听说沈阳下雪了，心中不禁涌起了一丝遗憾。就差那么一天，咱这伙长年生活在赤道上水深火热之中的南洋子民就能感受到冰雪在脸颊上瞬间溶化的清凉。然而，沈阳留给我的又仅仅是冰冷的回忆? 我心中的沈阳永远是阳光的沈阳。
难忘的是刚下飞机就被团团包围，又是鲜花又是拍照，简直近似大明星的虚荣感；难忘的是门校长，郝校长，韩书记以及各位主任老师们的盛情款待，让我们女皇镇中学的师生们没机会挨饿受冻，也让我们见证了东北人的豪情；难忘的是第127中学的师生们在课堂上互惠互动的情景，让传薪的工作增添了几许乐趣；难忘的是沈阳街道在白天顺手拈来的美景以及晚上灯火璀灿的霓虹；更难忘的是启工二校那群天真无邪，又是载歌，又是载舞的学生们，脸上挂着的是那种久违的没有半点虚假的笑容，让寒冷的初冬亦不那么刺骨。
不错，沈阳下雪了，两校的交流也暂告一个段落了。但是，凡走过必留下足迹，别忘了在2008年11月，我们曾经热情地拥抱过，且让我们带着余温，期待下次在新加坡的相遇!
谨以此篇为两国两校的友谊干杯！ ~艺凯

8:00 AM;沈阳后记
早上补一些图，这是冬日暖阳下的初雪：
虽然沈阳08年的第一场雪上没有留下你们的足迹，但我希望，沈阳之旅在你们的成长经历上印上深深的脚印......

10:24 PM;雪之约
上帝的创造真奇妙,有四季,有花草,有雨雪,而生长在北国的我,独爱这北国的雪.雪一直是我忠诚的朋友,一年一度的和我相约,从不失约...
今天是2008年11月16日,沈阳下了08年的第一场雪.见到老朋友的我和往年一样激动,但内心深处的感慨却与往年大相径庭:金秋十月,我独自一人踏上了留学南洋---一个没有雪的地方---的路,心中与雪的约定便愈加珍重.离家在外的我,梦过家人,梦过师长,也梦过这久违的雪...可想而知，今天看到雪,本应有着无限的喜爱与亲切，而事实上，我的内心深处却有着无限的遗憾---一群远道而来看雪的客人就在不远的昨天失望而归,这种失落,无言可喻......
我第一次生这位老朋友的气......
巧的是，下雪的时候，我正在和父母吃我回家后的第一顿团圆饭！漫天飞舞的雪花，路上疾奔的行人，透过雾气蒙蒙的玻璃窗衬着家中暖暖饭菜和贴心的话语，这是家的感觉......
我和雪的约定会永恒下去，就像我和家人的约定......
上传一些照片，谨献给新加坡女皇镇中学的亲人们！愿上帝安慰你们内心的失望。
weee, shenyang :)

10:05 PM;Day 8
Today we stepped out of the hotel and realised that it was raining, soon after we started on our excitingly long journey to one of the movie sets （关东电影城）in the heart of the Shenyang. It was surprisingly cold as we thought it couldn’t get any colder then it already was. It was disappointing that we couldn’t get to see snow today. When we got there, we found out that the movie crew was filming a movie. We weren’t allowed to talk when they were filming as our voice would cause the record to be ruin. After we went out, we had our lunch near by. The place was special as we sat above the charcoal seat. It nearly burned our butts! After eating, we went shopping for 2 hours. We then went to a very classy restaurant for dinner which served very unusual but tasty food. We loved the food at the restaurant! We reached the hotel at about 7.30pm. Goodnight to everyone that’s reading!
weee, shenyang :)

