Econs lecture at school. Crappy. Firstly, the econs lecturer had some funny pronunciation errors. Also, she also kept saying "flip the slide" which is grammatically incorrect. This somewhat reflects the standard of English in Singapore. Secondly, she picked one of the China scholars to answer an econs question. This is the China scholar's first time in MJC, and he said that he was just sitting into the lecture. But the lecturer insisted that he answered. The person then said he was a scholar. Then she said, quote and unquote, "Scholar cannot answer questions? Fine, then." in a very sarcastic way. Is that how we should be treating the guests of MJC? The lecturer could obviously tell that he was a guest, seeing that he wasn't wearing MJ uniform. The China scholar's buddy is my friend, and I would feel shame and embarrassment if I were in my friend's shoes. A warm welcome the econs lecturer give the China scholars. The econs lecturer might be in a bad mood, but still, she shouldn't have taken it out on the scholar, and secondly, she just created a very bad first impression if herself in front of the scholar. Let us hope that the scholar does not base the whole Singapore on just that one person. On a lighter note, it shows an example of the "ugliness" of Singaporeans and does provide a rich, though unpleasant, cultural exchange. Politeness and courtesy are values Singaporeans has yet to master.
Enough about the econs lecture. I don't know if I can cope with bio if they increase the pace. I have forgotten many things about the topic already. Bio lecture today was revision for me. Gahh. I would like to some more time. (Not by retaining though.) Still have to train chess for 8th ASEAN+ Age-group C'ships. Then again, I'm not really utilizing my time well. Slacking at the library during breaks. If I do mug, then people will classify me as a nerd. Being in IGC won't help. I think I'll bring times mag to read during free periods tml. Argh! Sch ends at 5.05pm tml. But wednesday is super-slack. ahh, the screw-ups of the timetable.
Yeah, my CG's fine. Although there is a imbalance in boys/girls ratio. But I'll survive.
And I think I'll plan a 304 BBQ first week of June holidays.
The memories. =)
