Because I slept at like 5am, I woke up at 1pm today. The initial plan was to go back to SLPU to look for Sharon or Nancy for information but since YJ was there, it was quite pointless for me to go back.

So Angela and I got ready and headed for Lu Jia Bang instead.

We were so pleasantly surprised when we opened the curtains- WHITE SNOW ON THE FLOORS AND ROOF TOPS!!!

I’m sure it would have looked much nicer in the morning because a lot of the snow had already turned into water but we still could see layers of white snow on the ground and everywhere! :D :D

Obviously we’ll start snapping photos! We did that all the way from our apartment until trying to get a cab. For some reason, there were no cabs in sight! But we were still happy because we were still snapping photos along the way (:

The only bad thing is that our boots were soaked in water and our feet were really wet and cold.

Since there were no cabs, we decided to go to the MRT station to ask if we could get there by train. BUT, the booth was empty so we ate egg tarts instead before deciding to go up to another exit to see if we could get a cab there or not.

Again, we were greeted by this little park that was filled with snow!! You could have imagined how happy the both of us were.

After taking more photos, we walked towards the main road and tried to hail for a cab. From the distance, I saw someone familiar walking towards my direction and guess who it was!

Fiona! She was off today but was going back to the hotel to collect her pay slip. Since we needed to collect our pay slip either today or tomorrow, we decided to go with her (and it will definitely be easier to get a cab at SLPU).

Fiona showed us where was the bus-stop to take a bus to SLPU. Omg it was like directly opposite our house and we didn’t realize there was a bus stop (we’re not blind, bus-stops here don’t have shelters and seats!)

The bus ride was RMB2 and it was exactly the same route as when we take a cab down. It dropped us off directly opposite SLPU.

And we discovered it when our attachment had just ended. How wonderful.

After collecting our pay slip, Angela and I cabbed down to Lu Jia Bang and she went to get her measurements done for her suit.

It was already dark when we came out and we cabbed back home.

I went up our apartment first while Angela went to get her dinner and seeing how messy our apartment was made me in the mood to pack!

We’re left with only one week here but still, it’s nicer when the house is neater and cleaner.

Angela and I are planning to hibernate at home for the next 2 days to do the final report and rest (and because we can’t go out to spend money cuz our pay isn’t in yet) so I’m left with 3 packets of Maggie Mee and it’ll be my only source of food for today and the following 2 days.
