Wheeeeee!!Originally posted by elindra:Ok great! *marks down in diary*
Maybe I see if I can apply leave for a few days
I'm going to hound av to go for a movie marathon with me too! Hopefully, they'll have scary / gory movies when I'm back!
Have you been to Korea before? I'd love to go, maybe in 2008. Who's interested? -
Hmm, this thread moves pretty fast..

Anyway...
The complain over difficulty into getting poly is still on today

Not been to Korea before
Erhmmm you go for the scary / gory movies with AV
I'll be too freaked out -
I mean, we can understand why there's some resistance re Recycled Water. BUT, the folks here are also set against desalinisation plants!!Originally posted by sbst275:oh i see
I think it's the only way left to settle the water shortage prob 
Seriously, I just wanna say this - Beggars can't be choosers!! And with the weather patterns here predicted to get even hotter and drier in the years to come, they really had better do something, and do it soon! -
Btw Rhonda, did you watch Pan's Labyrinth? It's good!

I'll be too freaked out I know, that's why I don't plan on traumatising you! Think av is the only one I know in here with the steel-lined stomach to tolerate it all!
With you, we can go watch Chick Flicks or just go eat and shop! -
Aiya Singaporeans also kpkb in the end also lpplOriginally posted by Rhonda:I mean, we can understand why there's some resistance re Recycled Water. BUT, the folks here are also set against desalinisation plants!!

In other news I'm bitching to my colleague about my other smelly colleague
I really cannot tahan anymore
Yesterday was supposed to discuss something with him
But I couldn't do it coz I was holding my breathe for most of the time -
Nope.Originally posted by elindra:Btw Rhonda, did you watch Pan's Labyrinth? It's good! Unfortunately, couldn't be much of a movie buff here cause it isn't that cheap. Daily Public Transport Ticket = A$6.10 + Tuesday 'cheaper' movie tix = A$9. Total = A$15.10, not including meals and drinks yet. (And also, once I go out, I end up shopping, esp if I pass a bookshop! 
)
Compare that with Original DVD's on Sale from A$9.99 to below A$20. I now prefer to wait till the DVD's go on sale. Cheaper in the long run.
I plan on watching movies when I return to SG! Darnit... public transport and taxis in Singapore are so much cheaper and more efficient too!

I think Rhon have not seen the recent ranting over our MRT train...
Ridership went up, but schedules reduced
Only thing good is that SBS came with a real time bus arrival system called IRIS -> you can check for the next and subsequent bus arrival
and LTA is going to follow SBS to install this at the bus stops cos IRIS is only available using GPRS or thru SBS's website -
your smelly colleague just came back from reservist or what ? ...Originally posted by elindra:In other news I'm bitching to my colleague about my other smelly colleague

We also have a colleague here who's built like an Amazon and her feet stinks in Amazonian proportions too!!! *peng sanz!!!
Everywhere she goes, the stench lingers!! She went into the Team Leaders' Office one day and when she stepped out, the stench remained and it was so bad that the Team Leader promptly went out to get a can of air freshener and almost emptied the whole can spraying the room!!
Even one of the more 'polite' and subdued colleagues exclaimed the other day, "OMG!!! It smells like a dead rat in here!!" -
Pls la he is in the office everyday lorOriginally posted by Fatum:your smelly colleague just came back from reservist or what ? ...
Now I sit at my other desk furthest from him instead of my usual desk
But due to work had to discuss something with him and I nearly died -
that must be TERRIBLE!!!Originally posted by elindra:In other news I'm bitching to my colleague about my other smelly colleague

and awkward if you were to bring it up too...
when's the next time u can give presents??
or go dump a deoderant or something on his desk -
What causes the difficulty?Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway...

I think there's very much a herd mentality in Singapore. Once a course results in its grads having lucrative careers, everyone else wants to enroll in the very same course! And then before you know it, the industry gets over-saturated with too many grads fighting over the same few jobs. -
Thing is that we gave up being polite and told him he STINKSOriginally posted by Rhonda:OMG!!

SO HOW????
I told my colleague I'm going to buy colonge (I should have some cheap ones form body shop at S$10 a bottle at home still) You know their perfume Havoc? They stopped producing but I stocked up for Chris and I need to go home to find... and I'll get one of those mouth sprays and leave it on his desk

Well, it's still better than the trains over here - Connex trains have come under rap recently for being up to 45 mins late, or sometimes, not turning up at all! There was even a recent rally outside the Flinders Station here, which is a major Melbourne landmark, and the folks were rallying against Connex! Only in Melbourne can such things happen... a rally outside a station served by Connex trains against Connex! In Singapore, these peeps would've been thrown into jail!
I love Melbourne! -
Cos more and more are ditching JC for polyOriginally posted by Rhonda:What causes the difficulty?

So you see single digit pointer entering poly, while at the same time JC's cut off points are going higher
But as far as I been told is that there's still vanancy in the engineering fac -
yeah lorOriginally posted by Rhonda:Oh dear! Why would they want to deprove quality?

It's all cos of profits -
See, that's the herd mentality. No one selects a career based on their interests and aptitude - it's more based on the more popular career that can earn good money.Originally posted by sbst275:Cos more and more are ditching JC for poly

Sad. Really tragic. -

But the problem is they don't get the prestige associated with their profession like they do overseas
In the end alot of engineers either convert to business or they run overseas >< -
Biangz!! Straight to his face already, and he STILL doesn't do anything about it??!!!Originally posted by elindra:Thing is that we gave up being polite and told him he STINKS

Does he actually LOVE his stench?
