OH MY GAWD IT WAS FREEZING TODAY. SO COLD. D-2

Hello!

It's two more days till I'm home! I'm so excited and happy that I'll be going back. :) Talking about going back, I had a weird and scary dream this morning.. I dreamt that I left my luggage in the hostel and left for the airport. Because I left it in the hostel, I had to go back to take it and thus miss my flight. It was so vivid it scared me. Haha! Anyway, sorry for not posting anything till today.. There wasn't much to write about but I'll write something today! And a summary of what I did for the past few days..

Tuesday: D-5
I had my project discussion in the morning with Lynn, Sherdyn and Monisha all the way till the afternoon. We kept wrecking our brains to come up with a good solution and experiment for our presentation on wednesday. I had to destress so I went for dancing with Jovin and Shan Hui. Shan Hui decided to go on the treadmill and I "ran" facing her in the dance studio as there was only a glass panel separating the gym from the dance studio. I had a great time dancing and fooling around. However, I had to go back and continue with my project. By then, we have finally decided and solved all the problems faced while doing the experiment.

Wednesday: D-4
It was project presentation day. We were the second group to present in our tutorial group. As our topic is on blood splatter, our classmates took abit of time to understand the concept especially on how to calculate the origin where the blood splatters came from. We had to explain as detailed as we could and we demonstrated how to carry out the experiment. Thankfully, all of them understood us and the activity was carried out very smoothly. Our group was really thankful to Ms Tan for guiding and helping us along as she knew that our topic and experiment was abit tedious and complicated. The rest of the group presentations were very interesting and fun so I enjoyed it very much. By the time we ended, it was almost 3 so I hurried back to the hostel to study. Jovin came up to study with Shan Hui and I but Shan ended up falling asleep and Jovin and I were on the brink of falling asleep. I guess the presentation preparations drained most of our energies. We continued to study after dinner till about 10 plus before Jovin went back down to her unit to rest for the night.

Thursday: D-3
COMMON TEST DAY. I woke up at 7 and went out into the living room to study with Jovin who came up at around 8. Shan Hui was up by then so she joined us as well. By 10 plus, all of us including my dorm mates seemed to be restless so they started playing random tunes using their piano app on their phones and we started braiding each other's hair. I went for lunch with Jovin and Shan Hui at 1130 and came back around 1225 to study abit more and prepare to head to the school for the test. It was the start of the Qing Ming Festival so there was no school and the gates were locked. We were joking that there wouldn't be any test but eventually somebody in the school opened the gates for us so we could enter. Overall, the test was manageable so I hope that I'll get good grades. Unfortunately, I won't be able to know my grade until I'm in Year 3 as Forensic Science is a Year 3 module. I felt a load literally lifting off my shoulders and I was so happy that it was finally over. We returned to the dorm and Jovin helped Shan Hui and I join our beds so that three of us could lie on the bed with more ease. We watched How To Train Your Dragon, Transformers and Night At The Museum 2 with Mr Lee who left halfway during the show that night.

Friday: D-2
I woke up at 1030am today. This was the latest I woke up in this trip. Jovin apparently spammed messaged me but I turned off my phone so she spammed Shan Hui instead. Poor Shan Hui got woken up by the constant phone vibrations due to the messages Jovin sent. It was exceptionally windy today so I had to wear three layers including my windbreaker when we out to have brunch at the beef lamian stall. For the first time in the trip, I wasn't able to finish my food. I have no idea why though as I am usually able to finish my food. At 1pm, 29 of us went to a place town got Chu He Han Jie. There were three streets full of shops on either side. The wind was really strong when we got there and there were rain droplets felt. Soon enough, it started raining so we had to go into one of the shops to cover for the time being. The shops there were international brands and thus the prices were on the high side. I ended up only buying an item for 12 yuan. I went shopping with Clarissa, Junli, Kristine, Sherdyn and Asaph. We passed by a big bookshop and there was a papa roti cafe inside. All of us immediately rushed in and bought a papa roti for 8 yuan. Although I think it was a bit expensive, it was worth it as I have not eaten such yummy papa roti ever since the Singapore stores closed down. As the night started to set in, it started to drizzle again and it got really cold. I was only two layers then as I lent my JEP windbreaker to Sherdyn who was really freezing. The vans came to pick us up at 7pm and we were sent back to the polytechnic. The roads were really bumpy even though it was flat road, making it abit hard for some of my friends to rest in the van. We finally reached the polytechnic but it was SUPER cold. My whole body shook and my teeth were chattering really badly the moment I got down from the van. Thinking back, I can't even remember very clearly how did I even manage to come back to the warm hostel so quickly. I had a warm bath immediately and ate my spicy mushroom cup noodles for dinner.

I currently have no plans for tomorrow except to pack my luggage so that I won't need to panic on Sunday morning.

Shall rest now! Have a good rest and sweet dreams!
