Monday blues oh Monday blues...
I really hate Monday ): Before Tianjin, when Monday comes, that means I have to go back to Singapore already. And now at Tianjin, Monday is the day that hardest to get up from the bed.
Today, as usual in the morning was APPG lesson. Mr. Chua went through the past year papers for us one by one so that we would be prepared for tomorrow's test. As I mentioned before, Mr. Chua is a very caring lecturer. What he did is already more than a lecturer. He take care of his students more than himself, this is what I realized during DEL lesson on last semester. Even though I don’t really like DEL and programming module, but because of Mr. Chua, I tried my best to understand. The level of understanding for this module is still not as strong, I shall just say is still weak. Maybe this is due to the mindset that APPG is difficult for me. So I think I should just try my best in it.
We had a Chinese philosophy class in the afternoon. I want to share something that I learnt today during Chinese philosophy class. The first one is set your own goals; don’t feel sad or disappointed because you are unable to be at other people’s standard. This is because everyone has their own abilities. This sentence touched me the most as I admit that I always like to compare with others. I thought that comparing can make someone become better but I think that I was wrong after the philosophy class. Besides, don’t look down or admire other people’s life because everyone has their own way of living. Different people would have different thinking, each and everyone should know what the best is for them. As long as it is natural, that is the best. We find the way the locals speak weird, but to them, they feel that the way we speak is weird because it is not natural to them.
Besides, I also learnt that the Chinese character has quite a great impact as people should help one another regardless of the condition, but of course for good deeds and not bad deeds. Apart from that, we learnt the courtesy. For example, when we meeting each other, we must greet no matter who is the one. When walking with elderly, it is a form of courtesy to walk slightly behind them but when you want to enter a place, it is a courtesy to walk in front and help them to open the door. Also, when we are sitting, we have to maintain a good posture and position. When we are eating with chopsticks, don’t use it to point at people and it is rude to use the tip of the chopstick to poke the food.
I learnt something after every lesson here. Hope you guys too! (:
