Lecturers nowadays...

Being lecturer specific here, a few actually, but I am not going to name them (directly). You know, lecturers (teachers) nowadays do a blog search about posts regarding them.

First on the list: The die-die-do-it-my-way lecturer.
Mr A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q U S T U V W X Y Z *name*
This lecturer, forbids you to approach a question in another way other than his. Worst of all, he demands you to use a specific coloured pen to draw a specific line on a specific page.

Second: The Oh-everything-is-so-not-going-anywhere lecturer.
Mr Fuck Ruhua
Criticize almost everything except his own works. *Blah blah blah*, results? NOTHING...... *Blah blah blah*, results? NOTHING...... *Blah blah blah*, results? NOTHING...... *Blah blah blah*, results? NOTHING...... *Blah blah blah*, results? NOTHING...... Goes on forever. Gives a 狗眼看人低feeling (look down on others).

Third: The one-week-change-once-clothing a.k.a forever-chewing-something lecturer.
Mr 令狐冲 (A character in Jin Yong's novel "Swordsman")
Always see him with the same 2 set of shirts walking around the campus; and when during the new year he appears with a new set of shirt and pants, everyone is so excited.

Fourth: The forever-having-orgasm lecturer.
Ms Sneezing
Well, according to our blackie, she sounded like she is always having the orgasm.

Fifth: The 3cm-thick-5cm-diameter-spectacles
Mr Red Lips
The nickname says it all! :D

Many more, can't recall now.

Food Hygiene

Yes, you guessed right. I am here to warn others about a (in my point of view) fucked up stall.

Singapore Polytechnic Foodcourt 4 Ban Mian

Although I frequent FC4 almost everyday, but till now, 2.735294118 years since I came into SP, I only ate from that stall 4 (or 5) times. And guess what? I am just that lucky to receive a bowl of noodles from that stall with a bug. Poor, dead, roasted, stewed and marinated bug, about 57/113 the size of the nail of your little finger (that, of course excludes people like *you know who*, who has freaking long little finger nails).

When I found the bug, I 'what the fuck'-ed and stomp back to the stall. I waved to him, pointed to him the bug and kept quiet. Then, I heard the two girls, who were waiting for their noodles, exclaimed *out of my vocabulary*-ly, :"咦~~~为什么有虫的~~~???!!! (Eeeee~~ Why got bugs one~~~???!!!)". I am not sure if they managed to finish their noodles. He apologised 4 times in total. Refunded me my money, and offer to prepare a new bowl.

The bug here is not the main focus, because eating that bowl of noodles may (would) not result in any deaths or uncomfort. But, isn't just disgusting? To find a bug in your food. Lucky for me, I was still stirring the noodles when I saw it. Imagine you only saw it until you finish your last strand of noodles. You would curse and swear (not for someone who enjoys eating bugs). Well, if for me, I wouldn't be just returning the noodles, I will call upon the NEA. I will not just keep quiet and show him the bug 'sleeping' there, I will make sure the whole FC gets to hear what I say. I will not just make do with a refund, I will make them lose their licence.

Moving on to the refund. Now, this is my main point. With his right hand holding to the bowl, passing on to my right hand, his left hand holding on to $3, trying to pass on to my left hand, below the bowl, trying to hide his act of refunding. What does this mean? What does this look like? Maybe you can't visualise the whole situation, so let me tell you, the whole scene looks like bribery. Trying to save some reputation? Fat hope! I am going to tell everyone. BlehXz. :P

And one more thing. I saw a guy, helping himself with more anchovies (ikan bilis). While caught red handed by the guy inside, his reaction was: "诶！不可以，很贵的。。。你没有付那么多钱，不要拿酱多！(Oi, very expensive, this one. You never pay so much, don't take so much.)" Come on! Anchovies expensive? Who the fuck are you trying to kid? Noodles + veges + meat + egg. Collecting $3 still not making money? Taking a few more anchovies will make you bankrupt? Don't be an ass! Pucker! (With a 'P'~~~~, as quoted from "SHH").

I have said my piece. I am not going to eat from that stall ever again, so does my friend(s). How about you?

Save the Earth(?)

Still remember the concert that stretched across 7 continents on 07/07/07? That was a call for people to "save" the Earth. And now I am blogging about "saving" the Earth.

Nope, I am not trying to "promote" "saving" the Earth, but I am here to ask :

The concert ended with rubbish, literally and figuratively.

Tons of rubbish left behind by viewers of the concert was so much helpful to "save" the Earth. Imagine the monoxides produced by incinerating them. I think the Earth liked it very much.

No doubt, the concert did awaken many people to the "importance" of "saving" the Earth, but is it enough? NO!

