Day 4- OIE lesson and Physiology lesson

Today was the first lesson with the China teacher for our OIE module. But my friends and I were late for class :P So guilty and sorry :( (Will be early/ on time the next time) The lesson was actually quite interesting during some parts but I was rather sleepy when the slides became so wordy and my eyelids became really heavy..

This is the classroom filled with LSCT students and MDE students for OIE lesson:

OIE lesson ended at about 11.30am and we headed out of the school compound for lunch. Letty, Melissa and I decided to try one of the stalls selling soup with rice (recommended by the teachers). So Letty and I tried the 'dong gua pai gu tang' (winter melon pork ribs soup) while Melissa tried the duck with mushroom soup. This goes along with rice and preserved vegetables that tasted sour and spicy. (Not too bad) All these cost 6 or 7 yuan only! Apparently, there was no electricity and the heat in the restaurant is so unbearable. So we ate outside instead. While drinking the dong gua pai gu tang, I just can't help but think about popo and all the soup we always have for dinner.. miss them! ( Daddy, you must cherish the soup! Don't always avoid it like some fussy small kid! hahaha)
These are some of the photos of my lunch! :) (so nice...)

After lunch, we had Physiology lesson. Obviously, with air-con and a full stomach, most of us were sleepy. Especially the people at the back (according to Dr Lau's theory: they receive less oxygen in the brain, hence feeling sleepy)

As you can see frm the pic above, almost the entire row at the back is sleeping... haha. Don't worry, this is break time :)

After Physiology lesson, when we reached the gound floor, we saw this:

A 'Good Year hot air balloon' flying across the sky! Guess it's an ad. haha.. pretty cool though :)

After that, Yan Fang, Letty, Kimberley, Melissa and I went to the supermarket and buy more stuff. Yay! :) Dead tired after the grocery shopping because of the long walk from the supermarket to the hostel.
After the shopping, we went back to the hostel room to put down the heavy stuffs and headed for early dinner. This time, we decided to eat at the same place as where I ate for lunch. So shiok, inside got air-con :) And I ordered Kampong chicken with mushroom soup :) Though it was saltier than the one I had for lunch, it still tasted great! And I also tried their cold dessert-- pear in some sweet liquid. (So liang and good!)

We had an awesome laugh and chat on our way back to the hostel! :D

Reflection
I 've realised that China people here are very particular on their punctuality and respect for the teacher. For example, the teacher would be unhappy if we come late for class or when we talk in class. This, I feel is very important as well. In Singapore, some students can't be bothered if they're late or not paying attention in class which I feel we need to greatly work on. Probably, in China, the students are more interested in their studies maybe due to the competitive environment and it's necessary to always show respect to your elders? I'm guess these are all part of the chinese culture and Singaporeans should really learn from them. This includes me. I've learnt my lesson. But I wonder if the students in China are very open, in the sense that would they raise their questions in class? Will they just voice out their opinions even though many might question them? I've realised that in Singapore, many of us do not dare to speak up in class, maybe because we're afraid of being laughed at or we're just simply shy. However, I know that we can learn better if everyone is more paricpative in class.
