"May The Force Be With You"

Today is the last day for the almighty Mr. Anderson to be with us in class, next week someone else will replace him in Culture & Society in Malaysia: Tutorial class. Today we discussed about racism. 'Why is race a sensitive issue?'. The discussion went on for quite some time even going as far as to religion and reasoning to things such as praying and religious beliefs and also the society's wrong idea of each culture and religion's beliefs. In the end, the reason is simply because humans are selfish beings. I don't know what it is about Mr. Anderson but he always makes sense.

Before class ended, he quoted the infamous quote that we all had waited long for, "I'll hunt you down and kill you.", "May the force be with you.". He also wished us good luck on our final projects.

After class, some of us joined Mr. Anderson yum cha at an Indian restaurant. We also had lunch there and we talked about various things. Mr. Anderson recommended us an anime movie, Grave of the Fireflies. He warned us to have tissue with us when watching the movie. Haha. I really like listening to Mr. Anderson, it's like listening to Mr. Colin. Both men are stern, bold, serious and influential but humorous. I really look up to people like them.