Its very common to see recycle bins around Singapore nowadays. However, how often do you see people using them? OR, how often do you see old people digging cans and papers from these bins for their living? OR, how often do you come across a fully filled bin; with the excess just being thrown at the sides of the bin? OR, have you ever seen them catch fire? OR, (you get what I mean).

"Save" the Earth? Great effort by the civilians and government.

Take public transport, that's the way. Yet, more and more trucks and lorries are moving around the roads of Singapore to transport building materials. Development: another great way to "save" the Earth.

If you did pay some attention while you were on the train, you would have noticed how many places are building buildings (English, weird -.=). Beyond Boon Lay Station (2 upcoming stations and a LRT system), Boon Lay station (former bus interchange), Lakeside station (Lakeshore condominium), Chinese Garden station (along the lake), Jurong East Interchange (IMM, infront of IMM, somewhere around International Business Park), Clementi station (Tradehub 21, former bus interchange), Dover station (SP), Buona Vista 'Interchange' (MRT Circleline).

Wow! All the way from beyond Boon Lay straight to Buona Vista, you have trucks, cranes, bulldozers, humans, .etc giving away 'gases'. Not to mention other places like Somerset, beyond Marina Bay (future), IR, Sentosa, any other places with MRT Circleline, future MRT Downtown line, (I can't finish mentioning them).

Again, "saving" the Earth? Great effort by the government and developers.

The importance of money, still overrules the need to save the Earth, for now, as shown by the government.

So, why waste your efforts to "save" the Earth? Only to be overpowered by developments.

Preparing for the worst

Imagine this situation: You just bought a new phone. Happy and so, stored all contacts into it, and you lost it the next day. Few hundreds of contacts gone.

Or imagine this: You calculated how much your retirement needs. Did all necessary arrangements and preparations so that you can retire. One day, after you retire, you fell ill, spent all your retirement money, you recover fully, but you are left with nothing.

These are still not the worst scenarios that can happen. Still, they are enough to make you feel like an idiot. There is nothing you can do. You can't turn back time. You can't get back to your original status for most cases. You just can't, even with money or power.

My phone almost died on me today, and the first thing I did when I reach home was to start backing up my contacts. Typing them onto a word document, name by name, alphabet by alphabet. Now, that's preparing for the worst.

Although (bad) things may not be necessary at all happening in your life, precautions still had to be made. Make sure everything had been taken care of. Imagine the worst case scenario. Make arrangements. Waste time. It's worth it. Even if your precautions never had a chance to be utilised, enjoy the satisfaction of being safe.

Crap, I feel like I am advertising for insurance companies. Whatever may be, prepare for the worst.

Adults nowadays...

Day in day out, we hear the older generations teaching us to be courteous, but do they really practice it?

Do you disturb and demand people to reply you when they are on the phone? Do you "request" to see something that someone else is reading? Apparently, older generations like to do it. That is their apprehension of courtesy.

Been to a wedding dinner recently, and these things did happen. I was obviously on the phone and busy with stuffs, but they don't seem to care. They continue talking to me and asking me questions, this and that, endlessly, as if they will never ever get another chance to talk to me. Yes, I do have two ears, but they can only work cooperatively not individually (even if they do, there is only one brain processing).

Also, while looking at the menu for the day, one of them said to me :"Is this the menu? Let me see. (and proceed to move her hand towards the menu I am holding on to)". She could well just say:"Can I have a look at it?". "Can" still sounds demanding, but still, asking; rather than just demanding it.

You have seen the older generations "disciplining" the younger generations just off the streets, many times. Some of them was necessary, while some of them were just redundant. But have you seen the older generations being ticked off when they did something un-courteous, wrong, or annoying? No. Because we were all taught to not talk to strangers. Whatever.

Just why is it that younger generations have to put off with older generation's nuisances? Just because you older generations can't get use to seeing (看不惯) something that us younger generations are doing, doesn't give you the authority to chup jit kah (poke their noses into the matter). Just because us younger generations didn't tick you older generations off, doesn't mean you are right. Its because we are avoiding trouble.

Is it not funny that the moment we voice our views (of the older generations) to them, we are being rebutted with:"Oh! How can you talk back to me? I am your older generation. I ate salt more than you ate rice. You should listen to me. You are rude."? If you do eat that much salt, you shouldn't be still alive, much more to say to discipline us. If we were rude, so are all those who "scolds" younger generations in the public. And yes, I would like to listen to you on how to use the computer, since you said so.

Not that I say that all of us younger generations are right, but when you older generations are faced with reasoning rather than "don't kaypoh/diam la/your problem arr?", you should start rethinking if the society have changed, or were you really wrong.

Generation gaps, caused by older generations being unwilling to accept modern reasoning.
