Ethel Tan Yi (from Geylang Methodist Sch (Sec), Singapore)
I have learnt independence from taking part in this exchange program as I stay in another country without my parents and i have to learn to bear the responsibility of taking good care of myself. I also learnt the importance of friendship as I learn that friendship has no bounds no matter what country you are in. There are many things to be learnt in all kinds of experiences. I feel that as I participate in this exchange programme, I have learnt a lot that could be applied in the future. I hope that there would be more chances to participate in exchange programmes in the future.
Joshua (from Geylang Metrhodist School (Sec), Singapore)
My buddy, Gabriel, is very good. He takes care of me almost every minute. Although he does not excercise, but he tries to join in sports, and that really inspired me to be just like him, very sociable, friendly, and open to almost everyone he sees. He loves to eat, and is a very good trumpet player. BEing so all-rounded, he has tons of friends, in which all who love him very much. I dont want to leave Hong Kong just as yet, cause i will miss him and all his friends. He loves to play computer games, and eat, and sleep, just like anyone else, but on the other hand, puts God in front of anything he likes or loves to do.

Karen Cheng Yu Lo (from Tsuen Wan Govt Sec Sch, Hong Kong)
Ocean Park is amazing~ I enjoyed very much~and we went to eat dinner at Shum Shui Po.It's delicious!!!!!!!!And it's really delicious.
Tan Chor May (from Serangoon Garden Sec Sch, Singapore)
Wow! the crowd in ocean park is huge! We had to queue up to play.... Good thing the queues never last long! Today is official as today is the first day i actually seen a real live dolphin!!!! I was so excited! What a pity some of the singaporeans were not there to see it! They would it.... I think.... HAHA!!!!!! And i did some serious shopping.... Actually i didn't buy much.... Just that the things i bought is expensive.......
Harendran (from Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch, Singapore)
Kwan Wai Yu (from Queen's College, Hong Kong)
Today I and Harendran and other students from Hong Kong and Singapore went to Ocean Park, there were lots of people and most of them were tourists.After we went in, we played the Bungee Trampoline, it was very interesting because every person can only play one minute! Next, we went to take the cable cat to the headland of Ocean Park but there was a problem. Harendran did not want to take the cable car because he is afraid of height, so at last he took the bus to the highland and we all take the cable car.When we were at the headlands, we ran to play the mine train. Some people did not want to play so they just sit aside and watched us. After riding the mine train, we went to play the Raging river that was so exciting that we were all wet after the ride. Then, we have lunch and we went to play The dragon, The Ocean Theatre, The ABYSS, the Crazy Galleon and the eagle for many thime. Sadly, Harendran is afraid of height so he couldn't play lots of that.After playing in the headlands, we went back to the lowland by taking the cable car except Harendran. When we reached the lowlands, the time was not early so we left the park.I felt very happy today because I can play with lots of friends in Ocean Park at the same time!
Tan Ming Kwang (from Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
Today is the long - awaited weekends. I've waited to see what is in stall for me. To my surprised, the whole family will be visiting an small island. Well, not exactly visiting, rather staying on the small and cosy island (Tung Lung Island). The family had planned this and got ready all the necessaries before the day of departure. We arrived at the harbour a little late and as a result, we missed the ship to the island. Luckily for us, Hong Kong has got a 'taxi' kind of boat which will bring us over to the island. We took the boat and sped off for the camp site. On the boat, I realised that the boat we were on was actually fishmonger's boat. Underneath our feets were different varieties of fishes. On the island, we went on to set up the tents. It was a little troublesome to set up the tent as I was kind of inexperience with the tents. However, soon after the tents were standing upright and fully stable. We then went out to collect some firewoods to setup the fire and have out wonderful barbeque dinner. Fortunately for me, I was able to bbq some other things beside corn. I have vegetarian stuffs like chicken, sausages etc. After dinner, we went to experiment with the fire and 'play' with it. Then I went to drink a cup of water and call it a day. The next day, I woke up at around 8am. The sun was up and the wind blowing was strong. I was forced to wear my jacket as the wind is not joking around. We then ate breakfast (which was instant noodles) and then we decided to take a hike up a small hill. The journey up was fast and easy but the journey down was difficult with the huge leap and stuffs. The climb was tiring but the view at the top was spectacular. I took a few photos on the top with my buddy's little brother and soon came down. We spent the next 2hrs playing poker cards and soon after, we have to pack our tents and get ready for departure. Packing was harder then setting as the brother and me did most of the packings. We then depart the island and went to the harbour. At the harbour, there was this small and adorable parrot which was the main attraction there. Unfortunately, I forgotten to take its pictures. Soon after, the ship arrived and we all said goodbye to the island and welcome home.
Koh Ta Ming (from Serangoon Garden Sec Sch, Singapore)
Today is Sunday and we could go out ourselves. My buddy brought me to Mong Kok to shop with his friends. The place was very crowded. In Mong Kok, there is a street called ladies' street. There were 2 rows of shops. After going to the ladies' street, we went to some shops behind the streets & I bought a bag there. After shopping, we took a bus home.
Harendran (from Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch, Singapore)
Today, I went to watch a Hong Kong Open golf match. It was the first ever golf match that I had ever seen live. I was amazed by the talent of the golf players. After the golf match, my HK friends and I went ice skating. It was the first time I ever skated, I fell many times but the will to learn made me to continue skating.
Ho King Wang (from Yuen Long Govt Sec Sch, Hong Kong)

