Day 32 – Farewell Dinner– 离别晚宴

Day 32

Well, today is another fun and sad day again!!! I woke up at 9.30am after having 7.5 hours of sleep last night. After I woke up, I went to watch 宫心计 and play some online games. At 11.15am, we went to packet lunch from 堕落街 and I ate a kind of mixed vegetables rice (shared with Jas Min – the serving size is too big), 鸡汁鲜肉包 and drank豆浆. It was yummy!

At about 12 +pm, we went to 销品茂 at 徐东大街 (the big shopping mall). Once we reached, we split into 2 groups: those doing nail manicure and those not doing. Those not doing are: Kimberley, Letty, Sarah, Faith, Pei Wen, Althea and me. So we went shopping. Well, I was window-shopping most of the time until… we went to this underpass and at this stall, I bought 2 small DIY paintings at RMB 35! I actually didn’t want to buy but somehow I got tempted and it seems fun to paint so I ended up buying. HahaJ

At about 5pm, we met up with the rest and their nails were awesome! Jas Min spent RMB 110 on her nails!! But the boss or the nail artists there provided good service. Anyway, we then met up with the MDE students and the local students who brought us around for the past few weeks half an hour later to go to the dining restaurant as we do not know the way.

At 6.30pm due to some delay,etc, we reached the dining restaurant: Golden Hans. We will be having buffet dinner! We ate and ate and the tables were soon stacked up with plates! 1.5 hours later, we were done and spent time taking photos and having fun!!! We also conducted a mini-appreciation ceremony! Below are some photosJ

All the mess after eating!

We then took photos outside the mall and had a lot of fun! At last, at 10pm, we decided to return. We were thinking whether to take bus or cab when we saw the overcrowded bus. We immediately decided to take cab. So we walked down the street and at last, managed to hail a cab and 5 of us squeezed into it. The taxi driver was kind of friendly when he realized that we are not locals and chatted with us a little bit.

When we reached our dormitory building, we got tempted by the food in 堕落街 and so we went to buy the chicken stick and lychee milk tea. By the time I showered and blogging, it was already 12am. How time flies!

Reflections:

It’s sad that we will be leaving this place in 2 days’ time and that today is the last day that we are seeing the local students. I really can’t thank them enough for all that they have done and I really hope that when they come to Singapore next year for exchange programme, I can be there to bring them around Singapore! Thanks Betty, Star and Yuan YuanJ
