Day 32 - Farewell Dinner with the local students

It’s the last 3rd day in WuhanL Well, we had a farewell dinner with the local students tonight. The place for the dinner is somewhere near the shopping mall along徐东大街. So, some of us went there earlier for shopping and for manicure. When we reached the shopping mall, we split ourselves into two groups; those going for shopping and those going for manicure. Hana, Rani, Melissa, Jas Min and I went for manicure. It was a great experience! Their service is as good as the salon! This is why their business is so good. We even chatted with the manicurists and one of them is really amusing. After choosing the designs and colours, the manicurists started working on our nails. We stayed in the shop for about 3 hours and finally, it’s done! All of us took photos with them before leaving and they seem happy too.

Melissa and Rani. See their facial expressions! They were satisfied with the service:)


This is the cute manicurist I was talking about. Her actions/words/behaviors are really funny! Glad to know her:)



Happy customers:)


After that, we met up with the rest at Starbucks and proceeded to MacDonald’s to meet the MDE students and the local students. When everyone was there, we then proceed to the restaurant for the dinner buffet.

They even have a stage for singers to show their talent. This creates a better atmosphere. Pei Wen, Faith and Kimberley even requested a song and dedicated it to all of us, both students from NP and WUST. The song chosen was 爱我别走 by 王力宏. Thanks girls! :)

After the dinner, we had a mini appreciation ceremony. We presented token of appreciation to all the local students who have been there for us for the past 5 weeks. They had been really thoughtful and hosted us well. Without them, we would be so lost in the campus. Thank you very much!

Cards designed by our great artist, Jas Min! :) They are really nice, aren't they?

Guess who is this?






She's Yan Fang! Have you guessed it correctly? Haha! She was covering her face with her beanie! :)

Reflections: After the dinner we had tonight, we would be left with only 2 days in Wuhan before we head back to Singapore. We kind of have mixed feelings. On one hand, we know clearly that we miss Singapore, our friends and families, the life we used to have. On the other hand, we couldn’t bear to leave this place we have been staying for the past five weeks! We would miss the awesome friends we made here, as well as the delicious food. Well, everything has to come to an end. Goodbyes are inevitable. I really hope to have the chance to host them when they visit Singapore next year. This time round, I believe we would do a good job and play good hosts. Goodbye friends we made in Wuhan, seeya soon! :D
