if marlow from joseph conrad's heart of darkness ever visited rjc, i think he'd be apalled by the "flabby devil" that plagues us all over.
INEFFICIENCY is the buzzword around school these days, in all faculties. the fruits stall woman didn't have change when i passed her a fifty dollar note for a cup of soya bean , and she promptly told me she had no change and urged me to buy something else in the canteen so that i could pay her in exact amounts. at that time, i had already taken 2 sips as i was very thirsty. i could have just walked away with the cup and never walked back. what's this man. it reminds me of the time i took a cab last year and the driver didn't have change and drove me off to some other place so that i could change my money into smaller denominations. and i was in a HURRY then. what's with this, really? why are the consumers paying the price for the inefficiencies of the producers of these goods and services? fuck, that really sounded like something from sloman. too much econs. but yeah, i think it's their duty to always carry ample change around, what more if you're in a stationary shop. ugh.
more inefficiencies because of my unlocked locker even after so many days (ok it's been only 2 working days but STILL). i finally overcame my procrastination and decided to put a padlock on my locker to indicate that i wanted it unlocked. but i highly doubt the maintainence estate people make tours of the thousand over lockers in school every day. so i filed in a request at the office last friday, and yet nothing has been done about it yet! what do they do anyway, besides take stock of dusty unused chairs?
oh and the most idiotic award definitely goes to the PE department, for threatening us with witholding of our CCA records, yada yada if we as NAPFA failures don't turn up for pe lessons as per normal whilst those who got silver or gold, and all the girls except huimin mug their asses off while we try to tone our own asses in a vain attempt twice every week. ok, so we did do so yesterday and it seemed vaguely helpful. i mean, the teacher himself said that it has to be a long-term effort, doing it once or twice a week won't help. HE FREAKING ADMITTED THAT IT'S POINTLESS so why are we pursuing this waste of time when we could have 2 more hours to study? but that's not the point. we changed into our kits today and specially made the effort (unlike some people *cough*eugene*cough who just ponned) and what do we find out?! none of the pe teachers are in the staffroom, MIA. only mr ortega was milling around pointlessly too, doing goodness-knows-what, carrying a clipboard and looking dazed and lost. we made our way to the indoor gym and lo and behold, the previous class was playing floorball amongst THEMSELVES, with no teacher supervision. and it was only a handful too. pe teachers really shouldn't lay down such threats if they can't stand by to enforce them. where on earth were they? having a deparment meeting at secret recipe? maybe they all went home figuring that there were no more lessons and the NAPFA failures would just pon anyway. well they were WRONG (mostly, anyway.) if they did and that's bloody annoying!
