Stupidity does exist in universities

i wasn't going to blog bout this but this message in a module forum appeared again.

"Dear Prof XXX,

I appreciate your marketing elements in the notes, the notes are colourful and look very nice on screen. But when we print out, it's very hard to read, and very hard to write notes, since e background is getting darker and darker from lesson 1 onwards.

Could you pls make the slides plainer, simpler so it's easier for the printers. Thank you.

Warmest regards"


3 kind souls replied on how to change it or print it in grey scale so it won't be that bad.


It is till this reply that i just saw cracks me up. I applaud this person for daringly posting such a reply in an academic forum. Not like no one would do in forums but this is an academic one. :P


"you should learn the basic of powerpoint, you can't survive in the world without knowing basic stuff like that.

Small things like that post forum and ask the prof to change the notes, don't be lame leh, black and white you dont know how to use? 
siao."

Next movie to watch...

Remember Me (2010)



From official movie website http://www.rememberme-movie.com/

"In the romantic drama Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life.
Remember Me also stars Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation), and Academy Award® nominee Lena Olin (Chocolat)."

My next to-watch-movie: Food, Inc. - Hungry For Change? - About the Issues


Official Food, Inc. Movie Site - Hungry For Change? - About the Issues

Have you wonder how far your food travel from the farmers' hands to the supermarket to your house? Or from the farm to the market to the food stall and finally to your stomach?

I remember seeing movie reviews about Food Inc on the papers. Perhaps the reviews doesn't impact me as much until i was reading a green living blog feed. I

I went to the movie's official website.

I was blown away.

The site's main page has a very beautiful blue sky and a delicious looking fatty cow that reminds me of the succulent tender thinly sliced shabu shabu beef that i crave for once in a while.


As i do a quick browse thru the site, issues on our food journey is scary.

In context to Singapore's lack of natural resources and land, how NEAR can we go to get our food?

I read a newspaper article a few weeks back on the fishes that we are eating. The sources of fishes that we are eating might be fully exploited or over-fished. Hey, fishes do run out.


Where to pick up a copy of the Singapore Seafood Guide:

Random idea...Fan at ATM

So far the vote for which dress colour to get is:

2 blue
2 black
1 white

shall wait till next week then decide.

As for the random idea: Was withdrawing some cash for my dental appointment. The weather was hot. Singapore weather is ALWAYS hot.

Was thinking that ATMs should install fan tat blows at ur face when u stand infront of it. Perhaps the fan will be on when u r pressing on the buttons.

*press 1 *wind blow *0*wind blow * 0*wind blow *0*wind blow

and when the cash is rolling out, the fan speed is higher..... Imagine e wind in ur hair when u withdraw $$$$$.

*add on to wad i found online today. The Star Wars Imperial March song makes the video hilarious.
