during class (Mr Wong showing the Wushu shots taken:)

The night before wasnt spent as smoothly as other nights. My whole body itches and I feel like there's something crawling all over me, causing me to be wide awake in the middle of the night just to scratch those few spots. I had to constantly apply moisturizer to relieve my dry and irritable skin.

It wasnt the first time I have these "itch-attacks" due to lack of water and dryness. My lips had begun to swell and was as big and as red as nobody's business. The worst part was that since I'm wearing short sleeve to sleep the sleeve keep rubbing the sore area causing it to be more irritated. It was really painful and the main thing was I could not sleep at all because of all it.

It got to a stage whereby waking up was almost a relief. Since I did not sleep well the night before, my swollen eyes showed and my roomates and I cant help but thought my whole face was swollen. -.- It was that bad.

Lesson (lecture) was at 1pm since Mr Wong wanted us to rest well for the trip as we came back quite late last night (around 9pm). Therefore my roommates and I bought some food and ate in our bunk before heading to class. 

Mr Wong shared with us a website that shows a few countries' brief history and historical event to enhance our understanding from our IS lesson. I thought it was very useful as other countries were mentioned and compared to China as well. He had also kindly shared with us some of his photos from his other trips i.e. in India and Egypt. At one point of time, he described what happen to some of the individual in his group and how they were able to pull through as a team. It reminded me of the 6th NE message:

We have confidence in our future.
United, determined and well-prepared, we have what it takes to build a bright future for ourselves, and to progress together as one nation.

Probably the spirit that he have with his team is similar to the ones some of us felt during the climb especially sticking with each other to give moral support and boost of spirit.

After class did a little bit more laundry and had dinner with JO1s at the Fake KFC. I had 5 chicken (4spicy mcwings-taste-alike and 1 drumstick) with fries and iceCoffee, "damn shiok can.". Went back to blog to polish up the day.
