Finally I found some time to blog. As you can see here, I have added a tagboard for you to comment on my blog. Apparently, I understand you have to be a member of this chatgroup, if not you will appear as anonymous. If you choose not to be a member, you can just put down your name together with the message for identification. =)
I don't intend to stay with this blog skin, and I am still figuring out the different parts of blogspot. But I guess you as the reader come and read my blog more for the content right? Haha. More additions and designs will come in the future.
I had been inspired by my dear's blog (yes you are the first person I shall mention here!), and I realise that when people say internet and technology had made people lose touch with each other with less interpersonal communication, at the same time internet had become the alternate way for online communication to occur. I may have not met up with this so and so friend for a long time, but through internet, especially blogs, I get to know what another person is doing. Now even wanting to know how friends are doing got to be an efficient process...
The month of October had been a hectic one, focusing on cell group growth with all the projects and assignments due. November is going to be another busy month, with the Asia Conference and the exams at the end of the month.
Well I just gave my presentation today from my Samurai, Geisha module. I did a project on stereotypes and I focused on neighbourhood school students.
Do you know that although it is such a common term here in Singapore, when I tried to find an official definition of that in Yahoo, I get ZERO results! Even my sociology tutor didnt know how to define it. He said he could use it for his thesis paper haha.
Actually to talk about neighbourhood schools, you should say as 'neighbourhood schools' instead. Because the original meaning of that is very neutral, it just means a school serving the neighbourhood around it. But Singaporeans think of 'neighbourhood schools' with some degratory connotations. You are from neighbourhood school, you are lousy. That
Is that what you think of them today?
