To start of the day,there's a EIR TEST! Since it is a E.I.R (effective internet research), we had a test online blackboard. Well, out of 20 questions, I managed to hit the borderline! "just NIce ah!" Through the test today, I realize that I am unclear of the topic on the invisible web. For that, I will look through the lecture notes again.
Now, I shall put the Test matter aside and move on to the exciting part of the DAY!
The lesson is very interesting and interactive!! "Just talk cock ah!"
The talking cock site (www.talkingcock.com) is indeed the typical Singapore language. Especially singlish dictionary. I have discovered new singlish language besides the typical lor, la, lo, hor. Talking cock site has achieved its purpose of talking cock and entertainment. It has lighten up the class with laughter and jokes. When we laughed at the site, we are actually laughing at ourselves. It is a reflection of us, Singaporean. In fact, once in awhile, laughing at ourselves is not a bad thing. hahaha... Just love the way Singaporean are! Uniquely US!
Beside all that, we were divided into 3 groups. My group was a role of foreigner worker. Each of the group sent a representative to share their point of views. During the sharing session, our class gave a little surprise to the birthday boy, YONG WEI! We gave him a surprise Birthday song immediately after his point of view of foreigner worker.

Back to topic, how would I react to this website if you were a foreigner worker? My answer is: If I were a foreigner worker, my mouth will open widely upon seeing the website. I couldn’t believe Singapore is so open and easy about own country. Is it true about Singapore? However on the other sides, it entertains me. There is interesting fact about Singapore. The singlish language is very unique in a way.
The criteria I have used are, purpose, coverage, accuracy, curreny. I feel that this four criteria is the best to evaluate the talking.com.
