2nd week journal

The 2nd week started after countless of hours playing DOTA(Defence of the Ancients) after the City Tour. Yes we were at fault for being a teeny bit late for classes but the game is too addictive. On Monday we had our first programmable programs done on Microsoft visual studio. Though i did not listen to Mr Ma for some parts i still managed to finish my Lab 1 and 2 with ease. After that, as everyone knows me, i became complacent and thus i did not pay attention to his lectures but instead playing DOTA in class. In front of Mr Teo’s and Mr Tan’s eyes some more! Hahaha. After one of the lectures Mr Teo reprimanded us because we cannot do one of the MessageBox questions as we were not paying attention. My group, except Haikal, apologised and tried not to play games in class anymore.

Sidetrack for a bit. I wished i had bring more coffee for this trip. I’m running out of it. And China’s Nescafe sucks!

The 2nd week was also special as we started playing soccer with the UESTC students. The first match ended 8-8 which the UESTC students won by penalties. I scored 5 in that game. Man of the match la!! The next match with other students ended in 12-7 which we lost but i still scored 3 goals which means a hat trick. I must admit the Chinese people over here has better stamina and has bigger bodies than the average Singaporean which is why i came to conclude that if Singaporeans never train in harsh weathers like the cold weather in Chengdu, Singapore football will still have a gloomy future.

On Saturday, we went to Mount Qingcheng. The journey was a long one. Actually before mount qingcheng there was a place we went but i forgot the name. The only interesting thing in that place was the shaking bridge. Hahaha i shook the bridge until the people there all kanchiong. Hahahaha so ya back to mount qingcheng. My friend, juventus, said it was about 800 metres tall and a lot of temples are located in the mountain. I climb a few flight of stairs already tired but determination in me drove me on until the 2nd temple because we were limited to climb until the 2nd temple. Mr Tan cheated. He and his wife only climb till the first temple. Mr Teo and Mr Ma were energetic throughout even though they have aged. Hahah overall it was a fun week.
