Have our first lesson with Mr Yun. Terrified by the timetable we saw, 9am-12pm and 2pm -5pm. However the lesson was shortened due to the function in the evening. Mr Yun was good enough to dismiss us early to let us rest. It was Jia Lin’s birthday on the next day, and we decided surprised her with a birthday cake. The candle was cute. It is in number form. Had a hard time lighting the candle, maybe it is due to the wind or the quality of the candle. Had a great time, they played cream fight however I did not join in as I hate getting dirty.

In the evening we went to the function hall, it’s quite a distance from our dorm but nearer to our classrooms. Do not know whether it is their biggest hall in the school. Compare Ngee Ann’s convention centre, it looks different, as the convention centre is much bigger than the hall we went. The event started and was stunned by the costumes that the MCs are wearing. It is really grand. Evening gowns and tuxedos seldom see it in events in Singapore only in some star awards and wedding. Saw the list of activities and was happy to see Guzheng performances. However, I was quite disappointed with the performance as I hardly hear the melody from the Guzheng. The piano had completely covered the music from the guzheng. Next activity that I am interested was the performance by the Ngee Ann students. Although we had seen it before but this makes me feel like I was at home. Listening to the music that we are familiar and the students lighten up and make the whole place filled with happiness. We were like strangers at first but now we are like one big family bonding very well. We finally interact with the local student and I find them quite easy to interact with. Due to the different way in speaking, I need to be careful and change the way I am phrasing my sentence and I need to listen to them as they speak very fast. Overall, I had a great evening.
