Welcome To My Life

i read w great amusement about the by now famous love proposal that happened in NUS a few wks back.i had heard of it through some frens but it actually came out in the papers.Thanks to the guts of the guy,the gal is feeling traumatised now i think.u can read more abt her thoughts. this is her blog.. As for both of them,i guess their lives,at least for the coming months will never be the same again.because this has been one piece of news that even made it to the Sunday Times today.tongues will wag,gossips will flow,eyes will stare.well,what else?FAME?or jus some publicity that they won't want?The girl could just be the next big thing online..guess when that happens,who should she thank?
for me,i guess for this to happen in an Asian community is alittle unexpected.As mentioned,even our foreign counterparts in the 'White' countries has taken notice of this incident.heh..Its not even as if they are together.So how did the guy expect her to react?and aren't we Asians supposed to be more laid back?Engineering fac?No offence but isn't this the place where muggers supposedly rule the roost?okok..guess i m just being sterotypical.i for one,do know a few cool dudes from NUS engine..
But i must say if NTU had such an "on" lecturer,one that actually blends in with the young env tt he's teaching in,the learning environment would be a tad better.i can't believe a professor actually had a part to play in this proposal.
Instead,we haf an Indian who speaks as if he's singing to the whole LT,a Cheena from China who speaks English in a way understood only if u really put your 110% listening power to.I wonder why they can't get NORMAL tutors for stats.
A professor that comes late every lesson since the very first tutorial.Keeps talking about how good he is etc..okok..to be fair,he did not actually say that he's good.well,but we (my frens and i) din study for more than a decade to not realise what he's actually implying.Being late is one thing,ending early is another.wow..if that is actually what a professor is getting paid for,i will try hard to study till that level.my routine in future (if i ever become a stats tutor).modified from him.
1.come to class LATE in the same shirt everytime (ok..to be fair,he may have MANY MANY of the same shirts.or maybe that particular shirt is reserved for THURSDAY)
2.sit down.
3.refer to his answers for tutorial.
4.crap alittle of his lame jokes (wow..i din know that there was actually a relationship between amount of perfume sold and weather.i guess we learn something new everydat.
5.say how good his so and so Gladys or whoever is.
6.promote FYP and its importance if u want to get a fat expat pay overseas.
7.hey presto,before u know it,its end of lessons.0945am?9am?(e last tut tt we had.)time for breakfast.
8.good job isn't it?come to class for an average of 30-45mins each time.appear in some financial shows once in awhile.and take home a 6 figure annual pay.Wow..life is easy...
MORAL OF THE STORY: its possible to land a job (with a fat pay,mind u) in some Big city if u get drunk once every two nights.or jump into the so-called canal behind zouk and be rescued by guys,exposing yourself in the process.
ermm..the water body seems like a river to me and its actually quite deep.
