Last econs tutorial -written someday in Oct 07

It has been a long time.. I reckon time flies real fast even when one is slacking..
Spent sometime looking for the paper that i'd written it on, almost thought i'd lost it..quite sad =x then tadah! Found it!!! Phews~

As i had said this was the last ever tutorial of econs in tee jay, so it's kinda expected that people would pon.. haha.. So the classroom's a lil empty..

Tutor said he uploaded a comprehensive set of notes online and told us to access it to aid our learning.

Student B: 'Cher, that means study that one can already la?

Tutor: Yes, it's more concise than your lecture notes

Student B (declaring his gratitude to the whole world): Wah! Cher! U saved my life!!!!! I think of having to go through those thick lecture notes... can die one..

Then the crapping started.. Topic? Islands.. Very NO LINK leh.. Haha..
Someone asked tutor about buying islands...

Tutor: No money la

Student C: U can go some funny funny country to buy some small island

Student B: Then can name it Mr XXXX island

Tutor: Buy island for what? Play my own survivor there.. Bring in the cameras, film myself, then earn advertising revenue?

The class burst out in laughter~

Tutor: Cos i won't have the means to earn money to import goods

I think someone mentioned coconuts

Tutor: I cut coconuts, cut 25 coconuts exchange for 1 ice cream (narrated this with the chopping motion & an action to show a little cone ice cream)
Then everyday i cut, cut, cut... Imagine me with big hair and big beard, eating 1 small ice cream, not worth it...

After talking on the topic of islands for sometime..

Tutor: Hmm.. how did we reach this topic? Aye this lesson really talk crap.

Class: Dunno leh

Student C: 'Cher do you like to eat crab?

Tutor: I shan't answer this question

==============================

Tutor: The files uploaded are in pdf format

Student C: Pdf files cannot print multiple page right?

Student H: Can..

Student C: How? I cannot leh

Student E: Just press there la..

Student C: Huh???... Where???

Student E: There

Student C: Where??

=============================

Student C: 'Cher, u make your own notes, can take outside sell eh..

Tutor: Cannot.. (mentioned some MOE regulations)

Student C: Then u pass it to me, i go sell & make money, then dont need to study liao

Tutor: I can sue you for copyright

Student C: We split the profits la

Tutor: Then we pretend to fight in court (imitate fighting action), outside court we share profits... both of us will be famous *grins* then just before the judge is about to pass the verdict, we say we settle outside court

Student C: Woah... I'll be famous!!

=============================

Then came the topic of teaching.. I think tutor started it himself..
Tutor: If i were to live my life over again, i wont be an econs tutor, i'll probably teach maths, if i'm still going into teaching
He proceeded to rattle off some mathematical theory with x and y differential..

Student C: 'Cher! Teach maths will teach until vomit blood one

Tutor: Or teach music, i see the piano teacher of piano ensemble (he used to be in charge of piano ensemble in XJC before coming to our sch), like doing quite well *tone of admiration*
Then everyday.. (make the action of playing piano) not bad yeah..

Student C: Music teachers got pretty one anot? Actually i want to learn music one leh, but i want to find pretty teacher

Tutor: U go Yamaha, demand to see a catalogue, u flip through the pics (do a flipping motion) see ahhhh... which one u like...

Student C: What if the pic is like 20 years ago one?

Tutor: Then u quit after 2 weeks, say eh... this timing cannot arh.. i not free..

Someone suggested tutor to be a clown

Tutor made a vague but funny action (i dunno how to describe.. as though he's a performing clown.. accompanied by his sound effect of te3 te2 te1)
After some thought, he said: Hmm.. but a clown can't earn much..

=============================

Before the end of the lesson. Student B asked him a question which i didnt quite catch
Student B: -------------- serious?
Tutor: Ya, seriously

Well, that's the major part of the last lesson, other than receiving our exam scripts, distribution of answer schemes and some notes. My desk became flooded with papers as i was helping 2 of my cg mates who were M.I.A. to collect and sort out the papers (@.@) Woah.. so thick can???

Recorded some of the funny conversations above, but i cant remember all of them, probably cos i was too busy laughing (^o^)
Student B and C certainly made full use of their last chance to crap with our humorous tutor, while Student D ponned lesson (if not B+C+D= whole lotva crap)

Yeah.. I'll miss the funny antics of those handful of students (all those guys.. haha and the majority of the class is made up of guys) Created so much laughter for everyone, kinda disruptive and non-educational, but it's so much fun~ I get stomachaches from laughing too much & too hard.
Though i still dunno some of their names, hurhur i doubt it matters cos they dunno mine too..

Unlike my prev econs class in J1.. so dead.. everybody sit down and copy copy copy.. Once i fell asleep when copying stuff tutor wrote on the transparency. Kenna caught. She looked at me and said 'Don't sleep! What i'm going to say is very important!' Yeah right.. The class is so dead it makes me doze off even i'm writing. Zzzzzzzz...
