I will treasure my food from now on


In case u can't read the words below the picture:

The photo in the mail is the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The photo depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. The picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.



This remains me of Darwinism. Only the fittest survives in this world.

According to Wikipedia - Darwinism is a term for the underlying theory in those ideas of Charles Darwin concerning evolution and natural selection. Discussions of Darwinism usually focus on evolution by natural selection, but sometimes Darwinism is taken to mean evolution more broadly, or other ideas unassociated with the direct work of Darwin.

Will you treasure what is served on your dining table after you see this? Will you still want to go for buffet when you know someone somewhere is dying of hunger?

Retail Therapy and the side-effects

As a result of mounting stress from the exams, I am putting on weight and at the same time experiencing shrinking wallet size. Look what I had got for myself for this 2 weeks at Bugis Junction.


Guess what I had bought. Ok ok, this is a bit small...


Take a closer look.

1) A new pair of specs

2) A sleeveless shirt from M-industrie

3) A black T-shirt from Puremilk with a dog in golden print on the pocket

4) A Puremilk T-shirt that looks like a hybrid of baseball jersey and T-shirt

Retail Therapy feels good only when there is extra cash to spare. I feel so guilty after that *sob*

Trapped



Who is worse? A fish trapped in a fish bowl or a man trapped in his worldly pursuit?

What is your Perfect Major? (PLEASE RATE ME!!<3)
created with QuizFarm.com

See the first test I did

Bullsh**!

Q: How do you response when someone other than your supervisor asks you to do photocopying?

RL: Do it also with a smile. But extend your handshake and tell him or her " Hi! I am XYZ, an undergraduate from NTU doing my internship here". Let him or her know that although you are an undergrad you still do this willingly for him or her.

(The 1100 students in the LT created an uproar upon hearing her reply)

...
...
...

RL: Being friendly to the cleaners and office boys doesn't mean you have to stand there and talk to them for 10 mininutes or have lunch with them. You don't want your supervisor and colleagues to associate you with them.


(adapted statements from Professional Attachment briefing)


I don't know what to say when the admin people in the uni tells you this.

What does that mean? Being an undergrad and would-be-graduate make you more superior compared to others? Undergrad should not associate themselves with non-grad or people with less than adequate education?

What the sh** is this!!!

Concluding Mid-way

5 boys in a class together with a not-a-girl-not-yet-woman teacher can be quite stressful for this teacher here. She has just finished a term of 12 lessons with them and wanted to conclude her experience.

1) She doesn't know how to talk to 小弟弟.
2) She doesn't know how to play soccer (the interest of the majority).
3) She has PMS sometimes.
4) She speaks in a lower voice than some of them.
5) She speaks too fast according to one of the boys.
6) She bores them to sleep sometimes with excessive contents.
7) She is only 6 years older, yet she has to act as if she is 10 years their senior.
8) She did not know how to write that kind of essay she is teaching them now when she was in secondary school back then.
9) She panicks sometimes when she is preparing her lessons cos she has no idea what to teach them.
10) She falls asleep sometimes while marking their essays (they bore her to sleep too).
She survived and finished her 12th lesson in one piece. She is looking forward to see them for another 12 lessons.
