Morning everybody! Today is the first day of class after our cruise trip. First lesson of OIE learning about Confucianism. Telling about how Confucian exist and how it spread all over the world. Reading about Chinese history, to me is interesting as I have always like history, be it china or other country. The teacher guide us through the process who and what did the guy call kong zi did to help bring across the origins of Confucianism. There is also some philosophy that he have actually create by himself, his own thinking and stuff. After the interesting OIE lesson, as usual went out for lunch at the soup restaurant, while we are eating, we are planning about Zhen Zhao’s birthday. Went back hostel to rest early and went for lesson at the afternoon.
Finally, everyone is getting ready for the birthday celebrations, I went with yi xian, agnes, yu chuan and han hui to buy the present for zhen zhao. Personally I think the sweater we bought for him is very nice and I hope he will like it very much.
Waited for everyone to arrive at the greenery café at 5.30 pm, to surprise zhen zhao as his group member and him will be the last to come. SURPRISE when he came, everybody sing the birthday song for him when he came and, and we bought him a big cake too!

Present present, after giving out the present to both zhen zhao and dyannah, we went back to the hostel after settling the bill. Nevertheless, although zhen zhao is not in Singapore to celebrate with his family or friends, but I hope he will be happy celebrating with us. Lastly , happy birthday zhen zhao.
My reflection
Miss grace taught us about the philosophies, not just the way how our life should be but also how should we gain more knowledge and learn new things. There is a Chinese word saying” 活到老学到老” I think this is a very meaningful word, everyone should not give up learning regardless of age. The children in china, I think they have been though of the Chinese philosophies, which I think the parents in Singapore should learn from. Another useful stuff I learn today, I am sure I will learn more things along the journey of wuhan.
GOODNIGHTS!
