As someone has been complaining that I have not been updating, I shall put something up to satisfy him.
Well, I have been looking through the student evaluation forms and I am extremely amused by them. They would complain about everything under the sun and when they try to compliment the tutors and lecturers, their choice of language is weird, to say the least. They say things like "I kid you not, the tutor is really good..." or "Sack this tutor, we are wasting our money hiring people like him..." And their grammar and sentence structure is absolutely atrocious. Bleah.
Hmm, let me say more about the people I work with then. They are the usual lecturers, just that most of them are younger than those whom I've encountered in NUS. It feels a bit different to be working in such an academic environment, where almost everyone has a doctorate or is working towards it. As much as they are brilliant, there are some weird ones too.
There is a woman who is abit mean tactless and really made me want to do something bad to her. She always locks herself in her own room and only comes out once or twice a day, to fill water or to visit the ladies. I suspect she must have her own secret passage in her room, so that she don't have to leave it at all.
There is another man who is also weird. He is really friendly when he first came in, but his friendliness seems to me as a bit fake. It may have something to do with his military background and him being a political scientist but then again. He is also a bit boastful and likes to drop names of people in high places having some form of association to him.
Sharing my office with my school are a few staff from another faculty. So, there is this lecturer who is REALLY nice. And I mean, REALLY nice. Well, if you had read previous entries, he is the pizza man, aka the guy who made the pizza for me.
And not forgetting the boss. He is a funny and tolerant man. He tolerates all sorts of nonsense from all sorts of people and he does not look like a dean at all. He loves to eat, like most of us in the office (read: loves to eat=eating every other 2 hours) and so, I think we click real well. His surname is 'Koh', which means that 500 years ago, we were relatives!
So, in short there are real nice people and there are real weird people in my working environment. But, we all love to eat. I forsee we will be a very happy school. :)
