I can't believe my group is so damn lucky, again.
That slacker's club.

my day ended great. i skipped training.

sociology tut was full of question marks.. i dun really know what useful things i learnt when i came out of the class. the tutor seems to be able to see the subtle symbols/ meanings of sex in everthing he comes across in this subject. he got so excited talking about sec tourism, s'poreans going to Batam over the weekends, showing us how Korea's brochure portray their cultures and country, using pictures to entise pple (sex inocations of course). he can even relate airline advertisement - the stewardess as a sex object. it's just a stewardess in a business suit, with the tagline 'taking flight'. so he said it's supposed to be sth like 'taking off'. WTH! i dun find it any more amusing than he finds the ad. but after he mentioned it, it really is tat i'll never look at the same ad in the same way again.

and contiki holiday! he totally spoil my impression of contiki as the ideal tour agent for young adventurous adults. he brought in what he thinks the pamphlet is portraying- sex with multiple parters, not giving a care about who they are- since after the trip, you wont get to see each other again.and he mentioned 'it's so obvious since it's only for pple between the age of 18-35'. this kinda sux. the lesson is all about him giving his views, and his uncovering of such stuff in almost all materials.

and he told us 'i was ugly when i first came to s'pore. had a couple of gfs. one is a model for triumph.' and he went on to inform us that he still sees the ad his ex-gf is on all over s'pore though it was an ad about 7, 8 years ago. told us she was 23 when she took that ad. shld be about 30 now. the way he said it- like the model is an old hag now and shldnt be seen. the image of the huge word 'JERK' just drop from the ceiling and hovers over his head. think it's his evil grin and sheepish smile.

i'm kinda disappointed i got into his class. it's not so much of him spoiling my ideologies of tourism and hospitality..

but more of him spoiling the image/ impression and respect i have for all educators.
