DAY 3-First APPG class and IS!!

*Eyelids're getting heavier~~*
After a long day of classes and fun, I'm back to my blogging:)
Trying hard to adapt to the weather and I'm still freezing this morning.Tried their 煎饼果子(Was too hungry and forgot to take photo of it!!D:)IT's something like our Singapore style Thosai wrapped with you tiao and some sauces...still can't take the saltiness and was kind of complaining..Realise how much kids like us from Singapore got so pampered and didn't know how to appreciate what was given to us.However, the hunger overpowered my fussiness and I finish it:)The very first APPG lesson with Mr Chua's pretty interesting:)Seeing how we helped one another and got so focus while doing the lab:)*not bad~*
Classes ended at around 11.30AM and we went back to the hotel before heading back to school for lunch:)Mr Chua had slight headache and wasn't feeling well:(Hope he will be feeling better tomorrow after a goodnight rest:)Learnt the importance for us to look out and take care for one another when we're overseas and the kind of sefllessness seen within the group is really something that I'd put a thumbs up on:)
Was kind of rushing to our IS class and did not have enough time to wait for some of the food to be served. Because of that, Jonathan had to tell the waitress to cancel the order but we'll still pay for all the food ordered.Felt really bad for we've somehow causes some inconvenience and it's us to be blame in some way.Could have estimated the time and order the food earlier.Lesson learnt:Time management.Here in China, it's unlike Singapore and Time is a major factor.In such situation happened during the lunch, our table could have shared the food and make sure everyone had a proper lunch before we proceed to the class.Sighs, our hunger can really overpower anything else.WE SHOULD LEARN TO BE MORE CONSIDERATE AND UNDERSTANDING!
As for the IS class, i find it really interesting to learn more about Tianjin and China's culture and delicacy as that's what we want to find out on this OIP trip too!Felt pretty embarrassed when we went dumbfounded when she asked about the culture in Singapore.Thinking about it, it's a sad thing to know that Singapore's chinese has lost quite some bit of our traditional culture practices as compared to the other races. Like how Aliff and Thir shared about their Malay culture and i could tell that Ms Wang find it pretty interesting:)
Went around and explore the nearby places around our hotel and there's a nightmarket!!OMG!Shopping spree for the girls yeahh!!Bought a blouse as a group and manage to BARGAIN!!The uncle was kind of cursing and swearing for he's earning lesser after giving us the discount=xWent on to the little alley and found all the roadside stalls selling fruits and 'BBQ sticks', we were planning to get there for dinner tomorrow:)Bought 1kg of strawberries for just $3 RMB!*JAW-Dropped*..took a photo with the stall owner and he thought we were from Korea..LOL!Expenditure these few days on food is considered SUPER CHEAP.A table of FEAST for 10+ of us only cost around $160 RMB which is only $30+ SING DOLLAR!!Come across a weighing machine in the pharmacy and out of curiosity, we went to check out our weight..Oh gosh..nearly FAINTED.HAHAHA!*inside joke*
our lunch only cost us $50+ RMB!!
Simply love the warm sun during the noon!!:D
Here goes out time table!!:D
Everyone seriously working on their APPG lab:)

P.S Went and check out the wash room in school and frankly speaking, i was holding my breath inside.If my bladder wasn't 'bursting'...i'd hold it and rush back to the hotel.I miss Singapore's public toilet:(
