I learnt Chinese brush painting today. It is not easy. The challenge is to control the flow of ink and colours at the tip of the brush. My teacher taught me how to draw fish and panda. I enjoyed the lesson very much and I will be bringing my ‘masterpiece’ back to Singapore to show my family and friends..

I look forward to today’s English lessons. I want to have a taste of it. The class is not bad. The Chinese standard here is very high. I can hardly keep up with it. Still, I will try my best.

Today, we had PE lesson. We had to run 50 metres within 10 seconds. Guess what? My record is 8.9 seconds. We also played badminton with the students here. Guangzhi can play badminton very well. Tomorrow will be the home stay! I cannot wait anymore.

Oh, my god! There are ‘millions and millions’ of mosquitoes in our room. Look! There is one flying… I really cannot stand the mosquitoes flying around. Today, I watched my friends playing badminton with the Chinese students. Wow! The Chinese students are all so fantastic. They played like the professionals.

It was such a tiring day. We went to visit schools today. The buildings are awesome and they are very, very BIG! During dinner, Farkhanda and I learnt to eat with disposable chopsticks. Farkharda was so funny because she only used a chopstick to bring the food to her mouth. We could not help laughing.

Today, we had lessons on Music, Chinese and English. I enjoyed the Music lesson. We played a song and danced to the beat. The English lesson was interesting too. Hmmm…as for Chinese… erm… I had problems understanding it so I kind of slept there. Oophs! I know this is not right. I promise to be 100% attentive from now onwards and get the best out of the lessons.

Today, I had a tour around the school. It was fascinating. I took lots of photographs. The students here are good readers and they have good memory. The Mathematics problem solving methods are different from ours. I hope the days that follow will be fun.

When I was at the airport today with my beloved family, I almost cried. My eyes were dreadfully red when I checked in. I almost lost my watch on the plane while I was doing ‘big business’. Well, doing ‘big business’ on the plane was really uncomfortable.

This is the first time I took the aeroplane. It was unbelievable that I was actually traveling to a distant country without my parents. It was fun sitting with Adeline and Zhi Yong on the plane. The taking off and landing of the plane made my head spin. I miss my dog, Spottie, mother and family. I almost cried.

Home stay...by Miss Ng
Today the 26 pupils finally were fetched to their buddies' house. i can see the excitement on their faces. Three of us met some buddies' parents, and we are glad that all of them are very friendly and happy about the home stay school arranged for them. i believe that they are many interesting programms awaiting our 26 pupils.
Mr.Ho, Miss Hing and me myself went through all pupils learning log (journal) last night. Most of them reflected that they are getting used to the environment here. they have also learnt many new things through the classroom learning. We are posting some of our pupils journal entries on the blog, please spend some time reading through the entries to understand how our pupils are doing, are feeling and are learning.
Parents, please do not worry about them. they are coping well, we are sure that they are going to have a fruitful trip in Shimen.