(photo above) The two adorable KARENS from Tsuen Wan Govt Sec Sch posing with Kelly Chan!Charlene (from Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch, Singapore)
When we reached the Madame Tussauds wax museum, we saw wax figures of many famous actors, actresses, stars, and even members of the monarchy,or government. The wax figures of each person is very realistic, and people could easily mistaken the wax figure for the real one.
Ho Sze Wai (from Cheung Chau Govt Sec Sch, Hong Kong)
Since I knew we will go to the Madam Tussauds & Golden Bauhinia Plaza, I was very excited until today because I wanted to take a photo with Andy Law since I was 9 years old. I thought my dream would be come true today. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo with him because the museum had taken away his wax figure. This was the worst thing that I met today!!

Kwan Wai Yu (from Queen's College, Hong Kong)
This morning me, Harendran, Alex and Marcus went to play football. We played for about one and a half hour then we went to have Chinese dim sum. The dim sum tasted very nice! After that, we went to the peak tram station to wait for the others to tahe the peak tram to The peak. The view of the Peak was very good! We can see the whole view of the Victoria Harbour. We went to the Madame Tussauds also. There were lot of 'real' stars, we took lots of photos there.Next, we went to the Golden Bauhinia square in Wanchai, we took photos and then we left there.Then, we went to the 188 IT mall. There are lots of IT things there. The price is cheaper than others, so Harendran and Lloyd bought their things that they need there. I think they loved there very much! When we finished shooping, we went to have dinner with ten of us which included me, alex, jonathan, tiffany , vivian and their buddies. We have a good dinner and we went home after that.We have a happy day today.
Tifanny (Belilios Public School)
Today, we go to the Peak; we can see a nice view of the Victoria Harbor and the buildings. We go there by school bus from our school. And go down by tram. On the tram, the view really looks great.Then,we go to the Golden Bauhinia Plaza ,there is a famous tourist spot, there’s many others foreign from others country, so we can feel that Hong Kong really is a international center .
Charlene (from Pasir Ris Sec Sch, Singapore)
Today,we went to the Peak in the afternoon. There are many beautiful landscapes that we won't be able to find in Singapore as we took our tram ride up to the Peak.
Situ Jun (from Queen's College, Hong Kong)
Today is our trip to the peak.The peak is one of the tourist symbols of Hong Kong, it is the highest mountain of Hong Kong Island and a natural signaling post of incoming cargo ships in 19th century.The first development of the peak was the built of Governor Sir Richard MacDonnell's summer home.Governor Sir Richard MacDonnell's thought that is isn't convenient to travel up and downwards the peak, so he built the peak tram.Until the mid 20th century,the tram was finally opened to the public.
Tan Ming Kwang (from Serangoon Garden Sec Sch, Singapore)
Today out journey continues up The Peak. The Peak is a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. According to my buddy, The Peak is the highest mountain in Hong Kong Island. The trip up the peak was a simple one. I took the tram that will take the team up The Peak. During the ride, I watched gleamingly as the beautiful landscape falls behind me. When I reach the top of The Peak & gazed down , the view was sensational.Thursday, November 15, 2007

Today, we go to Disneylnad World. For me, it is quite good but I think there is nothing special because it is too small and I have visited here for three times before. For singapore student, especially those who is the first time to come to Hong Kong, they feel very happy and enjoy the day very much.This moring, we get up at 6:00 a.m. and take the bus to Tsing Yi MTR station and take the MTR to Disneyland. We arrive there at 7:30a.m. and we wait till almost 9:00a.m. to go in. Then, we go to different land to have activities and play. At 7:00p.m., we go to see the firework and I think it might be the greatest part of the day. Afterwards, we go back home. Now, i am feeling tired with my headache and the pain on my leg.Tomorrow, we will go to the Wetland Park. I want to see Bui Bui fast and take a photo with it.

am feeling kinda sleepy now so I will try to keep my journal short and sweet, Today we visited the famous Disney Land in HK, as it is the first time for me, it is an eye - opener for me. We were taught physics by a instructor and most of the things he said were topics that my physics teacher just taught back in Singapore. After the lesson, we head on out for free & easy. My friends and I went to different places such as AdventureLand, TomorrowLand, FantasyLand etc. We played many rides and most of the time were spent in the roller coaster ride in TommorowLand. Which explains why I am feeling kinda giddy even till now. In the night, we were treated to a fantastic fireworks display and then we went home. Good Night. I am tired.... =\
Situ Jun
(Buddy of Tan Ming Kwang -- Queen's College)
Today's destination is one of the tourist symbol of Hong Kong, Disney Land.There are many characters of fairy tales appeared in the Disney Land.Like Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, goofy, Donald Duck, etc.In the morning, we had a program learning about physics (force and energy) in the open area, like sound, solar, kinetic energy.Gravity and friction are also been taught, too.At 1pm, our free time started. We first ate lunch in a fast food restaurant,then,we walked around the fantasy dome, the Tomorrow Land and Adventure World.It is a great time.At last, we watched a marvelous firework just upon the Cinderella castle.Finally, we got home at 8:45pm.It is a tired day.

