Face or Muka or Bin or Lian or whatever wtf

Sigh one should never ever try to change his/her password if he/she has extremely bad memory, just like me. *shy*

I just changed my blogger password one or two days ago, and it took me a whopping 30 minutes before I could blog here again. And that too was after I had reset my password. Hey on a second thought, that's not actually the case. I didn't actually forget my password, but I managed to forget my email address.

Brilliant! Pffftttt!

Anyway.

I am sitting here blogging in the college while waiting for the boyfriend in the other office with his thesis supervisor. You definitely have no idea about how I am feeling here right now.

Before this, I always get angry and annoyed with the boyfriend because he was really reluctant to start doing his thesis. Or in fact, not to say reluctant, he just didn't have the mood to do so. So I had to force him, nag him, and help him look for supervisor. My, now I regret deeply, for recommending him to this particular supervisor just because she used to be my lecturer and I thought she was really nice.

Two days ago the boyfriend and I happened to meet his supervisor in the college cafeteria. And because I knew that he hasn't been meeting her for ages, I thought he should just go to her and report on the progress of his thesis.

Again, that was a bad move. Le sigh.

As soon as the lecturer saw the boyfriend, she started lecturing. The one thing that really made me sad was when the lecturer pointed in the boyfriend's face while saying "I am ashamed of you being my student as you have not been seeing me and did not even bother to come asking me for supervision. Look how the other lecturers supervise their students!"

I do admit that the boyfriend was at fault for not approaching the lecturer and reporting to her on his progress. But I certainly do not think that a lecturer can and should say such nasty thing to a student. After all, I think shes getting angry just because shes afraid that the boyfriend wont do well in the thesis, and hence will affect her reputation.

Such as "Miss XXX's student so lousy lah, look at his thesis!". Things like that.

Yeah, after all, I REALLY think that shes angry because of "face".

And poor thing, I must say that I don't see any problem even if the boyfriend does not consult her on his work, provided that he does do his work (And of course he did, under my supervision *evil grin*). While I think that it will be good if she could help him, it shouldn't be a problem too even if he fails to do so.

Can't he just do what he wants and just show his final draft to her?

Frankly that's my style of doing work. I hate going to my supervisor chapter by chapter just to show him how I have progressed and expect him to tell me what to do next. That's not even my own work then. In fact that's what my supervisor does. He only read my final draft few weeks ago for the first time, and commented accordingly.

In the boyfriend's case, I seriously think that even if he doesn't go to his supervisor, the supervisor can still assess him based on his own work. Isn't that good and fair enough?

Students should only get what they deserve, and not trying hard to squeeze into the first class or the A category when they don't even qualify. Whats the point of these supervisors trying very hard to help the students?

Again, I believe it all comes back to the "face" issue.

Sigh, seriously, I think the education level in Malaysia is getting worse. Not to say the students aren't hardworking, but they are just too pampered. So pampered that they start to think that they SHOULD rely on the lecturers to help them in achieving good marks.

And the sad thing now is?

Even some of the lecturers thought so too! Look at the boyfriend's case.

Le sigh.

To me, seeing the boyfriend getting scolded and humiliated did not make me feel any better, nor did I think he deserved it. It's like me getting humiliated by the others as well. The heart aches, you know.

Le sigh.

40 minutes, and the boyfriend is still in there with his supervisor.

I hope hes doing good. I don't wanna go in with him because I cant stand seeing the boyfriend getting humiliated again and again just because he would rather depend on himself to achieve the grade that he deserves to get.

And I too don't want my boyfriend to feel offended and humiliated in front of his girlfriend. So I rather stay here and wait for him, which is something I hardly do. Try asking the boyfriend. I have very little patience in waiting for people.

Sigh hopefully his supervisor doesnt say nasty things to him again this time. Else I wouldn't guarantee that I would still be as polite to her when I see her around in college.

Or should I just go in and stab her now wtf
