Tempus fugit, how time flies.
[6]
This year is the 8th year I have been Singapore
[11]
I come Singapore in 2012
[15]
Today is Singapore 55th National Day
[17]
I want record a video log for what it is like live in Singapore
[21]
And share my story in Singapore
[25]
She is Li Huang
[29]
She will help me to sharing my story and let me relax
[33]
I came to Singapore in 2012
[36]
I share a bedroom with other 3 girls at beginning
[39]
Renting house experience is unforgettable
[46]
Because, when I come to Singapore, I start miss my family
[51]
I treat my friends as my family member
[55]
We take care of each other
[57]
We go school together, watch the movie and study
[63]
That's a great memory
[65]
But we are little girl in that time
[67]
we bicker over sth. unimportant. sometime
[71]
Now, I know that is because we need broaden our horizons
[76]
Sometime we hold different view， so we need more communication
[82]
My friends give me this important lesson
[86]
Getting along with a good friend is a experience of seeking common ground while reserving differences
[90]
No leaves are the same
[92]
People always prefer friends who have a lot of common point
[97]
But as long as you get along with friends, you will find there is lot of different place
[103]
Maybe we need empathy
[105]
Put yourself in someone else's shoes, may help you solve a lot of problem with friends
[111]
If you have a plan come to Singapore
[114]
Or you just come to Singapore
[119]
Or you have been here few years
[121]
Second point is very important
[123]
Pay attention to sun protection
[126]
If you take note about weather forecast in sinagpore
[129]
You can find the average temperature is around 26 or 27
[135]
There's too much sun here.
[140]
I came Singapore 8 years age
[142]
Now I looks quite different from I just come here
[149]
Compare with my Chinese friends
[153]
I envy their beautiful skin
[156]
because I got a lot of sun exposure here
[161]
The third point is I learn from Singapore university
[164]
unpretentious soared practicality, responsible humbled integrity.
[166]
I remember when I was in school, teacher give us a homework
[170]
This homework is a survey
[174]
Record people's view about a news
[179]
This homework require us to collect data
[183]
And data should be come from normal people
[186]
But I remember, My Chinese classmate
[189]
They search the data from internet
[193]
Or depends on experience
[196]
Or imaging and make the fake data
[201]
But Singapore student spend a lot of time to do the research
[206]
I was deeply impressed
[209]
One of my Singapore classmate print one million questionnaire survey
[213]
To let people do this survey in the street
[217]
Maybe they spend a lot of time in these not major course
[224]
That cause Chinese student got higher mark than them
[229]
But I believe they got valuable experience and knowledge
[233]
This is very important lesson in my life
[237]
I write down this in my life notes
[240]
I think we need take responsibility about very task in our life
[245]
Not use our own yardstick to measure what is or is not important
[250]
Especially with data, is different with other things
[254]
Data is quite sensitive
[259]
Because I can find there are lot of fake data from famous website or apps
[268]
That's.....
[271]
angry
[273]
When I see this fake data, it bring to my mind to my Singapore classmate
[277]
Who go to street and collect people's view seriously
[283]
Is there anyone care about what's people view
[287]
Or maybe the mainstream media controlled people's voice?
[292]
If you are do media related work or collect data
[298]
Please make it real
[302]
The second thing I learn from Singapore people
[307]
Modest attitude
[308]
And they will try them best to help you
[314]
I remember I have ask a question to my teacher in the bus
[319]
She do not know the answer
[323]
But she take out her notebook immediately
[328]
And record down my question
[331]
One week past
[334]
She send me a PPT with 5 pages to answer my question
[341]
It really touch me
[343]
The other story is about my classmate
[346]
He has deep research in a major course
[350]
And he is a good student
[354]
He point out the error when teacher make mistake in class
[358]
So the teacher give him one hour in next class
[363]
Let him share the experience about how to learn this course and answer student's question about this course
[374]
He can by the broad mind universal love each student
[377]
For us progress largely depend upon the exchange and communication of academic ideas.
[385]
The 5th point
[387]
is Singapore people's social skill
[392]
Everyone can practice their speech skill when they was child
[395]
Singapore‘s educate make everyone stand in front and give speech with confident
[402]
They teach people how to speak out their view fluently
[406]
This ability is very important
[408]
they practice speech from child
[410]
And compare with Chinese education
[413]
Students may feel nervous when speech in the class
[419]
When we grow up, we will become very shy
[423]
Singapore's education always encourage you to speak it out
[427]
People never laugh you, and they will give you feedback
[432]
This social ability is very helpful when we grow up
[436]
The six point, is a very funny part I found
[441]
This point I found when I communicate with Singapore young people
[448]
They like to coin a phrase and use old words
[453]
For example, you talk to them: auntie's baby so cute
[456]
They will response: You know why?
[459]
That is because people is lovely at beginning
[463]
They like use this old sentence
[467]
Then you feel.....
[469]
Or if you buy lichee
[472]
They will say, I suggest you don't finish it at one times
[476]
Because, you know, one lichee with three fire
[480]
Then I feel these word sounds like my grandmother told me
[484]
The next point is Singapore people drink too many drinks
[488]
Perhaps, because Singapore's weather
[491]
People need some cool down drinks
[493]
But my opinion is: they drink too much
[496]
When I was a student
[499]
Have a drinks before class, and one more after class
[503]
Now I'm have a job, during my work
[506]
My colleague like buy canned drinks down steer or make a drink in canteen
[514]
Summary： people drink all the time
[516]
They have a few chance to drink mineral water
[520]
Still long way to go for quit sugar
[524]
Singapore people like bland food
[529]
In the third and fourth years
[533]
I go back to my hometown, and I ask mother, why our food taste salty
[539]
father, have you give a lot of soy sauce?
[544]
My tastes have changed
[546]
Eat salt lesser is better
[549]
And Singapore people appreciation of different cultures and taste
[555]
for example, we have India colleagues
[557]
When they birthday, We will organised to have India food
[561]
And Chinese colleague also
[564]
We may have a hotpot party
[567]
Enjoy different culture
[570]
The last point is why this country will survive and why successful
[577]
firm will
[581]
Let’s watch the speech from Lee kuan yew