We went to HK Disneyland today. I have been there before. But there are many new games now. We saw the show of Stitch . And We played Space mountain for 4 times. The singaporeans felt that it was terrific . But I don't agree . This is quite boring . Ocean Park is better . And I hope the Singaporeans will have a good time in these few day .

When we reach his school,we get ready for assembly & introduce ourselves. After the assembly,we went to our buddy's classroom. I did not understand what the teachers are saying in some lessons. After school, we went for our lunch & go to Clementi Secondary School for the opening ceremony. There are some technical errors during the opening ceremony but the programme are interesting. After the opening ceremony, we went to have some light refreshment. After that, i went to a restaurant with my buddy & his family for dinner.

Today is the second day of me staying in Hong Kong, but the first day of me officially studying in a school in Hong Kong. The first day was interesting, in a sense that there were a few lessons which I have not studied in a long time, for example music, and some other topics that focus on the economy problems of Hong Kong. It gets boring after recess, where the chinese lessons were under way. The main language used was cantonese which I have no knowledge of what so ever. To make matter worst, they did composition. The whole classroom was in total silence. I tried finding things to do but in the end fell asleep. After lunch, we head out to Clementi Secondary School for the Opening Ceremony. The shows has nice performances thought faced with some difficulties with the technicals, but it is still a good show. After the show, we went home and I bathe, ate and slept.

The weather is good . But my buddy felt cold. I know why because the temperature in Singapore is about 27'C.He gets well at my home . NO problem here. Our schoolmates are kind to him.And I think he will not be unhappy.

Today is the second day of me staying in Hong Kong, but the first day of me officially studying in a school in Hong Kong. The first day was interesting, in a sense that there were a few lessons which I have not studied in a long time, for example music, and some other topics that focus on the economy problems of Hong Kong. It gets boring after recess, where the chinese lessons were under way. The main language used was cantonese which I have no knowledge of what so ever. To make matter worst, they did composition. The whole classroom was in total silence. I tried finding things to do but in the end fell asleep. After lunch, we head out to Clementi Secondary School for the Opening Ceremony. The shows has nice performances thought faced with some difficulties with the technicals, but it is still a good show. After the show, we went home and I bathe, ate and slept.

Today is the second day of Singaporean buddies' trip to Hong Kong.My buddy ,Ming Kwang, experienced his first day in my Secondary school.We had geography, economic, music and Chinese lessons.I think it is quite bored for him, because he can't understand Cantonese and he had nothing to do in Chinese and music lesson.(We had composition at Chinese lesson.)In the afternoon, we went to Clementi Secondary School for the opening ceremony.the performence has go on well with some small problems in the speaker and the musics.We went home as usually, everything went just as usual.

6.30am, my alarm rang. It is the day that I have been anticipating since July. I will be visiting my Hong Kong Buddy today! I brushed my teeth and left the home. The day before, I've spent the whole day to pack my things. I also spent the time to buy gifts for my buddy. During the journey to the airport, many things came into my mind. For example, how must I face towards the family and the way people may see me as. Soon I waved goodbye to my family and boarded the plane. It is a good plane, unlike the one which I took to China, I spent most of the time in the plane watching movie and listening to songs. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I saw my buddy's family members waving at me. I felt as though I was a guest of honour. I took a long bus ride to my buddy's home and it was a very beautiful house. His parents served me with delicious vegetarian dumplings which i ate till I am very full. Then I unpacked my things and got ready for tomorrow.

Today is the day, our Singapore buddies came back to visit Hong Kong.i waited in the airport for Ming Kwang‘s arrival.I got out of my home at 11:50am.And arrived at the airport at 1pm for the meeting of our teachers and parents.After the meeting we waited outside the gate from 1:45.We thought that our buddies will arrive at 2:15.But we waited for 2 hours and no one from Singapore came out.Finally, we saw some teenagers came out from the corner of the wall.Everyone cheered , half for the meeting of friends, but half for the end of waiting.First day in Hong Kong.My buddy didn't have any uncomfortable thing.He greeted with my parents and went home by bus.Every things going on just like the other days.

Today, we reached the airport at around 4pm. I was very happy to see my buddy. I will be going to my buddy's school tomorrow. I feel very excited and also nervous because it's the first time i'm meeting my buddy's classmate. I hope I can get along well with my buddy's classmate. I'm looking forward to the activities that are coming up. It's not so cold here and her house is very near to the sea. I'm still not very used to their lifestyle but I think I can get use to it after staying a few days. I hope I will have a very pleasant trip here in Hong Kong.

I think that today is a excellent DAY! Although we have to wait for two hours to wait for ours singaporean buddies,I feel very disappointed about that. However, the thing that make me feel excellent is the while we are waiting for our buddies, the famous Taiwanese singer Vanness is going out from the arrival hall . I only can say that it's very cool! It's an unforgettable experience .I feel very happy to meet my buddy again .I hope that we can have a happy time together because it is the last part of the Hong Kong-Singapore Exchange Programme . I will cherish the time that we spend together.

