Wake up -> Lecture -> Take video for project -> Rest -> went out to Han Jie -> Went to wrong place -> Shop and walk around for a bit -> Went to the real Han Jie -> Ate macdonalds -> Shop around a bit more -> back to dorm!

And thats how my day went. Lecture and practical was quite okay though. Finished practical 4 and 5 today, quite easy to me actually. Also managed to finish up our chapters for our lecture today! So the next week fews will be quite relaxed already! Just that we have a test on wednesday, friday and next friday. Still quite okay if you ask me, given that most of the things taught have been learned before in one way or another. Stayed at the parade square area for a bit after our class to take the videos for our project! Went quite well though, just not sure if I can pull off the type of movie I had in mind. But its worth a try I guess.

Went to the back street after that to hunt for food! Discovered a nice little souvenir shop that was hidden way behind the street, a part that we have never explored previously. Its seriously a nice and cheap place to get souvenir from! The things there ranges from fake branded bags to umbrellas to ornaments to female lingerie to facial wash and nail paints. So yea, most of the souvenirs can pretty much be purchased there! Went to get the Lao Gan Ma Ji Dan Huo Tui Fried Rice after that, basically its chilli, egg and ham fried rice, and I can tell you, its damn delicious! And its only RMB$5! For a damn big bowl of it! I'm so going to go back there and get another bowl tomorrow! Speaking of tomorrow, it will be the first OIE lesson. I certainly am hoping that I don't fall asleep during the class! Especially when its going to be taught by a Chinese teacher in English! (Oh can you imagine the horror!)

Anyway, we went out to Han Street again after that to shop. But something happened along the way and we ended up at another place instead! It seems that there are two places that can be called Han Street, one is the actual Han Street that we want to visit, the other one is Han Road, another shopping district, but its very far away from our dorm! So Ying Jie, Amanda, Sze Ming and I ended up at Han road first (we really are the always missing four). But it seems that Sheila's cab also ended up at Han road somehow, so we went to shop around for a bit in Han Road. They had a damn big Nike store, as well as other big brands such as Baleno, Zara, Adidas and cache cache. The adidas originals store there actually carried the Vespa shoes that I want! But at a price tag of S$150, I slowly put back the shoe and walked away. Walked around for a bit more, Ying Jie got his bag, we got some mcflurry, and off we went to the real Han street!

I dare say getting a cab in China is really a bitch! Most of the China people have tried to cut our que, and we had to wait around 15-20 minutes before we finally got a cab. So we cab over to the real Han Jie, walked around for a bit before going to find the rest at McDonalds. Ate our dinner there before we went to walk and shop around again! Sze Ming and Amanda got some Muji pens (Okay not some, they both bought around 10 pens each). Went to C&A, H&M, uniqlo, zara. Tried on a lot of stuff but didn't buy though! Main reason is cause they said they don't accept our cards. So thats one of my payment method cut off! :( Oh well, shall go back again next time and try to ask if they accept card or not. Went back to our dorm at around 10+ and reached close to 11! One of the latest time we've ever been back to our dorm.

So yea, thats all for the update today! Sorry people, didn't take any photos today, have to wait till tomorrow to get photos from the others! Tata~!
