Plough on!

Occassinally, I will appreciate the fact that I'm not able to get into my dream school(VJ) and take my dream course(theatre studies and drama). But of course, I learnt that there isnt anything called dream course for a lazy pig in Singapore. lol. Now, anderson is not that bad, except for the fact that it looks like a run down power plant and when it rains really hard, the grates get washed up and all everywhere in school gets flooded. Er and something else, it got a reputation as a mugger school which isnt a bad thing but make students drop hair and get black eye circles. (Honestly, RJ is oso a mugger school but at least they look cool when they mug. We look mugger when we mug. :x)

But really, apart from these and some other which I didnt mention, there is still something worthwhile to enjoy and appreciate about academic life in anderson, haha and that is the lecturers :p and some tutors, lolz. Now I have to sidetrack alittle and remind myself that I hate miaoxl cos she gets to call Leon, Leon. :p Normally, I dont call Eng Hock, Eng Hock. I call him Sir or Mr.Ng. Occassionally I hear pple calling him 'oei' and oftenly, I hear pple calling him ah pek :p hehehehe. Back to the topics of lecturers. In anderson, a lecturer can make a lame comment like she would become a free radical (radicals are really fierce things :), =.= actually, they are atoms or a group of atoms that contain an unpaired electron. if you dont understand this, just know that radicals are what make nuclear weapons work. lol) if we dont copy faster. Now, she, is really funny. lol. But I'm not really sure if she meant that to be funny or serious =x. In any case, it made us copy notes slower cause we had to stop and stare at each other and then, laugh. hehe.

And the chinese lecturer, who so happens to be the HOD of languages, calls himself LKK =.= and attempts to explain classics with hokkien and singlish. =.= Now dats really, novel. I er... the first time I attended his lecture, I thought, what is this? T_T You dont have to degrade yourself to make us interested in your lectures. But well, looking at the rest of the students, I haha, can sort of understand =x But I really enjoy his lectures now. Hahaha. He, although still calls himself LKK and acts out all his anecdotes and repeats them with the same animation, is indeed very very wise. Really, lol. As time passes, I began to feel his wisdom and er..all the other gd things, lol, beneath all those lame jokes and overdone informality. And I really am beginning to feel sorry that he has to teach a bunch of uninterested people who sleeps in class, blurt out unnecassay comments and cant even give a chinese presentation without using english halfway through =.= And drats! Whats the point of taking CLA if they dont like it! I feel sad for the lovers of this language :( namely our lecturers and some of the other CLA students. Throw our face, giving a chinese presentation to chinese students on a trip to china with an overdose of gigglish laughter and broken chinese and end up giving the talk in english with occassional feeble attempts to include ONE chinese word or two. =.= I can get Zawiah(my malay classmate) to come and sing a chinese love song to them and they would die of shame bcos she can do it more profficiently than they do. Now, perhaps I'm over-reacting but I can truly feel how those writers felt when they wrote articles, a few years when the govt made major revamps to the chinese syllabus in schools, in the local papers on how disheartening it is to see the decline of chinese in singapore when it had even been the main teaching language in schools years ago.

Back to my lecturers. haha. I have this chem tutor who once asked our class if she can explain the concepts in chinese and we were like....stun~ Okies, lol, remotely professional but at least the class laughed light-heartedly and the tutor too, haha. Imagine having this kind of lecturers in VJ, or NJ, or HCI, ya know, the top 5 =p. Now now, the students there will be disgusted.. hahaha. Really. But here in anderson, even the principal gets away with pronouncing photography as foto-graph-fie.

:x opps. hehe.
