真聪明。。。 。。。
Went for a “talk” last night. Turned out to be a celebration of an association’s ….belief. Show’s average but the company’s great… Was inspired to give some thoughts on religious stuff but was seriously advised not to…so… <shrugs>
The past few weeks have been hell for most of NUS students. The exam periods see fellow mature undergraduates “camping” in the various libraries doing the final stretch for their “continuous” hard work culminating into several booklets of paper. Or in some cases, just carbon on a relatively nice piece of orange paper… … I said MOST… yeah… peeps from Eng, Sci and even the “ARTS DISCIPLINE” of Econs will have an inkling of what I’m about to say… … Not representing the entire cohort…especially not Econs… I would say that Arts student have a relatively easier time at exams compared to the rest of the drowning masses… Especially if you have chosen the right modules… Take me for instance. This semester see me having 2 essay exams and 3 MCQ exams…granted 1 of the MCQ isn’t as easy as I thought but on the whole I don’t really feel the pressure of the exams… maybe it’s also because my grades probably won’t qualified me for a honours year… This whole paragraph’s purpose is just to spite those peeps that worked their butts off and glorify those that got great returns because of it. As for those eligible for the former and not the latter… <shrugs>
Kudos to the ingenuity of NUS students… I didn’t buy a textbook that was prescribed to a module and supposedly its ‘good to have’ since its an open book exam….Smiling inwards days before the paper, I thought that I can just borrow the book from RBR and make it an overnight loan. At the most I would just be fined a couple of bucks compared to the staggering cost of that stack of bound paper… Little do I know that this smart alec idea that I had was not so smart after all… tons of people had the same idea. As a result, you see a crowd of people all round the counters in the various libraries. This doesn’t account for my salutation to these fellow alecs.. What comes next does…. 1 alec on the phone…: “…hey my side here the books all taken. The com says your side got someone return already. Help me borrow. I will call XXX to stop waiting at biz library…” Y.T.
