the uninspired f&b manager

the domestic f&b manager has been serving up food less than satisfactory recently.ever since the opening of a new nasi-lemak and “economic” (wah, this is definitely uniquely singapore) beehoon after the cny period and my innocent utterance that the nasi-lemak is indeed palatable, she has been buying me the same food everytime she goes marketing. the same packet of nasi-lemak containing a slice of cucumber, a sunny-side-up, a chicken wing, peanuts and ikan bilis. without fail.

i once asked her how come she always buys me the same food for eons until i have a new craving, and she said it’s easier cos she doesn’t have to think what to buy for me.

and recently, her homecooked dishes have been very……strange. she throws whatever she sees in the fridge into the wok. a couple of days ago she dumped a carton of tofu which had been in the fridge for quite some time with sotongs. the combination was edible, but weird. and sometimes the combinations are even weirder. she just laughs it off when i accuse her of such crimes, or tell me to shut up and stop complaining, or i can cook for myself.

usually she says she doesn’t know what to cook, so just throw in anything lor.

and recently, there’s been more instant noodles, all-ingredients kwayteow/noodle soup and such.gosh, the f&b standards are deteriorating at an alarming speed.

this assoc prof from eee made a big-ass blunder. instead of forwarding this email to the undergraduate’s office, he sent it to the entire undergraduate population, with the message “For your advice to the student please”

the email:

“Dear Sir,

I am a student from EEE. The results for the first special term was out yesterday. I have not gotten any GE. I have currently done around two and a half years of studying in NTU. I am quite concerned about fulfilling the GE requirement. To date, I have not done any GE at all. Therefore, I am wondering if the school can help me or guide me in whatever way possible.

Thanks
Regards
……. “

man, if i had such a professor i don’t know if i can trust him with my personal requests. i wonder if the undergraduate population will itchy fingers and go spam the dude with advice on how to get GEs. after all, if he hadn’t done any GE at all in the past two and a half years, he’s quite a loser and need some solid advice. didn’t know there were such pathetic souls around. he has my sympathies.
