Day 4 *Paper Cutting*

Yeah! Today is FRIDAY. It was like a FINALLY. (:


As usual, class started at 8.30pm. I don’t feel like waking up early in the morning everyday. The weather is cool and comfortable to sleep, seriously. But I know that our time in Tianjin is limited, so we have to make good use of every moment here!

Early in the morning, pulled myself out of my bed early and went for APPG class. We had a pop quiz for APPG and kind of caught us off guard. Most of us cannot finish the whole quiz.

Anyway, after Mr. Chua gone through the quiz question one more time, I think we have better understanding about APPG already. *finger cross*

After the APPG class, we went to have our lunch and went back to the school again. We had our Chinese class just now. At first I thought it will be a very boring class, because language class, other than language, still language. What else? But the Chinese class just now was awesome! We watched a movie called 杜拉拉- 升职记 (Go Lala! Go!). It was a movie about a normal girl in China, who is busying with finding jobs, attends interview and her working life. I think I learnt something from the movie. The scene in the movies happened at anywhere in this world, not only china. We must think carefully what we are going to do before making decision. Once decided, we must persevere. I think I must learn from the girl in the movie. Despite of all the obstacles met during her journey to promotion, she carries a positive attitude, trying her best to give her boss the best outcome. The fun part was that we had a group discussion; we explained the questions to Alif and Thir so that they can also take part in the answering session.

I think I have learnt quite a number of things throughout the lesson, including the video that we watched in the afternoon. I was impressed by what he said, and I felt that what he said was really helpful and encouraging.

“I Have A Dream”.

If one’s trying hard, not giving up easily, dreams will come true one day.

After the Chinese language class, Master Wang (王修彦) and his students showed us their talents in doing 中国明间工艺. One of his students showed us his talent by writing out Mr. Tan and Mr. Chua’s Chinese name. After that, we did some paper cutting. It is one of the 中国明间工艺.

Master Wang taught us how to fold the paper and how to start the first cut. He is very patient towards us. I told him that I did not catch the thing, and I asked him weather can show me one more time. He taught me slowly and asked me to see carefully then try to do it slowly. In the end all of us cut a flower (:I wanted to say a BIG BIG thanks to master wang and his students, so as everyone because normally I can only see this talent on TV.

And today, I did it together with you guys!! ^^

After dinner, we went back to school for APPG tutorial class. The school was better than what I thought. There were still many people, the hawkers were selling fruits and the shops were all opened. This is quite different from singapore’s school. The local students were still studying in the classroom, some of them studied alone in class. I felt that the school was dark at night, the weather was so cold yet the locals are willing to stay in the classroom and study, do revision. I think this should be the attitude that we should learnt from them. Do you think that a Singaporean will stay at school alone and study until late night?

After the class, I went back to hotel and start APPG again. I hope I can understand it better ASAP. Anyway, tomorrow is SATURDAY!! Let’s go and have fun together!!

Take care people!
