Are you dumb?

Lecturer that you will never fall asleep in his lecture

One of the most popular videos among bloggers and expected i am not going to lose out on this.

How i wish Polytechnic survey feedback can be that open, at least for Temasek Polytechnic then i can openly crticised the lecturer i don't like which i always wanted to do but was never given a chance to do so.

This week i have learnt:

1) That the National Library Board (NLB) have run out of books to archive that they have started the project of archiving website.

2) That Singaporean should teach themselves basic manners if they don't wish or can't take the mockery made at them at rudesingaporean.blogspot.com instead of taking legal action against them.

<link>

3) That despite we are given the freedom of speech, we are still ranked 146th in the Reporters Without Borders Worldwide Press Freedom Index. Contradicting.

<full story>

4) That Deepa-raya is a new word to describe an event to celebrate both Deepavali and Hari Raya together. I am not lying, that's what i saw on the notice board at the lift lobby i am residing in.

5) That if you don't like people to be playing football to be flying into your flat, don't ever move to a place with basketball, street soccer court or even open field near where you live. Best solution, move to private housing because every public housing you move to, there will be kids playing football on either one of the places so no point writing to forum to complain on this situation.

6) That in order to encourage commuters to flag the bus early, SBS have launched the 'Flag the bus early' campaign. Maybe they should set a standard to commuters how many seconds later we should start flagging the bus upon seeing the bus coming from a distance.

<link>

7) That commuters should also have a campaign named ' Can bus driver stop showing that cocky face just because SBS is monopolising the Land Transport in Singapore?' because i personally find bus driver very cocky.

8) That Starhub is now offically the worst ISP (Internet Service Provider) that i have came across. Out of 10 times you consult them with problem relating to the internet, 9.5 times they will answer you, the problem lies with your PC. Please pay me the money because i feel i can do a better job giving better answers. Better and faster services? kiss my ass.

9) That an acceptable answer to answering an internet-related problem would be ' in usual case of such problem, 99% lies with the user and 1% lies with bad karma.'

10) That i like to end my Javducation with 10 learning points.

Saw this link in one of the blogs and decided to post it here also, a comedy skit done byTyler Creasman and David Rapa. as they were performing at the International Community School in Singapore on October 13, 2006 proving to us that we could win more people to Singapore if we focus on Speak Good Singlish campiagn and make Singlish an Uniquely Singapore language.

Using English to fight against bacteria

Was surfing EDMW when i came across this link

Excerpt:
Harvard evolutionary biologist Marc Hauser said that using grammar rules to decode genetics and medicine is growing more popular. But he said he worries that too many people are calling grammar what is really just simple code, not nearly as complicated as human language.

Teachers (e.g. Elise) out there, u might just found yourself a second job.

busy week, but nevertheless, still need to fork out some time for entertainment.

Despite a busy week, i learnt:

1) That teachers also can be part time hairstylist when exam is just around the corner.

2) That the so called acceptable hair in school is 'army style' hairdo, then might as well ask the student to 'drop 20' as part of punishment.

3) That its only a normal diarrhoea illness when students in 2 particular schools start falling sick but show different symptoms compare to the students in another 2 schools. I assumed that all of them must have eaten the same food from the same particular food stall before heading for school.

3) That an Lasik surgery package can offer you goody bags, cash vocher and a free 1 night stay in a 5 star hotel but can't offer you perfect eyesight.

4) That applying for an admin job in a MNC might just turn you into a financial adviser for Prudential.

5) That nowadays, even applying for a simple job in a company also need to go for a recruitment camp.

6) That finally, the over-rated footballer in the world, David Beckham have finally lose his appeal as the top modelling icon.

7) That even at the age of 105, you are never too old to be blogging and seeking for lover online, and you will become famous.

8) That if you are a chinese physician at the age of 105, there are women who are 50 years old your junior WILLINGLY applying to be your lover. Think its time for me to learn a bit about chinese medicine.

9) That when you are a NSF ( National Serviceman Full Time) people will start to question you why you are not booking in when they see you online after 8pm. I been asked at least 20 times

10) That there is at least half a dozen of Singaporean who do not know where and what is SDC (Singapore Discovery Centre)

Pre Booking in Syndrome

Seeking treatment for Pre Booking in Syndrome.

The syndromes are:

1) Having a feeling that one is falling sick.
2) Expreience a drop in morale.
3) Doing things very slowly including eating.
4) Staying glued to the computer chair and refusing to get the butt off the chair.
5) One and a half day passed by in the civilian world is like 1 hour passing by in the camp.
6) Never hate Sunday so much before.

Booking in already, will continue blogging next Saturday.

Singa Highland

Upon reaching Singapore from Tekong, i thought the Integrated Resort (IR) plan have been bought forward from 2009 to 2006. By 2000 hr, the Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) have hit 150 when i last saw it on tv. I have yet to recover from my cough and i think this haze will be making it worse for me, but nevertheless, i feel that the IRs should have this kind of misty surrounding and environment in the future just like what our neighbouring country have in their Genting Highland.

Javducation - On the sick bay.

Been resting at home for the past few days, i have learnt:

1) That when you are down with flu and cough, talking can be considered a task.

2) That student can set up new CCA (e.g. Fight Club) without any teachers or principal acknowledge. Sooner or later, they will start setting up new CCA like Gambling Club in order to cater to student who cannot afford to patron the IR (Integrated Resort)

3) That according to authorities, the school water are not to be blame for the same illness expreienced by the 290 Ang Mo Kio Secondary School's student. I presumed that all 290 students must have taken the same dirty dish together before coming to school.

4) That NTUC will be the next biggest player in the night entertainment business in Singapore. National Trade Union Casinos.

5) That NTUC will monopolise all form of business that you can find in Singapore very soon, be it the IR business, loan shark business ( i mean the money loaning business) , insurance business, supermarket, clubbing and etc. Nightclub and casket business will follow on.

6) That in order to harboured illegal immigrants, we must be a good citizen, winning numerous awards and medals from Singapore Civil Defence Force and all kind of awards you can think of. Best still, be the chairman of the Residents' Committee and no one will suspect that you harboured illegal immigrants.

7) That MOE have learnt their mistake and made a smart move by scrapping the EM3 stream ONLY after 20 odd years in the education business.

8) That in Singapore, if you won a top notch singing competition, you are not guarantee you will be groom because the judge just simply prefer your rival over you.

9) That i still stand by my view that being a teachers is an easy way to get stardom compare to joining Singapore Idol. Every month i will get to read about teachers abusing their authorities on student.

10) That nowadays the way punishment are layout by teachers are more creative than the way they impart knowledge to their students.

11) That we must think of a place filled with pub, prostitution and massage parlour as a culturally vibrant and not sleaze. So red light district is a culture inborned in us?

12) That in Singapore, if you can't find a job, spend time writing books. All kind of books, you can write your own autobiography, write about study mamas, write about sex or just anything you can think of.

13) That 9 years old are being considered too young to sell things like stickers to classmate even though we are encouraged entrepreneurship in Singapore.

14) That despite authorities encouraging us to speak up, giving us the light touch to forum, there will be fewer and fewer place for us to do so because authorities are acquiring up forum such as Hardwarezone Zones as a reason of media business expansion. I think that the next victims for its media business expansion will be Sam Leong's Sammyboy Alfresco Coffee Shop.

15) That Sunday is a bad day for booking in.
