Self-reflection

Throughout this even I understood more about Chinese traditional and culture, I watched before, but that was my new experience as a university student, and that was the third week I was in UTM. My friends and I, total 4 people went to DSI from College 10 on foot, regarding to Google Map, there is 2.3km far away, and we spent more than half an hour to get to there, and one of my friends is disabled, we push him by a wheelchair. When we got to there, there is not so many people because the performance still a long way to start, we reached there earlier. That was my first time being at DSI, I has never been there before that, since I was still new student as mentioned earlier. We all were waiting at the outside of the hall, waiting for the performance to begin, such a new experience!
