Day 12 - IS module

Today is the first IS lesson with Ms Grace! The previous lesson was conducted by Ms Zheng. Today, she covered the topic of the; location, area of China and the Hu Bei (the location of where we are in, for people who do not know =))

Ms grace was able to interact with the students to teach us about the various facts and statistics about the China population, states and size. Also, she introduced alitte about the specialties about Wu Han that we can visit.

After classes, we were suppose to meet the director of MDE, however he was busy, so the interview was postponed to another time. However, we had a surprised visit from him =) (sorry, no photos of him)

Had claypot rice for lunch again. Guess what!! I ordered wrongly. AGAIN. It was too spicy, so Eline and I swapped, and I ate potato with duck rice. We decided to send our laundry today for washing, as we are going for a cruise on FRIDAY to SUNDAY!!! Don't envy us =p

Had the whole day to ourselves, so I webcam - ed and slept. In the night, we went to eat at one of the nearby restaurant, to help celebrate the book prize of Chao Ran and Ji Long. Congrats guys!!! =) In the resturant, we met a very cute boy, that always sticked to Fathullah. Not fair. I want him too =(





Reflection

On this trip, I found that the local students are very hardworking. It may be due to the fact that Singapore and China is two very different environment. In China, there are over 1 Billion people, each fighting for the one chance to get success. While in Singapore, everything is handed to us on a silver platter, we don not need to work for anything. This may be the reason why, the Chinese are able to make it big in Singapore, therefore we cannot complain that they are stealing what is rightfully ours. This is something that we can learn from them. Their spirit of fighting for a chance, even if the odds are against them.
