Introducing... OHOP RAW!
A very happy new year to all! Great to see you all back in school! We have some exciting new developments for you, so read on!
Main Entry: vi·gnette
Pronunciation: \vin-ˈyet, vēn-\
Function: noun
a : a short descriptive literary sketch
b : a brief incident or scene (as in a play or movie)
That's right. We'll be releasing vignettes of the Xiamen trip from time to time, depending on availability and time constraints. These vignettes are named OHOP RAW, because that's exactly what they are: short, minimal editing, without music and effects. This is meant for you to catch up on sweet memories of the trip, as well as something to occupy your time while anticipating the polished, finalised video of the trip.
For starters, we have 2 vignettes for you, both from Day 1 of the trip. Enjoy!

Reflections (Part 3)
Here are the last batch of reflections. As always, minimal editing has been applied to the reflections in order to retain their "original flavour".
"I liked tasting the tea, and it was very educational for me and my friends to try 5 different types of tea. My favourite was Pu Er tea."
- Claire Tan
"This educational journey to Xiamen, China has really opened my eyes of learning what goes on around the world... The people in Xiamen are friendly and approachable. China's weather was cooling and our group had to wear a few layers of clothing."
- Isabelle Tjokrosetio
"I really think that this is the best experience ever."
- Nur Ain
"I am now aware of how people live in China. I had a lot of fun in China and discovered that the pupils in China have different ways of studying than Singaporean pupils."
- Halimah
"My favourite place is the Xiamen Science Museum. It has a lot of interactive and fun games. I played a driving simulation game. I kept on crashing, but it was still fun."
- Terisha-Ann Tan
"I think that China is a good place to know more about our own culture and dialect heritage. It is good to know more of our own dialect culture."
- Chong Suet Ting
"After visiting China, I gained a lot of knowledge and knew more about my own heritage."
- Valerie Goh
"(Regarding Gulangyu)I do not know why, but old things always interest me a lot more than new things. On my way back to Singapore now, I am reluctant to leave Xiamen, but the time will come someday that I go back to Xiamen again. I am both happy and sad to leave Xiamen. Happy, because I can see my family and friends again, but sad, because I have to leave such a wonderful place."
- Ye Dan Ning

Reflections (Part 2)
More reflections! All of the following are presented in their "original flavours" :P
"I really enjoyed the trip and hope to bring my family members here next time."
- Anthea
"For me, I really enjoyed the trip, the people in China are really kind... I also enjoyed the half-day school immersion because it is my first time going to another school in China."
- Halsted Kiri Ling
"The itinerary planned earlier in the year was that we could go to more parts of China. However, even though we could only go to Xiamen, we could cover more of it."
- Adeline Thong
"Throughout my whole trip in China, I enjoy going to the Jimei school village best! I was really surprised when I found out that the Primary 1 pupils from Jimei school village could speak their Chinese so well... And me, I'm not so good in Chinese!"
- Sherlyn Teo
"When I arrived at Xiamen, China, I was afraid as I never went overseas by myself before. As time pass. I learnt to overcome my fear and to enjoy my time here."
- Joan Lye
"After this trip, I have learnt to be independent as I had to pack my own things, take care of my own belongings. I also have learnt more about China and its past... I think this trip is very meaningful as it increase my knowledge on other countries. I would love to go for another trip like this again."
- Natasha
More to come!
