It was the last day in Wuhan and woke up at around 7+ in the morning and Weiguang bought xiaolong bao for breakfast, thanks a lot for that :)
After that, decided to have a last walk at the backstreet by looking at how it looks like and purchase buns for breakfast. Went to get ready our luggages where each of us weighed to check whose luggage was overweight. Thereafter we boarded the bus where a few of the local students followed us to send us off at the airport.
After reaching the airport, Mr Wong made some enquiries at the counter and found out that flight we were supposed to take will be delayed and they tried to push up to earlier flight which we managed to do so. It was supposed to depart at 1330 hrs but was delayed to 1540+ hrs.

Before entering the immigration, some of the local students were sad and some of them broke down and the atmosphere was sombre but don't worry we will be seeing some of them on this coming July!!! We board the plane not by aerobridge but by airport bus where it brought us to another area where the plane was situated and it was raining and the staircase leading to the plane has no shelther. haha
When we reached Guangzhou, it was rushing and chaotic for us as we left with only 1 hour to connect the flight to Singapore. Luckily, we managed to reach on time and the plane managed to depart on time. I sat next to the emergency exit and the air stewardess asked me to read through the manual on how to operate in case of an emergency. Sitting beside me was Xinhui from LSCT and beside her was the air stewardess and we managed to have a chat with her to know each other more and also both country's lifestyle and etc... She gave us some snacks when we reached Singapore which was so nice from her :)
When the plane touched down on the runway of the airport, some of them rejoiced. However for me, I did not have any feeling. Perhaps I still miss Wuhan as I told some of my trip mates that I do not mind staying there for 6 months. haha
As I found out that, it will teach me to become more independent as I need to decide on what should I do for my chores, food and etc... But perhaps I may miss home as Singapore is still my homeland and this is where I belong.
Went to the DFS to purchase some stuffs for my dad before collecting the luggage before going out of the arrival gate where took group photos.
Was surprised that my aunt was there besides my parents where I told them not to fetch me.
Want to thank my aunty for driving me back home :)

A big thank to all my trip mates and also our leader, Mr Wong Chun Chong for making this trip a possible one!

Take care everyone :)

Breakfast with Weiguang

Woke up close to 9am where I met up with my group members to discuss on the theme for the movie maker and what will the procedures be like.
Went to pack up my luggage before going over to Xu Dong Jie area (Wal-mart) with Seok Hui and Meiyun for last min shopping and relaxation at Starbucks.
When we reached the place, we saw that there was a carnival going on where owners sold their items by using the car boot.
Spent some time to shop before going to the arcade and play as the price is cheaper than in Singapore before going back to shop again where I went to Wal-mart to purchase stuffs from my friends
Before joining with the girls at Starbucks, I went to meet up with Mr Yan where I had meet him in church to bid him farewell and he is doing on the area of delivery and logistics too.
Thereafter, went to purchase latte and pastry and to enjoy the last few moment I have in Wuhan as I rarely go to Starbucks in Singapore as the price is more expensive than Wuhan as from what I heard from Seok Hui.
As Seok Hui knew the staff, Ellen, very well. Ellen organised a coffee tasting for us which lasted for 30mins and this was my first time experience in Starbucks. She asked to taste the coffee and describe the smell, taste and etc...
It was a good experience for me. haha
After that went to Ni Nan for dinner for the last time and ordered many dishes as they are yummy and delicious and cooked according to our local style which followed by bidding farewell to the owner where we took group shots.
It was followed by last minute shopping over at Jian Er shopping mall and went to purchase pastries and thank plus bidding farewell to the cake shop owner which similarly, we took group shots too.
After that, came back to pack up and it took me around 1 hour to pack up before calling it a night

Inside the church

Woke up at around 7:30am in the morning to prepare to head off to the church to attend service to commemorate the death of Jesus where he died upon the cross and forgive our sins. It was during peak hour when I took the bus and it became more and more crowded when it passed through the different bus stops and typical scene happened where passengers asked people at the front to pay for the fare before going over to the back and board.
I think they face the similar situation of what is happening in Singapore as some of the passengers are not willing to move to the rear when there are spaces and they like to crowd around the exit so that it will be easier for them to alight.
The service was a short and was fully seated but not overflow as it is not a Public Holiday in China.
After service, went to purchase a few stuffs for my relatives and friends before heading back to campus and to go with a few of them for lunch at the back street before going to Wal-mart area (Xudong Jie) for KTV session and to purchase stuffs for the farewell session in the evening.
Talking about the KTV session, it was a first time for me which was fun and interesting even though I did not know some of the lyrics when I was singing and if possible by huming to the tune. haha
Went to Wal-mart to purchase stuffs where I purchased Pizza for dinner. It was nice and delicious. Decided to take taxi back to hostel, the meter had problems during the journey and we reached the destination, the taxi driver was honest and charged us 10 yuan for the trip which was cheaper than using meter.

After that went with a few others for dinner before purchasing more stuffs for the farewell event.
Had the event at the classroom block and we had 5 cakes O.O which we did not manage to eat finish and everyone did enjoy themselves even though saw some of them breaking down as we are leaving on Sunday.
Take care everyone!