It was such a nice day today and I felt very well also. Again, in the morning, we had lessons in school. But in the afternoon, we went to the NCC HQ, a uniform group's camp. It was very big there and we saw lots of people with their uniforms on on our way. Then, we had some activities, such as archery and many others. They were great fun and I loved them so much. It's a pity that we needed to leave earlier because of the rain. If not, it must be even more fun.

After school today,there is a rehearsal for the farewell ceremony. It started just right after school.Unlike other days,today we spent the whole day in school,before going to the programmes the teachers have arranged for us.I don't understand why audiences also need to have a rehearsal.I mean,audiences!!Shouldn't they just come and watch and go?Anyways,I really hope that the ceremony on friday would end sooner,so that I could spend the last few moments with my buddy at home.

Anti-gravity!
CLIMB!!
Bull's eye!!!Jethra Chan (Tampines Sec Sch)
we got to visit the ncc headquaters today. it was to me the highlight of the day, we got to do some archery, wall climbing and others. however it startedto rain halfway through the activity. what a downside. it dampened all ofour excitement, non the less we still had fun, my favourite was the tunnel i loved the crawling and frankly wished that it was slightly longer andmuddier! that would be fun! i was glad that wanita was adventurous enough totry them out. however, i was not able to fully enjoy the day as my mind was set on tomorrow, i have an investiture! and the worst of all, i'm the emceeand i did not go for today's reherasal. i hope that everything will go smoothly! i have my fingers crossed!

Today totally rocks.We went to HQ NCC :DIt was really fun today. We learnt alot about NCC.We have now know that NCC is actually the oldest uniform group, and also few of the activities they have there .. We begun with Archery.The whole bunch of us finally knew how to SHOOT!Hahas. It was kinda cool to try it ourself.The correct position, the correct holding method, the correct shooting method .. you say it all, we learnt it all! :D Next up were the Motivation Obstacle Course.It rocks!We went through a lot of the obstacles.They were all fun and we have all learnt something new - that is how to get through the obstacles. A light drizzle started and it was raining.We couldn't proceed with our 3rd activity and went to shelter before heading back.It was really a waste as we couldn't try to take part in our 3rd activity.
Eugene Pang (Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch)
Today we visited the NCC HQ. It was a short trip there and back as it is located at Yio Chu Kang Road. First we walked through the parade square and into the auditorium. Then we had a briefing before we proceeded to our activities. We had three activities; the first is the obstacle course. We learnt that we must work as a team to be able to complete a task prepared by the trainers.Then we went for the archery. It was fun looking at friends shooting, but unfortunately, I did not have a chance to shoot as it rained.but I already had the experience as I had tried it many times at other places. After that we took the bus and went home.

Today after school, we visited the HCC site. We had a lot of activities there. The one I liked the most was archery. Everyone had five chances to try, and the man taught us the right position and how to hold the bow and arrows. I was not a good archer, and I never hit the target. However, I still felt very happy, because other students and my friends were supporting me behind me. I felt I was not alone. I felt the happiness of having friends and having support from others. It was really a fun game.
For the second activity, there was rain while the activity was carrying on, so we could only do the first half of it. I felt disappointed, but I still wanted to say thanks to the people who organized these activities for us. I knew they spent a lot of time preparing them, and I really enjoy and learn a lot.

Akmalina Zuhrah (Tampines Sec Sch) I never knew ncc was so fun. it was incredible. Archery was superb. the obsticale course was fun but unfortunately, the bad weather gave us no choice but to leave the campsite. i will never ever forget the little time i had there. till we meet again...
Sunny Sun Today's outing,the whole group went to NCC headquarters.There,everybody had a chance to do archery,obstacle course,and the low elements...or whatever you call it.For my group,we only managed to complete archery, and the obstacle course.The archery was rather hard,because we had to estimate the amount of strength and the aiming to get the arrow onto the board.Next, was the obstacle course.The whole course was really fun,even though I did not try going through the tunnel.The first one,which is the ramp,was quite fun!!Especially the climbing up part.Anyway,this was a fun trip,and I would like to have another go at it again!^^
Derrick Ng (Serangoon Garden Sec Sch) Hey!Today we went to the NCC headquaters at ang mo kiu camp.We learnt some things about the NCC and did some outdoor activities.But the one that i really miss is missing the achery course.I hope i could have at least try it as i have never tried before archery.Now,i would need to practice the cantonese song friend or else i may embaress myself and i really hope i can get the opportunity to tell everyone about my buddy
Karen Cheng Yu Lo (Tsuen Wan GSS - attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch) Today we went to visit the NCC HQ. I played many team games but also individual games there. All of them had good impact on me. Through the games, I can learn more skills and I can also make more friends, I think today's activity was really meaningful, I hope that I can join it again!

We went to the Little India, URA and the temple today. The stuff there was really cheap and beautiful. I bought lots of things there for my family and friends, and of course also some for myself too. I bought a small little handbag for myself and a scarf for my teacher in Hong Kong. There are many things that i actually wanted to buy but i think that there are more in other places.
Li Ka Wing (Tsuen Wan GSS - attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
We went shopping today. I learny lots of things although we just spent a little time for each place. I think do everything can learn things , including shopping. We can see a lot of things, and we can say that this widens our horizons. I enjoyed today's shopping.

