The 3rd day..is study time!!! how come i don't feel bored sitting in their classroom? i like to see them studying..from the back of their classroom..i can see clearly how they study..it was 'OH MY GOD!!' they were so attentive in class and they read their textbook as a class..so...so united..


and they ask and answer questions like nobody's business (erm..maybe is should say..they have lots of questions to ask..) ..they are not afraid that they might give the wrong answer. Alright, end of lesson.. Next station, pet-rocket making lesson. How was it? Of course it was fun!! together with our buddies. However, the 1st session of the lesson, we weren't sitting together WITH our buddies ( Tampines one corner, Sanxin another corner..haha). But i still made new friends..you know..i'm very 'sociable' =). They asked lots of questions about Singapore..i still remember the 1st question that i asked them was " Are you guys from the same class?" because i saw them talking to one another like they are good friends..but they answer me back " Nope, we are from different levels". I think they are more sociable then me..haha. During our lunch time, we toured the Thames Town, which would be the most memorable places we have visited.

We sat on a tram and toured the Thames Town with the cold wind blowing against our faces.

I heard from Ms Xiao that there are so many pairs of couples taking their weddings photo in Thames Town is because the buildings look very much like London.


I first saw Thames Town.. I had a feeling that I'm living in a countryside. After the tour on the tram, we requested for another round..but the second round..we didn't take the tram..but we walk through the cool breeze of Thames Town.


Then we went back to Sanxin to continue with our pet-rocket making lesson. After all these 'hard' work doing the rockets, we went out to release our gun-powder rockets. You know...gun-powders are dangerous..so,we leave these work to the guys. The sad thing is that..my rocket didn't OPEN!!! Never mind!! Next, we went to a village for our dinner!!!!YummmYummmm...Together with our buddies and tour guide..we sat one table. I can tell you, those students are DARING..they really Love to ask things..so..whatever we want to ask..they will help us..because we are shy!!! haha..actually not so..is because we are afraid that we might say the wrong stuff, e.g we can't call the waitress '小姐'..
The most exciting event of the day...the performance night!!!


Both the schools brought up performance which we (audience..non-performers..haha) really enjoyed..our school brought up 3 performances ( 1 song, 2 acts) by different groups..boy groups did the acting

and the girls did the singing.

Sanxin also brought up wonderful performances...the audience ( we, tampines students ) also brought up 'performance' by sacrificing our legs!!

We joined in a game which we have to sit on each other lap..Sanxin students were so enthu to play..just a call for participants..WOOO..a HUGE bunch of Sanxin students raised their hands..Amy and I were thinking if we should participate too..if not Tampines Secondary will lose face ( because no one raise their hands..haha..too old for games..=)) in the end..more and more Tampines students raised hands..After the game, we went back to our seat to enjoy the rest of the performances..we were so high that day..we sway and clapped our hands when the teachers were singing ( when we got back to our hotel..Mr Ng told us that the Chinese delicates were very surprised to see such enthu students...the teachers also feel so..)
Alright, after a tired night..back to hostel!
Forgot to say something..the sky over there changes colour very fast..At around 5 plus..the sky is getting darker..not very used to it actually..haha
And every night..we will have debrief of tomorrow's activities..and we made lots of noise when we get too excited like nobody is staying there..but indeed there are people SLEEPING already..
The day which we are treated..for the first time..as 'VIPs'.

The places we went, there are lots of students waiting for us...taking pomp-pomps..shouting cheers "huan ying huan ying!!"..haha..they were small students but they were soooo cute!!! For me, i did feel awkward when we walk through the middle..i think the rest of them also feel so...i'm so shy!! haha..but this was just the starting of the day, when we went to our hostel. The more grand welcome is at the back, when we went to Sanxin School. There were band playing..again..the feeling came automatically..we were so shy!!! When we walk to their small field, which had already gathered some (perhaps a hundred) Sanxin students. They gave us a very heart-warming welcome..by rising from the seats and applaused. It was really really very grand..to me. After those introduction, we exchange our gifts with our buddies..by the way..mine is a girl..It was a really fun time with the students in Sanxin school and of course i will never ever forget about my..tour guide-chen yu ting!! She is a very matured girl..all her action and thoughts were very matured..doesn't fit her age of 12 at all..she looks more like a sec4 student. Next stop, we came to Square Tower Park.



There were alot of stuff to see and experience..especially when Amy and Sherlene went to put on the ‘格格’ costume and when SiYong put on the “皇上” costume..they attracted our crowd's attention..we everybody was despo to take their photos...after this, then we went to their school..to take a look..the last part..of course is the dinner!! u think that dinner should be the fullest meal right?..i also thought so..but i think that we have wasted alot of food that day ( or maybe EVERYDAY!) is not that we are too full is because many of us are not used to their food and also because i do not eat beef or lamb, which have been served almost every meal too..in the end..i didn't eat much that day..however..that did not affect my activities for that day..because the open space outside the restuarant was chilling~~woo~~haha

Today is the first day of the ShangHai Trip. Our flight is a night flight, so most of us felt sleepy, especially me! After taking this China Eastern Airline flight, i still prefer SIA. The airplane is quite squeezy, from what I know. The food is still acceptable, however the plane is not very stable, it has been 'rocking' all the way (perhaps not all the way...maybe i should say most of the time). But we still reach the Pudong Airport safely, together with the SpeedB company's bosses and assistant. Upon reaching their airport, we didn't walk through the gate but the doors of the plane. It is quite surprising to experience such walk, through the cold wind of ShangHai.
