Day 9 of embracing china

Lessons starts at 1pm today as the morning class projector's is spoilt thus class is cancelled! So i get to enjoy the bliss of sleeeping in untill 10am. Mengzhen, Meiyun and Clive went for an early run at 8.30. Those healthy people! And so, we went to have our brunch later on. I'm proud to say that, I ATE THE SAME FOOD FOR THREE DAYS ALREADY. haha. AND, AND, COULDN'T FINISH THE FOOD AGAIN! Well, i've no choice. The rest of the food in the canteen wasn't to my liking at all. Either they are spicy(which i can't take) or they have too much veggie(Which i don't like) or they are too oily(now, who wants extra fats right?). Haha, actually, i think, im just a picky eater =p.





And so, after brunch we went to have Xiaoling laoshi's class. Today was her teaching history of china. We learnt about the how the name china(Chongguo) was derived from. The accomplishments of China. Mainly the great canal and the great wall of China. The four great inventions from China. We were told to guess what are they and the person who got it right gets to receive something from her. Cool, ain't it? Anyways, they are the The compass, gunpowder, paper and printing. Fun fact about gunpowder: it was said that in ancient times, gunpowder was created by accident because some Taoist alchemist wanted to attain immortality and then later on the people used it to invent firecrackers and fireworks and then the americans went on to create weapons out of it.

After class was dinner. Mr wong introduced us to this restaurant near the macdonals. It was good! The taste wasn't so extreme and the best was that it's cheap!
