oh yes!! my laptop was spoilt in previous moments but then got it fixed in here!! It was really good thing that i had it fixed as soon as possible as i could do my assignment just before i could go to the three gorges.((:
10sep08,
i've been mixing up sep and oct, so sorry. Anyways, morning was wanting to go to fix my laptop alone yet Mr Tan insist that i shouldnt have go alone as it was kinda dangerous outside, you might not know what you'll be into and whom you'll meet. Therefore, he insisted that i attended the class and after the class he'll bring me to see where can i fix my laptop. Together with another guy, Shi wei. The class ended at 11am, therefore we went there straight then visited Guangu first to see the electronic market if they can repair both of our laptops. However, the market doesn't hace Acer this brand as it was a Taiwan brand and not very popular in there. So we went to this Luoyu road, there's a huge electronic market!! Like SimLim Tower, and the market was filled with so many interesting gadegets. I was thinking should i get one mp3 there, i always wanted one so much. hmm however, my lectutrer said that Singapore's electronic gadget is more cheaper than other places. Come to think of it, it was true.
After a round of people refering us from places to places, we managed to find Acer's customer service around the corner. It was a BIG RELIEF~~ Got my laptop fixed there, and waiting to collect it tmw, however the other guy wasn't that lucky, it was heard that he's motherboard was spoil in some sense. And might take one to two month to repair, i was thinking, Singapore might have even better efficiency than here. The other guy, rejected the offer as we're gonna leave here around in another 3 weeks time. Poor Guy.
But during along the way, to me i felt that the local people are not too bad afterall. Some are quite friendly and curious about us foreigners, it shows me a fact that they are eagerness to learn and also find out things they never knew. In the society you tend to feel, the coldness and warmth of people and you must know how to deal with all these to maintain a relaionship with people. There's so much to learn as days goes on. And about my character, maybe im too straight, too impatient i need to learn more patience.
After the fixation of my laptop, we went back to the hostel. I rested for some time, my friend from Singapore called me!! i was surprised, really surprised, and it was the person, i lived most of my life with,VIVIAN!!((: She updated me about singapore's events and also talked about our part time job. I was thinking of quitting, just like Impain. How to pharse it, things are so different when i since joined. I know people come and go, but not schemingly you know work together. I hate people with schemes, honestly im afraid i could never be friends with such. This one girl, made me raise my curiosity on her she tends to be so protected by managers of our own outlet. Come on, you're in new and who you think you are, just wait and see. I bet you'll regret when i make my comeback, girl. WATCH ME.
this year end, will decide my resignation. Nothing to be kept.
11.sep.08
had IS lecture by the Director of the school!! was so honoured, it made everyone to be so punctual i think maybe for the few of times. ((: IS lecture was about the tradition Chinese philosophy on confucianism, buddha & taoism. Firstly, the history of China was being brought up and from what i remember i still have some history moments in my mind. The most memorable Qin dynasty, was the period of time that was being briefly taught to me during my secondary school time, i used to hate history cause it makes me memorise so much. But when i start to love it is when i feel that we should learn from our mistakes and not repeat it again in future.
So many dynasty was being mentioned in the IS lecture, from the memorable Qin dynasty to Han dynasty until the most recent one is the people of republic of China.
Today Mr An has only taught us about Confucius, the history and all about it. To me, it really sound interesting cause all the confucianism book covers so many part of human's path way of life.
From Four books Five classics, the Great Learning, The Mean, Analects, Mencius, Book Of Change, Book Of History, Book Of Age, Book of Rites, Spring & Autumn Annals. They are part of confucius learning to the path way of human life. In the books and classics itself brings a great meaning to life. And many of the emperor soon then took his words into ruling the empire, before that some of the Emperor thinks that the things mentioned in the books makes no sense and too idealistic. Confucius himself, dint manage to correct some of the sentence that he had structured inside the book causing confustions and also therefore raised some arguments with though they had the same main ideas of human life.
today's lecture was only just a short part, the continous lecture will be on next week which i will learn more about the culture and philosophy of Chinese.
Questions for thought:
. what is your opinion on Chinese Characters?
. Do you think REN "righteousness" can solve social problems?
. What do you think Chinese should do to improve themselves?
. What roles does Confucius play in Chinese history? Do you think that Confucius is a SAINT?
Let me know your answer if you can answer any, open to debate.((:

After IS lecture, went to lunch with ICTians without Aishah cause she was fasting. Persistent girl!((: ate fishball soup!! it was no ordinary fishball it was made of real fish and it was so much better than those artificial. Ordered side dishes too, to think they have my favourite steamed egg!!((: I total love that one, i must go back some time to eat my favy dish. Had met Mr Tan who accompanied me back to Acer service centre to get back my laptop, he even allow me to shop there for some time. I looked at what i always dreamt of most, ipod....awww.. it cost me S$360..for 8GB, i wonder if its worth. Will consider again as i need to get my peeps presents. ((:
Worked on my assignment after i was back, was tired but i dint sleep at all!! i just kept working and it was nightfall already. Head for dinner, and the guys just came up to crapped with us till 11 then they were gone, I think the most valueable thing i have during this trip is that every experience with my friends here makes me grow better and stronger. I am very thankful that I met all these people while my trip they really make me makes me enjoy this trip so much!!~~
okayy, shall continue my assignment.
