Pretty much stuck. Okay, so here I am blogging again because there's nothing to do in Wuhan. :/ Everyone is either slacking around aimlessly or sleeping. -.- Not to mention, it's only 630pm. Grr. There's really nothing much to do. :/ Life is pretty mundane with few classes and stuff, but so is Singapore. I'd be rotting my ass off if I were still in Singapore. :/ Ahwells. Shall find things to do, hopefully, to keep me occupied. I can say that I've been surviving pretty well so far. I can pretty much navigate around independently and stuff, so yeah. I'm not really home-sick, but I'm quite country-sick. In Singapore, I can just go for my cycles when I'm feeling under or walk around the neighborhood whenever I need to. Sigh. I'm almost halfway through. Today is Day 16 with 19 days left. :/ I'm seriously wondering why I'm so free. :/ This isn't good. Ahwells.
But on a lighter note, I've pulled my cummulative GPA up. Won't say how it is cause it's kinda bad, but I will improve on it in my next two sems. (: I'm looking forward to going back to Singapore where hot water is of abundance (cause in China, hot water in dorms only come at 6am and 5pm, both of which will last until the entire building uses it up in about 4 hours), and my bed is always there. I'm quite annoyed with the cold weather although I know I will miss it when it becomes warmer next week. ): Ohwells, I'm a fickle-minded kid. :O

I'm pretty much getting the drag of Wuhan now. It's day 11 with a countdown of 24 Days. The first few days have passed really fast with lots of fun and slacking but work is starting and it is starting to make me dread this trip. I know 24 days is actually short but I'm feeling the drag here. I'm not homesick, but I want to be in Singapore. There are things in Singapore that I'm supposed to be at. Not being home on a Saturday really kills me. I cried when I realised that I'm in China instead of Suntec. All my memories and things are there. Sigh. I will get through this. And Amazing Grace is one of the most comforting songs I know and got reminded of while watching online service this weekend. I will get through this, I know I will. I will enjoy this as much as any other person who has been to China to study. Sigh, I need to be less emotional.

Day 8 in a foreign place. Well, China has been relatively good so far. In fact I don't feel any difference being in China. Maybe it's just China, because we're all already used to communicating in Mandarin even in Singapore and that the living conditions are quite similar. The only difference is that China's a little more run down. I've not been feeling homesick yet though. Still surviving quite well, except that I'm feeling time passing real slow. I mean even if it's in Singapore, I'd still feel that time is passing slow because it's school. School bores people.
But anyway, life in China is pretty good so far. Able to live independently and stuff. It's amazing that I don't feel homesick. Just really annoyed with the weather because it has given me a bad throat, flu, cough, and fever all at once. It's really torturing. But ohwells. I've no idea what I wanna buy back to Singapore for people. I've not seen anything unique yet though. :/ hur.
Well, things and food are really cheap here. I had two bowls of fried dumplings and one sausage for a total cost of SGD$1.10. Seriously enjoying all the cheap stuff here. heh. Ohwells. I still can't believe that I'm in China! :O Never expected myself to be here. Seriously amazed. hah. And, as much as I'm annoyed with the weather, it's actually quite cool. Like the outdoors are cooler as compared to the indoors. I remember running straight out into the cold weather when I arrived at Guangzhou airport. Hah, seriously cool to be experiencing this for the first time in my life. Also, the tap waters are icy cold. Seriously, they can just numb your fingers. Brrrr. Hahah. Ahwells. Shall nap now. Yawns, class in about 2 hours time.

25 Hours Well, I looked out my window, saw cabs passing by below and thought about the day that I'd flag one of them to the airport. I still thought that I had a lot of time left in Singapore. But then it hit me. In approximately 25 hours, I'd be doing that. I really got lost in time and thought that I still had a lot of time left here. This is madness. It is happening way too fast, I'm not ready to go. But I have to. I just gotta get this done and over with.
Tonight's the last night that I would get a proper and long sleep in my bed. It's scary. But things will fall into place. I pray and believe that they will, oh yes they will. Well, this is it. The day has finally arrived.

It's finally over. Yes, today's the day where exams are officially over. Yayy. Anyway as what ex-Sunday studying partner said, today is exactly one week away from the last night that we'll be in Singapore. Can't believe that I'm going off in a week's time for five long weeks. :/ But I do believe that time in Wuhan will fly fast. (: Facebook, twitter, and a million other websites will be blocked in China. ): Ohwells, shall make do with as much as I have or can have while I'm there. (:
Mmmm, there's a weird PPP thing in school tomorrow until 5. :/ What a waste of time. And and, I'mma wake up early by 830am tomorrow. Gonna jump out of bed to go down to the post office to collect my bulky item from SingPost. Apparently something has arrived. It's either one of the two posters I've ordered, or my macbook's 'apple juice' decal. I think it's the decal cause it's from Thailand and the other two are from the U.S. But on the other hand, why would a decal require such a huge box? :/ I just do hope that it is one of the three items that I've ordered and not some junk mail. Ahwells. I have so much to do, but so little time. Ohman, I need more time. I'm not ready to go off yet. ):
