i just got back from the dorm and i'm here in the computer lab waiting for my laptop! i want it now because i want to chat with my mommy! boohooo! there was the english club meeting just now and i was selected as one of the debate team member! how bad can that be! the last time i was in a debate was like 7 months ago. I was in the debate team in the National Service... =p

no classes till next year, how fun can that be?! i talked to lisa this morning and she told me that she would be leaving for new york, then to hong kong, and hawaii the following night! i want to go too! i hope i had all the cash in the world to buy stuff and travel but i know that won't happen in a million light years! can't wait for this sabbath, roy and amy going to sing a song which was an effort of both me and amy, and probably inspired by roy! i like working with them because it's sort of like developing my skills in playing around with my piano cords...and i've always sucked in cords! anyways, exam is next week, and i am feeling tense now! it's like soooooooooooo close to the end of the school semester and i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guess what, i was chatting with my mother and amy suddenly invited that i accompany her to saraburi! i was like hmmmm... should i go? well, i did go and i don't regret going! i actually enjoyed going, i changed my US dollars and went window shopping, bought dunkin' doughnuts! so sedap! hihihihihi, first time naik motosikal@taxi mahal again that, 80 baht! then we went looking for christmas card and then went and makan! i can't wait to go down to bangkok!

What Exactly is ICC?

Arasaratnam and Doerfel's (2005) study on defining intercultural communicative competence (ICC) may be dated, but I believe their discussions are very relevant to the current situation of ICC.  Their study aimed to define ICC from a grounded exploratory approach.  Their reasoning behind this is because of the subjective understanding of what intercultural is, and what competence is.  Communication, from an intercultural perspective, is typified as spoken discourse. To come to a definition of ICC, the study interviewed a group of international and local students studying in an American university.  The students were asked what they thought ICC is, and what they thought are key components of a person who is interculturally competent.  Though responses were diverse, a common thread was induced. But would this common thread still be applicable to different cultural contexts?  Probably from a qualitative perspective it would be, but perhaps not if viewed wit...

Unwelcomed

Picture taken from the bus stop I was waiting at.  The structure with the curved roof is the bigger bus stop. Since arriving here, I’ve heard a lot of stories about International Students getting beaten up or mugged or both.  At times I was skeptical when I was told about stories like this, but I believed it, most of the time.  We can’t deny that word of mouth is sometimes sensationalized.  On Thursday nights, shops all over Newcastle will open longer than usual.  This is to give students as well as other people the chance to do some late night shopping or simply hang around.  Last Thursday night, Bill, Jen, and myself were at the bus stop waiting for Bill’s bus to come.  It was half past eight and we were at a bus stop waiting for Bill’s bus to arrive.  We talked for a bit, and realized that we were supposed to wait at the smaller bus stop facing the larger one.  We crossed the road and walked towards the bus stop.  There were on...

now i know how it feels

to be the one standing near escalators, or on the side walk, trying to grab people's attention. Today I was promoting the International Students Volunteer at the orientation program the uni had for the new students. I volunteered to run around the courtyard and wait at the entrance for people who were passing by. I did manage to get quite a number of flyers out. However, I had many futile attempts in getting people to grab a flyer. A girl literally ran when she saw me extending my hand out to her; a guy said his hands were full; another guy took the flyer and left it at the table behind me; another guy (who was from the goon society) came up to me and started dancing... I asked him, why are you dancing, and he said: why not? then it dawned on me...yes, it's the goon society, all they do is drink and be merry (they did drink a lot, i saw them going back and forth refilling their table with booze from the godfrey tanner bar right behind the expo room where we were - and th...
