I'm sure that the days we spent in China, Beijing will definately be my most memorable and beautiful memories in my secondary days. This was my very first time I went overseas with my friends. We visited many places such as the world's biggest square( The Tiananmen Square),the world's biggest palace ( The Forbiddden City) and the most famous shopping streets( Wangfujing Commercial Street) We even climbed the world's longest human-made struture--The Great Wall! It was truely amazing. The days at Beijing Gaojiayuan Middle School was wonderful. The students there were all so friendly and nice. I also got to know some of them. Their attitude towards study were very serious too. Their lessons were all taught and explained in Chinese instead of English. It was really a great experience for us and I really enjoy myself alot. My understandings towards Beijing and relationship with my friends grew as well. (:
ok, so, before i actually start this thing, why do we have to write so many reflections? like, hello, isn't a 6-day journal enough? we've been loyally penning down what we've gone through, felt, seen, heard, tasted, smelt for the entire journal, but is it enough to satisfy the teachers' needs, whims and pleas? oh no, it has got to be another reflection. and after that, the teacher goes, "right class, because' of lack of creativity and thinking skills, you all will compile a 6-day journal to beijing in one reflection, even though you've done that on every page of the journal." right, here I go, recounting my past experiences like it’s the first time.
PLAY |> my recent trip to beijing was a more than memorable experience. when i first exited the stuffy airport in beijing, it was like as if a cool breeze had swept across my face (pity not off my feet, but then i would be a laughing stock for years to come) and welcomed me to this foreign country. the sun’s weakened rays against the cool weather seemed to be our only source of natural warmth back then, but with our friends huddled together, warmth from the sun seemed so overrated (ok, that part is so extra).
FAST FORWARD >>>
gao jia yuan middle school was obviously our most favourite place to visit in the whole 6-days (ok, not true; the shopping trip was very, very fun- but hey, I’ve got to tell a lie to spice my work up sometime. but come to think about it now, I wasn’t telling much a lie either. i’m sure everyone loved their buddies, so they must like going to the school, right?). we made friends with our buddies who took care of us with much enthusiasm and hospitality, and we learnt many things about schools in beijing that differed from schools in singapore. instead of pretending to pick up a pencil one purposely drops, the students in gao jia yuan middle school were extremely eager to answer the teachers’ questions. instead of 40 rowdy pupils per class, the teachers had only need to deal with about 20 per class. instead of canteen where one can pick one’s meal of the day from, the students had to eat rice, vegetables and meat delivered in buckets, and served in recycled utensils. instead of playing basketball during P.E, the students had to do a supposedly healthy dance or run around the track. instead of a humongous hall where the school’s events take place, the students had only a small room consisting of limited foldable chairs to listen to speeches. instead of instrumental music played every morning, the students could listen to the radio and the modern pop songs being played during breaks. instead of having continuous lessons non-stop for 6 hours, the students were given miniature breaks and eye exercises in between. instead of fretting over one’s crush or girlfriend/boyfriend, the students are even more worried about their results. instead of having every lesson taught in english except for mother tongue periods, the students had every lesson taught in chinese except for english period.

i suppose that unlike us, the students in gao jia yuan middle school were fortunate. in singapore, a long story made short, a phrase to describe us students, would be:
NO EDUCATION= NO WORK= NO MONEY= NO LIFE
yet even with this phrase, we singapore students do not know how to appreciate the fortune of being able to study. we take education for granted, and some of us do not even care if they flunk a test. Now, looking at the gao jia yuan middle school students, who is to say that they do not love being able to study? they obviously appreciate the chance of being able to study and learn. yet they do not know the phrase we singaporeans have to go by. i think that this is their trait that we should learn to adapt in our lives.
FAST FORWARD >>>
going home and back to singapore was another adventure altogether. goodbye beijing friends- there is not a moment of my life and every passing day that I have not reminisced of your face and smiled.
STOP L|
finished! i hope you don’t ask us to write another crap story of our lives in beijing. i swear i’ll be meaner and more sarcastic, plus i’ll exploit what you teachers have mocked at. ok, i might as well do it now- i have learned that when you dance or sing in front of your teachers, some of them laugh at you secretly and say ‘aiyohr! xia suay ahr!’ thanks for mocking at our hard work. and for sitting there while we performed, blocking our way with your precious bodies. and for laughing at us afterwards. much appreciated.

在北京度过的日子真是难忘。不知为什么我会有想再一次去北京的感觉。虽然我在高家园中学只是度过了短短的三天，但是对于我的伙伴，我可是十分的挂念。她对我的关怀与照顾可是无微不至，让我十分的感谢和感激。让我感到有新鲜感的是他们上烹饪课的材料都是自己准备的，而且他们可以把菜切得很细。他们也很热心地教我们如何把菜切得很细。说到这里让我想起他们第一天如何接待我们，他们接待我们的方式和我们接待来宾的方法不一样，他们接待我们的方式让我感到非常的温馨。有老师和我们的伙伴拿这一张纸写着我们的名字站在门口迎接我们。这让我感到非常的温馨。他们上课的时候非常的安静，直到老师发问问题时，他们才举手抢答。拿他们那种上课的热诚和我们比让我感到自愧不如。那六天里，让我影像最深刻的不是万里长城，不是天坛，而是胡同街的路。胡同街的路凹凸不平，走路时让人感到不舒服，但是坐上了拉车，感觉是完全不一样的。行程不再是不舒服，而是刺激和好玩。到了出了名的万里长城，真是让我打开眼见。万里长城不愧是名不虚传，真的好长哦。往上爬的时候，我感到害怕于及累。我爬了一段后，就不敢往上爬了。说到旅游胜地，绝对不能少了故宫。说到故宫，故宫真的好大哦。我曾经想过以前住在皇宫的人有没有迷路过。如果我长大后有机会的话，我一定会去北京旅行...
哇!伟佳可真快手快脚,第一时间就写出了心中话。的确穿过胡同小巷是惊险万分，你还道是刺激，我差点魂儿都被勾走了呢！我和hong xu吓破了胆。幸而老命不该绝，上天要我看着你们这群小瓜！你将很快实现你的梦想的。

静仪、仪静双双写下了内心话，真高兴你们有所得。当静仪发简讯给我要我publish她写的东西时，我人远在台湾逍遥游。为了不让她失望盼望，我旅途上东觅西找，终于在晚间七点于小熊度假村找到一台电脑，我迫不及待但却需有关负责的密码所以只得回村舍放下行李先行吃晚餐，餐后折返已有小妞在用，直等到十点多才轮到我。哈，够伟大吧！只为“报答”你们的“effort”。高家园同学的学习精神是值得我们仿效的，凡事积极认真，不懒散，不延误拖拉不敷衍了事，我们也能和他们一般好。
