I guess it is -quite- interesting to see the art culture of the chinese, especially their color schemes and how they even take the effort to decorate the beams above.

It's almost goodbye Dalian and hello Beijing (and then yay Singapore)
Last night's Cultural Festival served as a reminder that our stay in Dalian is coming to an end. 45 days have passed and everyone is suddenly struck with nostalgic feelings. What I will miss the most is dorm life; having friends live at such proximity and being able to share our daily lives is priceless. It has been an enriching experience of tolerance, compromise and self-consciousness. Now I understand why my parents wanted me to have a taste of dorm life.
Saturday will see us flying to Beijing and I know everyone is excited to sight-see, shop and simply have fun. Everyone, start packing and save some luggage space!
And oh, I will miss the friendly (though shy) dogs that roam free in the campus.

hey people, it's june the third already. yesterday was critique after the day of submission. crazy, i know, but hang in there yeah? one more submission to sprint through and we'll be heading out for hardcore playtime.
last night's farewell concert given by the students here and the other exchange students were rather cool dun you think? minus some extra harsh lighting and technical problems, it was generally a thumbs-up for the organisers. the korea students' performance were SIMPLY ADORABLE.

thoughts @ dalian
Hi all.
After so many days of intensive work on project over day and night and day and even saw how early Dalian’s sunrise will appear, we finally had some air to breathe. Today is critique/presentation day. We had Thierry as our guest critique and Jonathan, our lecturer, grader for this project. We had a very long and busy day however; we head on to the School of Fashion in DPU for a cultural night performance for international students who came to DPU for exchange programs. They put up a great performance for us and fellow people from CLS and DXPD put up a dance and song too. Kudos to them. It was a pity we could not perform due to the heavy load of our project work. But, however, I guess we did enjoy the evening and will head on to party after Wednesday as all submission will be over.
[Jonathan Tan, I totally agree with what you said. They were so quick and efficient during the whole performance and really relates to their lifestyle here. A good point to take back home.]
And whoo! We can shout out ‘Beijing! Here we come! ‘ =D I think it will be really cool and fun to get the chance to go to Beijing and go to all the famous site attractions. Whoo!!! And shopping! =X
Was it fast or was it slow? We actually spent almost 2 months here in Dalian. Will I miss this place? Guess some factors I will say yes. Like the weather here, the daily view of planes taking off and landing. Some food and drinks here I will miss. WaHaHa Hello C-lemon drink, walnut muffin-dalian version, 手抓饼, some of the dishes here were not bad-can’t name all of them out, the glass bottle soft drink, the sceneries here, a lot, a lot a lot. Oh my…I will miss here…..but home is still the best =D Home Home Home, here we come…..=)
Lastly, hope that everyone from DID enjoyed the long stay here in Dalian and had learnt a lot from this trip and take back great experiences to Singapore and mark this trip a meaningful one.

cultural night performance
hello, finally critique is over for all of us. today we attended some cultural performance by the school, not sure if any of you found it interesting, but i did especially for a selected few. i particularly liked the wu shu, since it is culturally china. the whole ceremony was quite quick too, show's how efficient and chop-chop they are (just like how they expect quick replies from you, especially when we're ordering food at a chinese restaurant)
some chinese play that...i couldn't understand?
now i guess everyone is looking forward to beijing and then home, although somehow (strangely) and somewhere in our heart/mind, we'll secretly miss this place. you know it, i know it. =P
