FOURTH WEEK IN CHINA

Posted on April 7, 2011 by calvinchua

The Incident*

It happened early this week (week 5) actually. My friends and I were at our
local favorite stall, the Lotus Rice stall. We made friends with the shop owner
and his wife and have come to fall in love with their baby boy =)

That aside, that day gets interesting when I accidentally stumble across a pack
of American Viagra when I went to purchase some of my daily goods in a
convenient store (opposite the lotus rice stall). It was normal Viagra, except
that the packaging was rather obscene. On the cover of the packaging was a man
and a woman, fully nude, having sex. No censorship. No clothes at all. Just
hardcore sex. In addition, there were others packs of Viagra of different
brands, most of which were less obscene, yet, enough to catch ones attention.

It sparked a question in me: Is this even legal? I went to other convenient
stores around the area and I couldn’t find the same thing. Most of the Viagra
they sold, were covered in dark packaging and had no pictures. Firstly, Viagra
in Singapore is a POM drug. But that’s in Singapore, I’m not too sure about in
China. Secondly, even if it weren’t a POM drug, are obscene packagings legal?
Judging by how the other shops didn’t have Viagra of those brands, I’m guessing
those were purchased illegally.

I came back to the same convenient store two days later and wanted to take
pictures of it because I was considering talking about it for one of my
presentations. At the time I was there, a young boy aged about 5-7 years old was
standing really close to where the Viagra was located. No, he wasn’t peeking a
look at the Viagra, but yet, he could easily have. So yes, the Viagra may have
been purchased illegally, but couldn’t the shop owners have exercised more
discretion and kept them at a safer, more isolated area? The Viagra section was
located at the front side of the shop just as you enter.

It’s no wonder young minds are being more and more corrupt at a much younger
age. I went to Las Vegas when I was 12 with my family. EVERYWHERE along the
walkways of the streets were business cards of prostitutes and brothels. On the
walls and lamp posts were posters advertising their “business” as well. All of
them had obscene nude pictures on them and none of them with censorship. Imagine
the kind of impact this will do to the younger generation. Would you like your
younger siblings or children to be exposed to sex and naked women at ages as
young as 4 or 5?

Isn’t it the fault of the older generation and their lack of concern and
discretion that is leading to the corruption of the younger generation? Aren’t
more and more younger people getting addicted to these things? Not only
pornography mind you. There are other things like games, food, magazines,
beauty, and fashion that youths and young people are very influenced by. For
example, fashion magazines these days portray beauty as being slim, having a big
bust, tall, curves in the right place, unblemished skin, good complexion, sharp
nose and the list goes on. Is it any surprise that girls and guys these days
consider themselves ugly and worthless if they do not fit the criteria mentioned
above? Couldn’t magazines these days publish beauty as being inward?

I conclude by reemphasizing my point about the exercising of discretion when
taking any action. It is truly important and it’s a lesson that I have learnt. I
also end of with a question lingering in my head: What are we as the next
generation going to do about it?

THIRD WEEK IN CHINA

Posted on March 30, 2011 by calvinchua

*The Incident

Okay straight to the point. I didn’t really encounter any interesting incidences
this week, but something someone said during one of our presentations really
struck me. I believe one of the groups interviewed a Chinese TCM physician and
found out that TCM is mostly patronized by the elderly or older generation
whereas Western Medicine (WM) is patronized mostly by the younger generation.
Reason being: TCM is a slow and steady process. Results are usually seen much
later. WM on the other hand is ‘hard and fast’ and results will yield within
mere hours.

It got me thinking. This ‘Hard and Fast’ notion is not something we’re
unfamiliar with. We live in Singapore. A country reputed to have the fastest
moving escalators in South East Asia and possibly top 10 in the world. Yet why
did it seem so strange to hear that even in China, the younger generation are
forsaking the slow and steady TCM and leaning towards WM instead?

