Day 34 - Singapore Here I Come!

This is a rep people!

Morning! It is finally the day we will be heading back to our homeland, Singapore. I woke up early this morning and left my bunk at 7am as I want to head over to the back street one last time to buy whatever food is nice there for my family! A whole huge bag! I was back at hostel at 7.30 and quickly pack whatever left and moved my luggage downstairs! Everyone met downstairs at 8am before heading to the bus for an hour bus journey to the airport! And yup, that's right. We have to carry our luggage up to the back of the bus once again. Why call buses where luggage can't be loaded down below. LAWLS. Some of the local students helped us too.

Journey to the airport.

We arrived at the airport at 9.30 and down came the luggage from the back of the bus. One by one. Heavy heavy luggage. Luckily we had like MANY guys to help us. The LSCT people die man, there is only 2 guys for their group. Checked in and walked around before the time to go into the gates. Slacked outside the gate and I was real happy. I do not know why. I miss Wuhan but miss Singapore too. And I can't wait to be home. I couldn't stop being hyper and jumpy and kept running around like a small child. But I just couldn't help it. I am really excited to see my loved ones again! (:

This is beloved A-TEAM!

And finally at 1.30pm, we all board the plane to GuangZhou! And after a minute after the plane took off, Brenda went off and went into a deeeep sleep! It was the last 25 minutes when I was awaken to complete my lunch. Taste good urh!

Read this people! It's damn joke!

Buildings here are damn narrow and close to each other! What a sight!

We arrived at GuangZhou airport at 3.05 and headed for transit! Like I said, I was so hyper and I did silly weird things and got Liang Xun to push me on my trolley. HAHAHA! And so did Yan Fang and Yi Xian (: yay! Luckily I wasn't the only one! :X I was really having a great time (: gees. We went into our gate and rest before boarding the next plane which was heading back to our homeland of Singapore! Everyone was getting food and stuff over at the transit and as for me, I took out whatever money I left which was only RMB$8 to look for something and spend it all away. But I realised there isn't anything I could buy. Yi Xian then donated RMB$2 and I found a RMB$10 thing and bought it straight away! No one cash people!

Looks weird for a toilet roll

This is what I spend my last RMB$10 on!

And yes finally, just 3.5 hours away, we are going to touch down to Singapore! YAY! I can't wait seriously! Finished our dinner and even how excited I was, Brenda was tired and fell fast asleep once again. We arrived at Singapore at around 10pm and headed over to the duty free shops to get stuff and collected our luggages. Took the last group photo together and off we went to our separate ways.

When I was in the car going home, I closed my eyes and thought about Wuhan, the place I used to spend my 34 days in. I visualized myself roaming around the hostel into every spot and remembering whether did I leave something there and forgotten to bring it back. To every part of Wuhan I visited and remembering the days we spent. It will be stored in my head, always in, never out.

Reflections

Gosh! Where do I start? I couldn't believe 34 days passed so quickly. Just with a blink of an eye! Time really flies when you are having fun! And I will definitely miss you Wuhan. Memories there with my friends will be kept within. Too sweet to be even be replaced.

I came here not knowing anyone only Weilin and Liang Xun and I left this unknown place which I know very well now with many friends (: You all came as strangers but we part as friends, I will never forgot you guys for being there for me. Waking up each morning and seeing you guys there. I will miss those times. I can say that I am growing up, learning to be independent along the way, taking care of myself. And even coming to this unknown place and barely knowing anyone before hand for 5 weeks. I can survive this making me strong inside. Building potential in me.

Any events I see, I will definitely take part. But this, was the most memorable event I've ever been to. This trip to Wuhan made me realised how fortunate I am to be living in Singapore. Everything here is so advanced, we have the money, everything is possible. But in Wuhan, some people are poor and couldn't even afford much things. So each time you complain about what you don't have, think about those poor people living here begging on the street. We are already so fortunate and stop complaining. I am really glad to be a Singaporean, and this is where I belong; Home. I really had a great opportunity to step out of my comfort zone to experience how another part of the world is living like. Though times are hard, we were still able to pull ourselves through. It is all rights if you stumble, learning from mistakes will make you better.

And I've learnt many things through this trip too. The history, the cultural, the food, the people, the places and many more. I feel that knowing this making me feel knowledgeable man! And I still yet to learn more! For me being able to reach the top of 武当山 was my greatest achievements. My team was there supporting and waiting for each other. And not giving up as we had to film up there. If one break down, there wouldn't be a full force.

And I believe I had improved on my Mother Tongue. Speaking mostly Chinese with the people over there and friends correcting my broken Chinese language was a great deal. Though it was tough communicating but we still had fun laughing and correcting each other’s funny weird language.

I thought 5 weeks was long, but come to think of it again. I would want to spend more time there. I am already so used to the life there. I will miss everything, the food, the people, the local students, the places. What a great time I had there! I can’t wait to tell my friends and family more about my first-hand eye-opening experience in Wuhan and making them feel how lucky I was to be there, wishing that they were me too.

And a great thanks to all the people who were there with me. Mr Chia too.
And especially my A-TEAM man! I love you guys!

Though this Wuhan journey is over, but our friendship is just the beginning...