Today, our school brought us to URA Building, Little India and Kampong Glam. These places have rich cultures and history beneath them. Firstly, we went to school as per usual and then we were released at 1.10pm and boarded the bus at 2pm. We visited URA Building first as we were presented with a 3D model of Singapore. I found my mother's new and old office and told my buddy about it. Next we visited Kampong Glam as we went to shop a little before we went to Little India. In Kampong Glam, we were exposed to the rich malay/arab culture and bought a few things for gifts. We also shopped a little in Little India before we went home and rest.
Situ Jun ( Queen's College - attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
Today, we visited the URA Building, Little India and Kampong Glam. In the URA Building, we had a quiz about social knowledges of Singapore, a light show and we have seen the 3D map of Singapore, we learnt about the urban planning of Singapore.Later, we went to Little India.We tried some traditional food of Indians.The taste is quite strange to me.Then, we have been to Kampong Glam and go for shopping.I bought some Voodoo Doll for my brother and myself. At last, we returned home at halfpast six.

Today's tour started off at the URA centre where we got a bird's eye view of the island of Singapore. The models were built accurately to match the real thing. A video presentation and game hosted by Gurmit Singh gave us an insight on Singapore's history. Surprisingly, the book of places you should see before you die say's that you should go to Singapore's food centre's to before you get your 1 way ticket to heaven. After that, we went for a tour around the historical places. Unfortunately, we couldn't walk around Chinatown as it was raining. but we did get to walk around Kampong Glam and Little India as the rain had subsided by then. At Little India, we entered a temple. The statues inside were very beautifully carved and did not fail to amaze. The little knick-knacks sold at kampong glam were interesting as well, ranging from wooden stuff to old tin toys.

I’ve visited lots of places and eaten much food with my buddy and her family today. First, we ate the Bak Kut Teh” at the food court. It’s very nice! Then we traveled around the eastern part of Singapore by car and I felt very enjoyable. After that, I tried the” Ang Ku Kueh” and I thought it’s not so good. We visited the Chinatown and drank “Cooling tea” there. I felt very happy! We went to the Botanic Gardens after we had eaten the Kaya toast. The garden is very beautiful with many trees. The fresh air made me comfortable. Later, we ate Japanese food for dinner. It’s very tasty and I ate a lot. We took the dog for a walk for about one hour then. It’s very enjoyable and I thought I’ve been grown up. P.s. We are always eating.

I went to Pasir Ris Park today with my whole family and my buddy,including my dog. We wanted to bring my dog to the beach to see if it knows how to swim.And it does!He swims for a distance until his legs could not reach the sand anymore, and swims back. Initially we wanted to go to East Coast,but because there is horseback riding, we went to Pasir Ris instead.I did not sit the horseback riding,but my buddy tried instead.The tickets were really expensive for just one short round around the range.After this outing, I was quite tired,and I couldn't wait for another outing like this!!

Racial Harmony Day ! Team building ! Sandcastle building!
Benjamin Oh (Tampines Sec Sch)
It was totally cool ! :DThe sandcastle building totally rocks :D We have learnt how to make sandcastles, ranging from short, to big, marvelous looking buildings.We have also learnt that teamwork is the most important,from helping to get the water, helping to build a stronger base,it has all shown that teamwork is very important and it is impossible to do everything by 1 person alone. Understanding each other, cooperating with each other, communication between one and another,are all very important in everyone's life. Friends are important for each and everyone of us.Without them, our life wouldn't be completed. Although our finishing sandcastle wasn't really that great, we were all happy to have known each other! :D
Lee Jin Wei (Yio Chu Kang Sec) & Chow Nok To (Chiu Lut Sau Memerial SS)
Today, the both of us learnt that building sandcastles is more difficult than it actually seems. All the scooping and pouring and mixing and so on and so forth really tired the both of us. The objective was to design a castle suitable for the Harry Potter movie .Our first attempt to try and construct the cone on top of the castle ended in failure as the sand wasn't wet enough and this caused it to crumble. This temporary setback allowed the other team to clinch the fifty points leap start. With such a short timing, we hastily constructed a rather rough looking castle and to our greatest relief it stood. Also a few of our containers cracked during the process, making the construction time stretch much longer as the cracks meant that the structure may not stand as it was not compacted enough during the filling time. After the sand castle building, we were allowed to leave early as we had a concert to attend. Lloyd and Jon car-pooled with us. On the whole, we were as tired as a dog.

Today is the day we celebrate racial harmony in Singapore. I was looking forward to this event as we Singaporeans have different religions and races. I wanted to tell my buddy all about racial harmony day but as a student leader, I have to do my duty at the canteen so I don't really spent time with her. In the afternoon, at the beach, I had lots of fun building sand castle for the second time. I learn more about the importance of teamwork today.
Eugene Pang (Yio Chu kang Secondary School)
Today my buddy and I celebrated racial harmony in school. I brought my buddy around the school to show him how the different races celebrate their cultures. After school we went to East Coast Park to build sand castle. It was fun working together with ny other friends to build a wonderful castle. It was really a fun and enjoyable day.

