Day 14- OIE lesson and Physiology lesson

Today's OIE lesson is about Chinese Philosophy.And it feels like I've gone back to my secondary school chinese lessons again.. Why? Because we learnt some famous mottos by Chinese Ancient Sages. To write it simply, they're just those chinese phrases I was forced to memorise last time. Hahaha.. Apparently, I've forgotten a lot of them :P It has been more than a year since I last touch chinese.

Below is a photograph of the classroom and my teacher. She's playing for us a video in chinese -.- I couldn't understand it... I only found the cartoon characters amusing. Hehehe...

After lunch, we had our Physiology lesson and after that, went back to our room and do tutorial.

Reflection
Though today's OIE lesson was a bit boring and dry, I was reminded of the chinese phrases I used to learn. That brings me back to how we always remember the phrases because of the story behind it. And it's interesting to find out how people come out with so many different stories and ends up with a phrase that is used to describe something. I think that's one of the beauties of Chinese language; where there are always stories linked to whatever is present now. (Eg. Ancient artefacts or pictures always have a story to tell, the chinese phrases also have a story behind it, etc)
