What will be shall be

When I was a student (in poly)

When I was a student in Ngee Ann Poly

- I studied multimedia in Ngee Ann and before registering, I thought it is something like Mass Communications or something to do with the media when you get to meddle with stuff in studio or camera. In the end it's on computing stuff and I AM A COMPUTER IDOIT, even today I still am.

- When I purchased a lap top which is essential for my course, I did not know where the CD-Rom was. Once my friend came over my house to borrow my laptop to do some stuff and asked me to help me insert the CD into the CD-Rom and I told him my laptop doesn't have one. He rotated my laptop and pressed a button and out popped the CD-Rom.

- We once had to do a project individually and upon completion, the teacher passed round a disk and asked us to save into it. Somehow I inserted the disk into the zip drive instead of the A drive. The computer began to give out a strange rattling noise. The teacher came over to see and her facial expression was classic. It read,"How could somebody be so stupid?" In the end, with the help of another teacher and a metal ruler, she managed to extract out the disk. I was relieved, and so were some of the top students in the class. Because they have saved their work in the same disk.

- I only attended the 1st few lectures. After that lectures all automatically become 'self-revision'.

- My classmates and I always like to play stupid games. We would play 'zhong ji mi ma' and the loser will have to do a forfeit like getting a girl's number and so on. Our favorite game was at MacDonalds at King Albert Park. Everytime before we go, we will play the game and the loser will have to carry everyone's bags to the bus stop. I was always the one suggesting stupid forfeits- and always ended up being the one being punished.

- In my 1st semester, we had a module called Business Information System. The book is a very thin one and its contents looked very simple. I joked to my friends saying that it is almost impossible to fail this module. I did the impossible, together with 2 of my other classmates. NNB.

- Mid-way till tutorials and practicals especially those 2-hours sessions, me and a couple of my classmates will always disappear saying we need to go to the loo, and go to the canteen for coffee and tea. We only come back at least half an hour later.

- I get Ds(just passed) for almost all my modules throughout my 3 years in Poly. Teachers always say I am lucky to have passed. I would rather refer it as strong survival instinct, studying just the right thing to get a pass.

- We had a module in yr 2 or 3 called project management. I scored a high B+ in this module, even higher than most of the better students in my class. I told them I am cut out for management, not some dumb programmer. They never agree with me.

- My classmates and I always like to find empty classrooms especially those located more remotely and play Dai-dee.

- Once we went up to the staff level to find a teacher and realized that the whole corridor was empty. Realizing that everyone had gone to a meeting, we explored the place and went into the staff lounge. I opened the fridge and saw one whole carton of sugar cane drinks (6-packs). I took a number of packs and went down to the classroom to distribute. The following week an email was sent to everyone warning that no one unless with the company of a teacher is allowed in the staff area. I supposed the camera located along the corridor really works.

- On graduation day when we went to collect our certs, my teacher said to me," I don't know how you do it but somehow you did it. This is the 1st time I see people who know nuts about computing but yet manage to get a diploma in computing. I really expected you to repeat at least a year." Bitch.
