Essay ~ethnic integration policy conducted by Singapore government~

Today is a due day of our first draft!! Since my USB was broken (I don't know why), I wrote my first draft twice and that kept me awake till 5:30 this morning..;P
I had a big concern about my essay..that is.. my essay seems not to be argumentitive. I mean, I use many words for explaining ethnic integration policy conducted by Singapore government, and my statement is not strong.  ummmm...
However, Ken gave me wonderful advice in the class! So, I will try my best to state my thesis statement strongly by using the content of body paragraph effectively! I will make a littele change of my thesis statement :D Thank you very much Ken, Mari and Yoshiki!!!

A Short Film that I Recommend You to See

Today, I happened to know a short lecture given by Nick Vujicic who is a handicapped person in AASP class. One of my AASP members uses this film in his presentation.
I think this lecture has strong messages for us and it may help us to think what is the real meaning of "obstacle." We can learn very important things by watching the film, too. This film even made me cry,,, seriously.  In addition, it is very good source that we think about handicapped people.
I heard that some of  BI mates plan to write about handicapped people. I wish this film is valuable for my friends especially planning to write about this topic!

What I'm thinking these days. Of course including my essay topic!

It's Tuesday! 3 days before "TGIF"! :P
These days, I 'm thinking about many many things.. about my essay topic (of course!), my life style (I'm eager to practice ballet & piano again!), my future, my attitude of studying and my love affair (last one is joke XD).. Sometimes I feel really stressed and tired of thinking. But I cannot help thinking these things..oh..But fortunatelly my frieds especially BI mates give me a lot of  power, so I can try to think those things in positive way. Also the words, "Life is an unwritten book and you are the author," always give me a hint to behave everything in my own way.

Anyway..
I'm thinking of writeing about Singapore where many different ethnic people (e.g. Malay, Chinese, Indian, ) live peacefully.
its history, government policy, religeous, housing, cultural differences..etc.
I have not decided which points I will focus on. I'm going to decide them step by step!
