Reflections:

So here we are! after 34 days in wuhan. it feels good to be back in singapore, but there are memories in wuhan that cannot be replaced. this bitter sweet moment is something that no one will ever experience except the bunch of 21 of us.

Throughout the course of this trip, i have learnt many things from wuhan. being independent, being responsible are two very important lessons for me. being in a foreign country, one has to be independent no matter what. learning to take care of yourself is key in succeeding as a person. responsibility of looking after one another also was a lesson learnt.

Living in wuhan for 34 days has made me realise how fortunate we are to live in singapore. drinkable water flows out from the tap in singapore is already enough to show how lucky we are and we ought to cherish that. we left our comfort zone in singapore and venture out to seek challenges and challenges they were. but with friends, we pulled through everything together.

Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong.
We treasure our heritage and take pride in shaping our own unique way of life

Besides lifeskills lessons, i have visited many places in wuhan such as the yellow crane tower, 3 gorges dam, wudang mountain and many more. it was an eye opener for me as i have never been there before. in these trips, i have learnt more about the history of china and their culture. climbing up wudang shan was an achievement, especially when we did it as a group, waiting for each other. heartwarming it felt, and heartwarming it was!

Last but not least, friends that i have made. New friends from other courses, our friendship, though new, but felt as if we have been through alot together, which we actually have! classmates, the 12 of you all, our friendship has defininately became stronger. and the 2 year 1s, though you both are our juniors, but you two were awesome people, you all have already become part of us! everyone, all 20 of you guys, have becomed part of me! those times hanging out together, having meals together, singing karaoke, playing games and those chats we had with each other, this are memories that belongs solely to us!

Shopping after that at this new place. alot things to see since its a place we have not explored. bought a few stuff and then headed to jiang han lu again. the last time we visit our night market!

Reflections:

So today being the last day! many memories would be left behind. sweet and bitter ones nonetheless, something valuable and precious to all 21 of us. what i saw today was really unforgettable. seeing how the chicken, which was alive and awake, being slaughtered in the open, with its neck cut halfway and blood dripping down really made me wonder do these people have any humanity or not. seriously, imagine if you are the chicken, how would you feel? my god seriously. i shall stop here and not say further. just made me think, what have the world has become of.