Personally, I’ve tried TCM before. It was for a persistent cough I could not get
rid off when I was a kid. My grandma brought me to a Chinese physician and after
observing my condition, he diagnosed me with having a ‘Cold cough’. He said my
internal organs were cold and that I needed to counter that with some ‘heat’.
Instead of prescribing me with herbs and such, he told my grandmother to get me
a bottle of hard liquor. 60% XO to be precise. His instructions were to give me
a small glass once a day at night before I slept. Guess what? It worked.

Initially I knocked out really quickly after each cup at night. After a while I
realized that even during the day, I no longer coughed as much. Very soon, I
stopped coughing completely. The TCM physician worked on the basis of restoring
the balance of yin and yang in my body. He wanted to balance the coldness in my
body with heat. Looking back, Western Medicine worked wonders, but only
temporarily. I remember taking cough syrups and lozenges that made me stop
coughing, but once the drugs wore out, the cough would come back.

My point: Could it be that as youngsters in a fast moving generation, we’re
actually going for ‘Hard and Fast’ but it isn’t doing us much good? I consider
my own actions and I realized that I complained of the slowness of the internet
connection speed when we first got here. A thought triggered within me: Are
youngsters these days getting addicted to the internet and online gaming because
super-fast internet speeds are available? Didn’t the porn industry grow
exceedingly fast because it was made available over the internet? Could all
these negative implications end if the internet speeds were drastically
shortened?

Enough about the internet. Are we moving too fast? Are we wanting and demanding
too much? Has this quickening in pace of life lead many to suffer from diseases
and illnesses? I believe there is some truth to these questions. I am seriously
considering learning from this one simple incident. I have decided to remember
the old fable where the tortoise beat the hare. Slow and steady wins the race.
Of course it does not happen all the time as the early bird catches the worm =)

Let’s see what happened: We were stuck in human traffic over the weekend as we
attempted to climb Wudang Shan to reach the Golden Summit. We were literally
squeezed from all directions as we were waiting to pass through the crowds to
reach the walkway up the mountain. And even during the climb up, it was really
slow. From the place where we first started all the way to the top and even as
we were climbing down the mountain, everywhere was filled with people.

While everyone including myself were complaining, I can’t help but think back
and realize that that slow journey up the mountain actually did us some good.
We’ve been moving all over the place really quickly. Over the past week we’ve
been cramped with 3 presentations and 1 test. There was hardly any time to rest.
What’s more is that that slow journey up the mountain allowed us to really get a
good look at the beautiful scenery all around us. Instead of just briefly
glancing over and taking pictures, for once, I managed to observe even the
tiniest details that made it a wonderful experience. Furthermore, the
conversations that we had on the way up were fun and light-hearted. The kind of
conversations you normally won’t have on a normal busy day.

My conclusion? I think developing countries like China have something really
special that countries like Singapore need. A slower pace of life. Time to rest
and enjoy what we have. Let’s all learn from this and try to slower down our
pace of life shall we?

SECOND WEEK IN CHINA

Posted on March 20, 2011 by calvinchua

To Mr. Imran: Please read “The Incident” only if you do not wish to be bored to
death by all the little adventures I’ve gone through each and every day of the
week.

14th March, Monday

We had a tour of the Shan Dong campus of WUST which is an hour away from the
campus we are currently located at. We left at 9 a.m. sharp and left the place
at around 4 p.m. It was rather interesting as we were each assigned a local
university student as a “guide”. My guide’s name was Lin Guo He, a 21 year old,
3rd year English major at the WUST. It was a painful experience for us both.
Very definitely due to the fact that I could speak close to no Chinese, and the
Chinese I knew was broken, my pronunciation made me sound like a baby first
learning how to speak and her English was just as bad XD It did help that I
understand MUCH better than I can speak Chinese.

