Participants' Journal Entries (7th June, Thursday)

I visited ‘Liang Yuan’ (the old house of a family with the surname ‘Liang’ in the old days ) and ‘Zu Miao’ (Ancestral Temple) today. It was fun! I learnt about the Chinese culture and how the Chinese lived in the past.

Today, we still had lessons in the morning. In the afternoon, we had a half-day tour. From the tour, I discovered that Huang Feihong, the hero of Foshan, had four wives.

My class enjoyed the music lesson today. The music lesson is conducted in Chinese. We listened to ‘ting mama de hua’ by Jay Chou. He is my idol.

I learnt more about ‘Huang Feihong’ at the Ancestral Temple during the tour. He had four wives and he died of illness.

Today, we went on a tour again. It was really fun! I found out that all tour guides are very friendly and nice. When I asked my tour guide to lend me her flag, she lent it to me without hesitation. Wow! So I played with the flag and pretended to lead the tour group.

I went to the temple today. I did not manage to find the chewing gums or bubble gums that I wanted so I bought a snack. There were beggars outside the temple. I thought beggars should be walking slowly, unlike energetic children. I did not give them any money. I don’t think they need it.

I wanted to buy the mouthwatering ‘dragonbeard sweet’ but it was out of stock. So unlucky! My family will surely be disappointed as they won’t get to taste it. L

My teacher, Mdm Jin, conducted a psychology lesson for us today. We played ‘a mute and a blind man’ game. I was the blind man and my buddy was the mute. We were the guinea pigs and we needed to crawl under the tables and walk on chairs. In the end, I bumped into many things. Many people laughed including myself. I have learnt that we should care for the blind.

We watched a movie ‘Hua Mu Lan’ tonight. It was funny but a little scary. After the movie appreciation, I went to the canteen for supper. It was delicious and nice.

Over here, the English lesson is some times conducted in Chinese. It is a mixture of English and Chinese. It is different from our English class in Singapore.
