Haven't check my NTU email for a long while, and suddenly had an urge to check it yesterday. Good thing I did.. there were one or two interesting emails lying in my inbox. The first one was this:

The names in the above email have been changed to XXX to protect their identity. Hmmm... This email came with an attachment. But I guess I shall spare you people the agony of reading it. If anyone is interested in reading, ask me on MSN.

Seems like the government is very worried about people like us... the SDU bunch (Single, Desperate, Unwanted). So much so that they are organising a Single's Night out for us! And it's actually quite cheap.. 10 bucks for all that, door gift, free flow of drinks, finger food...... and even celebrity spotting!! Where celebrity refers to Dr Vivian Balakrishnan. Too bad... it's over. DAMN! Should have checked my NTU mail more often.

Second email.. concerns only people of my fac.

Dear all

We welcome Prof XXX back to head our DD program in BMS / TCM and look forward to his contribution to this exciting new program. The enclosed note is self explanatory.

Regards,

XXX

Dean

Subject: Stepping down as Dean of Admissions

Dear Friend,

With the successful conclusion of the NTU Undergraduate Admissions Exercise for AY2005, I have decided to relinquish my position as Dean of Admissions.

I have enjoyed very much the opportunity to work with you during my term of office. Please accept my thanks for your friendship and support in making my job such a pleasant and memorable one.

I shall be returning to the School of Biological Sciences on 1 July 2005 to take up the post of Director of the new double degree programme in biomedical sciences and traditional chinese medicine.

With kindest regards,

XXX

YEP in case you people haven't checked your emails... he's BACK!!! AWWW SHUCKS! Ok I know I changed their names to Webdings, but you guys can guess who he is right!? The previous Dean of Admissions... who got promoted from Vice Dean of our fac... ARGH!!! Why can't he be gone for good?!!!! People.. we popped that champagne too early... damnit.... no more slippers in school, no more shorts in school... look forward to long long meaningless speeches that take up our lunch time, also doubling up as haolian sessions for this guy.. a whole load of bullshit and no action, loads and loads of crap where he depicts himself as a saint....... never mind me... I'm inconsolable... leave me alone.. let me grieve.... sobz
