We need to put ourselves in other's shoe. In other words , an attempt or imagination to understand other's point of view in his/her circumstances. So for this week we become a stakeholder. The roles for our group are a 45-year-old father, a 17-year-old student and a 30-year-old single bachelor.
Each of us takes different roles. For me, I am given the role to be a student.
Then, I asked my housemate,whom her friend is 17 y.o overseas student in Singapore. Below are about her friend. Assuming James is the name.
James is a 17-year-old overseas student in Singapore, studying in ERC. Compare to his country, the living cost in Singapore is high. Because he has given an opportunity from his parents to study abroad, James doesn't want to burden his parents too much.He tried to find an affordable living space for him to stay. He finally stay at an apartment in Novena which is not really far from his campus. The cost of one person room is 1100 SGD . The size of his bedroom is around 2m x 3m. He felt the difference between his house in Indonesia and the place he is living now. From living in three-storey house that has big kitchen, living room, bedrooms, etc. Now he is living in an apartment with small bedroom that just allows him to walk few steps inside , sharing kitchen and bathroom with others.
If i were James, i think i need to set and arrange my stuffs tidily or else my bedroom will be so mess up that can cause no space for me to do things. It could be difficult for me to do some of my activities because of the narrow space.
