Day 25- Quiz 3 and Shopping

We had Quiz 3 today.. Which means that we spent less than half an hour in the classroom. After quiz, I fell asleep on my bed because I was so tired. Sorry YF and Geena.. Felt paiseh that I was sleeping while they were doing the project.

For lunch, I had century egg porridge, dou pi (some sort of glutinous rice with tou fu and the top part is grinded beans so it's like a harder layer on the top), 1 fried dumpling (took 1 from Geena) and tried a bit of YF's chao he fen (Char quay tiao). All of them are very nice!! I think it's actually one of the best lunches I had so far. The texture of the porridge is so different yet nice! :D

Right after lunch, Geena, YF, Cindy and I went to the shopping mall that we went previously (for the 3rd time) to buy shoes and some other stuffs. I'm so happy I bought a pair of Vans shoes for 120 yuan!! It's real! Don't know why they can sell it at such a cheap price.. but the shoes are actually quite small because they don't have a bigger size :( soo.. I hope that after subsequent wears, the shoes will kinda expand? I'm going to wear it more often! Anyway, if Da-jie likes it too, she can wear it :) I'm sure she can fit too.

After that went to buy more stuff and bought something for Kor (finally).. Hahaha.. Hope he likes it.

Below are the photos of my new shoes!
The shoe box which I'm going to throw away :(

My newly bought shoes! :D






Yeah, so after we came back from shopping, we continued with online shopping. Not bad, right?
Then I showered and washed clothes followed by da-bao-ing from the canteen. I ate char siew rice which was pretty good. The goose rice I ate yesterday was nice too! :D Yummy!
After dinner at 7pm, we had our cultural exchange performance preparation. And I'm glad I picked Hana as Eddy's friend because she such a born actress! Hahaha.. I think the skit will be really funny with YF acting as taxi driver too! :) Hope the china students can understand the singlish..
After that, packed bag for wudang mountain tomorrow.. Yes, will be leaving at 6.45am for wudang mountain (where the karate kid acted!), staying there for 1 night and I'm kinda excited about the climbing on sunday but not the visits to the temples tomorrow :(

Reflection
After taking taxis quite a few times, I'm quite familar with the roads now but still not sure sometimes. As we were taking the taxi today, I find it really hard to catch the Wuhan accent when the taxi driver talked to us. I guess it's the same when people come to Singapore and finds it hard to understand Singlish. Every country do have this unique thing about their slang, terms that they use, etc. It's really interesting to find out more about this.
I was quite shocked today at the fact that some stores in the shopping mall can sell real branded shoes at a much cheaper price! I seldom see this in Singapore. Even if so, the price may not be as cheap or the goods are an imitation. If only Singapore have such things too, many of us will be extremely elated!
