Another day of rest.

Day 16 - 9 September 2008

This morning is different from previous mornings. IS lecture at 8.15am, BPE test at 10.15am. HOWEVER, Adelene, Teckyi, Andy and I did not attend the lessons at all!!! =P

Wait. We did not pon lessons for nothing okay. Teckyi is accompanying Andy to visit a dentist because Andy is having a toothache. As for me, I have to accompany Adelene to visit the school doctor as I am the only one with the experience before. Anyway, I got to visit the doctor in order to get some more medicine for my slight cough and sore throat. Also need to shun bian buy the 川贝枇杷糖浆for Shiuan Shiuan and Andy.

Therefore, at approx. 8.15am, the 4 of us went to the Administrative Office of the International School at level 5 of 'WUST Block 50'. Seriously, the staff there are quite helpful as they assist us in a lot things. For example, the lady helped us to notify the school hospital that 2 of us are going to visit the doctor while another staff drove Andy and Teckyi to the dental clinic. THANKS!! (although they won't be seeing this post. But anyway, I am very grateful for their assistance in every thing in order to make our stay in WUST/China as comfortable as possible..) =D

Anyway, the visit to the hospital is a completely different experience when I go the other time. This time, there are more patients and doctors (have the polyclinic feeling). Maybe it is morning?? Who knows. Anyway, (as usual and expected), the whole hospital seems lack of system and organisation. You can just enter any room for consultation, no queue tag etc. OHYA, something interesting. Temperature taking requires the patient to leave the room and wait for 5 minutes, with the thermometer. Haha. that's what happened to Adelene. Probably because the thermometer is an old one ba.

Afterwards, most of the afternoon was spent on resting/slacking before most of us (together with Li Xuan) went to 建设七路for some 烧烤dinner and visit the "pasar malam". The pasar malam is quite similar to normal flea markets with nothing special there. Examples of goods available there are watches, female wear, mobile phone accessories, books, household necessities, wallets, bags, posters, shoes, socks, toys, DVDs and earings etc

THE END. =D
