[Day 26 JiuZhaiGou Day 1]
Didn't sleep that night as we need to report at the carpark at 5AM!
Sian!!!!!!so early!!!
So we make our journey to the airport.
Veron,Aqilah and KwangMeng need to take another flight at 6+, group 1 also had their flight at 6+, only group2 and group 3 had our flight at 7++AM. First check in our luggage, then follow by all those procedure.Finally, we are up on the plane. I was sitting beside Mr and Mrs Tan. Haha. Basically, I just slept through out the flight, until Mr Tan ask me to look at the mountain. It is very beautiful! There is SNOW!!! but still, my eyelids are heavy, in the end went back to sleep again. Reach JiuZhaiHuangLong airport at around 8++am and we need to sit the small van to our first destination to see waterfall. Before we go, we bought some tidbits even if we had lots of foods we us.Haha. The journey to the waterfall is about 1-2 hours, depending on the traffic. The road is SUPER DUPER BUMPY. Got dizzy alittle while. The tour guide ask us not to sleep during this journey as there is altitude different before JiuZhaiGou and Chengdu, so she kept talking to us. However, most of us slept after awhile as the journey there is terrible. FINALLY~~~we reach the waterfalland we need to climb up to reach the waterfall. Took alot of pictures and had alot fun.
Next, it is time for us to go to the restaurant for lunch. So, it is another 1-2 h
our to reach there. Almost everyone got motion sickness. QinFang, Catherine and Yeeyen vomited. When we were halfway there, the van was stuck due to some reasons. In the end, we need to get down the van in order for it to move. Maybe all of us are too heavy,thats why. WAHAHA!
Lunch wasn't that good as we expected. It was oily and taste alittle weird, but we don't have much choice. Most of us doesn't has much appetite after the van journey, so didn't eat much. After lunch was journey to the hotel. The road to the hotel is smoother. We are able to go to our room when we reach there because the teachers who went there earlier with group 1 had help us checked in. Jolean and I were paired while Yeeyen and Ziya were paired and our room is super far apart. room 401 and 422 and we share 1 luaggage. So Jolean went to ask JiaHao to check room we us as their room was Room 406 which is nearer to Yeeyen and Ziya. In the end,we decided that all four of us sleep in room 406 since we have been sharing room for so long. As soon as we settle our room thing, we had to go already. Our next program was visiting the tibetan house and had our dinner there. Had alot of fun there. Knowing their culture, dancing with them and stuffs were quite good experience.JiaYe was picked to sing a song as he was sitting at the grandfather seat. Mr Ma and Mr Teo had to sing song too and Andy was chosen to be their "son-in-law".Haha. Went dancing after that. As it was getting quite late, we had to go back to our hotel. They were afraid that some of us wasn't full after the dinner or wasn't able to eat the food, so they prepare dinner for as at the restaurant. The foods is very oily, so we had rice and soup only. Had a bath and go to bed after that. Tomorrow need to wake up at 730AM!! Quite a tiring day~~~

Dancing around and having FUN!!!!!
[Day 27 JiuZhaiGou Day 2]
Today is the day where we need to go into the JingQu to see the scenary there. Had breakfast at the hotel. It was some Sichuan marinated vegetables, buns, eggs and porridge. Went to the JingQu immediately after breakfast. Took alot of pictures. 14 of us were walking together. The lakes were very clear and we can see our reflections. Ziya and Huanmin try out the costume thing for 10yuan and took pictures with them. Some of the guys also went to try the costumes. Lunch was on our own. Had biscuits and stuffs. It is about 2++ and everyone is tired of walking around. Had lot of fun but had a price to pay. Got a little dizzy on the way back to the entrance. Maybe its because I was sitting at the opposite direction. Didn't like the behaviours of some of the tourists.They pull Eileen out of the seat twice when she was about to sit. Its so rude. When we are back at the entrance, we went dicos to had some foods. Was super dizzy, so Qinfang helped me bought some food. Felt better after resting. We are going to watch some tibetan performance at night, so we need to leave the
JingQu at 5pm. Had dinner at the hotel before going to the performance place. Dinner was okay. not as bad as the lunch on the first day. So off we go to the theatre to watch the performance. The performance was interesting. we were able to see different kind of costumes, dances and different people singing songs. Some of the audience were ask to join them on stage to dance while some were ask to join the game. One of the performer was very pretty too! When we were about to leave the theatre, it was raining. The tour guide told us that at around 2700above sealevel, it will be snowing, but we are at 200 above sealevel, so it is raining. So sad, wasn't able to see snow. T.T. Went back to the hotel to had a bath. Group 1 and Group 2had their flight at 830am so they have to leave the hotel at around 5am. So the girls decided not to sleep and go to Room 401 to chitchat and have cupnoodles since we are not using the room. Some pictures of Day 2 are below!

