Day 16: Lessons!

Day number 16. Nothing much happened today. We had lessons for the whole of today. Woke up at around 7 in the morning today, prepared, packed and off we go for our IS module lesson at 9am. We had a lecture on Chinese culture and customs, such as wedding customs and some feng shui lessons. The lecture was rather long and we had lessons till around 12 noon before we go off for our lunch.

Listening Attentively


After our IS Lessons, we headed out for some stores beside our hostel to get ourselves some hamburgers, drinks and bread before we headed back to our hostel rooms to rest and to complete the rest of the assignment which we will be having our presentation later.

Soon, it was time for us to head back to our classroom for our BPE Lecture with Mr. Loh as well as Assignment 1 presentation. The lesson started at 2pm with chapter 5 of the BPE followed by the chapter by chapter quiz after we completed chapter 5.

After the chapter 5 quiz, its presentation time for Assignment 1. As there were insufficient time for all the groups to complete the presentation, my group is scheduled to have our presentation the following day. Lessons ended at around 5plus 6 in the evening and after which, we headed back to our rooms to rest for awhile before heading out for dinner.

After dinner, was once again assignment time such as blogging.

Alrights. That's all for today! Will be having a factory visit in the early morning tomorrow, and will be having BPE Test from Chapters 1 to 5 as well as my group's presentation in the afternoon!

My Reflections:

After today's IS Lesson on the Chinese wedding customs as well as feng shui, i realised that different races and different religion has their own ways of celebrating or commemorating these festive occations. Thus, I believe that by respecting each other and understanding the differences in the cultures which we adopt is very crucial. At the same time, we should show our care and concern for the rest despite the various differences or gaps which we have. This is the only way that we will all live in harmony together.
