the religion of my lectuer...

Today Derric*k came NUS to interview someone therefore came to have lunch. I introduced him to the rest of the el majors and they asked something along the lines of, "Is he the Derric*k form your blog?" Later today, Derri*ck asked a similar question, "Were all those people at lunch on your blog?" So my friends think of my other friends as people from my blog.

Anyway, the more important thing. This is the second week of school and here are some weird things that I had noticed and talked about in school.

Firstly, my South Korean English Lecturer. Though he is from South Korea, I vaguely remember him saying that he's been in Singapore for about 6 years. Well, is 6 years a long time? I don't particularly feel that it is. But within this 6 years, he has totally changed his mindset about being Korean and Singapore. When referring to Singaporeans, he used the inclusive pronoun 'we' which included himself. [Example: We (Singaporeans) like to line up.] And when referring to South Koreans, he used the pronoun 'them' and excluded himself. [Example: They (South Koreans) love Kimchi.] I think he is now subconsciously Singaporean, otherwise he is really conscious when he speaks. Maybe that's why he speaks quite slowly.

Next, my American South Asian Lecturer. She teaches South Asian religions. And for this module, most of the time, I'm thinking if she believes in any of the religions that she is talking about. She talks about them so passionately and without bias for any one of them that I'm tempted to say she believes in all of them quite equally. I will find out her religion by the end of the semester.
