Day 17!

Weather: Super strong wind, cold

Activities: APPG, Interaction with local students!

After much preparation yesterday night, today is the day where we are going to have our presentation! Was really excited about this and my buddy came for the presentation as well! I have not seen her since the first time we met.

Before the presentation, we had our APPG class and we did our trial test. I may have overestimated myself on the speed I have been doing. Given that we only have 1 hour for our lab, I finished the lab test and tried adding on enhancement to the project. However while adding the enhancements, problems started appearing and I was too engross in solving the problems and did not notice what the time was almost up. In the end, I have to remove all the enhancements and let Mr Chua check. So during tomorrow’s actual lab test, I must not offend the same mistake!

We had lunch with Mr Chua and Mr Tan at the restaurant in the international student dormitory. The teachers ordered the food and we did not see the menu so we do not know what kind of restaurant it was. So when the food came, Mr Tan told us that this is a vegetarian restaurant so they do not serve meat, but the imitated meat taste exactly the same as the real meat. We all believed in what they told us until the first dish that consists of meat came. The meat taste not only exactly like chicken, the texture and looks exactly like chicken too. Some of us started doubting what the teachers said until more dishes came than we confirmed our doubts although the teachers still insist that that was a vegetarian restaurant.

The first things that you say to a person or the first impression that you leave for others can make someone determine what kind of person you are. Just like what the teachers did, they told us that that was a vegetarian restaurant so all of us believed in it to the extent that real chicken taste like flour made food to some of us because we are told it is a vegetarian restaurant.

After lunch, we went back to the classroom and started preparing the presentation and arranging the tables and chairs. At the start we were not really prepared so Mr Tan stepped in to somehow keep the local students entertained by performing some magic and doing some self introduction to each other. From the introduction like what I’ve mention is the first few blog post, the local students are all very confident in speaking. When they are asked to introduce themselves, they are able to tell us the story behind their name, introduce their hometown and many more, while for us it’s the usual “Hi, My name is Kristabel”

This shows that we did not improve on that. If there is a chance, all of us should introduce ourselves like how the local students are doing.

During the presentation, Mr Tan helped us a lot by stepping in to add some pointers that we missed out. Overall, the presentation went quite smoothly and all of us had lots of fun during the interaction time.

There is a lab test tomorrow so I shall start revising! Good night!
