Day 10
Thursday, March 12, 2009


I peeped at the window this morning just to find puddles of water on the ground. 
If it was in Singapore, I would be jumping around with happiness.
But here, it means that it would be more than just coldness;
My teeth would chatter and my body would shiver especially when the wind blows.
It just gives me the chilling feeling. 
The temperature for today was 8 degrees.
Hahahaha. (:


Opposite our hostel is actually a driving school.
You wouldn't get to see this anywhere in Singapore whereby there is a driving school within the campus itself.
In this way, it is really convenient for the students to have their own driving license as they need not travel much of a distance for the lessons and practicals.
What I notice about the driving school is that the circuit can be considered relatively easy;
Unlike those in Singapore.
If only I could be enrolled into their driving school, it would be so much fun!
Hahahaha. (:


We will be going to the 3 Gorges tomorrow until Sunday. (:
Mr Wong explained to us the purpose of the dams and the consequences of building them.
It was mainly for flood control and also for generating power.
However, it caused unhappiness to the people who made a living around the area.
Therefore, there was a actually a controversy about the benefits of the dams.


The dams are situated at Yangtze River.
It stands at 150m and stretches for 2km.
I would really love to see how huge the dams actually are. (:

As usual, today's history lesson was informative.
Ms Sally gave us a reading material with all the information about all the emperors.
Today's lesson reminded me of what Mr Wong mentioned during one of the BPE lessons.

The Chopsticks Theory. 
It is easier to break one chopstick than compiling all the chopsticks together, and trying to break them.
I believe all the different dynasties has contributed one way or another to a stronger and more independent country which we see presently.
Something so strong definitely couldn't be built just by one dynasty, but by many.
It slowly builds up over the years and finally, People's Republic of China was known to the world.
Just like the Malay saying that goes, "Sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit." (:


This is what you "touch" when you want to cross the road so that it would turn green man.
A little different from Singapore in which we just touch instead of press. (:

After buying our necessities for tomorrow's excursion, we saw a group of people doing some dance along the street. Yes, along the street.
One person led the dance while the rest just follow through.
I think it is a form of exercise for them.
Well, who wouldn't want to join in the fun when it is for free?
Hahahaha. (:
