On the first day of our arrival (1 September 2019), we were honoured to be treated to a welcome dinner hosted by Shanghai University. All of us enjoyed the generous treat.
On the second day of the trip, we were again, honoured to have received a lecture by a Professor in Shanghai University regarding China’s Cultural and Economic Developments. It was an eye-opening session for all us to understand China, especially since we are here. The information shared were truly valuable and well put together.
In the afternoon, we had lunch with the two lovely students from Shanghai University – Grace (In the purple plaid shirt), and Yang Fan (In the beige plaid dress). They were really friendly and a fun bunch to be with, our entire table were talking non stop throughout the entire lunch.
After lunch, we played some games with Grace and Yang Fan within our class (T02). We taught them how to play Splat, which is a popular game Singaporean students like to play. Both of them also taught us a popular game in China, which starts with one person introducing their names and 3 things about themselves. The next person has to repeat whatever the person infront of him/her had said, plus his/her own introduction, and so on till the last person has to repeat everything everyone had said. We really got to know everyone better through that game!
After playing games with our respective classes, we moved on to the mass games. We played H20, which involved a lot of running and excitement. Everyone had to stand in twos while linking arms, and this definitely broke the ice between all the students!
Our next game was ‘Guessing the lyrics’. The social leaders included both C-POP and E-POP so everyone can participate! For the first song, one of the student from Shanghai University mustered up her courage and sang the correct lyrics!
After all the songs had been guessed, Ms Gertrude sang along with one of our students to JJ Lin’s classic song – Practice Love. This became a karaoke session! Afterwards, some other students also volunteered (or, have been volunteered) to sing solo or as a group. Much memories.
Lastly, the students from Shanghai University ended off our day by singing 朋友! It was surely touching, and all of us turned this into a mini concert.
