Day 37- 9th April (Basketball and farewell dinner :[ )
The long planned basketball match between the WUST students and MDE is finally being carried out! We were informed last minute 2 days ago, that there’s going to be a friendly match this morning :o Everyone was shocked. But not being a spoil sport, MDE guys agreed. So we woke up at about 9 plus, prepared and went over to the opposite basketball court to watch them play. We saw the WUST players and we were shocked. 2 of their players were close to 1.9m tall? And the rest were so agile! You could see that they all were well prepared. The game began and the opponents started scoring and scoring. Finally, our star player, Tan Sihao scored! :D The momentum was there and the guys’ coordination got better. However, the first accident happened! The 1.9m player hit knocked onto Wenjie and Wenjie fall flat on his back! “OUCH?” Thankfully he’s alright. Not long after, the second accident occurred! Sihao sprained his ankle :{ He lay on the ground and everyone could see how much pain he was in :[

The game paused and Sihao was sent to the hospital. A few accompanied him while the rest stayed on to watch as the game still had to go on. We gave the rest of the players our support and encouragement. 2 other WUST students were asked to join in our game so that the team will be strengthened. And it did help!
Our Np representatives (without Sihao)!

This was the guy that kept knocking against them :{


The game ended at about 12. Sihao has not come back and we can’t return to the hostel because our keys are with Eline and Eline is with Sihao! :{ So Charmaine, Meowlin, Noor and I stayed at the court to watch more matches. I then decided to go for a run since I had my sport shoes on. Finally I’m exercising again!! ;} At about 1, we managed to contact Eline and realized that they were actually in the room already :@
Thankfully it wasn’t a serious fracture. Get well soon okay, Tan Si Hao? :)

We went back to our rooms respectively to have our lunch. Eline, Meowlin and I had the feeling of playing badminton. So we happily take our rackets, put our shoes on and went down to the court. It was only then we realized that it isn’t a fine day to play badminton because the wind was blowing from all directions. Spoil :(
Went back to the room and started to prepare for the dinner with our local buddies! This was planned by the teachers I think? We are going to treat the students to dinner at a hotel! ;]


Reflection
Before the dinner start, a representative from each division had to say a speech. And Sam, representing ECE, said something that touch me. “学生们对我们的热情与帮助,让新家坡的学生忘记了想念家的感觉。” I so agree to that statement. I believe not only me, but everyone present there feels the same. Suddenly, all the moments spent with the local students flashed past me. No words can ever describe the gratitude I have towards them. Time passed so quickly. I remember it was just not long ago that we met the local students and became friends. Now, we’re counting down to return to Singapore by single digits..
