1. 2D1N class outing

Ponned Writing for TV/Film class on Friday to joined Tiffy’s CR classmates on their class qingming break trip, time flew by on the bus ride there, the class was so united, playing games like Truth or Dare, and sing-a-long sessions. Our first stop was this beautiful scenic area, with beautiful mountains and lakes. Then it was to the farm residential area, where we stayed at for the night. It is so cosy, with a courtyard and bedrooms surrounding it. The beds are so soft, there were pretty floral prints everywhere and a thick comfortable blanket. Its like going to a chalet, groups of people started playing cardgames, mahjong tables are set up, some singing and dancing away in the KTV room, and others merely nua-ing and watching television in their rooms. After a while, Tiffy, SQ & I went to explore and climb the nearby mountains. Feels great to be “standing at the top of the world~” –sings-

Dinner was home-cooked food by the farmers, which is pretty much zi-char with 30 people surrounding 2 tables. There wasn’t enough space, so eventually we ate standing up and moved around the table to get the dishes we want. After dinner was campfire night! It was awesome sitting around the campfire in the cold, eating bbq meat skewers and chicken wings, and drinking beer. The class’s really great fun and united, playing orientation-like games and games that involved the whole class, like doing this thing where you stand in a circle and hold on to the person in front of you and step “ left-left-right-right-front-front-back” before breaking up to from groups, and those that doesn’t have a group gets forfeited. They also played the game where everyone held hands, gets tangled up and tries to untangle themselves, and we taught them games like the “em-chi-chi-tuki-tuki-tongka” game. More KTV singing/cards-mahjong-playing after that. Conclude that they listen to the same music as we Singaporeans do, Jay Chou, Amei, Liang Jing Ru, Chen Yi Xun, Stef Sun, Wang Fei..they even sang English songs like “My heart will go on” and songs by the Carpenters.

Next morning, we visited the Canyons, which is quite touristy again, with signboards everywhere and attractions such as walking on a tightrope, flying fox, and boat rides. (reminds me of com252 part about tourism and authenticity.) Lunch was massive sharing of junk food by everyone, everybody just go around offering food to everybody. Visited the Karst Cave after that, a place where they show all the preserving of rocks structures that forms pictures and tell a story through natural processes. Another touristy place, but the structures are really amazing. (: Then it was time to go home, and to leave this bunch of fun-loving class, whom we might never meet again. L ohwells, the trip was an amazing experience with awesome people!
