Compulsory Modules

Today I found out that my friends from China had to take compulsory modules in…. Sports and Politics. I was like "huh?". It seems like they have to take at least 4 modules of sports. Specific sports like soccer, tennis, pool, etc. Not like our PE where the teacher decides what to do. And they had to take compulsory Tai Chi. Amazing huh? And if they dun pass their sports modules, they wont be able to get their bachelor certs. No wonder they are all fit and health conscious!

This made me wonder how that will be received if it is implemented in Singapore. I think chaos will reign. For not only do we have delicate ladies, we have delicate men too. It's a cool system though, but maybe because I'm not in it. Imagine being able to learn new sport events in Uni!!

They also had to take compulsory politics. That's a good thing imo. I have always wondered how my China friends know so much about their history and philosophical sayings (e.g. Confucius, Mao Zedong etc). The compulsory modules explains why. Sometimes when talking to them, I feel depressed that I can't remember much about Singapore history.

This week is the 2nd week of my holidays and... I still haven't done much. Haven't been feeling happy for the past few days... hopefully this stupid mood will pass.

Hava a great week ahead!
