Day 28 lesson

With continuation of yesterday’s chapter of leadership, we watched clips of the movie Elizabeth, the movie portrayed Queen Elizabeth I as a very strong women which lead her country to war, even though she was female, she still gained the respect of her people. She was really smart, she made use of talent! Even though the man was in prison, she released him because he has a talent that no one has and that was he was great in the sea, so with his help they were able to win the war! Elizabeth was not only a leader; she was also a mother to the whole country.



Lessons went on after that. Nothing really happened during lesson time.
The peak of this day was that there was this couple fighting just across the road from our hostel, being very “kahpoh” Singaporeans, both yanting and I stood at balcony to watch this “free show”;the guy was really violent, throwing the girl here and there like some rag or some toy that he doesn’t want to play with anymore. All the girl did was scream and shout at him which I think was pointless, she should just go home and sleep!
Reflection:
I realised the man here in China aren’t as gentlemanly as those in Singapore, if they’re unhappy with their girlfriends they will just slap them across their faces or scold them so loudly till the people across the road can hear! Violence isn’t going to solve anything, sitting down and talking things out is way better then hitting someone cause nothing is going to be solved with violence!

Day 27 class in the afternoon!

Lesson was postponed to the afternoon, because one of our classmates had to go to the hospital the day before which lead to some delay for Miss Neo, thus postponing class. From what I heard, the school hospital didn’t accept him because he wasn’t a student here in WUST. In a way he was lucky because he was not in a life and death situation; however I felt that they are being very inflexible and unreasonable they could have just checked his temperature or what not and from there decide if he needs to go the bigger hospitals in the city.
We continued with PM in the afternoon, we learnt about leadership, a project manager has to know how to lead and not just sit there and wait for instruction. They also have to know their strength and weaknesses of their team members and delegate them jobs that are suited for them. The latter is very important because if someone is not suited for that particular task, their superior shouldn’t make them take on that task as it will not only cause trouble and problems, they would also have to.
Followed by lessons we went to Wal-Mart, to buy more snacks to bring back to Singapore! At the rate that we’re buying back we could easily set up a shop to sell!
