Chengdu, Day 28

 

Today is the beginning of the last week of our stay here in China and in the Sichuan Aerospace Polytechnic. With the trip coming to an end, the school has lined up several events for us to commemorate our stay here and also our upcoming departure back to Singapore.

To start off the week, we were all given the results for our commontest which we had just taken the week before. With the many different speculations regarding the correct answers for the questions, everyone was stressed and praying hard to be able to get a good score. Thankfully, the results were not too bad and were a really good start to the SOM module.

 

 We were than treated to a graduation dinner at a nearby posh restaurant. It was not really appropriate to call it that since we have not even finished one module here. However, the food served was really one of the best things that I had had in China. It has a distinctive Singaporean flavor which I have missed for so long. From the biryani tasting steamed beef rice to the tofu egg, the food reminded me of home. Dish after dish, everyone at the table tried to finish off the food. However, really no one was able to finish the 13 course meals. The meal was also a nice opportunity to spend the few last moments that we still have together.

 

 

The night however, was a long one as everyone was rushing to finish off their individual group presentations that is due the next day. Although tired, we all had to try our best to finish off the remaining work that we have. My groupmate and I luckyly have finished the research and only needed to do the compilation, which was still more work than we thought.
