Thoughts

After 3 weeks of study in the USA....this is what I observed and appreciate.... 1. Kudos to Singapore's transport system! I really understand the chinese proverb now ("身在福中不知福") cuz the transport system in NC is sooooooooooo bad! There arent even cabs around...you have to book them in advance! But then again....US has very good inter-state highways....They can link you all the way from the East to the West. 2. I just took a "Media Studies" test today. OMG....all the questions on the review sheet came out! And thats it! No surprise questions! The questions they ask are co-related..and kinda dumb I think. Let me give you an example: What is a fire alarm that disturbs a reader? a) Semantic noise b) Mechanical noise c) Environmental noise - Answer __________ happens when your pen runs out of ink? a) Semantic noise b) Mechanical noise - Answer c) Environmental noise As long as you don't repeat your answer twice..and know for sure at least 2 of the options..you will get all 3 questions right! 3. The black community are more fashionable then the white community. Period 4. Toilet paper/Tissue paper. Yeah....it costs around US$8 for 3 boxes of tissue paper. Can you believe that? 5. Cant remember the rest of the points I wanna say...anyway...will update again!
