htting the nail on its head

hehe... seems like Cpt Sima has a perceptively depreciating view of the whole BLOC course...cos when she overhears Michael telling me and Weide that he's going to bring back the "Underslung" precis to study, she laughs and comments,

"Haha.. So you're going to take the book home and bring it back on monday lah.."

=)

wise words of an experienced one man.. and talking about hitting the nail on its head.. cos i myself tried lugging back a few dusty precis to read at home, but yeah, they just collected some home dust... =)

so well... i suppose u can sortta understand the attitude most take towards bloc lah huh? a sort of vacationist attitude..

but well.. every vacation comes with its tortures.. like the PAINFULLY BORING lectures that we sometimes have to endure...

HONESTLY... if one ever wondered where boring dry whithered old men disappeared to, they probably just all went to the bloggies world

-_-

today's lecturer on Combat Intelligence was SO SO SO yawnsomely boring that i was scribbling on my note-pad and showing to Weide

"monotone, monosyllabic, monologue"
"Thank goodness he only has 1 hour."

I MEAN?! this guy just kept prattling on and on and on about objectives and enemy terraina dn whatsitnot, getting completely enraptured with himself and not realizing that half of the class is in la-la land liao.. and he didn't STOP at the 1 hour mark lor.. he just carried on and on and on for another 1/2 hour before he was finally wrestled off the stage...

-_-.. and he still ignorantly said,

"Oh.. if I had the chance I could talk to you all all day about this man... Next time must have 2 hour lesson at least"

IF... and that's if we allow you to man... and well.. good luck to the next batch lah... (wicked grin)

sometimes i wonder whether being nice and staying awake and pretending to be attentive is actually a good strategy... cos sometimes people skin darn thick, maybe need like half of the class to be snoring before he draws himself out of his own conversation and stops...

so the one thing i learnt at BLOC today?

how to feign an expression of interest and concentration even though you are just scribbling crap on your note pad =)
