What We Did

This morning, we woke up slightly later as our lessons were only scheduled to start at 10am. As I woke up at around 7.30am in the morning, I decided to complete my chores such as doing my laundry and cleaning up of my room. We met up with the girls at around 9.30am and headed off to lesson.

For today’s lesson we started on Chapter 6: Methods. Mr. Ma managed to complete teaching the entire chapter within an hour. That was fast! Soon, we found ourselves doing the Tutorial 6 before Lunchtime. We couldn’t complete it on time. We eventually ended up being the last to leave the class. We wanted to stay a bit longer, but Mr. Ma wanted to lock the room.

We went for our Lunch at Canteen 2 where we shared a meal among the four of us. After having our meal, we decided to head back to Classroom due to lack of time to travel to the Hostel.

During the afternoon’s lesson, we finished up our Tutorial 6, and Mr. Ma went through them with us. Following that, he showed his Lab 6 (Part 1 and Part 2) to us, and we can go about doing the program. Then, he left the remaining hour to us, so that we can complete the Lab Assignments. It was simply too complicated to understand. I had to read over and over and over again. We couldn’t finish the program by the end of the lesson. Thankfully, by the end of the Lesson, Mr. Ma gave us time till tomorrow, to complete it.

After our Lesson, we headed back to the hostel. We placed our bags there and headed down with Zhi Wei, Chewy to play Table Tennis. When we went to the Staff Recreation Centre, we realized that there were no more ping pong balls available. We called Mr. Chua, and asked him if we could borrow his equipment. I volunteered to walk up and get the stuff although I had an ankle injury. I just walked slightly fast, instead of running In order not to strain my leg. When I arrived at his office, my leg hit the railing at the entrance of the door, hurting my ankle even more. Why is it that I constantly, hit my legs and injure them always?

I managed to walk back to the hostel slowly. We went up to the table tennis room to play a few rounds till 7pm. It felt pretty good to play once in a while like that; it helps to relive stress as well, but my leg certainly felt painful after a while thoough. After a few games, we left the premises and went down to meet the girls (Sasireika and Hwee Ping) for Dinner, while Jia He (Chewy) and Zhi Wei played on.

We went for our Dinner at Canteen 2, and headed towards the bakery to buy our breakfast for the next day. On the way back, we bought the Pancake Fish as well. While going through the shortcut back to our hostel, we saw Dave being brought to the Clinic by Mr. Chua and a few others (Jeremy, Zhi Wei, Xin Rong, Jia He and others). He looked pretty weak as well. I certainly hope he recovers fast. When we returned to the hostel, we knew that Dave was suffering from Food Poisoning was vomiting pretty badly. It could have been the Barbecue food that we ate last night, but its chances were very unlikely as we did not have such an impact.
Following that, we continued with our assignments and our journals before retiring for the night.
What We Think

One’s Health, especially in a foreign country is very important concern. Being sick in foreign country can be slightly costly as well, being a foreigner. One can definitely get sick easily. This could be due to the unpredictable weather, food, environment and the lifestyle as well. Thus, we should always keep ourselves in the pink of health so as to ensure chances of getting sick are minimized.
