things i learnt today

i had a very enriching day. I attended a talk by Gerard Ee, NKF's interim chairman. Then i had psych class. Then i had consulting class. I had good good fun at consulting class. To think i toyed with the idea of skipping class. Cos it turns out that time passed really quickly. It was 6.55pm without my realising!

Things i learnt today:

1) School gets awfully awfully cold. I should really bring a sweater. And a good one at that.

2) that when u eat very little the entire day and have a normal dinner, u can feel like exploding.

my family celebrated my bro's birthday today. And i showed my parents the pictures of my bro n i in my phone. they were rather amused at me being so surprised that we look alike. And my mum kept trying to claim credit for it. sigh.

3) my extended family has become very big.

and by 'extended' i mean to include the 2 tenants, Minori and Marco. Minori is from Nagoya, Japan and Marco is from Macau. And we're one big happy family.

4) People from different countries really have to be respected for their differences.

We were talking casually and it felt really refreshing that people who are much younger are so knowledgeable about another part of the world. Cos they have lived it. it's one thing to have read about the world and noe quite a bit about it (i respect people who are well-read too), but it just feels different when u c the real people talk about the real stuff. cool.

5) Japanese don't eat wasabi the way we do. They don't mix it with soya sauce.

6) Oyako Don is 'Chicken & Egg' rice. Literally. 'Oya' means 'parent' and 'ko' is 'kid'. Cute eh.
