09MAR10

The first IS lesson by a Chinese Lecturer.
Our lecture was a combined one, with the MOT mates.

I was surprised by the standard of the Lecturer's english. To me, it was considered pretty good for a Chinese since they have little exposure to english. But still, he had some problems with the more complex words and had some trouble trying to explain what he wanted to say.
I felt that, our lecturers in Singapore tend to ask us questions like "Do you understand?" or "Am I going too fast?" However, the Chinese lecturer did not ask such questions. He just kept on talking about what he was teaching and the lesson ended like that. It's only the first lesson. Will have to observe longer inorder to make more comparisons.

After lessons, went to the supermarket with a whole group of people.
Jialin, Weili, Jiaen, Huiling, Benedict, Rey and Eugene.
we all went to stock up on our tibits and drinks.

That was when i saw this. It's actually their way of selling rice. In Singapore, Rice comes packaged in either 1, 5 or 10kg packages. But here, you can decide the exact amount of rice u want. Plus, costs on packaging can be saved. It was also more environmental friendly as the lesser plastic will be used to pack the rice. I felt that this should also be practiced in Singapore too.

Went back to the hostel after we've decided that we have got enough to last us.
