What We Did

This morning, woke up at around 7.45am. We prepared for Lesson Lab 6, which was still having problems. I had to ask Mr. Chua to clarify on the Chapter once more. We got ready and left the hostel at around 8.30am for our Class.

When we went to class, we started on Chapter 7 of the Module: Arrays. It was the last Chapter of the Application Programming Module. It was also the last lesson for the Module as well. All we had to do was to complete, Lab 6, Lab 7, Tutorial 7, Mini Project and our Final Theory Test in the coming week. That is certainly a lot of work to do. During the morning part of the lesson, Mr. Ma went through with us Chapter 7. He managed to complete within an hour and started on our Tutorial as well. As we did not have the Tutorial for the particular chapter, we did the Tutorial with Mr. Ma as he displayed the Questions on the Screen. We completed the Tutorial by 11.30am. We thought of staying behind to clarify with Mr. Ma regarding Lab 6, but he and Mr. Chua had to rush off for an interaction session with WUST Teachers. So, we took our leave.

For Lunch, we headed to Canteen 3 to have our meals. It was not that crowded, so we were able to take our time to order our food, without the need to fight for space. After our meals, we headed back to the hostel, where we took a short break before leaving for lesson once again.

During the afternoon lesson, we started on our Lab 7, which was equally as hard as Chapter 6. Although, Mr. Ma mentioned that it was easy, we felt that it was much harder to complete. After showing Mr. Ma my Lab 6 for evaluation, I started on my Lab 7. I thought that I could finish Lab 7 by the end of the Lesson, but I ended up getting stuck on the 2nd Part of the Lab for about two hours. I had many student s as well as Mr. Ma on how to solve it. They didn’t know about it. I felt very frustrated but I tried to find the solution. Finally Siew Bo came with a Solution. I was finally able to continue after being stuck for about an hour and a half. Time was already running out, as all of our classmates had left.

While we were still packing, a student came into the classroom. We thought she was a Student who was attending night classes, but she came in to clean the room. She is actually student but she is under a department of the school to clean the particular class that we were using. I was initially taken aback, as I did not realize such a department existed in which students were to clean the premises. She felt slightly shy to take a picture. So, Sasireika took a picture with her instead.

After lesson, we headed back to the hostel and placed our belongings there and did some of our Assignments before heading out for dinner and to buy our breakfast for the next day. While waiting for the girls, Sebastian tried climbing the wall next to the Staff Recreation Centre.

While walking back, we walked past the night market stalls and bought our favourite fish pancake. I also tried out the yogurt at the local minimart. It tasted quite good actually. We came back to continue with our revision for our Theory Test the next day and our other pending assignments as well.

What We Think

Time flies fast. We were here, in China, for 4 Weeks and as the day comes to an end, we would be leaving for Singapore in 2 Weeks. We have somewhat adapted to the weather and climate of the region, immersed ourselves in the cultural and heritage sites of Wuhan, China and many more. I have certainly made new friends in China as well as among our Schoolmates.
Not only that, I have also learned about many aspects of Chinese Issues, such as Business Etiquette, Strategies, History, Culture and many more. As the coming two weeks come to a close, I would like to experience more about China and Wuhan to a much greater extent.
