Day 33

We planned to stay in our bunks today to have a good good rest.
Its been quite awhile since I have a very good rest.
So today, I slept to my content and woke up naturally.

We then went to play basketball to have some fun. We were planning on playing tabletennis again, but the club house was not opened as it was a Sunday. Anyway, since the weather is good with the sun shining above us, we headed to the basketball court instead. It feels good to exercise under the sun, furthermore we will not sweat due to the cool weather.
In Singapore, I will sweat a lot just by standing under the sun for ten minutes. However, in the weather now in Wuhan, I can play basketball for an hour under the sun without sweating. Thats one of the reason why I loved Wuhan.

Time passes specially fast today, I do not know why.
We played till about 7pm. We went for dinner and we went back to our bunks. I did some work, Miniproject and IS report.
I was very tired and sleepy today, and about 10.30pm, I started sleeping. After a few minutes after I closed my eyes, Jit Siong came to my room. He said that Ernest bought a huge cake and invite us to their bunk. However, during that time, I was already half asleep. I closed my eyes and hesitated, but I fell asleep seconds later.

Day 34

Woke up in the morning and did my Miniproject. I've finished the main functions of my program, I just need to do a final touchup before completion.
I did until the others wake up to have lunch together before the extra class. I need revision on chapter 7.

After class, we went back to bunk and then out again for dinner at about 7.30pm with Xinrong and Zhihui. As we were walking to Hua Tai Jie, we walked passed a man by the roadside who just got down from a cab. He had his back facing us as we walked pass. As we walked past, we felt that the man resembles someone, Mr.Ma! and indeed he was.
He just came back and we heard from Mr.Chua that Mr.Ma's leg is having some problems, and had difficulty walking. So, we walked Mr.Ma to a restaurant to wait for Mr.Chua. Get well soon and take care Mr.Ma!

Back to our dinner. We ate at Hua Tai Jie again today. And as usual, we ordered Tang Yuan and dumplings from the same stall. We ordered quite a lot today, and this time, the auntie gave us aditional 11 dumplings for free. Since we are regular customers who go to buy TangYuan from them almost everyday, the auntie and her family who are tending the stall treated us nicely.
This shows how nice some locals can get. Every cent to them is important, however they simply gave us free dumplings without hesitation. Money may be important, but relationships may be more important for them.

As we were walking back to hostel after dinner, we saw Mr.Ma, Mr and Mrs. Chua and the hospital. Mr.Ma went to see the doctor due to the leg injury. We chatted awhile and headed back to bunk.


About one week left before we are leaving for Singapore. There are still many work to do.
