Title : Reflection - Day Three (20.11.10) Day 3 (20.11.2010)
Individual reflection for home visiting Chuhui:   Yeeteng and I went to our buddy’s house for home visiting today. We had a opportunity to try to make dumplings together at her house with two of her buddy’s friend. We then stroll around outside to view the surroundings of her house. If you have a chance to go to anning, then you should visit their park. It has a very nice view of a pool and the surroundings. The place was very attractive and the park is very different from the park in Singapore. If there is a chance, I would definitely go again. Amanda: Today was a day which I am looking forward very much – home visiting. We reach anning middle school at around 9.15am. we were told to pair up together ourselves. However, it must be a girl and a boy. I decided to pair up with shawn, after all , we were assigned to a boy, named YiLin. He was the emcee for yesterday’s performance, he brought us to meet his dad. His dad told us that he will be bringing us to a village’s house which is not far from school. When we arrived, we realise that we were joining carissa and wen zhao. We had a unexpected and wonderful experience there. There were many ancient architecture. I felt that I had went into a movie scene. The buildings there were so artistic. We will not be able to see such buildings in Singapore. Over there, we learned how to play Chinese chess, gu zheng and what are the different types of agriculture for. We had our lunch at the village. The vegetables are picked from their own farm. We had a wonderful time there and around the afternoon, we went to Yilin’s house. His house was just near the school. After the home visit, we went to Yunnan’s cultural village. There were various tribes people from Yunnan. It was an educational and special experience for us today. Xiu Ping: Wow what a beautiful sky… We are on the way to anning, to find our partner in order to conduct the home visit. It is a wonderful experience of making dumpling. Have you been to the Buddhist temple and went to their toilet? I was shock for what I have seen. THERE WERE NO DOORS IN EVERY CUBICAL. After that, we went to the villages and I saw those animals and plants. I felt that they were very hardy as the weather was so cold and yet they can still survive. Vishva: It was a cold breezy day. We filled up our stomach with sumptuous breakfast in the morning about 6.30am. After our breakfast, we aboard the bus on time. Within 40 minutes, we reached AnNing Middle School. At first, I thought that my buddy does not understand English but she manage to communicate with me. Then, we went to our buddy’s house and she introduces me to her mum. A few minutes later, we went outdoors with them. I was really joyful to where we are heading to. Later on, my buddy’s friends arrived. They were four of us including my buddy. My buddy introduced me to her friends. Her friends were really friendly as they treated us as their new members in their friendship bond. Those girls were an example for others, how we should respect each other. Also, they were persistent to communicate in English. i also tried to communicate with them in Chinese. After a long trail, we went for some shopping and stroll along a park. The park was very clean just like Singapore. Then they brought us to a garden that is connected to the park. We had lots of fun at the garden. We went around the garden to took photos we also fed the fishes in the pond then we proceed back to my buddy’s house. We had a delightful lunch. When it is almost the time to leave, we present our gifts to our buddy. We also thanked my buddy’s friends. Lastly, we received our gifts from our buddy. We thanked her profusely. Nabihan:  Today, we had an important event that we had to do. We had home visit with our buddies. My buddy is called Yan Yi Tong. So basically I would ask a few questions about him and his family. It was difficult for me to communicate with him because I could not speak Chinese and he can’t speak English. Luckily, I was not alone. I was paired up with Saqinah. The best thing is that when they brought us to Kunming’s Favourite Lake Park. It was so beautiful and attractive. It’s like 5 times bigger than Bedok Reservoir Park. It was about 40km. It takes us 2 hours to walk the whole park. Then, we went to eat lunch. After lunch, we spent our time playing sports like badminton with our buddies. It was a great experience. Group reflection  After the wonderful experience, we headed towards the yunnan cultural village. We loved the place very much. The place was very attractive. We took many photos on the sceneries there. We was jubilant about the place that we visited. We hope that we could visit this place again. Labels: Reflection - Day Three |
