  This piece of news made it to Reuters even!!    This makes us a laughing stock on the international arena.  Nice. 

  When will the Govt learn not to interfere in such matters?  First, they told us "Two is Enough" and then they decided three or more is better... IF you are smart and can afford it.  That's so utilitarian!  It even has some kinda communist-jingle to it.   

  And now, the Govt is teaching the younger generation how to flirt and date and court and mate?!!    When Big Brother tries to step into the bedroom and interfere with the dating and mating process, it becomes extremely disturbing!

  actually love and sexuality are valid university courses ah.

   

  I think the course itself is good - it is rather the CONTENT that should be modified into a higher tone.

   

  For example - incorporate counselling elements, psychological studies of differences between men and women, etc.

  long time ago liao

  Tat time NTI (Nanyang Technological Institute) only have engineering so the ratio of guys to gers was pathetic to them... so they decided to shift the Accountancy degree to NTI from NUS cos Accountancy had more girls, so as to give the guys there girls to see and more importantly fall in love and get hitched

  take note back then the shift was easier... NTI back then was under the control of NUS for its academic matters

  as usual, they are still not tackling the problem. its not about people not pairing up. last time sec school students don't even pat tor. now pri sch students are already doing that. its a common sight to see couples everywhere.

  i think this will spur on more flings and ons.

  cheers!

  guys who depend on such modules to get to know more gals are pathetic.

  Girls who join this module are desperados.

  i think its dumb and misleading to teach students about relationships n stuff. and SDU is in it, so i have to question the objectives of the module. i see the gal commenting abt the 5 secs thing n i start to think its crap already

  "My teacher said if a guy looks into my eyes for more than five seconds, it could mean that he is attracted to me and I stand a chance," 18-year-old student Isabel Seet was quoted as saying by the local Straits Times newspaper.

   

  OMG OMG LOLOL. I tot looking at the other person's eyes while talking is just a form of courteousy?
