I will only place post of my overseas trip here or about it. So lets get started. Finally, the poly-days are here but I only have 2 weeks of it. One week will be taken up by my overseas trip to Vietnam! I will be leaving on the 21th which is a Tuesday and return 6 days later which is 27th Monday. And yes! i will be spending Christmas overseas. Please reserve the presents for me when i return. It will be a family trip but not really a holiday cos we will be helping out with the church there for tuition classes and celebrating Christmas. However, we will be free for 3 days and can enjoy ourselves. I will be bringing my Camera there so prepare a feast for the eyes. See ya guys on 27th and have a Merry and Happy Christmas! God Bless! 

China day 35 - Fri 15 Oct

Today we woke up early to pack and wash up for the long trip home. I am sure that all of us was really glad to return home despite the long waiting time and delays. When we reached Singapore both Isaac and I was held back by the immigration for key chains that resemble the shape of guns. Christina then came back in to look for us and waited till the problem is solved. Both of us were give back the key chains with a letter of approval. We then left for home quickly as we were all tired.

China day 34 - Thurs 14 Oct 2010

Waking up to the alarm sound I realized that it was the last day for us to be here. All of us was excited to be going home soon and also sad that we might not see this place again. After the last IS class we had a certificate presentation for all the students. As there was many different things that we want to do and get we split into two groups. One to do their hair and the other to shop. I manage to collect all of onepiece characters keychain and also get a poster. I also went to the sports street trying to get a jacket but there was none that I liked. We then meet up with the rest for dinner at teddy's kitchen.

China day 33 - Wed 13 Oct 2010

There was IS class in the morning and then presentation in the afternoon. We were all very worried about our presentation and kept trying to improve on our powerpoint slides. I was the 3rd person to present and this makes me very anxious. Finally, it was my turn, I presented about the social etiquette, how it is like to be a overseas student, how to do business here, China's past affecting the present and the animation industry here.

China day 32 - Tue 12 Oct 2010

I woke up late today as we slept early in the morning editing the video. We are very happy with our final work as it was all our effort. After we are done with lunch we headed for an industrial visit at the school near by. They show us some of the students work and let us experience how it is like to be a student there.

When we return we started doing our presentation for Wednesday IS. I think it is a good time for us to recall the past month and what we have learned. I hope I will not forget the time here and the lessons learnt.

China day 31 - Mon 11 Oct 2010

There is an outing to  黄鹤楼 today in the morning. When we are a distance from the place we could already see the old buildings and structures of the place. The place have a long history and was rebuild many times due to different reasons. At the place I am able to experience the culture and strong believes in luck. There was a huge bell and if was knocked 3 times would grant good luck, wealth and health.

After touring the place we return back to rush with our work as we still have some missing shots and we still have editing to do. As it was Ling Xuan's birthday we decided to surprise her by asking her to act and then appear with the cake. However, we could not have fun forever and returned to work.

China day 30 - Sun 10 Oct 2010

I woke up early today as our group project is still not done yet. However, my actors went to do their filming too so I went to make badges and ez-link card stickers. First we went to Guangu to do some shopping and I bought some onepiece merchandise from the Gachapon machine. I manage to get all of it and then I went hunting for soft toys for my friend. As it was getting late we quickly left for the badge making shop. We were on the bus when a car driving against us cut into our lane forcing the bus driver to do an emergency hand break. Thankfully we stopped in time but the bus was not able to move again. The bus driver then ask us to push the bus. A few men including me went down immediately without hesitation to do the task and within moments the bus is moving again. Finally we reached to badge shop with heavy rain accompanying us.
