Day 24 - Lessons once again!

Day 24 was pretty simple! We did not have any activities except for classes. But it was good, as everyone was tired from day 23 and we needed some rest. We started classes a little later than usual at about 10am, so we got to sleep in a bit. But since i'm such a pig, it was not enough for me, but better than nothing! :P hahahaha. After class, it was about 5. As it was too early for dinner, we went back to our hostels first to play counterstrike for a bit before heading out for dinner. We ate at the fishball restaurant again as it was nice! This time we ordered other different side dishes.

After dinner, there was a celebration going on in the school to commemorate China's national day which falls on 1st October. They were pretty hyped about it and there was a huge crowd watching the celebration and performance by the students. Below are some pictures! Not much pictures taken today, so only 3 pictures are up! Captions above pictures once again.

The dish i liked more than the other dishes.
Tomato+egg! Simple yet tummy!

The school at night. Nice lightings.
Giant crowd gathered to watch the performanceThis was the closest to the stage we could go as the place was totally packed with human beings :P
As we couldn't really get a nice view, we headed back to our hostels after awhile and started thinking of how we were going to do assignment 2. After that we headed to bed! Thats all for today :)

REFLECTIONS FOR THE DAY!
We ourselves must stand up for Singapore. The locals were so patriotic to their country that they even volunteered to take part in performing at the celebration. It really taught me that everyone should play their part for their nation and that we should be proud of Singapore even though it is a tiny red dot on the map. All the national anthems we sing, and pledge we take in secondary school was for a reason. But yet some people hate it and find it troublesome and redundant.
So after today, i'm much more appreciative of Singapore as well as the leaders who took Singapore to where it is now, and i am proud of Singapore and proud to be a Singaporean! :D
