Day 8 - OIE + PM + No outing = Nothing special

September 21, 2010 is a normal day for me. Nothing much I did today. We had our lesson as usual , 9am was the start of OIE and after lunch was our PM lesson. Today I almost got late again, lesson starts at 9am and I woke up at 845am. Gosh I was rushing like mad, took a fast wash up and quickly change and rushed to the classroom. Well Thanks Yuhaw for calling me a lot of times LOL, sorry can’t get up :/

Hmm what should I blog for today? Why not let me share some of the things I studied today in OIE and PM. Firstly for OIE we are thought basically on the areas in china. They are divided into south, northeast etc. We study the map of china and those provinces. Today’s teacher was not Ms Zhang, is another teacher who is in charge of teaching China’s culture too. She’s call ms grace. She talks more lively and trying to capture our class attention for lessons. Well she’s funny too, trying to talk using her own words rather than reading from the PowerPoint slides. Also she will get very stress and pressurize when she is unable to answer our question. We did some exercises too like identifying those places in china etc…
Also today ms grace told us 1 phrase " 天上有九头鸟,地下有湖北佬" This means that people in HuBei is very smart in the way of how they treat people. It might be deal in business or something else. Well i am not sure also. This is just what ms grace told me. :o

Exercises we done in OIE class
















This is what we mainly learn in OIE, still got more but I guess if I continue writing, my blog will be very dry… Okay next was lunch time… Today’s lunch was taken inside our bunk. Must be wondering that Maggie Mee again right? WRONG , we call for delivery today, from a vegetarian stall near our hostel. We are too lazy to walk out to buy our canteen food so Han Hui decided to call the vegetarian Delivery. We had a chat with the delivery guy because we went once or twice to his shop and now he recognized us. Another funny thing was we just anyhow bomb to him that we are from Fu Jian (福建), but how coincidence that he was also from there. So this is how our whole conversation starts. Besides that, the food is nice too, so if next time we are lazy to buy food, we will keep calling for delivery. Cheap + save time = 划算 (worth) ^_^


Our lunch
















Up next, PM lesson FTW. Once again my mentor ms hock Aka Module leader of PM , teaches us on AOA ( Active – on – Arc ) It’s the same as AON just that the arrows represents the activities. Okay, this is a little confusing for you’re so ignore it. Did some of the exercise and assignments on AOA and after that Ms hock teaches us on how to go BLOG SHOPPING. She is very excited when it comes to Blog shopping. She gets very enthusiastic and keeps on smiling and laughing. ( HAHA please don’t mark me down Ms hock , stating it based on my observation :p)


Ms Hock teaching us AOA


















Showing us how to buy thing through blog





















Went back hostel after lessons and rest took a few hour of rest. Dinner settled in 柠檬乐( Our common eating area ) After dinner, I guarantee that everyone feels happy because WUHAN finally experience the cold weather at 19 degrees!!! WOOT! Finally, bye hot weather, welcome Cool weather!! Okay… end of my story for today, I know its dull, dry and boring, SORRY : (

Self- reflection :
Today my reflection is going to a have an overview of my 1st week life in Wuhan. Starting from the day I left till now, things changed. Learning how to be more independent, alert and other stuffs. Day by day passes, from a group of strangers (for some of us) has graduate develop closer bonds with each other. Well such things are hard to describe, but sometimes feelings are quite accurate when it comes to friendships. In Wuhan, I have seen a lot of difference and similarities in Singapore. Weather, climate, food, language and standard of living is all different from Singapore. Even though the environment might not be albe to compare to Singapore but people in Wuhan are still living here happily. This is the kind of quality of life which is different from Singapore. Well that’s all for today, very tired now. Once again sorry for the boring post >< Cya!
