After the long journey, felt tired. Had some difficulties waking up.
Had to report at the lobby by 10am. So woke up at 8, ate breakfast and off to the lobby.
We were first introduce to Mrs Wong. she gave us a map of the school to our Hotel and brief us about the school. After that we made our way to the school, then to a classroom.
Our classroom blackboard was decorated very nicely, it was a warm welcome. In the Orientation, we were also introduced to other two lecturers there. The teacher even asked me and Alif to just pretend like we know, even though we don't. I understand cause it will be difficult for them to speak in English and also to give respect to them. After the Orientation we went back to our Hotel to have our lunch.
At 1pm, we have to report back to the classroom. While waiting for the local students to arrive, excitement and curiosity runs through the mind. As this will be my first time to have a partner with the locals. When everyone has settle down, the teacher suggested for us to play "Scissors-paper-stone" if any party wins they get to choose. We thought that it wasn't effective, so we made them draw lots.
For me, Alif, Gary and Eugene, we will get only the special students who can speak English. From there they came to us and had a 5 minutes introduction. Then they bring us tour around the school. Had so much fun, laughter and picture taking throughout the afternoon. Tried their local snack/sweets, Bubble tea and food. was totally different from what we had in Singapore. It was a great experience.
At night, we had to gather at the lobby for a mass blogging, and also our lecturers brief us on our upcoming activities, plans and reflection for today.
