23^rd & 24^th March 2010

It’s a rainy and windy day. We have our IS lesson in the morning. It was my first time holding an umbrella walking to school. Back in Ngee Ann, there are shelters everywhere; however there isn’t any shelter for the students to walk to their respective blocks. We must feel fortunate to have a school that had everything plan for us. After the IS lesson, the wind became stronger. Many people struggle to open their umbrella. I manage to open the umbrella. Unfortunately, it broke when I step out of the building. This proves that the wind is indeed strong. This is something that we cannot experience back in Singapore.

Next we went to the teacher’s dorm to revise for our test which is on the next day. It’s our first time taking exam out of school and I’m not used to it. Firstly our dorm does not have a proper table for us to study as it only has one table in the room and it is filled with tidbits. So we had to study on the bed. Secondly, I went to their library, I had a hard time finding a seat as most of the tables are filled with books and I do not whether there are people taking up the place and I do not want to create unnecessary commotion here. Lastly, the weather. The weather here is weird. It’s hot today and cold the other day, and this make people get sick easily and also it makes people feels tire easily. It is hard for me to focus on my work.

On the exam day, wore more cloths to the exam as I am afraid that the room will be cold and I could not concentrate on my paper. Indeed I feel the coldness while doing the paper. Manage to finish the paper but did not perform very well. Overall it is a good experience studying in China.
