Entertainers

People say that politicians are good actors, and as good actors, they have to provide good entertainment. This is certainly served up when Malaysia's first parliament seating since the election turned out to be a real entertaining one, comparable to those seen in Taiwan, with a name-calling show by Karpal Singh and Bung Moktar Radin. Lim Kit Siang also provided a very vocal showing. All these contributed to the entertainment value of watching parliament.

Now why ain't many people watching the Singapore parliament? It is so boring, hours long, and sometimes members of parliament fall asleep themselves in parliament as well. It would be real entertaining if the Singapore parliament can introduce such entertainment factor into it, and we could expect more audience then. The politicians will also keep themselves awake as they would not want to be called sleepy pigs by the opposition. Now that's a show!

Change of topic. My macro econs lecturer/tutor is such a sucky prof that I wonder if his cert is a fake. Anyway, as the final exam is coming, I kindly emailed him to ask for some tips about the exam, as there was no past yr papers to refer to, so we have no idea as to the direction we should head towards. Without some guidance and hints, we would be like bobbing floats in the midst of an open ocean. I waited, he didn't reply.

Okay I thought. Was reading through the mid-yr exam solutions and had some questions about it. So I decided to email him. Was thinking of sending an email to screw him, a bit like how I did the bald manager or the guy selling the sliced-fish noodles but milder since it's an email, but then decided against it since he would be grading my final exam, so that would be a disaster.
So instead I sent a sarcastic email which usually works to get a response. And the reply to the hints and guidance was: I've already mentioned that the final exam would be comprehensive and includes everything we've covered in this course.

Hey thank you! What a wanker
