Pre-trip self reflection
I am a foreign student from China which had spent 11 years living there. Its nothing new for me to visit China because I do so every single year. however ,it's different for me this time as I will go China with my class instead of myself, and visit China for a purpose of studying instead of visiting my family members. The purpose of this trip is to find out the economic and cultural difference between China and Singapore. Since I had lived in China for my childhood,thus I have a better understanding of the culture of China. However ,different parts of China also have their own culture , so this trip is able to make me understand more about Suzhou's culture and their economic difference between China and Singapore.
3 things I Want to learn in China
1: the culture in Suzhou
2: the economic in Suzhou
3: why is there a culture difference between Suzhou and Singapore
Happy vs Wealthy
Many people says happiness come with wealthy, if you have enough money, you will be more happier. But is that really true? Does wealthy really bring you happiness? Let's look at Singapore. Singapre is a country that have a very strong economic, almost every one gets a high pay, however, does this makes Singaporean happy? Yes it may. With the money , we can enjoin more stuff and improve our lifestyle .however , where did our money come from? Adults have to work for many hours for enough money to make themselves happy, if you ever take a MRT in the early morning, you can see the train is filed with all the people rushing to work. Singaporean has a really tight life style that they do the same things every day : weak up, go for work , return home , sleep...they are doing this every day, yes, they did earn money, but does this make them happy? Although you have enough money, but you get to spend lesser time with your family. Money can buy physical things to make you happy, but money cannt buy times with your family. Thus , I don't think that money came with happiness .
在一月三十日，我校组织了我们全体中二学生一起去看妆艺大游行2016的彩排，令我印象深刻。
新加坡妆艺大游行 (Chingay Parade Singapore) 是在李光耀总理在禁止燃放鞭炮后开始举办的，是农历新年期间举行的传统游行活动，近年来已发展成盛大的街头游行，汇集舞蹈、街头彩车、杂耍、打击乐、舞狮和舞龙、小丑和杂技等众多精彩表演。此游行活动起源于中国，人们在农历新年后会进行为期两周的类似游园活动，以迎接春天的到来。“妆艺” 这个名字起源于福建方言的一个词语，意为 “服饰和装扮的艺术”，其悠久历史可追溯至 1973 年首次举办妆艺大游行之时。
今年的妆艺大游行的主题是：“智慧灯海，璀璨新加坡”主题提醒国人铭记建国时期建立的价值观，也标志着新加坡正迈入下一个50年，将要越走越好。
演出刚开始的时候，正是夕阳西下，天空正逐渐的被夕阳染成一片金黄。所有的观众都已入座，期待着即将到来的演出，而主持人也是忙着和观众们炒热气氛，现场十分热闹。
（美丽的黄昏）
在一番等待下，我们终于迎来了今晚的第一支游行队伍，他们是来自于新加坡青少年协会的队伍。他们全体穿着带有蓝光的衣服，举着蓝光的旗子，几百人浩浩荡荡，气势磅礴的相观众走来。在昏暗的天色下这支游行的队伍好似一片蓝色的灯海，正好印证了璀璨灯海的主题。
（一片蓝色的灯海）
既然是璀璨灯海，那么对于我来说影响最深刻就是由新加坡代表团所表演的舞龙了。这次的舞龙可不一般，表演者在龙的身上安装了灯泡，配合着残缺的夕阳，在逐渐变暗的天色下显得格外的耀眼，引人注目。两条龙好似威武，一蓝一黄，双龙戏珠，让我和在座的同学们个个啧啧称奇，拍手叫绝。
（令我赞不绝口的舞龙）
在这之后，便是来自各种国家人力代表团的花车游行，每个国家都十分充满特色，散发着浓重的文化气息，让人一目了然，也让我们大家赞不绝口。
（来自各国的花车）
接下来，便是今晚来自新加坡的主题花车。花车十分简单，形状是一个大大的电灯泡，寓意着新加坡璀璨灯海的主题。在完全步入黑暗的夜幕下，整个灯泡形的花车照亮了整个黑暗的夜空，表示着新加坡将在接下来的50年冲破困难，照亮黑暗。
（灯泡形花车）
最后，在主持人的和观众的欢呼声中，我们迎来了当晚的大庆典。几千位表演者和几十辆花车一同出场，在音乐和漫天的烟火中和观众们一同歌唱，气势磅礴，振奋人心。在音乐的高潮中，成千上万的彩色纸片随风飘扬，配合着华丽的烟火和高昂的音乐，妆艺大游行2016终于落幕。
（最后的大庆典）
这次的妆艺大游行让我们了解到了许多不同国家的风俗文化，也让我们所有人感受到了对新加坡下一个五十年的希望。璀璨的花车和烟火也寓意着“智慧灯海，璀璨新加坡”的主题，让大家团结一心，将来像花车一样在黑暗中散发光芒，照亮人生！在这里我祝愿新加坡会在下一个50年里，璀璨无比，散放光芒！