Tan Zhong Wei ~ Geylang Methodist School(Secondary)
Only a few days after the HK-SG exchange programme and i found out that gabriel's not a bad guy. Looking at all the other buddies, i feel kind of blessed. Gabriel's been very kind and is very good with manners. " thank you, your welcome, etc." keeps coming out of his mouth over and over again. This made a very good impression on both me and my family. Gabriel is also good enough to teach me french! HE's very talented I think, in languages and in music. He also seems very disciplined. I want to know more about him and i think it's very blessed to have him as my HK-SG exchange programme buddy.

Trip to Singapore Discovery Centre & Newater (18 July 2007 & 19 July 2007)
TSANG Jonathan Hoi Ki (Queen's College - attached to Yio Chu Kang Secondary School)
I went to school with Lloyd again today. We had English,Geography and other lessons. I enjoyed English class very much because I think the teacher is quite funny and she made the class much interesting than the others. Then, we went to the NEWater. It was good - it shows how domestic waste water can be transformed into drinkable water. The process to do it is actually quite complicated, so I actually just understood some of it. Later, we went into a room to watch a short video which showed the process so I understood better. The best thing is we all got a new bottle of NEWater; it is alright, a bit sweeter than the usual one.
Jethra Chan (Tampines Sec)
i am pleased to say that Wanita and i have gotten to know each other a lot more and we are talking well with each other almost like as if we were best friends if you ask me. i've learnt that she is very hardworking and so are her parents, who take extra couses just like Singaporeans on top of their jobs to enrich their skills. i've also learnt that in Hong Kong they have worser land sarcity problems than in Singapore.
Today we went to visit the Singapore Discovery Centre. It was very interesting as they got to see our military training area and understand more in depth about our different ethic groups. i'm having a great time despite my very busy schedule in school due to my involvement.
Benjamin Oh Ren Hao (Tampines Sec)
School was usual today. We met Sean & Steven at the MRT Train and went to school together.School was boring, according to them :D (kind of applies to me) (had 4 periods of chemistry =X)Left class at 1.10pm =X Missed half of my History lessons .. ):Left our bags at the General Office, and went to eat lunch.Oh ya, did i mention that Steven can eat a lot? Hahas. (It's a great point, ok?)Went onboard the bus, Lok Yan was tired =XPlayed here, chatted there.I was being "tortured". By Sean, Lok Yan & STEVEN But it was still fun right ? x)Arrived at Singapore Discovery Centre and was given a little tour.The place was cool, and we went together in groups (Me, Sean, Kelly, Sherline and our Hong Kong buddies)Visit this and that, that and this. And soon, it was time to go home ):On board the bus, most of us were tired. Especially Lok Yan =X He fall asleep :DI napped a while, and after which, chatted with the other peeps. and YAY. We reached school. Had a nice LOOOONG day =X And now, im TIRED .
Leonard Teo Min Xuan (Tampines Sec)
Today I have lots of fun in school, it is very amusing in my class as many great things happened. Although me and Donald are very tired as we did not sleep well, we manage to pull through the day. I was dismissed at 1+ and did not join my class for swimming lesson, so me and Donald decided to wait at the foyer tables till 1.20. Time flies and i shall bring the time a little foward to the NEWater factory which is what Jonathan called as the waste(our droppings) water park. Kinda bad, huh? But we can’t blame him as many people know that is what it is about. I am VERY fascinated by the high technology they use in there just to get a clean glass of water and i will conserve the water around me now.
Akmalina Zuhrah (Tampines Sec)
We learnt a lot from the Newater plant. We learnt about how water in Singapore is reused to supply Singapore with sufficient water to survive. The process was fascinating!
We then went shopping at Tampines Mall and Century Square with Jethra and her buddy. The 2 HK girls were excited to start shopping. It was cute to see them running around all so excited.
Lee Jin Wei Darren & Patrick Chow Nok To(Yio Chu Kang Secondary Sch & Chiu Lut Sau memorial SS)
NEWATER PLANT - 18 July
The Newater tour was informative and interesting. It's amazing that they manage to incorporate a viewing area in a factory. The tour guides provided us with interesting facts about this newly opened plant which uses state of the art technology to filter our everyday drinking water. Inside, there was even a glass floor fountain that was fifthteen meters deep, equipped with lights. It looked spectacular and could change color like a lizard. As we proceeded onwards , the different exhibits helped us to unnderstand how this complex system of filters actually works. The filters look a lot like the baleen of a whale although the guide said it looked more like spaghetti. One of the exhibits enlarged the particles to scales of a tennis ball, a soccer ball, a truck and a shopping centre. We feel that this makes it easier for children to relate to this. There was even a game area where you could test your knowledge about the different uses of water and how to conserve it. We enjoyed ourselves.
SINGAPORE DISCOVERY CENTRE - 19 July 2007 Today, we visited the Singapore Discovery Centre. This huge complex can accommodate around four thousand soldiers. Around the facility, there are retired a-4 skyhawk aircraft aircraft and old un-used British tanks. There is a training complex where they train solders to be colonels and other higher ranking officers. We saw a few soldiers doing basic foot drills and marches. In the middle stands a tall tower with over two-hundred steps. Upon reaching the top, the only way down is by a scaling down the roof. There's a huge library which boast over a few hundred books. In the main complex, there is a cinema where you can catch the latest movies in 3D. There are different sorts of games which teach different value s, all which are important. It's a very innovative way to teach values in games rather than preaching them from a book. Unfortunately, we are unable to present any photos as picture taking was not allowed in the main gallery. Another interesting place is the shooting rang. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
