The birthday boy making a wish!

Soon it was morning and some of us headed out to play with fireworks before we head back to continue with our area cleaning and packing. It was definitely a wonderful experience as we don't get to set off fireworks back home in Singapore.
After area cleaning and packing, we are all ready to go! As usual, we have to carry our luggage and baggage down the stairs for 3 levels. The weight of our luggage now is definitely heavier than the day 1 when we reached with all the shopping and things which we are bringing back home for our loved ones! Thus, we helped one another carry the luggage down and we are all ready to go. We bid goodbye to the auntie who is in-charge of our hostel before we load up our luggage onto the bus and set off. Here are the group photo before we set off!
21 Guns!
All set and ready to go!
All set and ready to go!
Before we leave, some of us felt rather reluctant as we had spent 6 weeks of our time over here. All of us got more or less attached and found ourselves adapted to the lives over here. Looking back at the wonderful memories which we had created and shared over here, we were all glad that we are in it together for we are the 21 guns!
The bus ride from WUST Campus to the airport will take approximately around 2hours and thus, all of us fell asleep on the bus as either we didn't sleep the night before or only have a few hours of sleep back at the hostel.
Once we reached the airport, we proceed to check in our luggage at the counter together before we went for our lunch together @ KFC for the last time in China. After having our lunch, we have to board the plane from Wuhan to Guangzhou which will take approximately around 2hours to reach there. Here are some of the photos!

Goodbye Wuhan, China!
Snacks on board!
After reaching Guangzhou International Airport, we have to wait for around 2hours for our transit from Guangzhou to Singapore. Thus, we went for a little walk and decided to sit down at a corner to relax as we were all getting tired. Here are some of the photos!
Relax one corner!
Soon, it was time for us to board the plane, CZ351 from Guangzhou back home to Singapore! We headed to the check in counters, passed the security checks and headed down the row to our gate, A16. Here are some of the photos!

The flight from Guangzhou to Singapore will take approximately around 4hours and thus, we indulge ourselves in our songs, sleep as well as some chit-chatting sessions to help pass time. Soon, an announcement was made that the plane will be making their landing soon and to our amaze, we landed in Singapore earlier as scheduled at around 10.40pm.
Hello Singapore!
Goodbye Wuhan, Hello Singapore!
After we disembark the plane, we headed off to clear the customs as well to buy some things we want and headed to collect our luggage and ready to go home!

After checking out, we bid goodbye to one another of the 21 guns, separated and headed back home!
My Reflections:
Time flies. 6 weeks of Overseas Immersion Programme had just pass by. 42 days of us being away from our family and loved ones and all by ourselves, with only our friends as our companion.
Finding ourselves rather reluctant to leave as we had spent 6 weeks of our time over here. All of us got more or less attached together among ourselves and found ourselves adapted to the lives over here. Looking back at the wonderful memories which we had created and shared over here, we were all glad that we are in it together for we are the 21 guns! This is the group of people who made this trip and this journey a very special and extraordinary one, not forgetting our trip leader, Mr. Joseph Loh as well. At the same time, if me and my friends didn't sign up for this OIP, we won't be able to experience so much and also, meeting such great group of people whom we call friends and who will be remain close to us. No matter where we are, we will still be connected.
I would say confidently that I had certainly benefited alot from this Overseas Immersion Programme. For example, this OIP had broaden my perspective of the world around me, enhance my experience and knowledge and let me know more of the history and culture of China. At the same time, not forgetting, I had made a group of new and wonderful friends! The wonderful memories which we had shared and enjoyed together will forever be in our memories and 21 guns will never be forgotten.
Back in Singapore, our learning journey continues.
