Day 17 *Interaction with Local Students*

Yuhoo! Today was another new day in Tianjin! We reached the classroom at 8.25am, but both Mr. Tan and Mr. Chua were not there, so we went to buy our breakfast. In the end, we were the latest group to go for class. >.<


We had finish APPG TOPIC 7 , and Mr. Chua discussed the APPG theory test 1 answers. I can’t describe my feeling just now, but I am just worried about the outcome. After the discussion, Mr. Chua asked us to get ready for the lab trial test. The trial test took around 1 hour and 10 minutes. Thank god! I think I know how to do. (: After trial test, LUNCH TIME! Because of the weather, I didn’t go out to have my lunch, it was so cold! ):

When 1pm reached, everyone started to arrange the tables and chairs because the next moment we will be interacting with the local students. Aijing and I went for “rehearsal” for our dance performance at upstairs of our class room. That was the very first time I dance outside the classroom in this freaking COLD weather. We decided to dance “KISS & TELL” instead of “SOMEBODY TO LOVE”. 1.30pm reached, everyone is inside the classroom including the local students and some of the buddies. Mr. Tan asked us to introduce ourselves to the local students. Our introduction was a bit boring because all of us just told them our name and nothing much. Next, local students introduce themselves to us. Their introduction was interesting. Almost everyone of them introduce their hometown, for example Shan dong, Guang xi and Fu jian. They even told us about the specialties of their hometown. They were very proud of their own city and country. I think this is the thing that I should learn from them. Besides, I think we should take the initiative to talk more to them, introduce our own country to them. I remember one of them mentioned this Chinese idiom, “天涯若比邻，海内存知己” which means good friends are everywhere. Regardless which country are you from, everyone could be your friends.

After introduction and laughs, Mr. Tan started the show with 2 magic. The whole class laughed because of his fantastic magic and his humor. It was very entertaining and attracting. I bet that all the local students were impressed by Mr. Tan’s magic. After the magic show, here come our presenters to tell the local students about Singapore. The presenters were Felicia, YiWen, Kistabel, Dean, Thir and Jiawei. They talked about Singapore’s background, Singapore food, races in Singapore and etc. Although their presentation was based on the Singapore, but that gave me a feeling of home. They did an awesome job. The local students looked very interested towards Singapore, and I think they had better understanding toward Singapore now. After the presentation, dance time. Aijing and I danced a little bit of KISS & TELL that we practiced yesterday. It was not perfect, but hoped that the local students were entertained by us. (: The last part of the show, Mr. Tan showed us more magic. Mr. Tan really talented in performing magic, that reminds me the time when we having ENPS, Mr. Tan always show us magic after class. Everyone of us was impressed by Mr. Tan’s magic, especially “The Prophecy”. Mr. Tan ended the day with his prophecy. After that we used the free time to interact with the local students. We chatted about our country, we took pictures, and we exchanged our phone numbers.

After that we went back to hotel and start our APPG revision. I think we should take the initiative to talk more to the locals. Tianjin people are very friendly.
