And just on New Year's too. Perfect.
I know there's this newly minted resolution on remembering my roots and not looking down on people who have bad English but this just takes the damn cake.
One thing I dislike about Singapore -- its rigidity and the people's unwillingness to be flexible. Even if you encounter a problem with the system (let's jsut say...edulearn?), and have a query to ask, the teachers just brush you off, saying that you could have clarified before the deadline.
Well, the system was up and running merrily I wouldn't have needed to ask you, right? And what if I had received the fateful SMS 2 days after the deadline? Gone means gone, no matter the circumstances?
The bloody admin even had the gall to wish me a "Happy New Year"!
#@$%! Even if it's well-intentioned, it's extremely nerve-grating! (thanks xfa!)
EURGH.
Okay, it's just one component out of five. I'll just have to memorise my gong han well and aim for full marks to save the first CA component. Whatever, I'm doomed to bad marks in Chinese, so what does it matter?
...........
I shall not spectaculate on what type of person the 'problem solver' is because of this unfortunate incident, because it is rude and one should not make assumptions or insult another just by appearances alone. Personal attack is low, and only low-lives do that. If I have to insult someone I want to be coolheaded and logical, not a spitting Medusa with nothing better to do than, say, stalk tagboards and forums. (Cyber attacks/trolls/flames are really beneath one with good upbringing, ne?)
Another to add to my new year resolutions: Do not personally attack anyone this year!