11:39 PM;Day 7
HELLO, Group E is here.
Today, early in the morning, we visited to the Shenyang Olympic Stadium.It was super ENORMOUS and surprisingly we were told that they only took 16 months to build! We were allowed to visit the dressing room, it was SUPER BIG… so much bigger than our hotel room. Then we went to the press conference room and we acted as the managers of the football teams, giving press conference and took a lot of photos for ourselves. In the afternoon, we visited the Gugong palace. At the palace, we paid some money and put on the costumes of the eunuch, empress, commander and the emperor. We had a lot of fun taking a lot of interesting photos.
After the palace visit, we went to a huge bookstore. The books, DVDs and computer games were all very cheap and we had a great shopping experience. After that we went to have dinner. Standard la wahahah.
Overall it is a wonderful day and we feel that we have a great time today. We will be looking forward to more interesting experience tomorrow.
Bye….
weee, shenyang :)

11:25 PM;Day 6
Hello.
Audrey, Brenna, Diana, Hiumun and Wanying here! ;D
Today is Tuesday and we had an educational trip today.
Firstly, we went to the science centre. It is different from Singapore’s science centre. Example, the tour guide told us a lot of information about spaceships and more. We rode on a squared wheel bicycle and we had a hard time riding it but it was very fun. We also went to a theatre that showed motion pictures and our seats could move just like a roller coaster ride. It was spectacular.
Everyone single one of us enjoyed the ride and we were bawling our lungs out. We even went 3 times! ;D
Next, we had a steamboat lunch. Although it was mostly beef but the food was marvelous! (: We all enjoyed our fabulous lunch! :D
Soon after, we went to Shenyang 127 middle school (north). The teachers showed us around. The students recited “di zi gui”, something about being filial.
Following on, we went to a primary school specialized in the arts.
We saw various performances and we were amazed by their wonderful performances. The one which left us the deepest impression was the Chinese dance. They had great smiles throughout the whole performance. At such a young age, they could do so much. We should really try to improve on our own skills.We also saw a lot of cute little children.(:
We went to carrefour to shop! :D
We went for dinner after our 1 and a half hour shop ;D
Then we went back to the hotel to have our rest.
Overall, we had an enjoyable day and learn much. We felt elated and euphoric, looking forward to tomorrow.
Lastly we are living everyday without knowing what day it is.
Yay us! :DDDDD
From us to you. (:
We miss each and every one of you!
weee, shenyang :)

10:05 PM;Day 5
Today, we started with classroom experience on Physics and Math. For the Physics lesson, we learnt about how pressure can affect many daily life phenomenon. We were impressed with the way the teacher conducted the lesson and find that Physics can be very fun. For the Math lesson, we looked at some interesting number patterens and participated with our friends in Shenyang. Next, we attended the flag-raising ceremony. It was a solemn ceremony and the student leaders conducted the proceedings very well. After lunch, we visited the Cast Musuem which is converted from an old factory. We saw many machinery and even a tram bus. We then visited the Exhibition Centre of Workers Village where we saw the mock-ups of living quarters of the workers from the 1960s to 1990s. We learnt to appreciate what we have after this short visit. Last, but not lest, we visited the long awaited Coca-cola Factory where we got to see the whole production manufacturing process of our favourite drink. We were even treated to coca-cola in the original bottles. It was definitely a fun and enriching day.
可口可乐 ， 可喜可贺！
A glimpse of the living quarter of the workers in the 1960s.

A happy family photo......Cheers!

9:09 PM;Day 2
Today, we had a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel at 7.00am. We arrived at Shenyang No.127 Middle School at 8.30am. We were warmly welcome by the school management and students. We witnessed their mass morning exercise which was an eye-opener (ACE's Day dance???). After that, both schools exchanged tokens of appreciation as an act of friendship and collaboration. We were then gathered at the Indoor Sports Hall where we had really cool fun of badminton, basketball, table-tennis, skipping and Chinese Jianzhi. This was followed by a marvelous lunch in their school canteen.
In the afternoon, we had lesson observations on Biology and Chinese Language and we were really awed by the dedication and interaction between the teachers and students of Shenyang. To end the day, we were treated to another even more delicious dinner by our hosts. We simply love every dish that they dish out :) That's all for today. Tomorrow we are going to our buddies' house for the home stay experience. We just cannot wait for tomorrow to come. Till then, tata~ :P
The Academy Award goes to......
A friendly shot with our buddies before the Biology lesson.
The two most 'attentive' students of the day.

Friendship first......studies later.......ops :)