The tour kicked-off with a few ice-breaker games =) OH! After lunch, I played my
FIRST GAME OF TENNIS! hehehe cool experience except that I sucked so bad. My
only consolation is that I could proudly say I didn’t suck the most XD A few of
the guys also had their first try at it and I can imagine the coach in the next
court was finding it excruciatingly painful to watch us whack the tennis balls
10 feet into the air only to watch the balls find their way to the fire
extinguisher box =)

15th March, Tuesday

Had classes as usual today. Learnt a bit about the geography of China and where
the different provinces are located. Took down some notes too XD

After lunch, we went back to the rooms to finish up our project work. At around
4 p.m. a few of us went to get some EXERCISE! Some ran, while others played
badminton. I was one of those who did both. BAD IDEA. You’ll see why XD

16th March, Wednesday

Woke up with a slight sore throat and flu today. My arms and legs were aching
from running and gymming frequently over the past few days. Or at least that was
what I was telling myself, but who am I kiddin’ XD I played more than 2 hours of
badminton yesterday and completely ignored the pangs of pain throughout the
whole time. Wasn’t feeling too bad though. Apart from the aches and the sore
throat and flu that is.

Lessons went on as usual. We ended our lessons early and went for lunch together
as usual.

After lunch, I tried…… CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM! =D Probably my biggest REGRET of the
week as I ended up coughing over the next few days. And guess what? The ice
cream wasn’t even that awesome =( Ended up choking down lozenges over the entire
weekend. Sad life.

17th March, Thursday

PRESENTATION DAY!!! Despite the fact that my whole room is swarming with
Streptococcus pyogenes (because my room mates and I are sick) I think we did a
pretty good job! AND… I narrated our video in CHINESE! Thanks Chaz for
translating and Chun Hui for being so patient and doing the video XD hahahaha I
seriously felt ACCOMPLISHED! People even commented that my pronunciation was
accurate =) I’m going to forget that I acted like a GOAT for the video and
unethically humped Chaz who was the GOAT HERDER. *I hope my mommy and my
girlfriend never see this XD*

The rest of the day was spent slacking. Since I wasn’t feeling too good, I slept
the whole afternoon away hahaha.

18th March, Friday

CRUISE DAY!!!! XD

Woke up not feeling very much better, but the fever had subsided, thank God. We
packed our bags and started our 6 hour long journey to the Three Gorges. We
watched “The Karate Kid” on the bus. Hahahaha epicly over-dramatized, but I
couldn’t think of any show that was more suited for the trip than this one =) It
was a real light-hearted movie and a good watch for everyone =)



We arrived at the cruise at around 6 p.m. and after inspecting the cool,
comfortable cabins, we headed to the top of the boat to the scene deck. We took
pictures for the entire time we were there (about 1 hour). The weather was
rather cool and the scenery was really amazing. After that we went to the dining
area where dinner was served. It was here that a very chaotic incident involving
a few unsatisfied PRC men and the waitresses and chef of the cruise took place.
(*see “The Incident” for more detail)

The night ended very subtly with card games and Chinese Chess.

19th March, Saturday

I coughed so much the following day that it didn’t surprise me when I saw blood
in the sink when I cleared my throat in the morning. My only regret: Not having
a camera to capture the moment XD hahaha it was scary, yet kinda cool for some
reason hahaha.

I soon realized that we were still on our journey to the Shen Nong Stream
despite travelling the entire night. It was 10 a.m. at that time. Decided to
play cards and chat with some of the others who were already awake =)

After lunch, we transferred from our cruise ship to a smaller boat that took us
to the dock where we transferred from that ship to a SAMPAN. That’s right, a
SAMPAN. Believe it or not, that was the main attraction! hahaha it was very
cold, and the journey lasted an hour! But… I t wasn’t as bad as I make it sound
=) We got a glimpse of what Heaven looks like. My room mate has been playing a
song this entire week that goes, “Heaven is a place on earth”. Hahahaha. The
reason I say this is because the scenery was just beautiful. Sure, all we saw
were MOUNTAINS, but the whole thing was just magnificent =)

After the whole thing, our cruise ship headed back for the port.

