Last Day In An Ning!! D: when we first went to the school, I personally got a shock when I saw the Taiji teacher back in the hall because I heard that we were going to learn traditional dances NOT Taiji again... ... BUT. it ended soon after we learnt the moves. After that was done, we then got the fun of dressing up in ethnic costumes from the different tribes in China. Miss Jelena Chua, Mrs Yip and Miss Renu could not resist had joined in the fun too! =D The guys enjoyed all the dances even though one in particular was meant for girls. After that, the moment that we've all been practicing for which was the performance which we prepared. We all did very well and sang loudly. And the other students from our school who did thier own performances had BIG rounds of applause. Especially Sabina who had something near to a standing ovation. ;D We did a mass dance with the WHOLE school. The final moment was when we exchanged gifts with our buddies. Many of us controlled our tears but some were already hugging their buddies and crying. Its was a very very emotional moment and many of my friend cried all the way until dinner. We will never forget the memories that we shared with our buddies.
We were at anning middle school the whole day today. When we reached there, we revised taichi for awhile. We then learned their traditional dances which no boys actually did well but nevertheless, we still enjoyed it and we laughed a lot. We then performed infront of at least 300 anning students. It was scary but we did it as a group so it wasn’t that bad. We then exchanged gifts and took many pictures with them. It was time to leave and we were all sad to part each other. Many of my friends cried during dinner..
In the morning, I am wondering why the teacher, who taught us Taiji was in the hall, shouldn’t it be the time for us to learn the ethnic dance. Actually, we were just revising again yesterday’s move. Then we moved on to the ethnic dance. First, we have to change to their ethnic costume before the dance. First dance is the Yi dance, it was fun and interesting and everyone was enjoying it. Then is the Dai dance. Although this dance was meant for girls, the guys were also enjoying it. My favorite part is actually that the costumes that I chose for both dances were beautiful. Then we have our last performance in China. We made it, successfully and when I was nervous for my performance, my friends encouraged me and they make me felt more confidence in my performance. After the performance, we exchanged gifts and contact with our buddies. Then we had to say goodbye to them for the whole trip.
It’s the last day meeting our buddies in Anning Middle School. We were really sad. But we still carried out our last performance for Anning Middle School. I can see that we really enjoyed it, as the whole group sang loudly with smiles on their faces too. After the performance, we exchanged gifts with our buddies, my buddy hugged my tightly and cried as we are leaving China soon. And I will really cherish the present that my buddy gave me. How I wish that our buddies will send us off on 25th November.
On this day, 23rd November, we went to Anning Middle School. Sad to say, It'll be our last day there. We did a recap on Taiji. Then learnt a new dance. We were given different costumes to wear. I picked a green costume, it's similar to our Chinese Dance's costume back in East View. We danced, and we enjoyed it very much. Well, atleast I did :). We had lunch, and then learnt a different dance. Picked a different costume and danced. This time, the dance was more feminine. It was quite awkward to do it. Hahha. After that, changed, and performed for Anning Middle School. I had fun! This time, I didn't mess up ;D. After the performance, exchanged gifts with our buddies, and said bybye to them. It was such a touching moment ):. Even some of the guys cried. We really bonded with the Anning students. After that, went for dinner, back to hotel, and called it a day.
