Campigning against ntu??

Campaigning against NTU??

I believe lots of ppl must have received this mail by now. And now he even make it to the Strait Times. I wonder how will NTU react to such student or live with it? Or perhaps this may start the trend of openly protest against whatver grievances they might have. Regardless they are your employers or the society itself. Well, we should applaud his courgeous act. Singaporeans are afterall conservative and will just accept any grievances that might come in their way without voicing them out. And well, Im guilty of it too.

An email extract:

Dear student,

Do you need a course instructor that can speak proper English?


The purpose of this email is to looking for committee members and other interested party to form an informal committee to deal with the school regarding all issues that students think is important to solve. Please delete this email if you are here just to study. I am looking for people who want to improve the university system. I am looking for those with courage and willing to spent time to do something extremely meaningful. I need real man and ladies who have great leadership. There is no certificate given to committee members and also no pay for you. This is an event after the exam. (Hence it wouldn’t affect your study.)

We might be organizing large scale protest to gain awareness. Delete it if you only care your own business.

Disclaimer: This in not an email initiates an agenda to overthrow the student union or any other illegal action.


Dear students,

Now we shall proceed with the email.
Yes we have been passive for many years; we are brought up in this kind of environment. Yes, our school is doing quite well in the world. We are rank 48. I hope you are very happy with it.

Yet, there is some question to think about.

We have been asking for course instructor that can speak proper English!

Are we asking too much from the school? Hey we are the customer of the university. I am a scholar (I am not trying to show u how good I am as a scholar), I don’t pay the tuition fees, But think about those who pay their tuition fees, when tuition fees is raising, yet year after year, the lecturer (who cant speak proper English) that we keep complaining is still teaching, how you feel? what is the reason behind it?

What if my lecturer is a noble prize winner who cannot speak proper English, do I learn from him?

When we want more places in special semester, the school has not enough resources, yet they are buying chairs that price SGD2000 a piece.

What if I can get goodies bags, free ice creams, free T-shirt, free this free that, yet the union have no power over important issues.

And more and more issue are to be discuss…

I am proposing to have a group of student with great leadership to come together to form a committee to deal with the school.

Time and money are expected to be spent. Nothing can be claim back. We do not have grant here. It might be the 1st time in history of NTU that student can deal with school in a serious and legal way.

We are dealing with your problem. Think about it, are you satisfied with the university system? There should be a man(it could be a woman as well, I am not discriminating female) to stand out to lead the students to claim a stake in the university. We want to be consult for important university decision.

Student, what are you waiting? Stand up and fight for your consumer rights or you will be given low quality education for your years here. Be confused in the lecture by not understanding the English your lecturer use or stand up and speak up, the choice is yours.

For more information, reply to this email or contact me at 91522700.

I know I do not use good English, please don’t call me or reply to me and tell me this. That is why I need you here!


Regards,

Emerge 2006

Emerge 2006 (part 1)

Any idea what's that? Emerge 2006 is a production by NUS CAC Voices. It's my first time watching a sch production. Overall thumbs up for the show. Great storyline. Great female vocalists. They definitely can sing sia. But the male voalists a bit let down except for two i think. Perhaps the female vocalists make them sounds bad. Whaha. Oh ya. The envelop they make is nice. The little gift they gave to the audience is cute too. I will continue this next time.

So sianzz dont feel like blogging anymore. Think i will hibernate for a while. All those who are feeling sick do take care lor.

Bloooooooooooooowwwwww. This blog has been collecting tons of dust by now. Can any kind soul help to keep this blog clean and tidy? Oh well suddenly nowdays there's lots of news to be digest. Those who like politics can stay tune to the upcoming general elections. There's also the NS bonus given by the government, the uni fee hike and the infamous Tammy's sex video. So which is your area of concern?

Anyway been busy with work lately, so this explains the lack of updates. Just catch up with a fren of mine, S recently and discovered that she's very stressed. She was telling me that how she wished that she was a tall guy. She mentioned that currently it seems that she's the only ntu gal who is single now. haha. What a joke. There's lots of single ntu gals out there. Or maybe she's refering to her circle of frenz. Then she asked me if she's ugly or she gives ppl bad first impression. The problem with gals nowdays.Haizzzz.

Then she tok about height. She said that if she is a tall guy, being tall will overlap all other qualities so she will not have any worries staying single. What a nice theory right? It seems that being tall is so good that I never realised. Perhaps normally tall people is being labelled as brainy smart, sporty and so on. But I dare to say this is not the case. More than often im benig tagged with qualities that I dont even mentioned behind. People out there just assumed that I have such qualities. So is this good or bad? For eg, tall person should know how to play basktetball etc...

Then this bring me to another qns. Will gals prefer height to anything else ideally or some other factors count in? This qns is open to all who viewed this entry. Well according to S, she said that tall ppl usually leaves impression in girls' mind. Hence the little things that the guy do will be noticable by the girls and so in the girls' mind, she will subconsciously develop a liking towards the guy. haha. Interesting theory right. Btw she's a arts undergrad so her logic is so arty-farty. And also, no offence to those who are short hor.

Well, the tall vs short, rich vs poor, charming vs ugly topics can go on and on. I think in everything you do you just have to follow your heart that will be good enough. S don't be so pessimistic. Your mr right will come along soon la. Dont need to worry about such stuff. Perhaps recently Cupid run out of arrows or his bow kena stolen?
