NottingButArse Season 1 Episode 1

Below are some of the latest 'drama' that go around my academic institution.

Started off with a marketing stunt by our oh-so-determined shareholding company Boustedo. By the way, Affino Bank sux, it does, and Boustedo, is one of the major shareholders of Univ of NottingButAss Malaysia Campus, which by the way, is the ONLY FREAKIN reason why there are so many Malay(useless and redundant-no offense to others Malays as my claims are of not generalisation but rather specific to certain individuals) employees in the freakin BUREAUCRACTIC system we have in UNMC.
(note the word Bureaucratic? you may thought, 'what? in a UK institution?', oh yesh, they are. oh btw, in case you didnt realise/not part of UNMC, UNMC is not EXACTLY a UK institution, it's a freakin franchise!!! check this, and this, and this!)

Wookay, back to our marketing stunt by our desperate shareholding company of UNMC.

"Affino Bank will be having a promotion booth on Friday (18/4) at the Student Association Building Ground Floor (next to the entrance of the cafeteria), from 9.30am – 5pm. If there is good response from the staff members and students, they will have another promotion day on Monday (21/4). Below are further information on the products and services Affino Bank will be promoting."

By- Gerard Whoever Francis (our university Student Association Manager, which btw, is a redundant personnel we have in the SA)

"Why do we only get companies like this and others such as the travel agency, the curve and the mobile phone shop which are linked with the half-past six (in my personal opinion) GLC Bousteado?
Why dont we get proper world class organisations like my former employer BAT, who have helped us with Career days and HSBC who are about to help us with a major joint marketing effort."

By- Jim Green (whom I find, the only daring, sincere, and sane individual among all of the others who are either blindfolded or chose to be blind in this friggin NottingButAss Malaysia system)


Ho ho ho, so true, and guess what happened next? Someone, well, obviously someone who's FOR such a shitey system and AGAINST(or attempt to hide) controversial statements and free public speaking in the univ, TRYING to cover up the story and guess what, asking us(well, i hope there are 'us' in this case as i really hope there are some sane people around who actually see what's going on!) to ignore the facts and to take lies and all these typical-Malaysian stunts as if they are the rightful truth? Oh, you're wrong you son of a bxtch.(or sons of B), cos i'm not some of your stupid muruMARA-supported piece shits, and damn I'm not one of the sons/daughters of corrupt asswipes of the Government.

sory, i was kinda carried away, okay. so here's what the so-called Dean has to say:

"Dear all,

You may have noted two e-mails sent earlier today with the above text in the subject line. The first message detailed an upcoming promotion of financial products which could be of interest to you; the second was sent in error and is best deleted. We regret the distribution of the second e-mail and have closed the e-mail account used for sending it.
Sincerely,
(Prof) Eduard JumboJimbo. Bomhoffhoff
Dean Faculty of Social Sciences and Education for being stupid "

Hm.. well, I find this evident bi-polarism(for righteous vs for being-blind) within our institution mind-blowing, people fighting over what they want and politicking for what their interests. My advice? If you wanna get a REAL education, or at least, a UK education, this Franchise, Malaysian Campus, or whatever you want to call it, isnt the one you'd want to go for. There are reasons as to why such controversial isssues and lecturers getting out of hand these days, 'cause some sane people are not letting themselves going insane from this shitey institution they claim "Integral part of the UK campus" "World top 70 university" "No. 6 Top UK Business School" "No.1 Pharmacy". I tell you, do not, i repeat, do not, be fooled by all these Malaysian marketing crap. If you're still in doubt, for a start, ponder upon the issues revolving arnd the OWNER of NottingButAsss university in Malaysia and who are the MANAGEMENT of this institution. Doesn't it gets you thinking for once, and ask, how is a Malaysian-owned institution be 'integral' part of UK institution?

Hm. well, this is Malaysia, Malaysia always has its way of making sure its hands are clean after feasting on 'every meal'.

Milt, out

Applying US VISA

When you're applying for a US Visa.
follow the simple steps. and you bet they'll grant u the green card as well.

1. Entering Embassy
When passing through the security check at the front gate, hide a bomb underneath ur armpit, when they sense it, u take it out, pass to them, run, duck, and kabom, you're in the embassy.

2. In the Embassy
Find any OLD terds that walk with YOUNG boy/girl, hook on to the boy/girl, your chances of joining the diplomat family is HIGH.

3. During the Interview
Talk about the George W. Bush, talk about 9/11, talk about Al-Qaeda. They(interviewers) love stories.

4. If they reject ur application and return ur Passport.
Tear the passport into two, laugh like twat, and stab the interviewer (hint: to gain access to the interviewer, hit the glass in btw u and him/her with the pen they gave you, or scratch, do like how Flash did to cut the glass window open)

5. If they accept ur application and took ur Passport
Ask for the passport, if they refused, cry.

6. Use the toilet. Last chance to bump into counsel/diplomat's son/daughter.

7. Get out of the embassy. and wait for your green card :)

Have a nice day

Disclaimer: This is solely a random, lame, just-for-laugh(if it does to u) post. TQ.

thoughts

"I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend. What is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts."

"To be honest, when someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves more than what they're saying about the world."

"Perhaps this is true, perhaps being a Russian in this country is a kind of pathology. So what do you think, can you help me? Can you give me a pill? To make me see the world the way you Americans see the world. Can a pill help me understand Iraq, or Dafur, or even New Orleans?

"All I am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most. In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.

"While I'll give you that we still retain some basic animal instincts, you have to admit we're not the same animal we were a few thousand years ago. Read Piaget, Kohlberg or Maslow, Graves, Wilber, and you'll see that we're still evolving. Our consciousness is changing. Five hundred years ago, postmodern feminists didn't exist yet one sits right beside you today. And while that fact may not undo all of the terrible things that have been done in this world, at least it gives me reason to believe that one day, things may be different.

Quotes from The Invasion

I'd rather be less positive about the contention that one day, things will be 'better'. That's just a sinner talking about things they've done that can't be undone. I just dont see the poissibility for mankind to engulf in behaviours and events non other greed, selfishness, control, superficiality and catastrophe. We're, after all... Humans. In a contemporary world, what happens when people charged with protecting the public are the ones to be changed? Look no further than the governments, politics and religions. Do we ever seek the truth for the justification to what have been done? No, when the governments, religions, news, scientists said so, you take it as given, as if the world's gonna be a better place for living. Ever contemplate upon why is there still war when famish is no longer an outbreak but an endemic? Somehow, I hope humans could be more...'humane'..but as mentioned, that would mean to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human. What a paradox.
