Disgusted...

I don't really wanna shit on my friend's blog but the following post just irks the hell out of me:

"btw, if you're bored. you read this to see how my defenseless and pity NTU friend tries to defend her half-fledge varsity next to NUS. and how i provide facts to disprove her disillusioned and misconstrued notion of NTU, as an attempt to educate her. and the general public:

me: how can u love ntu when nus is da best LOL!!!!

ntu kia: LOLLLLLLL...but in dragonboating language, which is the topic of this entry, NUS is NOWHERE near the best, sorry to disappoint. deares zhong~.
read :
standings for women's open final
1st NJC alumni,
2nd NTU,
3rd Ngee Ann Poly,
4th NUS.

erm 4th out of 4th? ze best?
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL:

me: urm let's see. in international ENGLISH language:

NUS social science fac -- 17th in the world
NUS arts fac -- 10th in the world
NUS ranking -- 18th in the world

NTU arts fac --- almost of non existence, with 2 literature teachers for the lit department. DO YOU EVEN CALL IT A DEPARTMENT?! or is it urm, a unit. LOL
NTU world ranking -- 50th (they had to do this to appease you guys, else don't make it to da chart damn sad)

and the last call. like my lec said. ALL full-fledge universities MUST have hostels. that you have.

but in addition, ALL full-fledge varsities MUST too have the faculty of law and medicine.

are you then even qualified to be called National Tech Uni ? :P


ntu kia: eh i tot nus arts n sosi is together one? together they are one fat...uh! oh! i mean FAC...no??? :PpPPppP

ah yes. i agree, ntu arts fac is almost of non-existence - thats COS we DUN have 1. *rollseyes* BUT that was in the past.

mayb, if u have cared to update urself with current news, you would have found that ntu is in the process of recruiting pple for their new schools. the school of arts, design and media, AND the school of humanities. both these schools are NEW additions into the NANYANG family, The NANYANG Technological University. not national, my dear. :)

perhaps that is the reason why we do not have a law n medicine faculty. u see, our forte lies in the technological department. NTU engineering graduates are in higher demand as compared to those from nus. THIS i heard from dragonboat's very experienced coxswain, winsten. i can tell you that he is a trusted source, 27 years of age, been through hard wind n snow, came from ITE, then to POLY then now in NTU. he said " NUS's engine's graduates talk more than they work, to the point of all talk no work." and that employers prefer to hire NTU engineers and NTU's accountants so much more than nus's!

erm, do u, a political science stoodent...get the drift???

me: tsktsk nownow don't be childish. does it matter that NTU specializes in producing TECHNICAL ppl?

no.

the point is, NTU ain't a full-fledge varsity BECAUSE of it's LACK of faculties and it's NON-EXISTENCE arts fac that it tries to create to compete with the only university in Singapore. and precisely because it doesn't have 1 in da past it is trying to COPY nus now. but that still doesn't discount the fact that your up and coming so called arts & soci fac has only 2 lit teachers *msn shock face :o*

And hence NTU is just a facade to mask it's inadequacy.

And thus follows that NTU should not even compete with NUS cos it's not even at the same level. NTU -- center of education for certain degrees. NUS -- full fledge university.

Why bother?"

This coming from an undergraduate is shockingly inane man. As someone once said, it shocks and stupefies. The blind faith in figures is retarded. Apparently my friend's socialisation is total. The pomposity and arrogance...I mean WTF man?!?! Humility and modesty, that's what many lack these days and frankly it's appalling. I practically cringed while reading it. For the sake of my friend I sincerely hope that this is truly a joke. And even if it's a joke, it's becoming a very very fucking stale one.
