Time passes so fast and the module has ended with our presentations going at full blast. Of the whole module, I would say presentation has been the most interesting of all. Having to sit through presentations (almost everyone's, apologies to those whose presentations I missed!) of our project and learning about so many different things, it has really taught me how each and everyone's understanding of speech events and language use can be so different in so many ways! I have definitely learnt alot about cultural differences and definitely feel that the more understanding we achieve about each other's language due to the influence by various cultures, the more we would definitely live in harmony with one another's differences.
Last of all, I would like to thank Dr Deng for setting up this module and also my apologies for not attending some classes due to my weak body and accidents! (So much things happening for a year!) Bidding for this module was definitely quite hair raising! I saw there was only so little slots available and the points just kept going up and up. I was hoping to get it and I did! I'm glad the module was fun and enjoyable and unlike all others I have taken. In any case, I'm still happy that I took this module and am actually quite sad that its over so fast! Though I'm happy yet again the assignment deadlines are gone.
And also, I'll like to thank Christine and Ghafur for putting up with my incessant troubles and worries. You guys have been a great team to work with! My apologies for all the troubles I gave you all!
To all my other classmates, hope you all enjoy the module as much as I did and hope we keep and apply what we learnt about each other's cultural differences and be tolerant towards each other! To people like Say Wee and Eileen, remember to say Hi to me if we meet each other again at ADM! Ha! Good luck for all the coming examinations and I wish everyone good luck and all the best!