Leung Chi Loi (Tsuen Wai GSS)
We played many exciting games at the discovery center today.We played a game related to Enterprising.There was also a game digitally projected on a wheel where 5 to 7 people can play at the same time it was really challenging though as everyone had to work together to get the ball to the goal.The SAFTI bus ride was interesting too as we saw the army camp of future SAF officers which was very nice as I saw many monuments that represented the SAF and there were many outstanding structures there too
Tang Yi Ting (Belilios Public Sch)
I feel tired today. I really want to have more time to sleep. We have lessons with a broken teacher desk in front of me. It looks funny. I've learnt new things, such as science and geography. I 've no idea what the science lesson teach. I've never learn about atom and ion. But I am going to have a test tomorrow, so good luck to me!The Singapore Discovery Centre was really fun. The games are perfect. I hope I can come back with my family next time!
Wong Lok Yan (South Tuen Mun GSS)
Today I studyed about the whole day until the last period.After studying , we went to the Discovery Centre and played the games there.After playing,we grouped together.While we were grouping, an unlucky things happened on me----a bird shit on me,Ms Ho said I was lucky but I don't think so.=.="
LEUNG Wing Yi (Chiu Lut Sau Memorial SS - attached to Yio Chu kang Sec)
This afternoon , we went to the NEWater Visitors' Centre. I learnt about water and how important it is. The use of NEWater has helped to solve Singapore's water problem. I think this kind of visit is very educational and helps me to learn a lot .
Hoe Wai Yi (Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch) & LEUNG Kei Yan Karen (South Tuen Mun GSS)
After the morning assembly we had a PE lesson and played basketball. It was very hot felt and we felt tired.We also had some fun time.After that we had Maths and we cut some paper in different shapes. During recess we ate a bowl of noodles each. It tasted delicious.... after the recess we had science lesson. We learnt the differences between reflection and refraction.Finally during the Home Economic lesson we learned how to bake a cake. The activity was fun and exciting.In the afternoon we visited NEWater. The speaker was jovial and we enjoyed ourselves.
Eugene Pang (Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch)
Today we visited the Singapore Discovery Centre. It was better after it was renovated . It has more exhibits than the last time. Now I know more about Singapore history and things that people have invented.
Mak Yung Ka (Yuen Long Public S S -attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
Tan Siew Leng (Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
We went to the Discovery Center today. It is quite far away from our school. I have been there before but this the first time for Yung ka to visit it, she said that it was bigger then she thought. We have been to the shooting gallery to see some people to play the shooting games, and it liked a real war game. And had fun today.
Shanice (Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
today we went to the NewWater VC. had about one hour tour. i get to know more about the processes of the water from newater. i've learned something today [:
Emily (Clementi Sec Sch)
It was my fifth day in the Singapore. I still went to school, but it had different lesson to learn. In thereading time, teacher gave us a paper. It was some song on it. And we sang together. Then, we had science lesson and maths lesson. After these lesson, it wasart lesson. Some classmates told me that my picturewas so cute, I was so happy about that :) But todayhad something that I felt sad :(, and I want to saysomething to all the people,"Marco is not myboyfriend!!!"I think it's not a joke.
Joycelyn Soh(Yio Chu kang Sec Sch) Today's trip to NEWater VC was fun and educational. The NEWater is different from the water that we usually drink. Its taste sweeter and nicer. Through the trip, I get to know more about how the water ( from the rivers, lakes and seas ) is processed and made into drinkable water. =D
Thurs 19th...We went to the Singapore Discovery Centre and had a tour around it today. It was actually quite interesting but at the same time, boring. The thing that I like most is the talking robot ( i forgot the name..=X ). He can answer any questions you ask him and also joke with you. Overall, the trip was fun though.
Li Ka Wing Karen (Tsuen Wan GSS - attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
We went to the Discovery Centre today, the factilities inside were new. I saw many funny things there.comThe centre was really bug and this required technology. I admored Singaporeans. I enjoyed it.
I hope that I can visit the centre again.
Yik Man Ting (South Tuen Mun GSS-attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
When we have the morning assembly, we need to sit on the ground.I'm not usedto sitting on the ground.I think I can accept it later!Our first lesson isMother Tongue, this is the only lesson that I can hear clearly and understandit.In the afternoon,we go to NEWater VC,it's far away from our school.In theNEWater Vc I can know a lot about how Singaporeget the water resources.Wevisit it for about two hours,then we go back to school.From Irene
Wong Pei Ting (Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
We had Science test today. It was ok for me. Today Ms Lee and other teacherscame to our class to take some pictures. Then we went to the NEWater VC.This is my second time going there. There is nothing much to do there. So itwas quite boring for me. But I also learnt how reuse the water and the processes.
Valerie Chang (Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch) our school organised a trip to NEWater Plant. I've learnt how advance Singapore is. It's my first visit to the NEWater Plant. I think it's useful and enjoy the talks and video clips shown. In my opinion, I think it's interesting and the speaker has alot of humour which made everything so fun today.
