Last day in CHINA!

we had IS presentation in the morn!

we presented on:

PANDAS!

(their behavior, their diet, the conservation efforts and panda reproduction)

after tat wen bac 2 pack food up to our dorm

our last fattening lunch!

our food is always either too oily or too salty!

our room on the last day!

messy eh!

check out the size of their matches!

WOW!

our sichuan sch food card

if we top up this card, we can pay with this card instead of cash

our final moments in the sch!

some random shots!

anyways this was one awesome journey i took, with my wonderful, fun-loving friends

it was full of tears of joy and tears of sadness

it was full of too much playing and too little studying

it was full of life!

i will miss Sichuan

especially the people who made this trip a memorable one!

though it took some time to adapt to,
i am glad i made this decision to spend my holidays in China

it was an enriching experience!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Mr nick knocked on our door at 7.15 to inform us tat we would be shopping afterall!

we went to Tom's Hometown to shop!

His city has been awarded the cleanest city in the whole of china!

WOW!

his city is very clean (for china's standards)!

 our mode of transport?! 

A TRAIN!

woots~

damn shiok!!
(my virgin train ride!)

their train station is like our changi airport!

it was rebuilt coz during the Sichuan Earthquake, the building was destroyed

just for laughs!

anyways our last train was scheduled to be at 5.30pm

so we left our shopping place at arnd 4.20pm

it was supposed to be like a 20mins bus jounery

BUT THERE WAS A PROTEST/RIOT blocking the way!

omg i was soo bloody scared!

Japanese cars were flipped over

and as we walked down futther, we could see the crowd getting rdy to flip other japanese cars over

omg i was so scared thr might be an explosion or sumthing!!

damn super scary but an invaluable experience!

n we had 2 take the train!

n we had to walk for like at least 2km!

n rahima's leg was swollen n she cld not walk

so darrick, zh, farhan and jeremy took turns to piggy back her!

so sweet of them right!

my frens r such great gentlemen!

we went to earthquake zone today

our whole mornin was spent thr

it is a very sad place,
there r no roofs and many collapsed buildings
over 300 workers died during the Sichuan Earthquake
it is very disheartening to go to such places
its totally like a ghost town
kinda reminds me of the Chernobyl accident
:(

aft tat the sch bus dropped us off at our sch

we taxi-ed to guanghan!

this lady does this handicraft

the girls decided 2 do manicure (after a Dico's Lunch)

(Dico's is china's version of fast food)

(yup even KJ and Zh did it!)

his one is damn ugly tho!

even tho ZH bites his nails, he ended up doing a beetle/strawberry on his thumb!

i forgot 2 take a pic of it!!

and since my nails r so short (i would end up biting them anyways)

i didnt wanna waste money doing manicure

so i wen for a massage instead w alloy, kj, zh

aft tat we went for a karoke session!!

it was damn fun

but i was super tired!

2mr we r supposed 2 go to Chengdu to do shopping

but becoz thr is some riot/protest going on, we cant go!

we r all super duper disappointed!

:(

y do they have to riot on the very same weekend that we were meant to go shoppin!??!?!?!

its currently 2am on a saturday morn! :)

anyways i did a doggie collage of all the dogs i have taken pics with (it was XuEn's Idea~!)

look wat kye jie bought for us girls!

mine = green, 

rahima = yellow, 

askme = red, 

xuen = purple

so sweet of him :)

thanks kj :)

We graduated today! :) :)

we even got our own folder like cert

it says:

"this is to certify that (my name) has completed a course of study in Chinese Traditional Culture and Etiquette from 14 Sep to 18 Oct 2010 at Sichuan Aerospace Polytechnic, China"

wow i was super damn touched that they did this for us!

seriously damn super touched!

after that we took turns taking pictures w mr nick, the directors

look at chang, (hes wearing mr nick's coat n hes puffing his chest out n being super funny!)

heres me&mr nick :)

aft the ceremony we went to this coountry club n had dinner!

I had BROCCOLI!
omg omg omg!

it was the best dish!

super duper awesome broccoli!

i miss broccoli so much! :(

XuEn and I Love BROCCOLI! :)

i know it seems stupid 2 get so excited over a simple dish like broccoli but it makes me appreciate Singapore so much more now!

Thank god I am a Singaporean!
