Day 15 - Presentation

Presentation day!!! Today is the day where everyone has worked so hard for. For some groups, they had to meet early to finalize the PowerPoint and scripts. But for me, our group is almost done and everything can be finalized in class =)

After we reached the class, each group were in their little section of the class, whispering about which group member will be presenting on. Ms Neo has decided to give each group 10 minutes of buffer time, to calm down and finally finalize the PowerPoint slides. None of the groups were able to decide on who will start the ball rolling. So I suggested on drawing lots to make it fair for each team. In my head, I wanted my group to go second, as the first will be the strictest and be the benchmark, while the last group may not have the full interest of the class. Sometimes, the irony of the predicament gets the better of me, and my group ended presenting the last.

After the 4 groups have presented, my group is finally presenting!! Our group has decided to do an event on modelling for charity. The donated money and items will all be given to orphanages. Can you see that we are very kind - hearted?? =p While presenting, Ms Neo pointed out the mistakes that we have made and requested that we edited the poewerpoint before sending it to her for marking. So, after we were dismissed, several groups stayed behind and worked on editing the powepoint. As there were points that we could not solve, we decided to go for lunch first then work on the powerpoint when we reutn to the dorm. When we decided to have lunch, it was only 12 plus, so it was still very early. Hence, the 03s decided to go to walmart (isn't walmart an American store??) to shop for the necessities needed on the 'cruise' and have lunch at pizza hut (I have not eaten pizza hut for a long long time, joy!!) =)





After we collected our laundry, we went our for lunch!! As there are 7 of us, we decided to take a "bread" van. You may be wondering what is a "bread" van, it is similar to a taxi tht we have in Sinapore, however they do not charge by the meter., but rather the distance taken and the van can take up to 7 people and looks like a loaf of bread. Thus, also known as a "bread" van. The cab fare only cost RMB12, which is s$2+ (super super cheap!!). So we took the van to the shopping mall, and we had our virgin pizza hut experience!!! The whole meal for 7 of us only cost RMB500+, which is S$100.






After lunch, we went to the walmart to buy our stuff for the cruise. The guys ought real necessitites like bread and water. While, we bought soooo much snacks, that we look like we are going to war. Hahaha!! After we bought our stuf,, we cam back to the dorm and rushed out our project and packed our bags..

Reflection

Unlike Singapore, China has a very flexible transportation system. This helps to make the Chinese life easier. But in Singapore, everything must go according to the law, so it will be safer then China.
