Yeah finally it is weekend; we are going to the beautiful three gorges. Fill with excitement, we aboard the bus and set off to three gorges. In the afternoon we finally reached three gorges it was beautiful and amazing, however we had not aboard the ship yet. We went to the dams to have sightseeing and learn more about the dam, like what is the benefits and uses. It was a beautiful place for photo taking. At night after dinner, we finally aboard the ship, we were really excited and the weather on that night is freezing cold. The room of the ship is not that bad after all...haha it was better than what i expect.

REFLECTIONS
Today at the dam, i learn the history of the dam and its benefits. The dam is really useful as it can generate electricity and agriculture too. I also observe many tunnels and bridges were built in our journey. I began to think how they build it because is mountain everywhere and it is too dangerous to build at such condition. Well it was really amazing.

Today was a raining day, it was freezing cold and windy too. We ran as fast as we could for classes, so as to get so wet. In class we started our lab2 excise; it was really tougher than excise 1. I had some difficulties in it tough.
After classes we to the club house for basketball. We played with the student of Wuhan University. It was really a turf match, because they are really strong in playing basketball. However we manage to win them by some points, we overcome our fear and keep pushing never give up. I m very proud that we won the match, i really put in a lot of effort for this game, haha i scored the highest point. What an achievement.
REFLECTIONS
Today i observe the way china people played basketball. I realise they are quite rough and quick. Their defence are tight and aggressive. Really respect their fighting spirit.

Today my group had present the history of Wuhan and Singapore to the class. Overall i find our presentation was pretty good, we did not just read from the text, we got further elaborate the point itself.
Today we had an early release, we went to play basketball and soccer haha... It was really fun and i sweat alot too. After playing basketball, we went for dinner. Then after dinner when we return to our room, we saw our bunk mates celebrating one of their classmate birthday. We saw them bought a large cake, then he ask us to join them. We felt happy and brotherly. We sang happy birthday song for him and ate the cake, really had a enjoyable time.

REFLECTIONSToday at the cake shop, i bought two chocolate cakes. I realise that their cake taste is really different from our local cakes taste. Their cake is softer and sweeter. Maybe they did not put as much flour than our locals.

Today we had our first APPG lesson it was really fun, its like an advance stage of C programming. Moreover i just had my C program this sem, thus it should be easy for me to cope with this module. After school we KFC again for dinner haha... while we are enjoying our meal, suddenly there’s a blackout. The whole KFC turns dark, we barely see until our food, what an experience. After dinner we return to our hostile and did our tutorial.
REFLECTIONSToday i learn about APPG, what is it about and how can we apply in our everyday life. This module can be easy and difficult. If u are unsure with the codes u may find it difficult, well overall it is still ok...

In the morning we went for lesson, it was about the history of Hubei and Wuhan. I learn many things during this lecture. I learned their past, culture and the food they ate. It was quite boring though because it was too early haha...Well at least i know Hubei and Wuhan better. In the afternoon we had our IS lesson, we did a summary on what we have learned in the morning. At night we went to orientate the club house jus right beside our hostile. The facilities there are great, just like in Singapore.

REFLECTIONSToday i saw two men outside of our classroom playing table tennis. Wow they are good man, they play like professionals, really very skilful. Well, China is always good at table tennis, just like in the Olympics, China always achieve gold in both men and women category. Really is no fight for them.

Today is a free and own target day ! In the morning i went to played basketball together with my friends. We did some exercise too . We finally perspired today haha... In the late afternoon we went to Wuhan night market for shopping! It was so crowded there, i saw everybody were pushing through their way out. It was really a crowded place. We saw many fake branded goods stuff at there. It very real and the design is exactly like the same. At around 8pm plus we went back to KFC where is near our school for dinner. It was really an enjoyable day haha...
REFLECTIONS
We went to the night market by private vans not using public transport. I was seated at the front seat where is the driver seat in Singapore. I observe their driving style, i was fabricated. The way they drive right, is like keep trying to overtake the vehicle in front of you otherwise they will honk you. It was a good experience for me because i also had a driving licence in Singapore . I can learn some of their driving skill too especially their judgement of distance of their vehicle and other cars in between. Haha i saw the driver doing lane change when there is two care already occupied the lane in front of him is like three car in two lanes. Somemore i m seating at my own local driver seat which is the right side of the vehicle. Really learn a lot in today own time own target day.

The view there was beatiful man, because it is located high up in the mountain. At there i learn about the history and the myth of the Yellow Crank Tower. It was very interesting to listen to. There were altogether 6 story in this Yellow Crank Tower. The best part in this trip was the top floor, I saw many beautiful scene at the top of the tower .
