6th Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
Time really flies...Today is the last day to shop...and the day which i felt SICK!!!so unfortunate!!
Before we went shopping which is suppose to be in the night..We proceed to ShangHai History Museum for tour..actually..you know..we are students so we are not quite interested in history MUSEUM..and because i was sick..running fever..do not have the strength to walk..so we sat down on a bunch to rest( by the way..i still have strength to take photo..haha)so next we proceed to HuangHe Road for lunch..and this lunch was the most wonderful lunch we had for these few days..the first time we cleared all our food..haha..
Followed by ShangHai Urban Planning Museum...
which most of us started to feel sick and weak..
lastly.. when everyone heard that we are going for shopping at NanJing Road..everyone became very energetic..however the stuffs there are not suitable for us..so we planned to buy our stuff during the second session of shopping at XuJiaHui district..before the second seesion..we had our farewell dinner with the Chinese delicates..and we thought that the Sanxin students will be coming..however..nope..not so...=( Nevermind, as long as there is shopping..everyone will be very excited..however..going shopping feeling sick is not a good idea..
In the night, Mr Ng didn't give us lights off timing..which means we can party all day long..because 6 of us( actually should be 5..amy, mabel,kahyun,yiling and sherlene )decided to party in Mabel's room..so i went to rest first ( as i was running down with fever) when yiling and sherlene were ready, they called me up and went over to Mabel's room..I didn't party that night but slept through the whole night..i know that my friends did take care of me..sherlene help to cover me with blanket..the rest tried to keep quiet as i was sleeping..really a big thank you to them..

5th Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
We went to lots of places today. Today is the day we start our..ShOPPING!!!!Firstly, we went to ChengHuang Temple. I thought that we are going there to pray, but in the end, it did not turn out as what I thought.
It was full of shops where we start our shopping . I bought lots of stuff, tried to bargain but did not succeed. When we step out of the Temple, I had a feeling that something will happen..and something did happen..but i will not say..just tell you that a bunch of foolish youngsters tried to use money to trick us..i will laugh if passerby thought the money was free and snatch and run away..who will be so stupid to throw their own money on the ground?
Next stop, was a science centre, full of animals and technology stuffs. We walked through the science centre and when we started to step into the science centre, I saw someone very familiar, then when i recall back, it was one of the tour guide! Then i began to think, since this tour guide and my tour guide are friends, I bet they are from the same class and I suppose that this tour guide didn't come here alone because it took us more than 1 hour from their school to our hotel, so she might come with her school. With this thought, whenever we walked (free-and-easy), i looked very closely at every students, hoping to find my tour guide. When I saw more and more Sanxin students around, i believed that my tour guide will be around this science centre, so i started to look for her. When we walked up to the second floor, I took a look at the first floor and saw a lot of Sanxin students..When i take a quick glance at the students, i saw my tour guide immediately because i recognised her hairband (mickey mouse). She was looking down at her handphone, so i can recognise her hairband..When i told KahYun that i saw our tour guide, we decided to shout her name but she didn't hear it. However, a few seconds later, i look down again and saw her waving up at us. That makes me very happy and excited. When we know that they are coming up to find us, we waited for them at the second floor. I can see that she is eager to meet us as she ran as fast as she could just to meet us. When we see each other, the first thing we say to each other was '我好想你喔！'. Then followed by HUGS. Next, when went down together to meet her friends, more buddies and tour guides came over. Then we had a small photo-taking session.
At that moment, i saw my buddy!.. Because she told us before that she was older than our tour guide(which was only primary 6). From what I heard, the Sanxin students who came was only primary 6 & 7, so I was of course glad to see my buddy and tour guide there! However, I still feel that someone is missing. 晨剑 didn't follow. He was the one who always talked a lot..actually all of them talked a lot..Because of their early arrival..so they have to leave earlier. We bid goodbye and hug them for the last last time. I hate to see them go!!=( That's all fated..
Next we took the MRT to Pudong Super Brand Mall for SHOPPING and dinner..and what was our dinner? MacDonald!!( which i don't eat..haha)
And we went sight-seeing at the Oriental Pearl Tower.
