I think skype is a great invention, though the sound quality of the conference call sucks. But well its free, so cant expect too much from it right? hahas.

The visit to Waseda Shibuya Senior High School marks the start of my happening recess week.

Unfortunately, I was quite late for the meeting and so I had to endure my share of suaning from some people, esp someone by the name of Tan Wei Xin. Took a bus from BB interchange down to the school at West Coast. Surprisingly, the ride didnt take too long.


wei xin and hui xin posing infront of the school sign.


Fountain in the school



The japanese are really meticulous in their work. They took hell alot of photos for their school's food trail and school events etc. Somemore they took the effort to decorate all those photos. Really have to hand it to them.


Wei xin looking at the food photos with great concentration.


Stamps on our hands after our visit to Mouseland. The class really knows how to capture people's attention. Imagine seeing 2 guys wearing horse masks, walking around the school carrying the sign "mouseland". You'll be amused!


Interior of the school. Thought that it was quite hot inside the school coz the interior was sheltered. No wonder they have air conditioning inside all the classrooms. Somemore their uniform's all long sleeved. Doesnt seem very appropriate for Singapore's climate. Hahas.



We were trying to make some jelly like substance from some chemicals. Some very young boys joined us at the same table and they kept using the chemical bottle till we almost had no chance of using it -_-




Photos of the chem lab.



Posing with our end product (:



Paper art? Hung on 1 of the classes. Its obvious that Wei Xin loves them.


Requested to take a shot with 1 of the students from the haunted hospital. What is Hui Xin looking at? :S Too bad I didnt manage to enter the haunted hospital coz of the endless crowds. Very often the people have to tell us that the place is closed temporarily coz I think they didnt want us to wait there for a looong time for nothing.


Done up menu for all or 1 of their cafes? Took a picture of it coz I found it very nicely done.


Nearing the end of our trip, we decided to go for a school tour. Initially I thought that the tour would be led by the ang moh teachers but as it turned out, it was the Japanese students who brought us around the school. There was also another student who was supposedly not part of the tour guide gang, but he still followed us around. Guess he was trying to garner votes and visits to his class's event. The ironic thing was that he spoke better English than the tour guides. Anyway the guides are only 15 and they looked really mature for their age! Much as we had some difficulties communicating to one another, they were still very friendly and sporty throughout the whole tour.

this roughly sums up some of the fun-er stuff i have been in for the past few weeks. the small bday surprises, japanese fair, and the farewells for shara, xiao qian and xue ping.

sometimes i wonder whether i am just plain stupid or whether i have never really set my heart and mind to get that good grade before.

是时候改掉坏习惯,重新开始。

As I step into university, I just felt that the value/importance of teacher's day has been diminishing by the year. guess its coz the current education system doesnt really support that frequent interaction betw tchr and student. we change tchrs every sem, so I guess most/all my tchrs wont remember me when the next sem comes? hahas.
