We had our Test 1 for BPE today. 

Honestly, even though it was open book, I find that it was quite difficult. The answers can definitely be found in the notes but it was the explanation part that took alot of time. In the end, I didn't really manage to finish the paper. Maybe it was also because of my poor time management in completing the questions. Hahaha.

After the test, Xinhui, Weiguang, Nadiyah and I went for a shopping spree at Han Zheng Jie!

The journey there took around 45 mins. 

AND OH MY, the bus was packed with so many people that everyone practically squeeze through to move around. This isn't something we usually experience in Singapore whereby people may sometimes be inconsiderate as they do not want to move in or even pretend not to know that they should move in to allow more people to board the bus. They are just comfortable standing at their places and remain standing there  while ignoring the situation. However, over here, the Chinese REALLY squeeze as much as they can, only that they don't really say "Excuse Me" or "Sorry" when they are moving around. 

We didn't alight at Han Zheng Jia but it was just around the area. When we kept walking, we were wondering why there are so many shoes shop and not a single clothes shop at all. Well, we got to know that actually that place is called The Shoe City. That explains the reason why. Hahaha. Silly us.

There was actually a fire breakout at the area. It was my first time seeing such things. Smoke filled the air and it was making us hard to breathe, so we went away from the area quickly.

There were many fire engines stationed at the area. I think the firemen were rescueing people who were trapped in the building. By the time we were there, there wasn't any fire except for the black smoke.

Tons and tons of rubbish were piled up. I realise that in China, they don't usually use trash bags to collect the rubbish in the rubbish bin although in the picture you can see a whole pile of them. I think most probably it is because trash bags are normally non-biodegradable. If they were to use them all over in China (and China being the 4th largest country in the world), it will actually harm the environment pretty badly.

Housing estates along the street.

We met a helpful man today. His name is Mr Chen. (:

After buying some stuffs from his shop, he actually offered his help to show us the way to Wal-Mart, which was a 10 minutes distance walk. Initially, we wanted to take a taxi because we didn't know how to get there. Well, it was really our luck to have met someone 

like him who was willing to show us the way. (:

I believe that if we are willing to extend our hands to help someone today, someone will eventually help us when we are in need of one. So, I guess maybe that is what the Chinese believe as well. (:

They don't have B1 or B2 in their lifts but a -1 instead.

Hahaha.

Shopping made us happy. (:
