Frm Fudan to Le Chateau...

Fri made our way to school by our usual 50min bus ride (so 50mins of power nap lor) while the shopping queen's group tried a new route to school. Caused it was a working day coupled with a downpour they ended up being really late for lesson. Anyway when they arrived at 940am (sch suppose to start at 9am), the teacher was already there. He gave me the type of impression Prof Kwak gives me with his casual dress sense. So the lesson started went on abt 佛家 (Buddhism)，道家(basically to just bo chap the problem u are facing)and the most elaborated upon one was 儒家 (confucius teachings); how being 证直 required one to 子为父隐，父为子隐. Than the discussion was had us debating about the Sporean system employed and the Micheal Fay incident.

Afternoon was slightly more into screen-saver mode for most after lunch from malan shop outside the campus and the boring lesson. What i learnt thou was that Shanghai was mostly sea in the past until after Qin Shi Huang era and beyond did Shanghai was mostly reclaimed naturally (to think Spore actually had to do manual land-rclaimation). Also the road names in Shanghai were placed not only in accordance to what was around the area (eg 金安寺 had a temple near by) but also in relation to the provinces in China.


Happy that school has ended (woohoo!!!)


Ya we study in this 30 storey building on the 24th floor...NTU where got so high one

After that we made a 3.5hr journey from our sch to Le Chateau for the Singapore Consulate General's Dinner session. Killer jam plus a little lost direction and hungryness (dinner only started at 730pm) left many of us feeling kind of skeptical if the whole event was worth it.