Yeung Wing In (Chiu Lut Sau Memorial SS - attached to Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch)
I learnt the process of making NEWater and its advantages.Fristly, I didn't enjoy the show but later, I thought it was quite interesting and useful.The speaker was also humourous.All the friends talked in the bus and I understood them more.
On the19th July, I went to The Singapore Discovery Center.It is huge and beautiful. I took a lot of fantastic photos. However, the talk was a little bit boring. It was just something about the development of Singapore ,etc. Fortunately, I had lots of fun during the free time, like taking photos and walking around The Discovery Center. Anyway, it was a nice day
Sandy Wang (Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
hello, we visited the NEWater visitor centre. it was boring, as i expected yesterday. the weather was extremely hot today and everyone they were busy fanning themselves. as usual (i remembered everything), i knew we would sitdown and watch a lil' movie about water... yea yea, it was boring! i don'twanna go back there again! i look extremely forward to the east coasttrip... btw, the 'shkep blog was'nt updated. i do hope the teachers wouldhurry update pls!!! toddles :) )
Beckie Ho(Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
Today we went to the NEWater visitor centre.It was very big and see some videos about water o singapore.It was a nice day.
Mak Yung Ka (Yuen Long Public S S -attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
Tan Siew Leng (Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
We went to Newater Visitor Centre today after school. And we learnt about the process of producing Newater. In the middle of the trip, we got to try out the taste of it. It was not my first attempt drinking it, but it was for Yung Ka. She does not get used to drinking the and feels that there is a weird taste in it, and i agree too. After this meaningful trip, we learn to treasure the water as we decided not to waste anymore of it and ended up drinking Newater.
Lydia Yong (Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
Today, we went to Singapore Discovery Centre after attending a fewlessons in school... Everything was fine but we had a very long day...Therefore, I am very tired... haha... hope I can get more sleep tomorrow asit would be a shorter day for us... Though its my first time going to theSingapore Discovery Centre, I enjoyed this trip... =) I love the games thatwe tried and the shows we watched... we toured around the SAFTI MI too...haha... I realised that I had been there a few years back... =) it looks so familiar... lol... overall, I had enjoyed myself and look forward to ournext outing... =)
Tan Siew Leng (Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
it was because i am burning the midnight oil. i was revising for my biology test yesterday and yungka was watching a scv movie with my family. and there will be another midnight oil burning tonight for the geography test.
Joyclyn (Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
Today, we went to Singapore Discovery Centre. It was a rather long journey as it is located in Tuas. We had a tour around SAFTI. That was not my first time there as that was my brothers camp. Getting to go to Singapore Discovery Centre once again was a good experience. Singapore Discovery Centre had also changed alot. The difference I noticed between the Singapore and Hong Kong students is that they pay more attention to the teacher compared to the Singaporean students. Maybe its because they do not understand everything the teacher said as it was in english. My buddy is also ALOT quieter compared to us. I guess it is because she is not too used to the new environment.
Poon Kin Kwan (Minnie) (Tsuen Wan G S S - attached to Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
Today is the second day for me to study in Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School and I began to feel that it was really quite fun to study here. At first, I didn't have many friends and it made me feel very lonely. But now, I had much more friends than before and I felt much better to study here.
Today, in the afternoon, we went to the Singapore Discovery Centre to have a visit there. In the Discovery Centre, we saw many things about Singapore and we also played many games. I think that it was really fun to visit there and I love the games there very much. They were extremely fun, especially the robot--Little George. I found it so amusing that it really knew how to respond people.
I feel very happy today becauseI think that I am getting to be involved in class and I hope that in the following few days, I can become good friend of everyone and have the most memorable time I ever have. >v< Leung Wai Shan (Tin Shui Wai G S S - attached to Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
today was my 4th day in singapore ...today we went to discovery centre...i had fun over there.
Choi Wut Luen Lilian (South Tuen Mun GSS - attached to Serangoon Garden Sec Sch)
I miss my home so I cried.
Today,we were going to Newater.
It's comfortable because there has air-con.
yo I also tired when we came school.
Shanice (Pasir Ris Crest Sec Sch)
i had a great day today at the singapore discovery centre . the kaya & butter buns over there are nice. [:
Marcus Tay (Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch),
Ng Ka Wai (Queen's College - attached to Yio Chu Kang Sec Sch)
today we visited the NewWater factory. There we saw many appealing and interesting things that kept both of us very very very very interested. we saw how our waste water like our urine and other unwanted liquid substances that we can obtain could be turned into pure drinking water, refined till its best.... However, there was a boy named kwan wai yu that kept disturbing us throughout the whole magical experience with such an interesting topic. Such chances do not come by everyday, therefore, we should cherish every second to the fullest, but we were appaled at his behaviour at the NewWater plant... but us, being very kind souls, we will forgive his childish and inmature acts...
