i just listened to a h3 art lecture on ‘East Asian art’ aka Chinese art.
and i was in English! i mean if it was contemporary chinese art it probably wouldn’t have seemed so strange. but we are talking about the shang, han, ming and qing danasties!! it reminds me of chinese culture lessons in Nanyang. Yes… we had chinese culture lessons or in our own words then, our slack period of the week because we hardly paid full attention to the lessons. But i never thought i would say this… i wished i had listened to my chinese culture teachers then. having a minor chinese art lesson about traditional chinese danasty period in English is just not the same. it is weird..
then huijun showed me the collar pin she got from NJ for grad gift. The same one i got with the tiny words "2007/2008". Except. Hers was different! instead of the words i had on mine, hers wrote "2005/2008". the reason? she is an IP student and has been in the school for four years! I was quite shocked that the school actually bothered to make that distinction! And even i know how the collar pins are still mass-produced and all, BUT- with that realisation, it seems to have became a more sincere gift with more feelings. They did think through the collar pins afterall. i will keep mine well. 🙂
