today, our post exam activity was chinese brush painting. i thought that it was quite boring. i think that the wiring class is the most fun as they teach you how to make a human figure out of wires. another group also got to learn jewellery making which i thought was quite cool.(couldn't imagine that the guys had to make jewellery too).

so, when my friend and i were heading towards the class, we saw this old guy holding a container of water. i was like"is that our teacher" i turned out that he was our teacher. the bad thing was that he could only speak chinese. i could not understand half the things he was saiyng as yuou know my chinese is horrible. how horrible you ask.....i scored 19/70, that's how horrible it is.

so we started out buy laying the newspaper on our table and learn the basic techniques on how to paint using the brush. we had a small plate of black ink. i dipped the brush into the water, and the water turned solid black.

when i first started out, it looked horrible, but it started to get better the more times i tried. it was not as easy as it looks. anyway, there's this funny part. the teacher came to me and helped me to paint the bamboo. and there were art teachers from my school walking around the classes and taking pictures. one of my art teacher thought that i painted the bamboo and asked if she could take a picture of me with the painting. i felt so guilty!!!! i did not paint that!!! the old guy did...

the class was quite boring though, but at least i learnt something new. tomorrow our post exam activity is golf. i'm thinkin, why golf?? the secondary two students get to learn drumming and in -line skating. i've been playing golf for two years.....i have suffered enough. you only get bitten by lots of mosquitoes at the golf course and it is really hot. just hope i can get through tomorrow without dying from a heat stroke or dengue. here are some pictures, enjoy...

signing off,
