thursdayy
jodi came to meet small face, weiwen and i at vivo to shop. that was when jodi decided to buy formal clothes for his work.. i think we spent a good hour plus at TANGS shopping for a shirt, pants and bag.
this was why we took so long:
1. every shirt he picked out would always end up maroon in colour
imagine jodi browsing through the wide selection of clothes - different designs, different colours.. and at every store, "EH. THIS IS NICEE." - and that shirt would always end up maroon in colour.
i made him pose with his favourite shirt colour.. since he likes it so much. bah. who am i to comment, i always pick out black and whites too ahahs but i'd like to believe that black and white are much nicer colours than *cough MAROON.
2. the shirts still look funny on him even after choosing a smaller/bigger size
i say this because we tried a smaller size and he couldn't button his uppermost button and his shoulder fats feel suffocated ahhas. we tried a bigger size and he looked sloppy cos the shirt was too long for him (short what) hahas
3. he needed small face's advice and help with his shirts
see what i mean! buttoning also need help.
small face figuring out why jodi's shirt just looks funny on him. and that's me! hiding behind the door cos i looked quite unsightly, with my specs and pimple =(
4. jodi not fated to wear straight cut pants
because his bottom half will end up looking chunky and his parts look alot more enhanced ahahs.. so while he was trying about more than 10 pairs of pants (both straight and not straight?), this was what we were doing for self amusement.. camwhoring!
and after an hour plus bothering the poor saleslady to help us take X no. of shirts and pants, jodi only ended up buying ONE shirt ahahs poor sales woman.
anyway, i would just like to say that the service at vivo is disgustingly bad. i mean other than the sales lady which was serving us of course. But omg the promoters at MAC and braun buffel! they were not helpful at all and the lady at MAC was even fierce and impatient. AND, even the sales staff at f21 were leaning on the clothes rack looking bored! aiyooo. this is why singapore's service standards is not top 10 in the world.
friday
i was complaining to small face and kelly about the biggest braggard of a lecturer i have ever met in my life. i had lecture from 2 - 4 that afternoon.
some background knowledge before i start complaining..
1. this is how my school system works. Usually, lecturers would normally give us a 10 min break after 1 hour of lecture. and usually, classes would end 10 to 15 mins before time so students have sufficient time to travel to their next class.
2. during introductory lectures in week 1, lecturers would usually give a little background info of themselves, that is, what they studied, where they worked, their achievements, blah
this was what happened during those two dreadful hours, i would just quote her in italics so its easier.
1. after showing us her long list of academic and work achievements, she points to one particular achievement on the screen, "researcher - China".
class, you see this? i was hired by the china authorities to work for them as a researcher for one of their xx institutes and i worked there for xx months -more unneccesary background info about her china job - .. oh you guys know that before china joined WTO, for a non-china chinese to be hired by the china government, it is a very prestigious and honourable achievement you know..
2. she goes on to brag about how highly wanted she is in the industry
a quantity surveyor can earn alot of money you know. if you reach my level, you can easily earn 10k in 4 hours!
alot of firms have been calling me to help work for them you know, but i refuse all because i like to teach. it has been my lifelong ambition, since i was thirteen! not become teacher you know, lecturer!
and when introducing the supposed two most prestigious and popular QS firms in singapore, she just needs to brag this.. next time if you guys work at these firms right, just mention my name.. about 80 percent of the people over there are my students!
and somehow in the midst of her lecture, she will still find time to brag about other stuff.. oh i'm a member of supposed prestigious organisation no.1, supposed prestigious club no.2, .. somemore clubs.. i later somemore got meeting with XX club at 8pm later!
and this has got to be the worst, sometimes i wonder ah, people pay me thousands of dollars just to hear me lecture about QS and you students sit here for free in my class but don't bother paying attention. why huh? oh and i'm having another such talk in singapore next month. also costs a few thousand dollars. you all wanna come also can.. but i don't think you all can afford.. so try to pay more attention in my class k. you all get to benefit for free
3. she made us buy 3 textbooks, 2 she wrote herself, 1 is a code of practice.
you all can request to buy my two books in a bundle from the bookshop. if you all buy from nus, can get 5% discount. it's so unfair you know, i write these books and i still have to pay retail price for them!
you all don't think i'm earning alot from the textbooks ok. i'm earning a little bit only. i think i can earn more working as a QS. but i slogged many months rushing out these textbooks so you students can have a proper QS learning guide.
4. and what pissed me off the most was that we had no toilet break (cos today's lecture only history lesson, nothing technical), and we ended at 4 sharp.
and 10 mins before class ended she was only at slide 28/46 so she skipped alot of the remaining slides ok, i think this slide can skip, you all should have learnt before. ok, skip, skip, skip! - she could have been able to finish her slides if she didn't spent more than 50% of the time bragging.
even when people from the next class were rushing her to clear the room and everyone else in class were packing up, she still squeezed sometime to brag about our school's studio!
i mean SERIOUSLY?! SERIOUSLY?!! WHO THE HELL TALKS LIKE THAT!
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE. SO SHUT IT AND TEACH US OUR STUFF.
ok, i think i shall just end here. tired already.
