shredder - a kitchen utensil?

lol, don't know if i'm supposed to review today's seminar ... but thought I'll do a short one anyway (I promise it will really be a short one).

I thought today's presentations were really interesting and insightful!! especially serene, yi ling and yi wen's topic on failed humor and the short ninja turtle clip. And so were the apology topics done by andy and anna, who knew that Singaporeans apologize more as compared to Swedish? It was really something surprising to learn of that - i guess it now comes back to our culture and how it is inculcated in us to apologize for such actions? Just my guess ... but I think Anna will have the best explanation, maybe we can ask her after she is done with her report? =) Gladwin presentation was really good too!! German requests~ indirect - I guess its the culture again? Of not offending people and collective action?

There was also the Malay culture done by Azhar and Nurhannah for compliment responses, sometimes I also get similar responses from the complimentee too! Like the upgrading part, I might say, "you look very nice today" and the other party will probably go "Wah, only today ah?" hahaha. But I have not encountering the part where the other party thinks that there is some ulterior motive behind the compliment. And the entry and exit during the Hari Raya visiting presentation from Nadia and Syafiah was really interesting, perhaps we can look at Chinese New Year and Deepavali visitation too? =]

Ok I'll end here ... see you next week!! =D
