We were separated into small grps and Keilin+Alison+me were lead by our guide, Brittany:D Chatted and got t know more about one another. Toured arnd th sch, attended one of th sci class lsn, quite entertaining. I think th students thr were cool and they do things at their very own pace. Break @ cafeteria, theirs were much more smaller than ours. Proceed t artrm t make gifts for us t take back t Sg, i like th process:) Back t lib & we played games (Upwords) with Brittany. Lunch. After that was performance, due t time constraint, we+student leaders only danced CIMOCIMO tgr. Gave th presents (including my hand-made ones) t Brittany, xchanged email & took photos before leaving th sch. I guess i enjoyed th immersion yup:):)
