6th week journal

During Tomb Sweeping Day (a holiday here in china), Nizam, Haikal and I, went to go and see pandas. The place is quiet far away. It was raining and i decided to buy an umbrella just for a mere 10 RMB which Shawn still says i got conned. Hahah so yeah the pandas were cute. Took a lot of pictures and videos. After we got back to the campus, all of our time was concentrated on studying APPG. I don’t want to go back Singapore and still need to take APPG as that would be a waste of time. But the day wasn’t totally a studying one as at night we still had the time to play one game of dota.

The next day was APPG theory test 2. I had my doubts over topic 6 and 7 but topic 1 to 5 seemed okay so i am sure i can pass the test. Let’s just hope the lecturers are lenient enough. After the test, we had a field trip to a singtel company here in Chengdu. The CEO is a Singaporean! Apparently he had been out of Singapore for 7 years already. Woa i can tahan for 6 weeks but 7 years?! No way. We got to tour around the company for an hour and after that went back to campus.

Thursday was fast approaching. It was our IS presentation. I worked on it all day during Wednesday even skipping dinner to finish our presentation while polishing it up with videos. I did three out of the four videos presented. I will upload the videos on facebook after I’m back in Singapore.

The day of the presentation. My group was the fourth to present. There were a lot of groups though. So after we presented, confirm got extra time to play games on laptop. Haha. I thought my group presentation was entertaining and funny although it lacked content but it was ok. I was satisfied. I was amazed with Daniel’s group presentation as their content was strong and their videos were funny especially the part where they were blowing out gas due to the cold weather.

The next day which was Friday proved to be a memorable but sad day for us who played soccer with the Uyghur. It was the last match with them. I scored another hat trick to make it 22 goals for 6 weeks. I forgot how many matches we played. But overall not bad for someone fat. Hahahaha so after the match we took pictures and hugged the uyghurs as they have given us this friendship. If they weren’t there for us, i believe my six weeks here will be dull. Thanks Uyghur

Hudabade, Aziz, Xaparang, Hoji, Mohammed Aziz, Khair, Anwar and the rest of the Uyghur. Thank you all.
