À Qui Ligne Est Il de Toute Façon?
Wednesday, 1 July 2009

Now is back to another post of personal stories, ever since the last episode during ImagineCup Competition period. All these words written are of personal thoughts of what I have felt and did lately. It is up to you whether to decide will they happen. First of all I will start of with my school. Lately I have said that I went to UCC for the COM Ceremony at NUS. This was the period I get to really see both sides of the stories in school.
Mr Gan has persistently said that I shouldn't be involved in Dover Tech that often, since my status there isn't really much. He said that people look at results and not rather what you did during the period. He even went to tell me about his own stories. Yes, I agree that people do look at results. Yes, it is the duty for workers/students be in account for the process of any activities. After all at the end of every assignment, boss will just come back to you and ask "So what is the progression now for your event?" They are keen to know your end results, rather than the process you did. Even though people tend to say that "It is the process that values".
Ms Amy Han has told that I have to do something significant in school. Things that are done in Dover Tech, are just small minor stories. Which they can't be accounted for it in the testimonies. She wanted to write a good testimony for me, so she kept asking me to stay in school for the Industrial Attachment Programme.
I have told Kuan Hou the advantages/disadvantages of having to choose in school or to work outside. Yes, staying in school is good. Just don't take the money as an issue here. The marks given will be higher than those working outside. In the end who writes the report of what you did in school are teachers, they knew what you are doing after all in these 6 months. For them to write a good one is easy. Whereas those working outside, your report is just judged based on your duration of 2 months and your social competency. They will rather see it in first hand, than any other directional views. Which is why your attitude reflects most of them in the end report of the attachment.
Mr Maverick has said that I have secured my position for the Gold Medalist for the course. Next few days, I received email from Ms Amy asking me that I have to be involved in overseas training in Nanjing, NJCIT, in order to get the medal. The module completed at NJCIT will be taken as elective. I was thinking so you are saying that 600 students who got the medals went for overseas? Is this idea being practical? If that is the case, those 10 students who will be going must be some great people then. Seriously looking at the email given, gives me headache. The whole email is written in Mandarin. Worst of all, I can't even apply a single subsidies that is given by the school. I have to fork out 52200RMB for this trip. I am still thinking into consideration should I go for this trip. I have no news from Mr Gan nor Mr Nicholas yet. :(
Flight
新加坡/南京 Singapore/Nanjing SQ818 1655/2215 Hrs (15/09)
南京/新加坡 Nanjing/Singapore SQ819 2355/0505 Hrs (29/09)
That is all I can say for the current issues I have to face. Up next will be what will be happening the next few days in school after I go for my attachment. I kept having this thinking that Ms Amy is a Gemini. I am guessing that Mr Gan and Mr Lee is the same, since they both like to talk about stories they had. I am figuring what is Mr Gan star sign. :D
Merci tout le monde...
