Day 25 - Student Chief

Went for industry visit at 8. Went to Fibre Optics industry... (The use of light rather then the traditional movements of electrons)

Our guide explaining about his industry in Chinese.

Our translator, (one of our lecturer) translating in English.

One of the procedures. The glass rod moving to and fro as the plasma inside coats the rod.

And the end result. The part at the top is the thickest and known as the 'raw material' of this industry. The middle rod is after it has been coated. And the bottom rod is after it has been 'processed'.

A video on one of the explanations...

Look at the diagram.. it shows the whole process and quality control starts from the top when the rod is heated and changed into liquid form, another check. Finally, last check at the bottom before it is twisted into reels.

After which, we went and see the actual process but we are not allowed to take pictures of.

The company!!!

Group photo as proof we have been there.

And we even have rainbow cables. Amazing huh?

The rods before processing (bottom) to after processing (top) have diameters shown here from 150mm to 80mm to 40mm.

Cables- Waterproofing Pigtails Cables. Versatile and useful.

Finally, we took the bus and dropped the ISCT students at Wuhan University (武大) to see the 'Para Para Sakura'.

Look, these stone slabs look alike seem to be emitting smoke. I thought that it was dry ice... but it's too dangerous to transport it thus.

Then, as the bus also passed by Walmart, several of us alighted with Mr Wong and from there, we went our separate ways. I headed to Pizza hut with Stephanie, Xiang Yu, Seok and Mei Yun(Sorry, I always confuse her name)

See, Pizza!!!

The interior of the building. Looks so grand..

We never get a mug in Singapore. So cool!!!

Pepsi with a lemon in it. It's really less gas. And the total bill tally's at 212. We each paid for what we eat. I ended up paying 30+ bucks. Convert it to 7 plus in Singapore... Quite ok... I think...

New Orleans Chicken Wings.. They 'flew' in from another country.

And here, Stephanie and the others were utilising the utensils while trying to maintain their 形象(image) while all I went was, "Since when do you all have 形象?"

Xiang Yu ordered the set meal and this is his pizza. It's so small and still he offered to share it with us. Thanks, but, you eat la, Xiang Yu.

And out Hawaiian pizza that made us wait for 17 minutes... Cheese and more cheese?

Afterwards we went shopping around the area for a thermo flask for Seok's sister. In the end, Stephanie and Xiang Yu went up in the arcade for Free Toss Basketballs.

Go Xiang Yu go! He managed to get 38 points.

Stephanie, 加油! Not bad, she got 36 points.

Went to StarBucks to purchase the thermos flask and in return, we get free drinks... Well, it's free in my case because I wasn't buying anything.

The small cup of drink... Vanilla and Caramel. High class de!!

Finally, went back to the hostel and met up with Mr Wong to go to Mr Loh's house. We met up with Mr Loh and took a 5 minutes walk to his apartment. Not too shabby, Mr Loh.

See, we all sitting down after bringing over the ingredients.

And finally, the 3 senior chief's in-training. Stephanie, Seok and Xiang Yu.

Mr Loh's bed has electric heating. I am so envious. I want it...

Seok chopping garlic video...

She looks so 不爽('Not happy, wanna fight' look). Direct your anger at the garlics, please.

Stephanie washing the vegetables.

Much later on, I am also helping her in peeling the vegetables and becoming the messenger. Don't think I never do anything ah...

Xiang Yu is really like a traditional hawker. He has the skills as well... Impressive, I never knew he was that multi-talented.

In a chinese newspaper, this picture caught my eye. The headlines read, "If women ruled the world..."

I was also laughing to the jokes inside there.

And at last, we, student chiefs, have cooked up a spread. It's simple but seriously, now I know how my maid actually can stand doing this tedious work.

Ate our own cooking and soon, joined by Clive, Randolph, Masita and Hajar.

Watched the 'diving' championships channel at Mr Loh's place. Stephanie, Mei Yun, Seok and Xiang Yu left first and soon, Mr Wong and me left.

It was freaking cold by then and also dark because there was inadequate lighting. Finally, went back to my dorm room and blogged as well...

Good night!!
