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

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

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~

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.
