Day 2 started off with most of us waking up near lunch time as pretty much everyone was unpacking and getting used to the room that we all slept pretty late. When i woke up, i went to meet Chong Sian, Mingyu and Polim as well as some others and off we went to explore our surroundings! Below are the pictures we took along the way. We went from campus canteens to rundowned roadside stalls, to restaurants and even to various shopping centres! Enjoy the pictures! (captions will be above the pictures)
Canteen entrance located just beside our hostel
Picture of some of us taking pictures of the surroundings
Who said humans can't lay eggs :P
Bank of china, A restaurant, and a driving centre just infront of it with a car learning how to park
A lady's stall which sells fried rice/noodles and many other dishes! Simple yet delicious!
After walking around for a bit, we decided to settle down and have our lunch at this particular stall! It was pretty crowded so they opened a table for us just right outside their stall.
They had so much dishes! But eventually we decided with Beef Fried Rice! Their portion is so big that the dish looked like a mountain of rice! It was pretty oily though, but it was nice overall! Also, Polim brought a few bottles of Garlic Chili and we ended up eating it with the fried rice. YUM!
After our sumptious and filling lunch, we headed to a nearby supermart. They had almost all our daily neccesities sold there, as well as a very wide spread of instant noodles! So we decided to buy some for ourselves incase we get hungry in the hostel. We even bought a kettle so that we could boil water for our noodles
A pretty nice building! Hope our classes would be there! But most likely not :P

After heading back to the hostel, i went over to Polim's room. As we had a few hours before dinner, we decided to play Poker cards to kill time! This pack of cards were bought from the supermart too.
After awhile, we felt hungry, so thats where our instant noodles come in handy :P
However, the noodles did not fill our stomachs and we were still hungry! So we went around looking for food and saw.... Many many many many many road side stalls selling food! However it wasn't what we felt like eating. So we continued down the road. Along the way, we saw litter almost everywhere thrown by people after they have finished eating their food they ordered.
Picture of some of the roadside shops
After a few minutes of walking, we saw a familiar sight... KFC! :D
So we decided that we would eat there for today. However it was so crowded. So we ordered takeaway and went back to the room to eat.
China's KFC menu. Pretty different from Singapore's KFC menu
We ordered a family meal which came with 6pieces of chicken, some bread, some fried chicken wings and headed back to our hostel. Below is the picture! Tadah!
After a long day, we washed our own clothes and hung them across our room! We didn't have a proper hanging area as the string to hang our clothes in our room was missing. So we got some Rafia string and tied it from one end of the room to the other and we hung all our clothes up on it.
Laundry after 1 day!
And now, its time for...
REFLECTIONS!
After today, i have learnt how to not take things for granted whereby back in Singapore, my maid or mother would always buy or cook food for me when i'm hungry. Whereas over here, no one is going to do that. If i am hungry, i have to go and get my own food for myself if not i'll just starve.
Also, after seeing China's driving school, i feel really proud to be a Singaporean as we have such nice driving schools around and not rundowned ones as seen above. Also, looking at how hard the china people work just to make a living has really taught me how to be contented with what i have and not take everything, including my parents for granted as they are working so hard just to support my family, and me. Seeing how the China people seem happy with what they have really puts me to shame as i have so much back in Singapore yet i still get disappointed when i cannot get something i want. When infact i already have so much. So in short, i have really really learnt how to appreciate and be contented with what i have.
So thats all for day 2 once again, and sorry about the late post! Feel free to comment if u readers have any :)
