Hello!

10am presentation so the 123 girls woke up around the range of 730 to 8am to touch up and run-through our slides. Almost marked (or maybe already marked) as late though since we got carried away in the midst of our preparation.

Good news: All three managed to get our points across.
Bad news: two of us had to be probed for answers, that shows we did not explain it rather thoroughly right?
Good news: ITS OVER!
Its a ratio of 2:1, that should be a call to celebrate, isnt it? Haaa -___-

I had maggi for breakfast and lunch, maybe maggi for breakfast tomorrow also? (OMG, dear hair, please dont take offense with the plenty intake of MSG and continue growing like normal, okay? I love you~)

Xiao Lin Laoshi starts off the lecture on Queue (the long men's hairstyle) and also the feet binding history. That sets me wide awake. heh.


It was when the Manchus managed to conquer China and they made all of the men (the Han Chinese exactly) to do the queue hairstyle as a sign of submission. The men were'nt happy (although, I think most of them were more unhappy towards the new hairstyle rather than being conquered). 

Infact, I dont think anyone likes to be conquered, thus relating to the NE message: 5. We must ourselves defend Singapore.  No one else is responsible for our own security and well-being.

Makes me miss my little hometown now... 

Just look at the crushed toes. only the big toe was untouched. other than that every other bone in the feet are crushed eversince they are 3 years old! *#&*@ 3-inches feet are considered golden lilies feet. 4 inches-Silver lilies. iron lilies-5 inches. If its gold and silver and iron, how come never show it off?
grr.

It started off from the dancers that were asked by the emperor to dance on a golden lily platform with their feet bounded. Logically, our feet should be big and long enough and of the appropriate shape to withstand our weight. I can only imagine them hobbling around with feets spoilt and cramped. I guess thats precisely why they were'nt It was done to show your a woman of high class. The smaller your feets are the most desirable you are. ouch! imagine someone wanting you because of the size of your feet? Its like wanting you just for the size of your tits. 

*taking deep breaths*


thats my view.

Since in olden days women are known to be more obedient and respectful of authority (esp. towards their parents), I guess they would have no choice and when it determines your future.... sighs.

IS teacher also covered on the politics (different parties like those PAP in SG) in China... FYI, students involve in communists parties are not as favourable as those who are not in any parties for international students . It reminded me of Nancy, my classmate. I think she's not associated?will ask.

Religion about Taoism and Buddhism were also covered. Do you know Buddhism orginated from India? i thought it was from China. hurhur.

After class, I asked teacher to cover more on the chinese beliefs that they applied in their daily life now, as that is one of the things I had looked forward to. She told me she will look into it and asked me to help her write down about the Muslims in China as well so she wont forget. I think mr Wong gave her that suggestion.

by the way, mr wong can be a very good Phua Chu kang, dont you agree? LOL. OIP grp has been assigned to do a presentation things on Made in Sg. So far, XY have not delegated any tasks but I guess we can auto- do our research already since its next thursday and we're going away again this weekend. to WUDANG O_O known for their wushu-as said by Hajar. LOL



Highlights for today:
