Singapore's Natural Education (SNE 04)

This is gonna be a more subdued public education post, I promise. =)

As a person-with-free-day-but-still-went-to-school-anyway, I have learnt the following:

1. People in the public service endure low pay and terrible working hours. That's why they have a right to scold you.

2. This is especially so when they are in a, to be politically-correct, NOT SO prestigious sector of the public service. Like handling season parking coupons.

3. Apparently public servants know (and actively discuss) about Plato and Greek philosophy. WOW. While dishing out parking coupons, of course.

4. Person with free day but went to school? Either he has good reason to be there, or he is what we call JPBSP.

5. JPBSP is a Hokkien phrase meaning "Eat finish got no excrement to put."

6. Never tell someone you are trying to train up that a special guest is arriving. They'll freak out and start hitting you all over.

7. While holding bridge cards and asking for less preparation time to avert the crisis, I must add.

8. Of course, the special guest did not come. Alone, that is. TWO special guests came. =P

9. The probability of being whacked more is in direct proportion to the number of special guests. Not to mention that person doing the whacking is a future public servant. Training hard, I see.