Took a picture with some tourists as they think that our panda hats were interesting

[Day28 JiuZhaiGou Day3]
The girls weren't sleeping, so we had chitchat session till 430 when they need to get prepare to leave the hotel. We had maggi and played "Truth or Dare". Truth will be those crushes ans stuffs while the Dare were be drawing on faces using eyeliner. Anything said in the room will be kept there, so weren't say much. When 430am reach, some of them prepare themselves while the rest us went to sleep.Luckily that my room mates are all in group 3. We only need to check out at 11am. So we manage to get some sleep. After check out, we went to a museum to see TianZhu and crystals. Bought 3 TianZhu. 2 for my grandparents and 1 for my mum. Didn't buy for my dad since he already have one. On our way to the restaurant for lunch, we saw SNOW!!!!!
I think the Shifu saw how we react, so he let us down to play with the snow. It's so fun!!!!neve play with snow before. What an experience!!!!Had LOTS OF FUN!!!! Next, we went to another place to play snow again~~~Had snowfight and took lots of picture. All of us had lots of fun!!! Lunch was the same as the first day. So sian. So Mr Tan add 2 more dishes for us. SO NICE~~~THANKYOU MR TAN!!!
After lunch we went to the airport. It was then we were informed that our flight maybe cancel. We can either take separate flights or wait for our own flight, but if the flight cancel, we will have to stay over for a night. So we decided to take separate flights. WE GOT THE FIRST CLASSFLIGHT!!!!WAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!At around 3pmWe were told that we will not have first class treatment, but nevermind, it is still first class. Jolean, Ziya, Andy and I were on the same flight.When we enter the plane, hot towel and orange juice were served. Then the airstewardess ask whether we wanna hang our jacket or change to slippers. The treatment was SuperNice!!!!!!
We reach Chengdu earlier than expected.Haha.And we found out that,we are the only one that got the first class treatment.Haha.We reach school at 630pm and we unpack our stuffs and met the guys and Mr and Mrs Tan for dinner. Since Mr Tan treat us our lunch, the rest of us treat them for dinner. Veron join us too as she is the only that wasn't sleeping in order to open the door for Catherin. It was fun. As usual, at the end we play 终极密码.Zhiwen and Catherine kena like 3 times and Zhiwen got twice in a row.Everyone had fun and a very full dinner. After dinner, we went back and rest. Tomorrow lesson continues...

After washing up, we had maggi for our breakfast cum lunch and as usual with our China brand sausages. When brunch is done, we went to wash our clothes. ALOT of clothes for us to wash. Hopefully by the time we come back from Jiu Zhai Gou, the clothes will dry. Next,DRAMA TIME!!!!! I continue my Forensic Heores II until dinner time is up. We went to eat with qinfang,catherine and shihui while veron and jiale went to eat fastfood. When we finish eating, we played zhongjimima to see who had to finish the last few pieces of our food.

but still, we had to wake up early.
This morning, I am super reluctant to wake up, but I have to, if not Ziya and Jolean won't wake up and we can't go to IS lesson. In the end, I drag myself to wash up and change before we go to class. In the class, we received a new which is partly bad and partly good. We suppose to have our IS lesson today, but it was cancelled due to some reason. The good part is, we don't have IS, but the bad part is, I already wake up in the EARLY morning,in the end, lesson cancelled. It's so annoying. Since we don't have class, we went to had early lunch and wanted to play pool, but was fully taken. So we had no choice but to go back to our room and watch our drama. Currently still watching Forensic Heroes II. So sad, the fiancee dead before they were to get married. What a sad episode. All of us were stuck to our laptop screen for the whole afternoon. We even had our dinner later than usual. Tomorrow is Saturday, so NO CUTTING OFF OF LIGHT!!!! WOOHOO!!! I can continue my drama. Should be able to finish before JiuZhaiGou.That's all for today~~~

So Mr Teo brought both of them and nicholas to the doctor while the rest continue our lesson. Went to supermarket to buy instant noodles for lunch and used laptop for an hour plus before heading to afternoon lesson. I can't really understand today's lesson, but after the lab, I kind of understand a little about the use of methods. APPG is getting harder as time goes by. First is the streamwriter thing, now is methods. Next week going to be Arrays. It's so tough! Went back home after class to take a little nap before going for dinner. Shall continue my drama now~

Since afternoon lesson was for people who fail TT1, most of us spend our time in the room watching drama as usual. It was until 6 plus going 7pm then we went for dinner.

