~* brianc - Thursday *~

Today, a lecturer from my previous school came down NTU to listen to our nano-matl lecture. Well apparently he's kind of mentioning he was invited by MJ to sit in, and something about starting a new course back in his school... Although we ain't pretty close back then, I still managed to remember where's he from... The thing is I think probably he got a cultural shock today! His eyes were glaring around the floor at my fellow classmates, & guessing he might not be targetting any pretty girls loithering there, the next top guess that strike me was he might be VERY amazed the dress-codes we had....

Almost everyone was in too casual attires, shorts, slippers, t-shirts, singlets, etc... Perhaps he though we should be more professional beings since we (university dudes) and our dressing just kind of didn't fit in.... Then I was asking him on 1 question: " So, is SP recruiting any people?" Strangly he looked away and down as quickly as possible and reluctantly replied: "Oh ermmm, well, they do........... sometimes~~" HAHAHA! I was really right on the spot while laughing hard inside myself, he was indeed very doubtful on our caliber as a university person... Well, it's ain't surprising because I was in a singlet, bermudas + slippers out-fit.... Maybe if I turn out in the old days of NTU with white colla shirt and black pants, i stand a better chance to hear " YES we do, we are more willing to recruit people from here!" Infact I think its pretty difficult to work there too, cos to my knowledge, only old old lecturers (90%) are still there while many retire.... New blood was needed............... I turned away and walk towards the rest of my friends and chat~ Still thinking if next lecture I turn out with jeans + collar shirt will the respect level goes up???

Arghhhh, Lam was still this fast but never doubting that she is talented and can really teach in-depth stuffs..... But her level of knowledge is too high up, and tuning back to our kinda level is which I agree pretty much tough for her.... Its something like A B C is difficult to a 1 year old kid , and darm easy for us 20++ years old dudes...

Its always about "judging a book by its cover" world.... inner beauty always comes second.... Ability to present oneself is crucial to sell and the last thing is LUCK.................
