Day 31 - China's National Day

Guess what day is it here today? It's China's National Day, which is celebrated every year on October 1! My friends and I went outside school and had wanton noodles for lunch. When nightfall came, there were endless fireworks display. It can even be seen from our school itself!


Cool Poses
My friends and I made weird poses to cast a shadow.


8-Legged Creature
The spiders here in China are extremely huge! There are a lot of spiders throughout the walls of our hostel. However, it is a good thing as there are countless amounts of flies trapped in the web. Therefore, the spiders are very well-fed, and keep the flies away from us!

From outside of our school, we can see the fireworks set off by their citizens in celebration of their nation's birthday!


Beautiful Fireworks
What a beautiful night when the dark skies are lighted up with endless array of fireworks!

REFLECTIONS

National Day is when a country celebrate their nation's birthday. As for Singapore, there are many things that I am proud of and keeps me rooted as a Singaporean. Singapore has vastly advanced from a fishing village to one of the most stable economy in the world. Singapore is governed by strict laws and regulations, and everything is operated with integrity, and without corruption.

Singapore is such a safe country, as the law is fortified by a strong police force which keeps the streets safe, and heavy consequences for offenses. Singapore is a great country to set up business in, and has great opportunities for everyone to succeed in life.


Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.
