Finally! One module is cleared and we finally have a much more relaxed schedule. It being Mr. Tan's birthday today, all of us were busy preparing for his birthday celebration. 2 days back, we went around to look for a bakery and found one which has a 3 layer cake! In Singapore, a 3 layer cake would cost about 200+ but the one we saw cost 260... RMB! That equates to about 52SGD which is 1 quarter of Singapore's price. Immediately, we all agreed and took the 3 layer cake. Here's a picture of it!
As we are going to Beijing tomorrow, the role call was pushed earlier to 2200. Therefore, Mr. Chua helped us along for the night mini party at Buddy's Cafe in the Basement by dragging Mr. Tan to the cafe. Everyone had an enjoyable time and the person who has the most fun was Mr. Tan. He told us that every year, his family would buy a cake and sing a birthday song to him. But this year, it was different. We celebrated with him on behalf of his family and we could see tears in his eyes. That was the first 3 layer cake anyone bought for him for his birthday and the biggest one ever!
As a student, it feels really good to see our lecturers having a big smile on their faces and knowing you are the one who put it there. That sense of accomplishment is totally heart warming.