20th March, Sunday

Our ship sailed throughout the night and we touched the port at 7.30 a.m. in the
morning. We quickly left the ship and boarded the bus. The bus took us to the
Three Gorges Dam. Apparently the biggest hydro power station in the world. It
was BIG. And LONG. 2.3 KM from end to end. My friends and I were joking that we
could run across the dam every day and ace our NAPFA test XD It was really fun
as we found many cool places to take pictures. My friend, E****d finally got his
LOOOONNNGGGG awaited picture with a certain girl XD hehehe I hope neither of
them read this hahaha.

I’ve been to Hoover Dam in Nevada, USA and very honestly, that dam is more
suited for tourists. They even had tours inside the dam and we managed to see
the turbines and other structures. However, the Three Gorges Dam was a
spectacle. It as HUGE. I figured they couldn’t really arrange tours and such as
of yet as construction was still going on, and well, not many would want to tour
the inside of a 2.3 KM long dam.

After that we had lunch and soon headed back to Wuhan.

*The Incident

This week I observed two very interesting incidents. I shall share them both but
go into deeper detail and thought for only one of them. The first incident (the
one that I shall only scratch on the surface) is how I noticed our OIE lecturer,
Ms. Grace, remark rather forcefully at someone who commented that Tibet wasn’t
part of China. It just somewhat reminded me that Chinese citizens are very
patriotic (for lack of a better word).

The second incident was what we noticed on the cruise along the Three Gorges. It
was on the first day of the cruise, during dinner. We (NP staff and students)
were being served our dishes first. A group of PRC men who were also in the same
dining area became a little bit impatient with the waitresses and the speed at
which the cooks were preparing the food. It was chaotic.

They started complaining to the waitresses and raising their voices at them
asking them to quicken the delivery of food. Raised voices soon progressed to an
out right complaint and refusal to pay for the food. What shocked me wasn’t how
the PRC men acted. What shocked me was how our Singapore students reacted. It
didn’t seem like that big of a deal to me but almost every one at my table was
talking about it and wasn’t very happy about how those men were acting.



I must admit that it is not the first time I’ve actually observed such behavior.
In fact, I’ve seen similar incidences at least 2 times in Malaysia. In fact, my
friends and I once saw a group of TEENAGERS walking out the door, refusing to
pay the bill, AFTER finishing all the food. There are many other ways to express
ones dissatisfaction. I’ve seen some of my own friends back home who have done
things like: wasting the condiments on the table (chilly sauce, salt and pepper,
etc.), mutilate the cutlery (bending metal forks and spoons), and being very
rude to the waitresses. When comparing what I’ve experienced to what actually
happened, it seems almost normal that those men reacted the way they did, right?

I think what lies underneath all these various actions is expectation. What one
pays for, one expects to receive. What one doesn’t expect to see, will shock
him/her when he/she actually sees it. Clearly, the PRC men were expecting to be
served as quickly as we were served, and they were probably expecting the
service to be a little bit faster. Clearly not many people were prepared to see
customers threatening to not pay for the food and making a ruckus at the dining
area. That’s how complaints and comments are formed aren’t they? Even the good
comments.

Singapore’s culture is somewhat similar to how my friends reacted. Many have not
seen such incidences (not to this extent at least) and Singaporeans would
generally bring their complaints up to the “manager”. It would have been done in
a more sophisticated manner with much less noise and less ruckus I would agree.
The two cultures are similar in that when it comes to food, we ‘don’t go down
without a fight’. Complaints are made, which makes us similar in many ways, but
the style and character to how it is made is what clearly defines our two
cultures.

If the PRC men were to reenact their stunt in a restaurant in Singapore they
would be sitting on the inside of a cell in moments, I suppose. It is not common
in Singapore and I have not heard or seen any such incidence before. Of course,
seeing how the waitresses on the cruise ship responded to the mens’ complaints,
I would say that the usual Singaporean-Manager stunt would yield no positive
results in China.

