There was a Welcome Gala for Yuying Students and Teachers at the school.
And at the same time, we were also assigned to our respective buddies.
We also walked around the school and visited the studio, labs, etc.
And a moment later, we join the students in MiaoMiao Secondary School for their lessons.
It was English lesson so the teacher bought the whole class to some mountains or something beside the school.
The scenery is awesome, the weather is cool, and we took pictures there too.
After English lesson, we had our Dance lesson in the studio. Lol.
Now I know being a Chinese Dancer is never easy!
So many steps to remember, so many things to learn in a short period of time.
Perhaps I am never good at dancing! hahaha.
But overall, it was indeed enjoyable ever since everyone of us had fun dancing and laughing at each other. (:
In the afternoon, we went to a Primary School in the countryside for some Community Involvement Programme.
Everyone of us contributed a small amount of money to buy some stationery for them.
Seriously, they are so adorable. And it really makes me reflect, on how blessed Singaporeans are.
And we should really treasure the things around us, and shouldn't regret.
Don't grumble about how bad YOUR life is, because there are still people who need MORE help than YOU.
Living in comfort, not much disasters, no shortage of food and water, transportation isn't a problem.
So, what do you expect more?
Had a good time there playing with the kids. They seems really joyful receiving gifts from us.
And it really makes you appreciate so much things. Really.
Left the place and headed for dinner and that probably sums up today.

Day 3, Tuesday, 27th May 2008.

First part of the day was spent rehearsing our chinese song 梁山伯与茱丽叶.
Which our group will be performing for the Art Festival Concert on Wednesday.
Everyone worked together on our pitching, voice and stage presentation.
And everything went on smoothly. Atleast we tried our best.

Had music lessons after rehearsals.
It's really interesting to learn some singing techniques.

Our music teacher have high pitch vocals and she sounds great when she's singing! :D

Went to visit Agriculture Science Research Center about farming in the later part of the day.
Since there are alot of farming areas of wheat and others around the school.
Hate walking for a long distance under the hot sun and perspiring continously.
Fortunately, there's always a group of friends to hang out with. And that would be so much better. (:

Start the day with an Opening Ceremony to officially start the Arts Festival event.
Everyone of us marched in to the court. (:
There was a friendly basketball match between Yuying and MiaoMiao students.
And followed by different station sports activities for the Arts Festival.
Standing Broad Jump, table tennis, skipping, relay and sit ups.
We went around all the stations and try out different kind of sports.
And while, Angeline and me really have a great time playing tennis.
Even though we suck at it, but while. Hahaha.

Day 5, Thursday, 29th May 2008.



There was sports activities held in the school on the second day in the morning.
We cheered for the participants who had participated in the relay. (:
In the afternoon, we went for SHOPPING and that's like the best thing ever!

Everyone have been waiting for the moment to arrive.
Walked around with Mr.Dzul and others around the shopping mall.
And the first item that I bought was a thumbdrive!
My digital camera was out of memory, so I need a thumbdrive to transfer all my pictures.
Bought alot of things, ranging from shirts and even to the BEIJING OLYMPIC DOLLS!
After dinner, there was campfire in the night which was really great.
We had to perform without any preparation and every students did really well.
Cheers, songs, chatting, singing and dancing was how we spent the night.
But unfortunately, it rains halfway during the campfire and it was being cancelled.
Had no choice but to carry those chairs back to the library and return to the hostel to rest.

Campfire.
