New semester, new block.. First lecture in the academic year.. Cos of CDS --cross-disciplinary subject in this block~
I got my
#1 choice: Japanese Language & Culture..
It's just basic conversational Japanese.. Used to be really popular when the J-wave's blowing strong across Singapore & people're dying to learn Japanese.. these days, it's just the K-wave.
My teacher's a lil depressed cos half of the students in her prev class said they chose Jap, cos school didnt offer Korean Language, so the next best thing is Japanese..
Japan & Korea are East Asia neighbours after all.. No K then make do with J..
That hurts..
She said she watches Korean dramas & listens to korean songs these days, hardly watches Japanese dramas.. Ending her contradicting statement with "Ok, that's how lame your japanese teacher is"
LOL (-.-''')
Some classmates who chose this module in a hope that they can watch anime w/o subs were disapppointed as teacher told us what was covered in this syllabus wouldnt be enough for us to understand anime.. Furthermore, the language used in anime/manga is different from the polite jap speech that we're learning.
For the first lesson/lecture, lecture & tutorial's kinda combined.. so strictly speaking it's still like a tutorial hehe..
I opened my pencil case & took out a pink pen. Eh-oh i found no blue pen in there.
I dunno why but i brought 5 pink pens-markers in different shades of pink xD
There's other colours too --purple, green....., just not proper blue/black pen~
1st lesson learnt how to count 1-99..
2nd lesson learnt simple greetings.. school, nationality...
Temasek Polytechnic sounds so weird in Japanese..
It's Temaseku Poritekunikku..
When read quickly, reminds me of konnyaku (jelly) =p
Business is Bijinesu
So if u say u're from business school, it sounds as though u come from bitchy-ness school.. LOL..
