morning club30!
This morning I was waiting for the missus on the MRT platform.
Every time a train came, the stupid 'Train incoming, train incoming, train incoming.....!!!!' jingle would play.
Worse still, this was City Hall, with trains converging from four directions. So I had to listen to the jingle every single time a train came from any direction. ![]()
I was there for twenty minutes! It was torture, I tell you! Torture!!!

i got whacked by that over the weekend - but that was on the circle line; didn't hear it at city hall - thought it was just limited to the circle line.
*buries face in hands*
Sigh.... I keep telling my students.... you want consultation, please make an appointment first.... don't just show up at my office unannounced!
And please don't ask me how to do CA assignments before you hand it in! ![]()
I nearly shat in my boxers this morning ......
going downstairs there were like 200 cans of pork trotters in one corner of the living room ....

Or perhaps you can have fixed appt slots? So they have to fit ur time instead? That's what some of my tutors did - they just said they are available only this time to this time when.

Which is what I did.....
In the very first lesson, I gave each of them a piece of paper full of information about my lessons. I gave specific timings for consultation, and to first email me if they want to attend consultation. No emails means I assume that no one wants to see me.
I also told them that if they want to see me outside those consultation hours, they can try making an appointment, but approval would be subject to my discretion depending on my schedule.
This girl just happily showed up outside of consultation hours without even bothering to send me an email beforehand.....
