42 Days in Wuhan

Image
我会想念我在武汉度过的时光。 It's our last night in Wuhan and honestly my feelings are damn mixed. It's not like I want to stay because I really fucking miss my girlfriend I need to go back to her. But I am going to miss this place with it's cheap food and awesome shopping and things that just will never ever happen in Singapore. I'm gonna miss the bbq chicken, the ma la mian (aka yong tau foo), the various jian baos and dumplings, the korean meat wrap and other wraps, Bi Feng Tang (milk tea and QQ dan zai aaah), tauhuay, teppanyaki food, the bread shop, the snacks from the grocery shops and basically most of the things we've eaten and the people we've been seeing the past 6 weeks and also the cooling weather. There are things I won't miss though. Number 1 on the list are the TOILETS. Mosquitoes are not far behind. Definitely also won't miss the rude and uncouth people, getting stared at, washing my own clothes and the general (lack of) cleanliness of the place.

I climbed 10 Bukit Timah Hills

Spent Friday to Sunday up in the mountains~ Wudang Shan to be exact. The bus journey was hell sia wtf. I stayed up to do work but I didn't do any work lol I skyped LRY! New York seems cool bro have fun living the NY life. I hope you don't get mugged wtf. Anyway I slept through (or concussed during) the 6-7 hour long bus journey to the base of the mountain where we had lunch. Then came the most horrible 1 hour bus journey I've ever taken in my entire life. Firstly there was this China douche ugh who squeezed his way up the bus and we nearly had to split up to take different buses wtf man and he said something the lines of "How did the teachers teach the students?" HELLO BITCH WE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING?! AND YOU FUCKING SPAT ON THE BUS YOU UNCOUTH THING!!! PUI!!! Spit on your cb face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO ANGRY!!! KNN!!!!!!! I didn't know then but I just realised I stared at him for half the bus journey -_- Became super nauseous cuz the bus was like wind

Half half

Just had like an ~emotional moment~ with Livia, Weilin and Yanhong. Weilin barged into our room tearing while carrying waffles and a bowl of yong tau foo and started blubbering about how by this time next week we won't be able to buy all these food anymore and we won't be seeing them anymore and then Livia and I started tearing cuz crying is contagious if everyone feels the same. We've all grown attached to this place that over time, became dear to us. I still remember when we first arrived I couldn't wait to go back to Singapore and just get this done and over with. Our stay here was unpleasant at first, but bearable but it was all goood. I will miss Wuhan. :'( The awesome and cheap food, cheap and fantastic shopping, super cooling weather and the independence of it all. It is a once in a lifetime experience man.  We had our last IS class on Monday. Actually this week's a blur to me zomg I lost my wallet somewhere this week my I/C, all my money, my atm ca

Already spent 30 days in Wuhan

I wanted to post up cool photos of everyone plucking oranges but the trip's been postponed as it rained!!! IT GETS FUCKING COLD EACH TIME IT RAINS. LIKE TEETH-CHATTERING COLD. I hope it stops raining it makes me cold and wet and miserable and snively. I only like the rain when I'm indoors and preferably under a blanket (girlfriend optional but preferred) in bed. Anyway we (Livia, Weilin, Yanhong) tried to flag a cab for about an hour to no avail because from China's having a holiday from 1 - 7 October and all the students were going home and all the cabs/buses were packed like sardines. I saw a girl puke from the window of a moving bus wtf!!! Only in China. All in all it was a dreary morning/afternoon. I went grocery shopping with Livia to settle all the presents and here's our trolley: (from Livia's fb) 201 yuan worth of goodies!!!!. I am going to go grocery shopping again because I think it's not enough knn. Had a claypot/mixed rice dinner!!! Y
