3rd week journal

What’s up! 3rd week was not really exciting as we only went to the city on Saturday and playing soccer every other weekday. Nevertheless, I must still write this journal if not I won’t get marks for IS. Haha

The big issue about week three was our APPG theory test. I hoped to score at least 70 something for this test because I had studied hard and paid attention to Mr Ma’s lecture class. (Well almost...). And I really thought the test was quite easy. The next day the results were out. I got 62. It was quite disappointing. But at least didn’t fail or else need to take retest which is just a waste of time in my opinion.

The weather in Chengdu has gotten better now. The sun is out. There is no breeze but warmth that is reaching to our dormitory and our hearts. Hahaha every day after lessons, my group will go and play soccer.

Amin - commands players to move. Great at both feet.

Nizam - long legs but always fail to tackle the ball from opponent. Exaggerates his skills that can make him lose possession of the ball. Can run fast though

Haikal - great at tackling people 1 on 1. His reaction is too slow after tackling because he wants to adjust his spectacles

Me - Great finisher. Striker! Woohoo hahah. Though I’m a bit slow at times.

Zahrul - SAFFC captain. Can pass the ball wall. Exaggerates his skills. I know this out of point but he always steals my dorm’s food

Juventus - good at crossing

Andy - tyco kia. Dribbles in a funny way

Qi Long - times the ball well to tackle opponent

Fuad – Speed demon. haha

Fariz - our very own goalkeeper. Hahah his face always got hit by the ball.

Thats our OIP soccer team! Hahah

Other than those activities, there were 2 cultural activities lined up for that week. The first was this negotiation thing that we had to do in the evening. It was mediocre though mainly I couldn’t speak in Chinese to debate with the other party. I wanted to help my team so bad. I guess this is why learning Chinese is important.

But my group mates were those with never say die attitude. Jia Hao and one other guy whom I forgot the name. We debated until we got what we want and in the end we received the 3rd prize. Not bad huh?

The second cultural activity was on the weekend after the city tour. Only Nizam and I went. Haikal and Amin were too lazy to meet the new Chinese students. Haha i admit I only came because I wanted to fly kites with the beautiful girls. We both headed to the place and found out that we need to draw our own design on our kite. This one cute girl volunteered to help us and I ended up drawing her face on our kite. Hahaha. After playing with the paint, we set off to fly our kite. It was a hell lot of fun.