4th Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
Today...is not a very nice day =(Let me just say those fun experiences first..
Morning was a bit rush..because everybody was packing their luggage and the lift was packed with human and luaggage..so there was some "traffic" jams. After breakfast, we proceed to Sanxin school for water-propelled rockets targeting competition.
This competition was an exciting one..Sanxin VS Tampines..In the end, most of the winners of course came from Sanxin..BUT Tampines DID get some achievements..two girl winners..haha..girls rule!!haha..Now..the unbearable experience..was to leave our buddies!!!!!=(we had a photo-taking session with the Sanxin buddies..after this..we didn't even had a chance to say goodbye to them..and they walked off..because we have to stay for another photo-taking session..so the students move off first..so sad..Never mind! I've got their MSN..haha
Next..we went to LuZhou Park which was huge..you can't possible walked finish the park in a day.
Luckily my tour guide followed us to the park. At least at least..we still have a Sanxin student with us. I feel that I'm very talkative on this day..perhaps is because I knew that we are leaving the Sanxin students and I will miss them..so I try to chat with my tour guide..All the way through the park.. I have been walking beside her, chat with her as much as i could. Then we visit the Aerospace exhibition. It was a huge ship with airplanes..tanks..etc IN it. After this tour around the park, we have to leave the Sanxin students. We went up the bus, most of us( perhaps all of us..the girls)can't bear to leave them..before the bus leaves, we say goodbye to them..it was fine to us..but once the bus started to leave..we scream and shout goodbye to them..OH NO..I hate this..whenever i had to say goodbye..because i WILL cry. But before they leave, I gave them our Singapore $2 note(the new one)3 of them - yuting, shu rong and chen jian.
Last event of the day, dinner again..
but this dinner is different..we had STEAMBOAT!!
and it was an 'UNIQUE" steamboat..y did i say 'unique'? because Mr Ng, Mr Yeo and Mr Goh was SOOOO high that day. What they did to us, which made us laugh and laugh..was gosh!! As you know, they seldom trick us in school..so i thought they can be trusted..they came to our table ( sherlene, mabel, me and kah yun)looking very serious..then Mr Yeo told us that putting WATERMELON ( which is our last dish, and was served to us already) into steamboat was one of the Chinese culture here..Kah yun and I was wondering if that was true..then Mr Goh placed the plate of watermelon in front of us..in the end..we were convinced by them..so kahyun and I took a piece each..soak it into the steamboat.. and ate..is nothing actually..just taste like watermelon? hot watermelon..haha..BUT the soup taste weird..lucky i drank the soup already..haha=)

3rd Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
The 3rd day..is study time!!! how come i don't feel bored sitting in their classroom? i like to see them studying..from the back of their classroom..i can see clearly how they study..it was 'OH MY GOD!!' they were so attentive in class and they read their textbook as a class..so...so united..
and they ask and answer questions like nobody's business (erm..maybe is should say..they have lots of questions to ask..) ..they are not afraid that they might give the wrong answer. Alright, end of lesson.. Next station, pet-rocket making lesson. How was it? Of course it was fun!! together with our buddies. However, the 1st session of the lesson, we weren't sitting together WITH our buddies ( Tampines one corner, Sanxin another corner..haha). But i still made new friends..you know..i'm very 'sociable' =). They asked lots of questions about Singapore..i still remember the 1st question that i asked them was " Are you guys from the same class?" because i saw them talking to one another like they are good friends..but they answer me back " Nope, we are from different levels". I think they are more sociable then me..haha. During our lunch time, we toured the Thames Town, which would be the most memorable places we have visited.
We sat on a tram and toured the Thames Town with the cold wind blowing against our faces.
I heard from Ms Xiao that there are so many pairs of couples taking their weddings photo in Thames Town is because the buildings look very much like London.
I first saw Thames Town.. I had a feeling that I'm living in a countryside. After the tour on the tram, we requested for another round..but the second round..we didn't take the tram..but we walk through the cool breeze of Thames Town.
