Dear student,

Do you need a course instructor that can speak proper English?


The purpose of this email is to looking for committee members and other interested party to form an informal committee to deal with the school regarding all issues that students think is important to solve. Please delete this email if you are here just to study. I am looking for people who want to improve the university system. I am looking for those with courage and willing to spent time to do something extremely meaningful. I need real man and ladies who have great leadership. There is no certificate given to committee members and also no pay for you. This is an event after the exam. (Hence it wouldn’t affect your study.)

We might be organizing large scale protest to gain awareness. Delete it if you only care your own business.

Disclaimer: This in not an email initiates an agenda to overthrow the student union or any other illegal action.


Dear students,

Now we shall proceed with the email.
Yes we have been passive for many years; we are brought up in this kind of environment. Yes, our school is doing quite well in the world. We are rank 48. I hope you are very happy with it.

Yet, there is some question to think about.

We have been asking for course instructor that can speak proper English!

Are we asking too much from the school? Hey we are the customer of the university. I am a scholar (I am not trying to show u how good I am as a scholar), I don’t pay the tuition fees, But think about those who pay their tuition fees, when tuition fees is raising, yet year after year, the lecturer (who cant speak proper English) that we keep complaining is still teaching, how you feel? what is the reason behind it?

What if my lecturer is a noble prize winner who cannot speak proper English, do I learn from him?

When we want more places in special semester, the school has not enough resources, yet they are buying chairs that price SGD2000 a piece.

What if I can get goodies bags, free ice creams, free T-shirt, free this free that, yet the union have no power over important issues.

And more and more issue are to be discuss…

I am proposing to have a group of student with great leadership to come together to form a committee to deal with the school.

Time and money are expected to be spent. Nothing can be claim back. We do not have grant here. It might be the 1st time in history of NTU that student can deal with school in a serious and legal way.

We are dealing with your problem. Think about it, are you satisfied with the university system? There should be a man(it could be a woman as well, I am not discriminating female) to stand out to lead the students to claim a stake in the university. We want to be consult for important university decision.

Student, what are you waiting? Stand up and fight for your consumer rights or you will be given low quality education for your years here. Be confused in the lecture by not understanding the English your lecturer use or stand up and speak up, the choice is yours.

For more information, reply to this email or contact me at ********.

I know I do not use good English, please don’t call me or reply to me and tell me this. That is why I need you here!

A good example!! ---> Stats tutor~ last sem!! is there no stats tutor who can speak like.... a more normal english??

But then again.. i dont feel so strongly about a school.. and i thought NTU's actually doing pretty well.. as in... in terms of welfare~ we have free ice cream.. milo.. and sometimes movie passes! yesh! i do care bout all these.. haha.. so...

maybe this writer came from a school with very strong school culture and spirit?? hmm..

BUT! the funny thing is.. everyone is using this reply to all function!!! damN! haha.. and someone even go there and preach.." Learn to forget and to forgive. God Bless us all." ... yesh.. the exact words said.. of coz.. its juz part of a msg..

so.. at 130am i fell aslp! im truely tired!! seriously!! thn.. at 215.. i wake up... to the banging of the door! its not actually banging.. its juz when u dun close it softly and let it close by itself, it will let out the loud "BANG"!! so.. feeling super irritated! i woke up... the bang keeps continuing.. ( and i wonder y they keep going in and out)... and i ren... and i ren... and i ren.. ( ya.. u'll probably know.. im a light sleeper.. need total silence to sleep)... and i ren wu ke ren...

at 3am! i pluck up my courage and!!!! nope.. i did not go out to scold or wat.. im not such a rude gal.. i took out my post-stick!! and wrote a message:" Dear neighbours.. can we all close this damn door softly so as not to disturb others who are sleeping? thank you"

okok... i know i still sound rude with the word "damn" .. but im damn irritated you see.. so... haha.. anger translate into words.. i cant help it! and yesh.. the stupid banging of door stops.. and karen have a good night slp again!!! ( except that... its way past past past my bedtime! hmmP!)
