The 4th day!

That day we were invited to Nankai High School. This is Seng Kang Secondary School students at their best.

Thanks to one of our teachers, we have the privelledge to visit one of China's most pretigious schools.

The school principal gave us a brief history of the school he showed us around the school. The school consist of two buidings and each of them dwarfed our whole school itself. The school is proud to housed Zhou Enlai and there was even a gallery that proudly presented his story.

Soon after we went for the school pledge. The students were effective at organisng themselves very quickly. They wore blue and white jackets. We had to introduced ourselves before we head to the next session.

We next went for the talk on Tang poems. The teacher was talking about ancient china poems but because this is not our field, we had difficulty keeping up and tend to get distracted easily. But to be polite, it was best to be as attentive as possible.

Then we mixed around with the Nankai students. The guys played basketball but I am not too sure about the girls. They were most probaly resting and chatting among themselves. The Nankai students were larger than us and we would be unable to so we played mixed teams instead.

After that we had lunch.

And then we returned for another talk about the four great inventions of ancient china: paper, printing, compass and firecrackers. Other than talking, the lecturer showed us parts of a documentry as a treat. Overall it was an interesting talk.

Then it was the presentation. Before the trip, we were supposed to prepare a project that can helped introduded ourselves to the Nankai students. For our group was the Singapore National day. We just simply read the info in our powerpoint. Then after it went smoothly, we sat down and we were expected to socialised around with Nankai students.(Note: each of us were sitting in between two nankai students.)

Nankai students seemed to have busy schedue as they went school early and come back home late. No wonder they said china people admired the singapore students

Then after a farewell, we went to dinner at the same restaurant(we went there at lunchtime). The teacher was asking that day was someone's birthday and only then I remembered it was mine. Unknown to me I was about to received a birthday BASH.

In the hotel room everyone was taking turns and to crush their victims to the bone. That hurted a lot.

What a day! The best birthday I ever had!