Day 19 Kite Flying Day /10:37 PM
Woke up at 12plus which is a big mistake. Today's program was kite flying with the students from UESTC Electronic Engineering Division. The event starts at 1pm. Since we woke up late, we didn;t had our lunch. Whenwe are done, we quickly head down to the library to meet the rest of the girls as they went for lunch before that. The weather is very good. Sunny and Windy. Perfect for kiteflying. As usual, we were split in groups with the China students. First, we had to design our kite, and of course, I drew Astroboy. When we are done, we start to fly kite. It was my first time flying kite and is very fun. In the middle of playing, our kite flew away as the string finishes. However, we manage to get it back. As we continue, our kite got tangle with sone others kite and spend lots of time untangling it.Although it was a little unorganized, we had lots of fun. We took a group photo before leaving and they gave me the kite as souvenir. We were all playing with the kite on our way back. Since we still have time, Jolean, Ziya, Yeeyen and I went to the hairdresser at the orchard road. Apart from me, the rest got their hair done there. Ziya went to dye her hair, Jolean cut and dye and Yeeyen trim hers. We meet the rest of them for dinner when we are done. Going to sleep soon, trial lab test tomorrow.
Day 18 Shopping /11:42 PM
Wake up early in the morning just to go Chunxi Road to shop. We quickly wash up and meet the others before heading to carpark C to meet the teachers and the guys. The ride to Chunxi road is super duper bumpy. I was sitting at the last row which make the journey there worse. I was super hungry since I had yet to have my breakfast, so Ziya, Yeeyen, Huanmin, Eileen, QinFang and I headed to Macdonald while the rest went to search for Bank to change money. They spend almost 1 hour to search for the bank but still unable to change. In the end, Huanmin, Eileen, QinFang, Yeeyen and I went shopping first. Bought 2 hairbands for my 2 cousins and a watch for myself. As we continue walking, I saw Astroboy watch and got one in the end. Then, we went to a shopping centre which is like far east.Bought a shades there and a shirt which almost all the Korean star has one. Including my idol, DongHae from SuperJunior. We also went to Watson to buy my motion sickness medicine. When i was about to go, I saw the shop beside Watson was selling Astroboy stuffs, so quickly pull QinFang to go with me. We went to the second floor and the entrance was full with Astroboy products. I was so excited!AH!!!!Bought a jacket and a polo tee from there since is on sales. After that, we head to the shopping centre which resembles Bugis. Yeeyen went to the shop i went the previous time to buy the shoe. The shop owner still recognise me. Haha. She was told that we are leaving soon and this was our last shopping, she gave us a discount and I also took a picture with her. After that, I went to meet veronica and gang anf veron told me the astroboy shirts I wanted she can't wear. She brought me to the place and I was super excited. Got 2 shirst from there too.As it was getting late, we quickly went for dinner at Ajisen which the food there is very delicious and we ate it super fast. Then, we went to Isetan for grocery shopping of Singapore foods which turn out that they selling it very expensive, so we didn't buy. The bus came late and we reach home around 10pm. Quickly took a bath and head to bed.
Day 17 QinFang Birthday /11:55 PM
Have IS lesson this morning which talks about negotiation skills. In other words, BARGAINING!Lesson ends at 10plus and we have to wait for the principal to come and talk to us. After the whole thing ended, we went to have early lunch and POOL TIME! Today was QinFang 18th birthday too and we have a surprise party for her. So around 2plus Jolean and Catherine went to take the cake. Jiale, ShiHui, Ziya, Veron and I meet them downstairs to bring the cake back for preparations while the rest distract her by bringing her to the supermarket. We spent a little while preparing and waited for a very very very long time before they return. Jolean and Veron took turn to check out whether QinFang reach the door and Jiale spend the whole time holding on the cake.
Finally, she reach the room and we SURPRISED her. She looks happy. Haha. We went out to take some pictures before cutting the cake. Thanks to AhYi, we manage to get a group photo. To thank her for her help, we offer a piece of cake to her too. The cake was nice apart for the cream.There is like ALOT cream on the cake. When the celebration finishes, everyone head back to their rooms until 5pm. At 5, we went for early dinner due to the IS cultural Activity at 630pm. As usual, we went to orchard road to have our dinner.
I was group with Nizam and Jolean for IS. The China students take the whole game super seriously, as if is the real thing. Had a hard time. They talk super fast and I had to translate to Nizam and Jolean(she can't understand fully). It's so tiring. In the end the let us win.
When the whole thing end, we went back to wash our clothes and prepare for surprise number 2. While the rest is preparing, Jolean, Ziya, Yeeyen, Eileen and I drag qinfang to wash clothes. When they are done, we told qinfang that oue leader is looking for her and need her to go to her room. Eileen accompany her there and huanmin was already waiting at the room. the rest of us quickly go to our surprise number2. the surprise was using light sticks to write Happy Bday toher and she see it from the top. The moment she saw the surprise, we sang birthday song out loud, and she then join us downstairs to take pictures. we play with light sticks at the end and hook it around our room. Had lots of fun today!
