Help is on the way
While clearing up my table to make way for a night of memorising french verbs (present as well as a few for past tense( like voir, lire, boire; attendre, entendre, r�pondre, perdre; devoir, prendre, dire, and of course, the bloody exceptions faire, etre and avoir), I stumble upon some application forms. Top left hand corner: "MDIS: Management Development Institute of Singapore founded 1956". Almost immediately in my mind, Az's goofy face grinning at me through the glass of Nanyang Poly's Block K, level 5, holding up a piece of paper on the glass, upon which was written "DON'T PANIC. HELP IS ON THE WAY." In ballpoint pen. Like I could see a ballpoint inked message from 4m away.
Those poor folks.
Some history: I taught computer literacy at Nanyang Poly for a day during the Great Singapore Surf. Mostly to old folks who didn't know how to switch on a computer. From a class size of 9, it burgeoned to 20+ as people signed up on the spot. Old folk, 20+ participants, and my inability to help all of them due to their differing levels of computer literacy, created my distress. This was noticed by Az, who reacted in typical fashion. Thanks, brother. :)
