DAY 37 09042010- Friendly Match + Farewell Dinner!

Had Macdonald's breakfast in the morning! Thanks Eline for buying! :D There was a friendly match between the Singapore and the China students. The players involved includes Si Hao, Wen Jie, Daryl, Noor, Fathullah and Wei Qin. We were quite shock to see that there are many supporters at the China side although it is just a friendly match, some were even holding a flag of their school, whereas at our side, there were only a few of us :/

When we knew the players in the other team, all of us were stunned. Their height totally own us :/ Although i should have more confidence in our team, but i saw the way they play and dribble the ball, i doubt there is any chance of winning. The game began shortly and the China team kept scoring:/ But after some time, someone from our side finally score! :D But, it also marks the starting of accidents. First was Wen Jie; he was knocked down by the tallest guy in the team, and he laid flat on his back. All of us were shocked and worried about him as the the falling impact was quite big. Somehow i can feel his pain :/ But luckily, he was alright and continued with the game. But after 15 minutes, the second accident occurred. This time, it was Si Hao. He sprained his ankle! i think his case is worse than Wen Jie as he laid on the floor in pain. Ouch~



The game stopped and SH was send to the nearby hospital; Eline and some of the local students accompanied him. Shortly, the game resume and our opponent seems to slacken abit as i guess they are giving us chance to score. The last score i knew was 20-4:/ Two other year 2 WUST student joined our team, which really boost up their confidence.

Finally the game ended and they took some pictures with them.

After which, they headed back to the hostel to rest and wash up. We wanted to go back and rest too, but we realized that none of us have our room keys as all are with Eline! So, we sat at the basketball court and continue to watch the next match while Hazel went for her run. Called Eline at around 1pm and realized that they were inside the dorm already, so we went back after loitering for so long at the basketball court! Lucky that SH is alright, take care eh!

After which, we had our lunch and went back our room. Went for a game of badminton as we only played ONCE! Headed towards the badminton court and today there were not much people playing! At first, we though we were lucky, but we ended up keeping our rackets and went back to our hostel. Thanks to the wind! Spoiler to the max! We then prepare for the dinner at night with our local friends! :D

Gathered at the main building at 5.30pm and took group photos with the local students! We then stroll to the restaurant which is just opposite the school compound. Had fun laughing and cracking jokes with them once again :DD


The dinner started by sending representatives from each division, giving a speech, and of course, some prize giving for the WUST staffs! The dinner was a great one, nice food with nice people around (: Fathullah was not feeling very well, so we went back to our hostel immediately after the dinner ended. SH, Noor, Fathullah and Charmaine took a cab back while the rest of us walked back. Got separated from some of the local students as they were amazed by an on-going party held there.






After some resting, we were relief when Fathullah said that he was hungry, perhaps it was just indigestion. Noor was like a father, packing the room and looking after SH and fathullah and even bought bubble tea for all of us! (y). Tonight was a great dinner indeed!

Overall, what they have mentioned in the speech was that the local students have made us feel so homely even though we are in China, so that we would not be home sick. They are also good hosts to us, bringing us around the different parts of China, be it shopping, touring or playing :D Therefore, i feel that the dinner treat today is a very meaningful one, not only this is one way to express our appreciation to our local friends, but also a nice proper meal with them, leaving another good memory of us and them in Wu Han.