I would suggest people in general lowering their level of expectation on certain
things and in certain places. For example, we were advised by our NP lecturers
to bring our own food in case the food on the cruise was unsatisfactory. We
therefore went without expecting good food, let alone to be served first at the
dining hall. I think for human beings to be satisfied at least 80% of the time,
a general lowering of ones expectations has to be adopted. The other 20% of the
time, being dissatisfied is actually important in order for one to improve and
to upgrade. How do you think we are what we are today if it wasn’t for
dissatisfaction?

FIRST WEEK IN CHINA

Posted on March 13, 2011 by calvinchua

To Mr. Imran: Please read “The Incident” only if you do not wish to be bored to
death by all the little adventures I’ve gone through each and every day of the
week.

8th March, Tuesday

We arrived safely in China after a long day of flying and transiting and flying
again. We technically reached Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST)
at 1 a.m. in the morning the following day (9th March) and only slept at 3 a.m.
after absorbing in our environment, unloading the luggage, and most importantly,
getting the internet to work hahaha.

9th March, Wednesday


We were told to assemble at 9 a.m. outside the dorms where we were given cards
that somewhat resemble our local ez-link cards. However, these cards were used
for purchasing food in the canteens. We were then given a tour around the WUST
and to various eating places around the vicinity.

A few local WUST students brought us around the area. We patronized a western
restaurant called Greenery Cafe during lunch. The food was so good that we
promised to eat at that restaurant at least once a week. Imagine the juicy,
savory, delicious steaks, large portions of food and thick and lean chicken
meat, all at prices you can never imagine! It was a food haven =)

After lunch, we were brought to a shopping mall called ‘Shopping Mall’ and for
many of us, we entered for the first time, the supermarket that has been known
for generations to have everything and anything you needed, Wal-mart. It was
huge! And they really did have almost everything you needed. We purchased all
our snacks and titbits there =)

After shopping, the WUST students brought us to a Chinese restaurant. One of
them even treated us to a local Chinese delicacy, spicy duck neck. It tasted
great except that you would only feel the spiciness kick-in AFTER you stopped
eating. And it wasn’t the nicest feeling.

The day ended with us going home at slightly after 9 p.m. to rest for classes
the following day.

10th March, Thursday

Lessons started as early as 9 a.m. We were given a brief introduction to our
academic agenda by Mr. Imran, who then went on to conduct the first two topics
for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). This day was pretty dry. Sad,
but true. Lectures have been and always will be the less fun part of the day no
matter who the lecturer is, or where we’re having the lecture, even if it’s in
China.

11th March, Friday

We had our first Overseas Immersion Experience (OIE) lecture that was conducted
by a local lecturer, Tina. Her fluency in the English language was very good,
and she was a pleasant lady who knew much about China and managed to answer all
our questions.

We had our third CAM lecture in the afternoon.

A few of us went for a run in the cold weather, and then proceeded to a local
gym that we located earlier in the week. We were very satisfied with our work
out and worked up quite an appetite.

We then had dinner at a restaurant nearby our school. The food was good, it came
fast, and it was as most other restaurants, cheap. The only problem we faced was
that a lot of the other customers were smoking inside the restaurant. This
culture is not seen anywhere in Singapore and the smoke made us feel very
uncomfortable. The food here, although a little bit salty and quite oily, is
very delicious. I sometimes wonder why the food here is so different compared to
that in Singapore. I think I’m going to get fat XD

12th March, Saturday

Today we went all over Wuhan to visit various sites and places. We visited the
Wuhan East Lake, the Yellow Crane Tower and the Wuhan History Museum. We were
even given time to shop at the Orchard Road of Wuhan. It was a tiring day filled
with walking from one place to another. Many of us fell asleep in the bus the
moment we got on. However, we got to see many beautiful sites and learnt a lot
about the history of Wuhan and of China.