Then we went back to Sanxin to continue with our pet-rocket making lesson. After all these 'hard' work doing the rockets, we went out to release our gun-powder rockets. You know...gun-powders are dangerous..so,we leave these work to the guys. The sad thing is that..my rocket didn't OPEN!!! Never mind!! Next, we went to a village for our dinner!!!!YummmYummmm...Together with our buddies and tour guide..we sat one table. I can tell you, those students are DARING..they really Love to ask things..so..whatever we want to ask..they will help us..because we are shy!!! haha..actually not so..is because we are afraid that we might say the wrong stuff, e.g we can't call the waitress '小姐'..
The most exciting event of the day...the performance night!!!
Both the schools brought up performance which we (audience..non-performers..haha) really enjoyed..our school brought up 3 performances ( 1 song, 2 acts) by different groups..boy groups did the acting
and the girls did the singing.
Sanxin also brought up wonderful performances...the audience ( we, tampines students ) also brought up 'performance' by sacrificing our legs!!
We joined in a game which we have to sit on each other lap..Sanxin students were so enthu to play..just a call for participants..WOOO..a HUGE bunch of Sanxin students raised their hands..Amy and I were thinking if we should participate too..if not Tampines Secondary will lose face ( because no one raise their hands..haha..too old for games..=)) in the end..more and more Tampines students raised hands..After the game, we went back to our seat to enjoy the rest of the performances..we were so high that day..we sway and clapped our hands when the teachers were singing ( when we got back to our hotel..Mr Ng told us that the Chinese delicates were very surprised to see such enthu students...the teachers also feel so..)
Alright, after a tired night..back to hostel!
Forgot to say something..the sky over there changes colour very fast..At around 5 plus..the sky is getting darker..not very used to it actually..haha
And every night..we will have debrief of tomorrow's activities..and we made lots of noise when we get too excited like nobody is staying there..but indeed there are people SLEEPING already..

2nd Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
The day which we are treated..for the first time..as 'VIPs'.
The places we went, there are lots of students waiting for us...taking pomp-pomps..shouting cheers "huan ying huan ying!!"..haha..they were small students but they were soooo cute!!! For me, i did feel awkward when we walk through the middle..i think the rest of them also feel so...i'm so shy!! haha..but this was just the starting of the day, when we went to our hostel. The more grand welcome is at the back, when we went to Sanxin School. There were band playing..again..the feeling came automatically..we were so shy!!! When we walk to their small field, which had already gathered some (perhaps a hundred) Sanxin students. They gave us a very heart-warming welcome..by rising from the seats and applaused. It was really really very grand..to me. After those introduction, we exchange our gifts with our buddies..by the way..mine is a girl..It was a really fun time with the students in Sanxin school and of course i will never ever forget about my..tour guide-chen yu ting!! She is a very matured girl..all her action and thoughts were very matured..doesn't fit her age of 12 at all..she looks more like a sec4 student. Next stop, we came to Square Tower Park.
There were alot of stuff to see and experience..especially when Amy and Sherlene went to put on the ‘格格’ costume and when SiYong put on the “皇上” costume..they attracted our crowd's attention..we everybody was despo to take their photos...after this, then we went to their school..to take a look..the last part..of course is the dinner!! u think that dinner should be the fullest meal right?..i also thought so..but i think that we have wasted alot of food that day ( or maybe EVERYDAY!) is not that we are too full is because many of us are not used to their food and also because i do not eat beef or lamb, which have been served almost every meal too..in the end..i didn't eat much that day..however..that did not affect my activities for that day..because the open space outside the restuarant was chilling~~woo~~haha

1st Day Of ShangHai Trip 2007 (oct-nov)
Today is the first day of the ShangHai Trip. Our flight is a night flight, so most of us felt sleepy, especially me! After taking this China Eastern Airline flight, i still prefer SIA. The airplane is quite squeezy, from what I know. The food is still acceptable, however the plane is not very stable, it has been 'rocking' all the way (perhaps not all the way...maybe i should say most of the time). But we still reach the Pudong Airport safely, together with the SpeedB company's bosses and assistant. Upon reaching their airport, we didn't walk through the gate but the doors of the plane. It is quite surprising to experience such walk, through the cold wind of ShangHai.
