Some interesting facts that i got from email...
hehe..
the differences between individualistic culture and collectivistic culture...
yes...
cultural differences...
that made up our standard differences...
and difficulties differences...
and lead on to teaching style differences...
learning style differences...
interpreting differences...
listening differences....
visual differences....
exam differences...
and a whole lot more differences...
that contributed to our difficulties...
why must there be so many differences?
can't life be more similar...
but if similar then very weird...
everyone will be wearing the same attire...
same appearance...
same attitude...
same personality...
then will be like clone...
yer...don't want....
stick to this for awhile more...
nightmare is going to over soon...
hehe....
Till here....

Well, as for me i dun reli noe about cultural differences until it gives me a *%#$% lot of trouble trying to fit everyone into his tiny own world.
For those who don't understand the previous sentence, it's either:
Am in my midst of finishing the 6 possible exam questions, which is such a waste of time. I mean, i rather he spend the whole semester teaching us something and not telling us what might be coming out, instead of just throwing 6 essay (yes ESSAY) questions to us, which some he didn't even thought us in class, and then telling us that he has done his best and are at the lowest point for giving us a pass already. Such nonsense.
Anyway, there might not be much time for blogging long now... Alot more to do. Haha.
Till here...
