Our 4th day started off with us waking up and gathering at 10am at the lobby of our hostel. After everyone gathered, off we went to take a look at our school and classrooms which we would be studying in for the next 6 weeks! We were all pretty excited to take a good look at our studying location for the next 6 weeks.
So after walking for several minutes up a slope, we were all sweaty and tired. But we did not bother about how tired we were as we were too curious about taking a look at our classrooms. Though the conditions weren't that great, but hey, at least we have a shelter over our heads when studying. So after having a look at the school, it was free and easy for the rest of the day!
Some of us took our time to walk down the slope and took a lot of group pictures along the way down and had a lot of fun. We even saw some local delivery at work! It was pretty amazing how he carried 3 boxes behind him, with one being balanced on his neck. Pretty awesome sight there. After that, we were starting to get hungry and decided to have our lunch at a restaurant just outside our campus called "Gil Wanton". The food was extremely delicious and the dumplings were fat and juicy. YUM! The fried rice was pretty normal, and very oily as usual!
After our sumptious meal, we decided to walk around to take a look and we came across a cute dog. Its fur was completely shaved off except for the head area and it made the dog look exactly like a lion. Pretty creative and interesting and its the first time i’ve seen such hair cuts on a dog.So after that we headed back to our rooms to catch up on some blogging, and we did some laundry. As we did not have enough space to hang all our clothes, we decided to lie more strings across our room so that we can have more space to hang clothes. After that, we were all worn out from a day of walking and went to bed. So here are the pictures! Enjoy! Feel free to leave comments at the end of post :)

Time to tie more strings to hang more laundry!
So thats all for day 4! Time for Reflections.
Reflections!
From today, after seeing the charcoals supplied to the campus canteen, it really made me realise how fortunate Singapore and i am. Whereby we get proper stoves and easy fire access to cook out food without waiting for such a long time for charcoals to heat up and burn before cooking. We are so priveledged as we have better technology and cooking gadgets back in Singapore compared to the locals here. So i should really realise how priveledged i am and learn to appreciate and be happy about it.
Also, the delivery man who carried the box and balanced it on his neck really amazed me. It was such a spectacular sight, one that we would never or rarely encounter in Singapore. Also, looking at the "lion dog", it shows how creative China locals can be actually and that it really made me stop having the impression
that the locals copy a lot of products and sell it as fakes.
Also, after looking at their school, i finally realise how fortunate how lucky i am to be in Ngee Ann whereby we get good tables and chairs and good technologies such as aircons and not just fans. So basically for today i've learnt how to be more appreciative and know how priveledged i am actually.
So thats all for day 4! Hope this post was interesting to you readers :)
