Long time no post..Greetings to all..
Quite a long time since my last post liao... These days, it has been quite tired for me, although I may seem to be a bit slack because my FYP meeting is no longer very intense liao..
I shall make this blog entry a more casual one... In the sense the topics that I going to say are all sort of random, rather than already thought of what to post about..
These days, that peacock in that SMRT North Bridge Rd HQ building (SPH in short) has been messed up with its redeployment of buses again, but this time, it seems to me that it somehow bring back the glory days of Bt Panjang Interchange with the Scanias (both Strider and ELBOs) back on Service 75, 700 and 970 although it's no longer WLDEP (Woodlands Depot) dominated liao..
Yesterday, while I boarded TIB1090R on Service 169 (TIB868X's slot) and stood on the exit door steps as usual, it seem to me that the STUPID door sensor can actually detect even for the usual step that I stood (count 2 steps from the bottom). The situation for a lot of SMRT bus services is way too jia liak until I couldn't stand it anymore and I just chop any place that is not occupied.. This is how SMRT commuters trying to GO GREEN with SMRT...
And talking about Woodlands Regional Interchange(WRI), the SMRT staff that I dislike the most is a guy by the name of "Tay Chin Tian". Everytime when he guard Service 169 berth in the morning, my face already turned quite "black", especially last Monday when everything is screwed up for me...
The story goes like this:
I waited for Service 187/963/966 at the usual bus stop at the usual timing (around 7:45am). Just because 4 stupid Service 190/190A buses (3 bendies and 1 rigid) jam up the bus stop area (not only bus jam, but human jam too, because there are a lot of people who cannot board it, and trying very hard to squeeze through it, hence a lot of time is wasted). End up I reached WRI a bit late then usual, and I rushed (by brisk walk, not run) to Service 169 berth and saw TIB978L picking up passengers.. In the end, I am the 2nd person in the queue that couldn't able to board, all thanks to that Tay Chin Tian, who won't even let a few more people to squeeze through... Having a very pissed off face of mine, I dashed off from the queue and went to the taxi stand to take a cab down to school, because for this day module (Financial Accounting), I can't afford to be late even by a single second because this is the module that I can score quite a fair bit of As to help to push up my lousy GPA..
Ok enough of this whinning, lets talk about the new SMRT Mercedes Benz OC500LE WAB (Wheelchair Accessible Bus). Few days ago, some of my bus enthusiast friends told me that 1 of them has been registered liao... Rego is SMB1H..
What a weird rego man... Some of the comments made by both my bus enthusiast friends and myself about this rego:
1. SMB = SumMon Bus (this bus always tio summon one)
2. SMB1H = got Small, Medium, and Big one (1), How ah? (this one is by myself.. Lolx..)
3. SMB = Super Mario Brothers (a very classic and old time favourite game) =D
More creative negative ideas coming up from the fellow bus enthusiasts... Shall not talk about it..
One last thing before I end off this blog post, yesterday a relief facilitator took over my class for 1 of the module (I shall not name it out to protect her identity), and somemore she's the module chair for this module according to some of my unlucky friends who kena her as their facilitator.. Don't wish to say anything much over here, but really it has been quite a long time (for months) ever since I last wrote this kind of RJ to facilitator liao.. Usually this kind of RJ I will only write when my whole class classmates super buay tahan him/her... For this case it's a she..
Question:
Quantify your level contribution in class (not team) today. What strategies did you adopt in contributing actively to class discussion today?
Answer:
My level contribution in class is very low. In fact, I find that most of us in the class here also have a low contribution as well. I can boldly say that my level contribution level is ZERO.
Firstly, the 1st impression that you gave all of us when you stepped into our class is very bad. It is so bad that I ever thought of going off halfway after 1st meeting, and coming back to school again for the Marketing UT later on in the afternoon.
Secondly, your voice projection in class seems to us that you are really talking to the thin air or the wall. You are truly indeed talking to yourself, and expecting all of us in the classroom to be able to hear you talking where I don't even bother to hear whatever you mentioned actually.
Ok... 2 points are enough to express my anger out because of the poor attitude that you portray to us right from the start where you stepped into our class. It is so disappointing for me to find out that you are actually the module chair for this module, and yet you show very good example to the classes that you have taught them. Well done... Continue this any further and promise me, your current/future students will seriously have an even good impressions, and don't ever regret if any of your students actually complained about you facilitating their class.
As what I have mentioned in the 1st paragraph, since my level contribution for today's lesson is ZERO, I do not even need to adopt any strategies in contributing actively to class discussion. Thankfully that you only facilitated us for this very unlucky day, and you can give me a very bad grade for this problem for all you care, because with you facilitating us, I seriously don't deserve any GOOD grades from you. Period.
Okay.. That's all for now and it's time for me to go off for dinner and meet up with my bus enthusiasts cell group later at Tampines liao... Take care guys and God bless.. ^_^
