Friday was FN paper. I was in a meeting. Anan called and asked if I expected any absentees for the paper. I said shd't be. He said got a few names-absent. So panicked. Keep going in and out of the meeting rm.Need to call these ple just to check to make sure that they have not overslept or late or wteverlah. So checked the names. Called some but no reply. But never check the class properly somehow called the wrong person with the same name. Wah liao. Sorry to ple who picked up phone and caused panic also. Catherine called to say that the paper looks OK. But I'm not very sure of these students. But just hope for the best for them. I worry for them cos I know that most of them wld really study. Its just that can they remember everything? I know wt its like cos sometime I'm like that also. Just blank.
I remember a friend telling me that this happens to her once. She had to declare that she suffered from shock and cannot remember wt she study.Then take an oath or something like that. Strange right?
So if this can happen imagine how many student wld be in the queue. Like the Hello Kitty queue or the polyclinic queue.
I read abt the polyclinic queue in the papers today. Ple come in as early as 5.30am. Put their belongings-newspaper, umbrella, bag wtever as a sign that they are queuing. So doctor see them or see the umbrella, the newpaper? This happen to be an accepted behaviour as ple dont jump queue. They come and simply add an item of theirs to say that they are also in the queue.
Is this a typical practice of Singaporeans?
