well, at least it seems like it will be heading to shit , for now.
i’m going to start “relief teaching” next wednesday, but only to cover teachers on an ad-hoc basis. so its really like, someone go on MC, and i’ll stand in, be the loud clown with a cane for an hour at a time. good point is, i’ll save on all the travelling time, and the money spent on food and transport (8.80 a day mind u!) Bad point is, this kind of relief teaching is very unreliable, and can be disruptive; they call you at 7.30 am, expect you to be in school by 8am to take over the class . siao right? but the pay is superb. one day’s work, 65 bucks-regardless of how long you stay, or are needed. Of course if they need help around the school, you will have to do it. lol
but the cap-land hr dept likes me so much, they want me to stay on till end of may, or, at least for another week, to help them move stuff and clear stuff. Ok, i work really fast, as opposed to the 4 piles of paper at home that seem to be encroaching on my bed area after overrunning my table. I finished the 1st draft of their hr handbook(adapted from the existing one) for their india branch in 2 days. Thats with cross referencing with a rival company’s handbook too. LoL I love it when i can play facebook, and obtain record scores on minesweeper and still complain that i have no work to do. lololol
but yes, enough gushing. the issue at hand is actually the fact that NTU has, at this late (relative to uni applications) time , informed me that i am “not eligible for engineering courses.”
WTF.
seriously, u tell me NOW? after all the universities in the WORLD have closed their apps for the fall entry?! (top UNIs close their apps on either 30 Nov or 31st Dec the preceeding year.) So i’m supposed to waste ANOTHER YEAR?! wtf man.
people in kazakhstan, are already on their 2nd year masters programs at KIMEP; 1 year older and 1 year from their MBA. wtf man.And i’ll be 4 years out of high school and not nearing any degree completion?! This is a lousy place for a guy to grow up. fuck, have girls in singapore.
The most exasperating thing is, they’re not letting me have the course of my choice, coz of my illness-epilepsy. Honestly, if writing a thesis would be so dangerous, they should have warning labels on university apps. And thats where i feel i am really being played out. There was NO INDICATION in the university application that people with certain medical conditions cannot go for certain courses. If i had been given ample warning, if i had not been given this false hope, then i wouldn’t apply for a uni place locally AT ALL. And what now, they’ll corner me into taking up some other course no one wants to take coz its so late in the application process that no other university will take me? If that happens, i’m gg to ask them to shove it. shove their app form up their asses so high, they’ll be feeling it in their next meal.
First i was discriminated against by the ministry of education, who conveniently dragged my teaching registration for TWO WHOLE MONTHS before giving me a positive reply after I passed them a memo from my doctor, certifying that i am “fit to teach” . Mind you, i applied in early feb. i got it only 2 weeks ago.
And now this shit. If i can sue them, i tell you now, i will. I don’t CARE if i won’t ever get a place in uni here, i’ll sue them and use the money to go to a uni overseas. This is a fatal concoction of medical discrimination and negligence that can easily ruin other people’s future! So you wanna compete on the world stage, and still impose these ridiculous restrictions on medical conditions? If that’s what’s been happening all this while, i think singapore universities deserve their lack lustre rankings. World class my ass.
ok, i have to say it. NOW i am regretting not ACCEPTING the offer to read architecture in NUS. fuck. I need to see my uncle’s wife, a lawyer, to get a professional opinion on this. Its no joke being fucked by someone who’s afraid of your illness coz they don’t know what exactly it is. And i thought NTU would be more open to differences as they take in alot of people from overseas. Well, i guess there are differences between differences; everyone’s equal, but some are more equal than others.