*The incident

This section will be dedicated to one, or a few things, that have struck me hard
this week. I’ll begin firstly with what I observed at a local restaurant here.
It was a Thursday evening and we were having a hard time deciding where to eat.
We finally settled for a small restaurant that looked rather decent. Inside, we
sat down at the table closest to the entrance and already seated were other
local people having their meal.

The food was as usual, rather oily, but still tasty. There was nothing wrong
with what we ate. What struck me was how one man coughed up some mucus and spat
on the floor, inside the restaurant. It may have been something normal for
Chinese locals and I knew that, but it somehow still irritated me and I was
nothing less than disgusted. I could not understand why someone would do that
considering there was a box of tissue paper at every table, which he could have
easily used to clear his throat.

It struck me that maybe the people here have a lack of social consideration. Has
that man ever considered that someone else may have stepped on his spit? Maybe
he doesn’t know this, but that spit contains millions of bacteria and other
microorganisms. Coming from a pharmacy background, that means a lot as to how
germs and other diseases are transmitted. Could he have been too lazy? I’ve seen
spit all over the streets here in China and some of us have even stepped on it
accidentally. It may be a norm here but does that mean it’s okay? I can’t say
that I’ve never heard of this before, but seeing it in person makes it more
real.

I believe in Singapore there are rules about spitting. Anyone caught spitting on
public ground, if caught will be fined, no matter the reason. In Singapore,
despite the large number of PRC workers, we don’t see them spitting all over the
place. Probably because the laws in Singapore are strict and they have been
warned not to do such things. Laws are only as useful as its enforcement. In
Singapore, our laws are enforced very efficiently which makes people think twice
about breaking the law.

I’m not too sure about the laws here in China, but I haven’t seen any no
spitting signs around. However, despite the numerous no smoking signs, many
people still smoke in public areas. This makes me wonder whether the laws here
in China are being enforced or not. I believe that the main issue behind this
incident that I observed is not that the people are naturally socially
inconsiderate, but that they have been given too much freedom to do what they
please. Without proper rules and regulations, children will be brought up as
rebellious and without restraint. Without proper law and enforcement, citizens
of any country will do what they please.

I see potential conflicts between our two cultures. On one hand, Singaporeans
are more reserved and our culture does not permit that we do what we please,
especially if it affects other citizens and the country’s reputation as a whole.
On the other hand, Chinese citizens have been living in a culture that permits
smoking and spitting in restaurants. It would be a horror if a restaurant was to
be filled with 50% Chinese citizens and 50% Singaporeans on neutral ground where
no laws apply. I foresee potential disagreements and possibly a lack of
satisfaction between the two cultures. Singaporeans as we are, would probably
not confront the PRC citizens, however, a sense of discontentment and disgust
(the same feelings I felt) are sure to bubble up inside.

It will be hard to increase the level of reinforcement of the law. It would be
even harder to change ones culture. However, a lot can be done to raise the
social awareness of how spitting and smoking in public can affect other
citizens. The list is not limited to smoking and spitting, but to any other
activity that involves the reputation of the country and other citizens. Things
such as littering, selling of illegal or pirated goods, dishonest businesses,
etc. The government should make small but sure efforts to increase the social
ethics of the citizens and to tighten the enforcement of laws. Singapore is not
perfect either, but serves as a model for developing countries as it boasts to
be one of the cleanest and safest countries in the world. Our citizens may often
rush and push for the MRT’s and buses but I am sure that we are conscious of how
simple things like smoking and spitting in public can affect other people.

I conclude that it may take some time before I get used to the culture here.
Being in Singapore’s clean and law abiding environment has in many ways made me
too comfortable. I will try to adapt to the culture as best as I can here.

On A Lighter Note



I have been slowly learning and improving my Chinese. I learnt this morning how
to say and recognize certain fruits such as oranges, apples, watermelons and
mangoes. Over the past week I have been introduced to new terms and I’m looking
forward to learning more in the coming weeks =) My friend Gwen mentioned that I
learn rather quickly. That encouraged me to press on and to keep it up. I hope
to start learning how to write a few words within the next few days!
