9th September 2009. It was Rebecca’s birthday today! Happy birthday Rebecca!
The birthday girl, Rebecca!
All of us stayed awake till midnight to give her a surprise. A huge cake with 7 layers was bought and a video was made especially for her on her special day. Though all of us was tired and wanted to sleep, we managed to stay wide awake. As the clock strikes midnight, preparations were started. We got the cake and candles ready, prepared the camera and gathered everyone around before we go over to her room. As we set off, we lighted the candles and once she opens the door, it goes HAPPY BIRTHDAY! All of us sang the English, Chinese and Malay version of birthday song for her. Everyone was very high and enthusiastic.
The birthday cake!
Cutting the cake..
After that, was the wish making and blowing of candle and some photo taking sessions before we all go into the room for the video which everyone contributed by being one of the actor or actress, including our trip leader, Mr. Joseph Loh. And of course, some funny actions were done by some of us in the video to spice up the atmosphere and to make it interesting and funny.

After watching the video, was distributing the cake to everyone. We ate the cake and of course things were fun and interesting over here! Everything was settled at around 1am in the morning where all of us start cleaning up and return to our own rooms. It was definitely a memorable birthday for her this year. All of us slept very late today or rather this morning. The bad news is that we have to wake up early for a lesson which starts at 9am in the morning! All of us were very tired. Thus, we finished up our things and off we go to our dearest dreamlands.
Lesson at 9am this morning with Mr. Joseph Loh again. Done with chapter 2 today and of course, we had our 2nd quiz on chapter 2 today as well after completing the chapter. After the quiz were some time using and familiarizing with Flexsim as well as doing up our Lab Exercise 1.
After lessons was lunch time with some of the guys! We went to the steamboat for our lunch today. It was rather cheap. The food there was nice and it was counted based on the number of sticks we ordered. Each stick cost RMB$0.30. We spent only RMB$68 for our lunch for 5 persons. So each person will only have to pay around RMB$14 with is only around SGD$4 or so.
After lunch, was back in room time for most of us to rest and to complete some work. Stayed in the room till around 7 in the evening before we headed out for dinner and after that, here we are blogging! And also, weather today was very good! Cooling and nice weather. Hope it stays this way!
Alrights! That’s all for today!
My Reflections:
After celebrating Rebecca’s birthday today, I realized that on this very special day in our lives, we should be all be grateful to our parents for they are the ones who brought us to this world. Without them, we will not be able to enjoy all these comforts and entertainment and life which we are experiencing right now.
