So it's our last day here in Wuhan. It's really sad to know that we have to leave as I can remember the first day like it was just yesterday. How we struggled to carry our luggage up the stairs with the help of the guys how we all were picking our rooms, how we were exploring the hostel, how we had our campus tour and yet today we were all carrying our luggage in the opposite direction, down the stairs. The only similar thing was that the guys still helped us with it. Moat of us were really sad to leave as not only have we grown to love Wuhan but Wuhan will also forever have a place in our hearts. It's the place where we made new friends an have many fond memories of. We had our last meal at our favourite Halal shop which we have frequented almost everyday. It was really sad to say our goodbyes to the server but we had to and we even gave him a postcard with our well wishes to him in Chinese of course. Then we bought our last drink from our favourite milk tea stall. We then grabbed, or more like dragged, our luggage to the bus and we said our final goodbyes to Wuhan and China on the plane. It was a really sad moment for us when the plane took off but we all made a pact that we will come back to Wuhan a few years later. I really enjoyed my time in Wuhan and sad to say there can never be another moment like what we had. I would like to thank the locals in Wuhan for their hospitality and friendliness. Ending my last blog post on a high note, I'm glad to have met Joel, Wei Seng, Gordon and Samuel on this trip who I have become very close too. Xenia and Shan Hui our awesome apartment mates who we had KPOP parties with and of course Irfanah my awesome roommate who took care of me as I took care of her. Tricia, Nazhifah, Rachel and Priscilla who I am glad we got to go on this trip together on. I think we had mixed emotions when the plane landed as we were not only happy to be home but also our journey together ended as soon as the plane touched down. And thanks to everyone who made this trip enjoyable to me including the lecturers: Dr Tan, Dr Sujit, Mr Lee and Ms mika and the TSOs: mr Vincent and Ms Chuah for taking care of us and putting up with us.

ReplyDeleteHi. I feel so sad to leave Wuhan even though I'm happy that I'm finally returning to Singapore. I'm so glad that I've met you in this OIP trip. See you around in SG. :) it's time to move on to the next part of our life.
ReplyDeleteI'm missing the attention I used to get in Wuhan, are you? When people started staring, I admit I was uncomfortable and I didn't like it. Kyle told me he wished he got that kind of attention. Now that we're back in Singapore, Indians are not unusual. I'm also glad to have been accepted back in Wuhan despite being different and furthermore embraced. How are you coping? LOL
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you I have mixed emotions when I arrive at the Changi Airport.... Mixture of happiness and sadness :( Happy that we are finally going home, but sad because we have to go separate ways with some of our OIP mates and all the fun has ended... But its ok I am thankful for all the friendships formed!
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun knowing you as a friend! I will never forget the fun time we had together playing cards and having photos wars! It is my honour to meet you as a friend! I will always remember the laughter we had every single night! Sadly, we are not in the same class for the next semester! Do keep in contact!
ReplyDeleteAnyway your singing of twinkle twinkle little star in Indian ascent is really awesome!
