Knowing my PRC classmates better...

due to a module.. which is entirely labwork and pre-grouped.. and i am in the same gp as a PRC scholar.. i get to interact much more with PRC students..

in my cls, there are a total of 4 of them... all guys.. and v studious..
hmmmm,althou chem eng has fixed cls for 4 yrs...
we dun realli get to interact in lectures n tut..
tat explains why we r stil nt close to them

i recall in sem 1.. when we have tis guy fm philippines born in 1986 as our cls mate..
i guess he reali look forward to uni life coz he actuly went to ivle to search for all our faces n printed them, placed it on e first page of his file..
i was v impressed.. and of coz a bit shocked initially..
i could tell he realli want to make frenz with us.. singaporean students..
oh well, as u might have guessed.. i tink Singaporean students aren't tat "friendly".. and he did not reali mingle into "US".. tat's rather sad rite?
the same applies to PRC scholars i guess...
ok.. even for me.. i onli stick to my clique most of the time.. ya lor...
stil rem in sem 1, me n zx actuly make an effort to be more friendly.. say more "hi's.. make more small talks.. with the scholars.. buti guess as e work pick up, or rather as we pon more lect n tut.. we dun see them often and.. ya.. so stil nt close..

BUT.. through this..
i do see another opportunity to interact with them..
i would now describe them as v
1. generous - my gp mate, GP actuly wanted to treat us lunch coz he gt his tuition pay.. of coz i rejected la. he earn money so xin ku lei..
2. cultural - GP has a lot of 古典音乐 and 相声 stuff in lis laptop lor.. and he is always v knowledgable.. he always ask me.. "呃，你知道XXXX是什么意思吗？你有听过XXXX吗？"
3. humorous.. yeah.. thou their humor a bit diff.. it's more cultural one.. like.."吃饱了事没饭做"
4. helpful.. will help explain hw lor..
5. well-informed.."你平时有看新闻的吗？".. oops.. i reali feel i 无地自容 lor..
6. self-motivated.. due to lang barrier.. they reali have to read up lor.. (actuly we also need lah).. but they take even more time to read english i guess..

so all in all..
v glad to have opportunity to work with them and they r indeed a bunch of v nice ppl.. haha..
oh.. i sort of feel that they r so nice. they r easily bullied by us!..
oops. with GP's consent,.. xingyi n i actuly explored his laptop's photo folder,.. and managed to DIG out many many secrets abt him.. haha. and another cls mates one... hee hee
