as according to tour guide says

At night, we went to bai di cheng, 白帝城 and we saw this old temple with a four sides Buddha in the entrance. This is a hundreds years old ancient buddha temple, inside there those monks hold some wooden splinters and ask me to pray for buddha, i followed and prayed sincerely, but you know what had happen? THE 'MONKS' FORCED ME TO PAY AND DONATE MONEY

However, one of the male tour guide pull me away and ignore them, i was totally out of situation at that time. I went to find out with teacher what had happen and the tour guides told me that this was a 'black temple', and don't pray or 'donate' your money that easily. You have to pay for THEM for praying to God. This confused me, is this the way they USE THE HUNDREDS YEARS OLD OF BUDDHA TEMPLE TO EARN MONEY?

I HAD TO ADMIT THAT I WAS IN DEEP ANGER. AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE PRACTISE THIS AT CHINA. THEY THE MONKS INSULTED THE TEMPLE, BY DOING THOSE UNAPPROPRIATES AND INFRONT OF GODNESS

HUNDREDS YEAR OLD OF BAI DI CHENG TEMPLE, WAS TOTALLY RUINED ON THEIR HAND AND THOSE FAKE MONKS WAS ACTUALLY USING GOD TO MAKE MONEY

AREN'T THEM FEEL SHAMEFULL ON THEIRSELVES?

I'M A FAITHFULL BUDDHIST, AND THIS SAN XIA TRIP LEAVE ME A VERY BAD IMPRESSION BECAUSE OF THIS MATTTER, AND I CHOSE NOT TO BLOG ON SAN TRIP BECAUSE I KNOW I'LL LEAVE HERE WITH VERY NEGATIVE COMMENT; I CAN'T CLAM MYSELF WHEN I SAW THOSE POEPLE FORCES TOURIST TO DONATE MONEY, AND I , NEARLY BE ONE OF THE VICTIM

I AM BUDDHIST, AND I'LL SAY THAT WILL YOU BE EASY AND COMFORTABLE WHEN YOU SAW POEPLE USING GOOD NAME OF GOD TO MAKE BLACK BUSINESS?

With a confused and blank mind i was heading on to the next stop to visit those culprit has build for memorandom of liu bei, zhu ge liang, and xiAng yu

Then we saw this real coffins, people throw money inside and pray to have 横财（棺材）

After visiting, we went back to the cruise and i throw away a packet of 'rice and beans' in red packet, that the 'monks' given and said to me that it will bring me blessing and luck.

Today is the second day we went to the 3 gorgeous dam in yi chang.
