Aiesec winter explore day 27

Today for morning assembly we had to lead the school's mass dance for Singapore town! Due to multitude of cameras that were pointed at us, Josephina and I had to spastic smile the whole way through. Haha 

After the dance, the principal asked Josephina to do a farewell speech impromptu!! Haha smu girl also will cuah tio one, she said her mind went blank for awhile. Somehow the speech was still very good. Hmph! lol. (I need to start preparing for my speech already TT)

Today we went to class 102 to help bake cookies. The class was super excited and phenomenally loud :0 the teacher had asked for 3 parents and me and josephina's help but we couldn't seem to control the class... Then again even at my sec 3 home econs it was quite the pandemonium what more primary 1 haha. 



This boy insisted on sitting like a mermaid the whole class lol

All of a sudden the kids became very affectionate and kept hugging us!! Josephina and I, being cleanliness freaks (though she's a lot more severe than me), could only focus on how they are unintentionally wiping their buttery fingers on us... We kept smelling our hands and clothes like weirdos. 

After the class we wiped ourselves using Johnson baby wet wipes ^_^


Some of the cookies that the kids rolled suddenly became grey... From a yellow dough. We only took 3 cookies each because we didn't want to laosai.

Josephina spotted an emo looking girl in class 102 today. So she asked if she was alright. Suddenly the girl pointed her middle finger at us!!! We looked at each other with our eyes wide open in shock lol! How did this primary one kid learn to point her middle finger?!! Being ever so motherly and strict, Josephina went to talk to her after class. And we solved the mystery. The girl cut her middle finger's nail with her metal ruler so she was feeling depressed... I see.

During class it was do noisy as usual. My throat finally gave in after 17 teaching days TT so hoarse now.
Bought my companion.

Jocelyn came over to my place because Huijang is bringing us to taipei 101 to enjoy the performances!

Reached the area at 9pm but there were already many people! We were around 100 meters away from the stage!

Taipei 101 building where the fireworks will be shooting out from!

Suddenly arashi came out on screen, streaming live from japan to wish the people at Taipei happy new year. This Jocelyn squealed and embarrassed all of us LOL

After many more performances, our legs were aching badly so we sat down on the ground waiting for it to hit midnight. Boy, what a long wait.

When rainie yang and taoze came out, everyone stood up again but the mood was still kinda cold. When they told us to scream there was no reaction lol.

Finally it was 12 midnight and the fireworks shot out!

Pictures can't do justice to the beautiful fireworks!
It's different from what we see in Singapore because this fireworks spiral around the building whereas in Singapore it shoots up into the sky and is more circular.

All in all, I think that watching the new year countdown on TV is better HAHA. Not worth all the waiting and squeezing. We drove home and it took 2 hours when normally it should only take 30 min!!

End of 2013!
