Zits

Tedson - i love using the color accent mode!! sungguh awesome!

who's waiting on my bed?

Gawai-Keaamatan party

duong... and that's me in the really small screen..

from Casell's book of humurous quotes: I could totally identify with this quote... let me just retype it because it's kinda blurry: CELEBRITY (after a lengthy monopoly of the conversation) "But enough about me; let's talk about yourself. Tell me - what do you think of my part in the new play?" :P

Oreo and I... this is Ivonne's hamster

Zits. It's like me having period. At the end of every month, I'll have zits popping around my face. Am I more hormonal at the end of every month? I don't know. I probably should start keeping a record, probably I could write something up and publish it and get famous.

I went to Saraburi today, by bus! Haven't been to Lotus & Twikit via public transport since my Dad came.. to be more precise, since my Dad bought the car. Did not buy much, socks, pizza, tape.. that's about it.

Tomorrow's work day again. I'm thinking whether it's worth dressing up for work tomorrow. Some government minister's gonna be visiting Saraburi and MC is so fortunate to host his meeting with the fellow Saraburi-ans. I guess the college could use a little publicity. I'll just make sure I wander pass the TV crew every five minutes.

Oh yeah!! We had this Gawai-Kaamatan party on Saturday night. It was great!!! We had lots of fried chicken, curry, mee goreng, nasi kuning, PISANG GORENG, ikan goreng... basically everything goreng. Too bad I had gastric, couldn't enjoy much of the party... probably got it from that really boring music committee meeting... or probably it was the choir practice after the meeting. After the party had a little hang out session with friends at Deanna's apartment... got to watch The Hills Have Eyes 2. Even though all the killing scenes were deleted... I still hid under the pillow!

Okay... am showcasing some pictures taken during the week... with my phone and also the camera which my loving brother, Shaun gave me.

Oh by the way, I had the chance to hold an Iphone today while shopping at Saraburi... and got to see my Theology friend dancing his butt away at Pizza company...

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...
