I started the day off with washing up and having some bread for breakfast. I had bubble tea on the way to school. Alicia, Baohui and I were the first ones to reach the classroom area.
While walking to school…
Some morning exercise
The road
Mr. Wee was talking about a story about an overseas student which was his neighbor that the student who did not know a single word of Chinese comes to China alone, without even a scholarship. He just studied books which were written in Chinese and refer to a dictionary or so for the meaning of the words. After hearing about this, it made me realized that if people have the will to do things, like what the brand Nike likes to say that nothing is impossible.
Mr. Wee taught us topic 7
Topic 7 which is site layout covers on the meaning of site layout; the methods of production determines the need for site layout which would be able to provide the most economic and efficient ;and it focuses on the factors that influence the site layout such as contract requirements, statutory requirements, sub-contractors’ requirements, site investigation, site boundaries, temporary works and services, safety aspects, office and administration provisions, material storage, location of plant, planning the layout and communicating the layout.
Alicia, Baohui and I went to Carrefour after lessons and had Ajisen. After that we went walking around Carrefour area to shop of stuff. I brought some clothes and gifts for friends.
While we were shopping, we wanted to get to a restroom to relieve ourselves. However, the thing was that we had great difficulties in finding a restroom. We walked around in circles and circles and could not find a restroom in sight. It was after a long duration that we found a restroom after the long walks and asking of directions. This was a difference compared to Singapore. As in Singapore, we could usually find restroom in almost every floor corners however in China; restroom was like rare in sight. I really ponder about how a person in China gets to a restroom when they want to like don’t they need to relieve themselves.
We then wanted to eat our dinner at KFC but changed our minds and went to a nearby fast food outlet at our hostel area to eat.
When we were taking a taxi back, we flagged a taxi, the taxi driver asked us where we were going and we replied. After that we just entered the taxi. The taxi driver was rude, he gave us a face and kind of told us off even though it is like he is docking off from work, I do not think that he have to give that kind of attitude to us. After all we are your customers.
I went to the apartment Alicia and Baohui was staying at to wear a shower cap and ran back home with a hood covering the shower cap as I did not want the aunty to see me and start asking me questions. Also, it was also embarrassing to wear the shower cap.

I went back to Alicia and Baohui apartment to do tutorial after I have bathed. We chatted, ate and did tutorial.

Back home after that. I heard about the ghost stories that happens at the block next to mine about how there would sound and nobody made it.
