New technology and the point of lectures
Right now as I'm writing this post, I'm a freeloader at L's house :P Her internet speed is efficient and there's a good companion friend here to spend my time with. We're both using 2 PCs simultaneously....
What went down today is that I went to school one hour late for my tutorial!! And this tutorial was conducted online...we had to discuss a Toy company's problem for my New Media tutorial, in chat rooms, and as a group write a short report soon after. The purpose of this online simulated and unique tutorial experience is to let us students have a feel as to how companies everywhere now conduct their meetings and discussions once in a while, in chatrooms!
It was a very messy affair! It's like, when you want to present facts- like if your role is a market manager and you wanna present your findings to the rest of your colleagues, you type the facts online in the chatroom....and then with these facts from everyone, you have to write a report....actually, having a simulated workplace meeting discussion online is kind of surreal....like, something important is happening online and you have to pay attention to every line that people type to keep the discussion flowing smoothly....and there is the problem of everyone talking at the same time...give me a conventional meeting anytime...computers and the internet are fast and efficient and all but it is scary to think that normal activities like a meeting can be done online...like, what else can we do next? It's like, terrorists can conduct meetings online even
Anyway, I skipped 2 lectures today, cuz the tutorial cut into my lecture time and as for my 2nd lecture, though the lecturer is animated and all, he is still dry...what's the point of lectures anyway, the speakers are just going through things which can be found in our notes and textbooks.
Then had lunch with L at the jap place at Clementi and she was talking to me abt her ex's ex gf, haha, who hugs her guy friends and this pissed her bf (now ex). I think it's alright to hug your guy friends when you greet them, if they're your good friends especially and if you're used to hugging ppl, u know? It's not about whether its oh, just a culture for westerners like what L was saying...
Anyway, I can't wait till the Taiwan singer Angela Zhang's concert tomorrow! It is held at my school campus and I'd like to see how this popular singer is like and all. And my malay friend is going with me, I'm surprised she's as excited as me, haha
Liy and L, hope to have a fun girl time at Sentosa tomorrow morning;)Sentosa's beach is pretty picturesque and pristine, so bring your cameras!
G'day ppl!
