Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad 155th Edition

Playing badminton doubles last week, one of the team had a member who refused to move.
Imagine the agony of her partner and he resembled a panting dog in 15 minutes.

But there are some ppl who always cannot remember front and back, left and right...
Just like u play volleyball, imagine the confusion if all 5 player rush for the ball -__-
We have teamwork la
We make it easy. Whoever's forehand takes the ball but coz he is tall he could volley from front.
I told him "You think you're Sampras huh"

Mean Professor Tells Student to “get your sh*t together”

Subject: Brand Strategy FeedbackProf. Galloway,
I would like to discuss a matter with you that bothered me. Yesterday evening I entered your 6pm Brand Strategy class approximately 1 hour late. As I entered the room, you quickly dismissed me, saying that I would need to leave and come back to the next class. After speaking with several students who are taking your class, they explained that you have a policy stating that students who arrive more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted to class.
As of yesterday evening, I was interested in three different Monday night classes that all occurred simultaneously. In order to decide which class to select, my plan for the evening was to sample all three and see which one I like most. Since I had never taken your class, I was unaware of your class policy. I was disappointed that you dismissed me from class considering (1) there is no way I could have been aware of your policy and (2) considering that it was the first day of evening classes and I arrived 1 hour late (not a few minutes), it was more probable that my tardiness was due to my desire to sample different classes rather than sheer complacency.
I have already registered for another class but I just wanted to be open and provide my opinion on the matter.
Regards,

Thanks for the feedback. I, too, would like to offer some feedback.
Just so I’ve got this straight…you started in one class, left 15-20 minutes into it (stood up, walked out mid-lecture), went to another class (walked in 20 minutes late), left that class (again, presumably, in the middle of the lecture), and then came to my class. At that point (walking in an hour late) I asked you to come to the next class which “bothered” you.
Correct?
You state that, having not taken my class, it would be impossible to know our policy of not allowing people to walk in an hour late. Most risk analysis offers that in the face of substantial uncertainty, you opt for the more conservative path or hedge your bet (e.g., do not show up an hour late until you know the professor has an explicit policy for tolerating disrespectful behavior, check with the TA before class, etc.). I hope the lottery winner that is your recently crowned Monday evening Professor is teaching Judgement and Decision Making or Critical Thinking.
In addition, your logic effectively means you cannot be held accountable for any code of conduct before taking a class. For the record, we also have no stated policy against bursting into show tunes in the middle of class, urinating on desks or taking that revolutionary hair removal system for a spin. However, xxxx, there is a baseline level of decorum (i.e., manners) that we expect of grown men and women who the admissions department have deemed tomorrow’s business leaders.
xxxx, let me be more serious for a moment. I do not know you, will not know you and have no real affinity or animosity for you. You are an anonymous student who is now regretting the send button on his laptop. It’s with this context I hope you register pause…REAL pause xxxx and take to heart what I am about to tell you:
xxxx, get your shit together.
Getting a good job, working long hours, keeping your skills relevant, navigating the politics of an organization, finding a live/work balance…these are all really hard, xxxx. In contrast, respecting institutions, having manners, demonstrating a level of humility…these are all (relatively) easy. Get the easy stuff right xxxx. In and of themselves they will not make you successful. However, not possessing them will hold you back and you will not achieve your potential which, by virtue of you being admitted to Stern, you must have in spades. It’s not too late xxxx…
Again, thanks for the feedback.
Professor Galloway

I'm telling you... The Govt is selling Singapore just to pump up Growth rate... They dun care abt heritage, they dun care about the locals' pay getting diluted by bringing in competition so that investors can enjoy cheap labour...As for the botanic garden application UNCES (or something like tat), it is something like an ISO certification on a product... U think they really cared abt heritage...?

The Botanic Gardens? That's all about $$$ too.

Ppl in Dubai is generally rich... They have the highest amt of Vertu user if I'm not wrong...Sg, we're generally still surviving at the moment... cant imagine the inflation in the future -__-

vertu is a pretty useless fone

Dubai... they now end up selling now... DP Ports sold some port assets last mth... The Ubin one is more than heritage... natural barrier... scholars want to build up an island so close to Pasir Gudang oil refinery?

Most of Singapore becomes a water park (albeit temporarily) after a frequent "once in 50 year" rain event.
-
guess what...it's been raining these past few days...the probability is more like once in 5 days
-
I'll still say... once the vegetation is gone... you're exposed to all the foul smell of the industrial town of Pasir Gudang from upnorth...

Wow. Another week going by so quickly.
