Current stand

What?! Again?! Another 1 mark is deducted because of wrong font size! Weird..Last test was the same too and I swear I did triple-check for the font size! Softcopy shows TNR 12 but hardcopy shows TNR 11. What a joke! A speechless joke! Fine..

Perhaps, Mr. Eric just thinks that I got too much for my test! yay yay! I got another 41/50 for my Philo Test 2! But, I don’t think I deserve it this time because my argument was not strong enough actually and I took a risky way by disobeying the instructions. The question required me to state 3 strengths and 2 weaknesses of my chosen debater but I did 3 weaknesses and 2 strengths. I didn’t mean to be rebellious but I really couldn’t find his strength anymore so finally I made such decision 1 day before handling the bring-home test.

So far, I seem like handling well in my results, except for Anthropology which I’m having average stand now. It really looks like I did very well in balancing both club activities and studies. But, honestly speaking, I still feel like I’m in my first few weeks of semester because I couldn’t remember anything which I have studied. I’m currently studying to pass. What a pity case =( But, my hard disk is really full and infected by virus.
Never mind, as Tian Xin always says, “Do the best and never regret!”.
Aiming for at least a B for Anthro, a B+ for Philo and an A- for both Macro and Retailing…

What's truth?


What is truth?

The sky is green, claimed everyone.

Does it mean it’s true because everyone’s telling that?

You would say insane! You could see sky as BLUE, undoubtedly!

But, have you ever thought why people would say sky is GREEN?

You shouldn’t make conclusion without thinking WHY!

Figure out, WHY?

They might be color-blinded. Hence, it’s true that sky is GREEN to them!

Or, there are other reasons.

Be calm to find out the reasons and you learn to step into others’ shoes.

* Different people have different truths. Try to understand...

Philo sem

Hi readers, it has been months for not updating due to busy life with club activities.
This semester is really a unique one for me. I'm taking Anthropology, Philosophy, Macroeconomics, Retailing, and stupid Moral subject. I really like Philosophy much! Next is Anthropology. Both these lecturers really teach me but they are tough lecturers too.

Let's talk about my favorite lecturer- Mr. Eric who is a funny guy whic most students dislike. You know why? It's because he marks and deducts students' grammar mistakes. At first, you won't think he's linean but you will find out he's really willing to help students but just in different ways. His way prepares us in a harsh society next time. Tell you. I'm really happy to score the highest in my Test 1(bring-home test), 41/50. 2 marks were deducted by him because of funny reasons. For me, I wouldn't feel angry but just funny. He deducted 1 mark because I didn't follow the format he asked us to follow. Without knowing why and how, fonts in last page are Times New Roman,size 11 instead of size 12. Who on earth would figure out this? Haha..He showed me the difference. Swt -.-
Next, another is also my careless mistake which I didn't include some required part.
Being lecturer by him makes me feel like I'm really experiencing university life. For bring-home Test 1, we were asked to play a game and answered question. In test 2, we needed to listen 2 hrs debating on the topic: Does God exist? Haha..It's really challenging to hear to native English debaters.
In class, we were shown with videos. And, don't try to be funny. These videos would come out in exams. Wall-E did come out in my mid-term. haha..
I hope to have more classes of him. I hope I won't disappoint him like in my mid-term which scores only 33/50.

Next is my Antropology lecturer who will look strict but actually same as Mr. Eric. She's good yet harsh. =) First in-class tutorial question, I was being lectured by her harshly in front of the whole class. She kept on asking me to think why and how. I couldn't answer. Everyone was trying to comfort me when the lecture by her was end. But, I felt happy. She is not a simple lecturer. This motivates me to study. Unfortunately, I did not do well in my mid-term also as that week was my event.

This semester is considered as my philo sem. I keep on thinking Y. This contradicts with people's views nowadays. They just think I'm annoying. I don't do it just because I like. I just want to know WHY.

All the best, Tian Xin & everyone! =)
