PART 1 IS BELOW THIS ENTRY.
Note : Long entry with MANY pictures. ( It may take some time to finish loading. )
Day 6, Friday, 30th May 2008.
Went for Dance lessons at the studio after breakfast.
Learn quite a few of new dance steps, very interesting and really enjoyed myself.
Join the classes for Mathematics lessons after that.
It was total boredom, seriously!
I don't even know like what the teacher is talking about, his tone is monotonous.
And most of the students were dozing off in the class, and me too.
After the maths lesson ends, the whole school assemble at the Basketball court.
Because there was a donation ceremony to the red cross society of China for the earthquake victims.
And the China CCTV crew actually came and reported the news.
Many of us appear on the television. Haha.
In the later part of the day, we had a visitation to local families. (:
We went to a private condominium, and it was so great alright.
The food is delectable, and we have a comfort stay at their house.
They treated us like a family, and it was indeed very heartwarming.
During gifts exchange, everyone of us got an Olympic towel. :D
When we are leaving, on the journey back to the hostel.
We passed by a hotel designed by Singapore architecture.
And there was 24 hours of security enforcement. They stand in a straight row.
That was so cool lah. (:
Tight Security Enforcement.

Day 7, Saturday, 31st May 2008.
Woke up very early in the morning because we're suppose to travel to Anshun City.
Had visited the world's famous Huangguoshu Waterfall.
It composes of more than ten ground and underground waterfalls.
And also visited the enchanting Tianxing Park and the Aquatic Stone Forest.
There was stepping stones which had 365 days stamped on them.
And once you step on your birthday, you can make a wish. :D
Bought a handbag for my mum there too!
Thanks Rebecca and others for helping me to bargain for a good price. Hahaha.
Because we were in Anshun and not Guiyang.
We had a 2 day 1 night stay in a Hotel. ( Not a very good one, either )
There was a blackout out of a sudden.
And heard from others that area usually have blackout because the electricity supply is from Anshun City.
Fortunately, Mdm Admrit's torchlight was strong beam and she kept shining on the top floors.
When girl's was screaming their lungs out.
They just felt helpless at that moment because they didn't have any torchlight with them.
Some of them was showering in the bathroom and in between there was a blackout -.-
Manage to light up candles and called everyone to come down for a mini party when the electricity supply resumes.

Day 8, Sunday, 1 June 2008.
Went to visit Dragon's Palace Cave, a well - known mystic Karst water cave with beautiful views.
Really miss everything there, especially the Dragon Palace Cave. The scenery is awesome.
After lunch, we went to watch cultural performances performed by the local tribes.
Many males are not around because they had went for farming.
And we had the chance to play some traditional games as well as the
'bamboo dance'?
Lol, sorry I really didn't know what is the name of it.
You can refer to the pictures below anyway, and you should know what I mean. (:
We also went to the workshop for ethnic batik arts and crafts in Anshun.
At the same time, we bought specialities and souveniers there. (:
After dinner, transfer back to Guiyang and rest and sleep.
The things which we spotted :
ON THE WAY TO DRAGON PALACE CAVE ......

Day 9, Monday, 2 June 2008.
Visited Qianling Mount on which Hongfusi, a famous Buddhism temple in South West of China is located.
Met other MiaoMiao students there too, and had a great time hanging out with them.
Since they have visited this place numerous times with their family.
Realised that I had left my lithium battery at the hostel, so I use my camera phone to capture pictures instead.
Really miss those times with them, their jokes and laughters. (:
And after that, we went to Guiyang City for shopping again!
Bought some jellys for buddies in the gifts exchange tonight for the farewell party too.
At the same time, sharing fries with Cami and Jeanne for dinner. Haha.
After dinner, there was a farewell party hosted by MiaoMiao Secondary School.
It may be the last time when we will be able to meet again.
Next year, we will be the graduating classes and our buddies, they will be having their major exams.
Hope to meet up with them the next time, but we promise to stay in contact with each other.
Every cry is a seperate emotions.
Harvesting in the morning.
Sunset.
LAST FAREWELL......

Day 10, Tuesday, 3 June 2008.
Last walk to MiaoMiao Secondary school, last breakfast, last day, everything's going to come to an end
TODAY.
So immediately after breakfast, we went to find all our friends and well.
I really wouldn't bare to leave them. ):
Some of them teared and hug each other.
But always remember, the memories that had left in our mind will never be forgotten.
I am glad everyone of us had a good time, and always believe that we will meet again some day, some time.
After lunch, we spend the day travelling back to Singapore.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is the process.
Working together is success.
The silence, I am alone here, the night outside, nothing is moving and I am overcome with fatique once again.
I neither know what I do, nor what I am, I don't know if I am old or young,
I have still maybe got several hundrend thousand years to live until I die, my past is sinking into grey abyss
