It didn't stop there

After my official email to the guy, he still wrote another letter (when will he give up!!! ARGH)!

Plz Admissions Officer
Give me one more choice, considered time, money, effort,and anxiety I have been through, consider my admission, am pleading with thy Name of Jesus Christ Please don't turn down my vision and dreams towards (the institution).
I can't afford another University....
May God bless you in aboundance....granting my admission.
(The really desperate and irritating Applicant)

God's name didn't work, so the African trying the Jesus route now. Doesn't he know it won't work either?

I dun mean to be rude but i highly doubt he could afford this institution and the cost of living in Sg. Our current students from Africa has dwindled from 3 to 1, and the 1 is struggling everyday to work instead of study. How can right?!

Stop using God's name, for God's sake!

Mr Orbin says:

Mr Pooh: Hey miss yucki, i read in yesterday's Today that drinking too much alcohol increased the changes of getting breast cancer. Want to put the article up here to warn people around us?



Read my response to Mr Pooh's Cbox chat

It's so obvious that the reporter (and the scientist) is allergic to alcohol loh.

Besides, they din mention the happy factor when drinking right? tsk tsk tsk. See, always take such articles with a ladle of salt!

An African Plead

Ok. At the risk of losing my job, i really need to post this coz i think it's hilarious. It really outlines the different cultures and ways each ppl from different countries do things.

Background: This african dude applied for an institution in Singapore, doesn't know s*** about the institution (from wat i can tell in his correspondence) but just seems desperate to escape to here. He got rejected coz... aiyah, just cannot make it lah...


Hi Miss Admissions Person,
Please I want to plead with you in thy name of Jesus Christ to re consider my admission.
However, think of the time, money, patience and I decided to go through, timeless effort, because of XXX as my choice of University.
No other Universities can offer my vision and my dreams carreer as XXX, so pleae clearify my admission.
I want to paticipated the next matriculation for July 2007 seasion.
For God sake, approve my stand within the few days ahead...plz plz Miss Admissions Person.
Thank you.

Sighz. They use God's Name ALL the time in ALL their emails. "For God's Sake, i am interested in studying at your institution, in the name of the almighty, provide me with a scholarship so i may come next week!!!!"

Argh $%^#*@)%#

Complain Complain Complain

I wanna complain about a complain that was sent into ST today. Sighz. It just shows that Singaporeans sometimes complain for the sake of complaining.

A mother wrote in distressed. Why? Coz there were Okamoto condom ads on MRT trains. She says that it is a public transport and we should'nt send the wrong msgs to students and kids. And she ends up (i think she trying to act clever) with "what's next, sex toys?"

Walau eh. She might as well complain that there are condoms sold in supermarkets and 7-11.

I dunno wat u guys think lah, I think it's ok for those ads to be up. I see that as an opportunity for parents to explain about the birds and the bees to their kids IF the kids every ask. If not, who bothers to really look at ads anyway right?

Furthermore, this type of thing, cannot stop if children start experimenting with it right? Aiyah, u know wat i'm talking about lah, sex sex sex. If they started, wouldn't it be better that they know how to protect themselves? Would this (stupid) parent rather her kid get someone (or themselves) knocked up just coz they didn't know condoms were not very expensive balloons????

Ok. it's Friday. I shd be happy. but I'm not. My whole body aches and I am getting bloody irritated with the STUPID questions ppl can sometimes think of when they walk thru the glass doors into where i work.

Asian Children

I dunno if this has been a tradition all along, but eversince I started work in my new job i realised that it is not only singaporean children that are sheltered, pampered and heavily dependant on their parents.

Chidren from Singapore, China and India are the most dependant children.

For example, a parent once spoke to me on behalf of his child who wants to study a particular subject that involves a lot of speaking up and argument. How can the child be studying that subject if the child cannot speak up for themselves right!!!!!!!!

Also, i've heard that some students who needed to attend interviews will try to bring their parents in! Walau! Wat u expect your parents to do? answer questions on your behalf? why not just ask your parents to enrol into the school and try to change the name on the cert to your name when they graduate? easier right!

An indian kid came in with the mom. I din even know she was talking about him to me until he said something that makes me go, "oh... so tat's your child!!!!"

China kids are exact replicas of their parents. If the questions they ask and the answers they want to get are not right, they will try and pin you to one corner until they hear what they wanna hear. Sighz. Ok so maybe this one a lil out of topic

Children from Vietnam, Indonesia and Phillipines are slightly more independant in that they are braver in asking questions without their mommy and daddy to help them.

Yes yes, stereotyping but u cannot blame me for this and cannot call me racist coz i happen to be asian and i happen to see this happening EVERYDAY. There are definitely some independant kids, but i pray and hope that those who are continually dependant on their parents will wake up their ideas soon. U guys are big enough to at least ask questions and find out about your future for yourselves right!!!!!!! U can't expect your parents to help you with your studies and homework right (i seriously HOPE that is not happening!)

yeay, one more post closer to beating Mr Orbin

I'm back. Woohoo! Busy period seems to have stopped momentarily, as fast as the busy period started.
