paper clips

I used to have a box full of paper clips,
until there was an outpouring
of documents
like vomit
flowing freely,
filling every crevice of the Admissions and Records office.
The papers were picky
there would be five or six grouped together
They took away my paper clips.

But not to worry! My boss just got us a SHREDDER!!! wooohooo!!!

I can shred whatever i want!!!

EXCLAMATION MARK: No hand/fingers/neckties/hair

oh this is me before the most boring meeting ever...

oh, by the way, I got a new laptop [will totally blog about this later]. I had enough of Acer laptops for the mean time, and I decided to get myself an HP (Hentam Pantat...some ppl put it). Got it last Sunday, accompanied by the most chivalrous scandalous man ever, Mr. X... I thought I'd take pictures of the whole experience, from Bobae Tower to buy t-shirts for a camp we're going, to Phanthip looking for the perfect affordable laptop, to looking at handphones and swimming trunks at MBK... but i was too tired to even bother... the only pictures i took with my phone:

I have not sat in these public buses since 2004

it's hot and dusty

Bobae Tower, for those who want to buy in bulk

I was sinking down... Long way down into Bangkok's subway...they call it MRT here. (This was my trip down to the Malaysian Embassy in BKK)

How to get to the Malaysian Embasssy in Bangkok.

If you're starting from Victory Monument, take the BTS to Sala Deng. Make sure you switch to the Silom line at the Siam Interchange station. Disembark at Sala Deng, exit the BTS station and look for the MRT sign. Take the MRT at Si Lom to Lumphini. When you're in the MRT station, on the way to the Embassy, make sure you take the MRT headed to Bang Sue. After leaving Lumphini station, exit and walk along YMCA, Banyan Tree Hotel. You will pass the France and Germany Embassies. The Malaysian Embassy is right next to the Australian Embassy!

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...
