Walking through the ‘narrow canal’, this is the notice board I came to… the most prominent poster and words I saw was : 10 Great Ways To Treat Others

10 Great Ways To Treat Others
1. Use Kind words. Am I a not kind person? Look at my products, my children, my blogs, my words. But there are the time when ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, LIMIT IS LIMIT.

2. Help when You can. Who can HELP ME? When I have problems, who helped me???? Listen to my story, I would not say anything that is without any basis.

3. Share and Take Turns. It’s holiday time. The school has little students, and the Operation Manager so busy?? No time to CHAT even to Visitors??? No time to make FRIENDS with visitors??? I am a woman, not a MAN WITH CRIMINAL LOOK some more…. a woman, wearing visitor pass, hanging on the neck, with my particulars all given at the security guard… I tell you, the security guard got BETTER manner than this Operation Manager!

4. Listen to what others have so say. Obviously I was not given a chance to say anything….

5. Be honest and truthful. If I am truthful, as what I experienced, I told the Boon Lay Secondary School’s security guard that I wanted to go inside the school, to look around and to take picture. The answer is “NO.” Again,”Need to ask the Principal.” I asked,”How can I talk to principal, I want to talk to the principal then.” What you think?

You think I get a CHANCE to talk to PRINCIPAL? WAIT LONG LONG.

6. Think before you speak or act.

7. Remember your manners.

8. Hold your temper.

9. Think about the feelings of others.

10. Work and play fairly.

CAMPAIGN For Who
The Operation Manager, once a student. Which school, I don’t know. The Operation Manager, when saw me, never smile, NEVER GREET, BUT, “WHAT YOU DOING HERE?” Next, “YOU CANNOT ANYHOW TAKE PICTURE!!!!” “YOU NEED TO ASK FOR PERMISSION FROM THE GENERAL OFFICE!”

Where Is Your PRIDE
FINE. I asked him,”Who are you? Are you a teacher here?” I looked at his name tag, hang on his neck, BUT FLIPPED OVER, concealing or Hiding HIS NAME — So what for wear a name tag? I am not so rude as to tell him this. I do not even know he is the operation manager. I do not even know where is the General Office.

不分青 红皂白 (never find out the truth)
This operation manager did not even ask my purpose of coming to the school, HE DID NOT EVEN FIND OUT WHO AM I! RUDE, is this not called rude or RESPECT for even visitors!!! I had granted permission to enter the school! My purpose is to tour the school — the garden I want to see, the building I want to admire. Is this too much to ask? You think I would want to go to a school which I have no concern with like Bedok Primary School or Tampines Primary School if there is such school (and it is not of my concern to go there too!)

I asked him,”How can I get permission then?” He said,”Principal.” So I said,”I want to see the Principal.” The answer: The Principal not around. Then who can I ask for permission then? “Vice-Principal.” Then where is the Vice-Principal? On leave was the answer.

As I was asking him, several times about his name, and if he is a teacher, he DID NOT tell me his position and his name.

Just before reaching the General Office, I saw this interesting words: The Desired Outcome of Education. I was so INTERESTED to read, BUT NO TIME, PEOPLE waiting to ‘FORCED ME OUT’.

I took a picture of this, He said,”HEY, I TELL YOU HOR, DON’T TAKE ANY MORE, PLEASE OBEY HOR.”

I got no name, he got no name….

I got no time to look around the external of the General Office! What a waste, really never see anything, but only being ‘lead’ INTO the general office….
