| critical thinking.... do u have? |
Its been a while
sorry for not blogging
its not that i do not want to
But.....
I was in Yunnan... having fun, eating spicy food n see lots of mountain n river...
but sorry in my next entry i promise to talk about Yunnan because this entry has to be short and brief... no time! Have to prepare for my Japanese Culture project meeting tomorrow.
Talking about that project makes me boil...
@(&$#*$*#&$(#
its the project mates.
I am not a A+ quality student or project mate but I know that in order to get a good/satisfactory grade one needs to have the extra ommph, go in depth, something more than what was explained in class.
I think my only fault was not attending class last week as I was off to Yunnan, hence the rest of the group discussed etc etc. We did discussed the week before and came out with a brief outline. One of the grp mate said that she will emailed us the outline but I waited n waited.. nothing came...
When I came back from Yunnan n checked my email, still no outline but this guy emailed us some relevant articles n this girl sent us an outline on her part. I was like "huh?" , so whats the final outline and no one told me whats my part. So i replied.
Today... wait.. its yesterday, at 3.50pm, the nicest gal of all (also the one supposed to email us the outline) called me n told me if i know they are meeting at 4 and will i be there in time. I was like "no I don't know but I'll rush there.. perhaps 5-10 mins late" She was like "erm... but there's 6 of us (still do not understand where she said that), okies give me a call when u reached." So i rushed to school...washed up and grabbed my stuff.
When i got there.. only 3 gals are there.. 1 is sick, 1 (the guy) was still in class..apparently he was the one that set the time. FInally, I found out whats my part cos I didnt had the time to check my email ... another gal replied like in the late morning to answer my query, even then she wasnt sure.
The entire discussion was in Cantonese, like as if I understand and i have to rely on them to translate for me after they have decided. I was trying very hard to tell them that we need to look in depth more, do some comparison, perhaps relate our topic to the other issues. There favourite reply was "it will confuse the class". Come on.. the classmates are not stupid, why will they be confused.
In the end, I told them frankly that we are basically repeating 80% of what the prof talked/discussed in class, cannot just regurgitate what was taught but go an extra mile. Then that guy said "I don't see whats the problem". I kinda blurted out that it doesn't matter to me cos its only a pass/fail for me, but this will only get a C grade. Mean of me.. but its the truth rite.
Then that guy still have the cheek to say smirkily "if u do not like this topic, we can change it".
Can i just punch him rite in the eye?
I was just trying to tell them that we should not be superficial and go deeper, show some analysis. In the end, bet they think that I am over-reacting. Whatever. As Sheena said, its their loss... doesn't matter to me.
Ohh.. i've not mentioned that they asked me if i am going to present in Mandarin or English, I was like preferably in English. Then they asked if my points can be in Chinese (the traditional text) then 1 of them reminded them that I learnt simplified Chinese. I told them frankly that I've not really write CHinese in 4 years and alot of terms I have not idea what they are in Chinese, so unless they want to translate for me, I will do it in English. Moreover, I do not have any Chinese typing program. They said that they will checked with the prof and see if he minds materials thats in a mixture of English and CHinese.
Ohh... this is not the end, I had to remind them that someone needs to combine and edit all the various slides from everyone so that it will flow nicely and i told them frankly that I am not the best person to do cos I do not really understand traditional text so even if there is typo I will not know. The guy was like "good excuse", another gal was "nevermind". Arrgh.. its not that I do not want to do..in fact i want to do it very much cos I want us to look at least presentable n not slipshod.
This is sooo pissing... thankfully I am from SMU. I've learnt so much. I am not boasting.. but frankly, they sux. I am not even the creme of SMU, just 1 of the fellows.
Now I am going back to researching for my part.... lets show them some quality man.
The thought of seeing them later in class is saddening.. especially that guy. Ohh.. told Shumei what happened and she called him a Cow. muahahahah
Yunnan picts next time........... this i promise |
