Firstly, I would like to welcome and thank you for reading my Wuhan blog, the journal that I am going to write and record down our daily activities and also every touching moments. Do allow me to send a great and warm welcome to everyone! heheh!



Midnight in Singapore Changi Airport


My families and I overnight in the Changi airport and wait for flights. Singapore Changi airport is my first destinations and that I can go to there by taking MRT. After aboard from MRT, dad mom and I can see 2 huge and long escalators that connect us to airport main lobby. The MRT costs me about $1.80 and it takes me about 50 minutes to go there. By the way, for everyone that needs to go airport you need to transfer line at Tanah Merah and it will pass through Expo to terminate at Changi Airport. Form there main lobby we've taken Skytrain to go to terminal 1 and we took our flights at belt passageC16. Heheh thanks lot to big bro telling me all this and send me to airport. Although we have some fights with him matters on packaging and things to be caution while in airport but I'm feeling down and sorry and we should really listen to our eldests says.






I have reached airport at about 9p.m the day before and we need to wait until the next morning 5.30a.m the others OIP Wuhan students gather time and to 8.05a.m, the China Southen airplane flights that will transship flights at Guangdong and change plane to Wuhan. Airport is very very cool in midnight as we have to wear thick jacket and the chairs are curved and hard to sleep flat on it. How surprise is while i was eating my breakfast with mummy and see nobody, xing yu, my classmates suddenly called me asked :"zee min ar, where are u? we all here already!" I am really surprise to hear that and quickly throw the spoons forks down and run to meet them. Thank you Xiang Yu you are the one calling me and concern where I am, and i'm really touching wor!!! hahahaha, besides, XY, my classmates called me, wei guang (Uncle Ong, that i use use to call him haha) has called me at the time right i cut off the hp to Xiang Yu, and said axiously "Hey Where are you!!! (I;m eating!)€&*%#@". And at there the counter 4, i have seen many OIP friends with thier parents too, my daddy mommy talked to them too and they share lots of experiences during packaging and nagging their children's lugguage (and i'm with nearly overweight lugguages oh mummy :P). Very touching to see that Mr. Lim Choon Boon, Mr. Chia to send us off and i thought we will only have our OIP trip leader Mr.Wong Chun Chong bringing and taking care of us. Thank you Mr. Wong for taking care of us all along the way and we are really appreciate this, and my room is just besides of you i think you have to get ready ttahan me kacao you!We took group photos with banners and heading to deliver big lugguages, weighting and labelling, scan passport, then enter abording area, scaning hand lugguages and shoulder bags, passes through passage to channel belt C16 and give off our air ticket and scan the bar code. The airplane is now can be seen so clearly and big in size and that is what really exciting me to be looking for.







Guangzhou Bai Yun Airport and Wuhan Airport



We have reached Guangzhou Bai yun airport after 3.40 hours flight and reached there about 2p.m. Because of transshipment of planes, we have took out our lugguages from belts and deliver in again to the Guangzhou Services counter, without scaning and labelling because it already has labelling, then with oour hand lugguage we have take off to second levfel of airport and shopping/taking lunch over there. BOlws of very common noodels cost me about RMB 30-48, oh my, that is so expensive, and i dare not to buy and just went to a "guardian" shop to buy RMB 1 of distillled mineral water. I have spoken very cantonese language to the lady in cashier and that delights me, I can speak cantonese smoothly like a expert without doubting from the Guangzhou locals!



At Wuhan Airport there are about 8 students from Wuhan university came to invite us to come and they are actually commetee form student union of WUST logistic course, attach to WUST and Ngee Ann Polytechnic the double certifications of tetiary education institute. We went to WUST by bus and the driver is left side driving, when cross the road must look at left, and MR.Wong S.F, the other lecturer attach WUST teaching at here told me somethings very memorable and impressive, "Never compare, never compare Singpaore and China they different country with different culture, learn to be open minded". That is the golden word and carrying with me after i fall asleep in the bus.





We throw our lugguages into 2 rooms and went for dinner with those local students, the food quite salty, oily, with heavy tastes and it is quite hard to get use to this heavy salt prefference. We have chat with locals students and in mandraine tohugh teacher encourage us to speak english to them hehe. They are all very nice students and the most memorable is JIA YI and XIA LU, they are eating with us and share us the local matters.
