HOME AT LAST.

Now I am, in my room sitting on my comfortable bed thinking of my life in Wuhan.

Life in Wuhan is really enjoyable with classmates, local students, friends from the back alley, Mrs Tang, Mr Imran and Dr Teoh. Everyone played a significant role in my life in Wuhan.

Thinking of life in Wuhan, I felt really fortunate.

  • I have a very comfortable place to live in, with mattress four times thicker than the students sleeping in their bunk everyday. 
  • I have warm water to brush my teeth and bathe. 
  • They have to wash their own clothes while my washing machine wash my clothes. 
  • They have to worry about having enough toothpaste, shampoo and daily necessities while all of mine are well taken care of by my mum. 
  • I have a fan and an aircon when the weather gets too hot, while the students living in their dorm do not even have a heater-cum-aircon to keep themselves warm in winter and spring and keeping themselves cool during the summer. 
  • My dinner is settled for me by my parents while they have to get their own outside. 
Just these few points alone makes me feel very fortunate. What more living by yourself miles away from your family, for the sake of studies and barely seeing them. If I am in their shoes, I would probably be really sad over that. This makes me realize that the warmth of family and friends is really important! 

My stay in Wuhan also allow me to gain several life knowledge. 
For example, friends.
Having friends is probably the most important thing in life. When I was ill back in Wuhan having pain on my left abdomen and at the same time She Hui was unwell and we were both sleeping, Gracia brought two buckets of laundry for washing all by herself. After that, we went to get lunch for us accompanying lunch is warm tea. Thank you Gracia, you've been a great friend and is a great help for me while we are in Wuhan. Same goes to She Hui as well. Thank you for being there as a really good friend. 
This trip bonded me closer to both of them as we often have heart to heart talks in our rooms! Sometimes together with Issac and Calvin too! Before this trip, I barely know the both of them as well as the rest of the group. But, after 5 weeks, we really bonded well! 
This shows that over time, strangers can become really good pals too! :) 

LOVE PHARMily! 

A big thank you to everyone including teachers who guided me through this trip, without you guys... I wouldn't be me! :)
