The Sociological Imagination


YES! lol, ok i am being overly excited. -_-"""

was reading about a blog post regarding the teacher she revered most lol ... and maybe i should also write about the teachers whom i liked most in my er... 15.5 yrs of education. lol, yes FIFTEEN AND A HALF YEARS! omg. 

I think i shall split into several post cos too many to speak about. so uni lecturers and tutors (also count!) first!!

SC3211 Qualitative Inquiry, SC2212 Sociology of Deviance 
AH-HAHAHAHAHA  and after I graduated my sociology buddies, D, very kindly 
ah sorry don't know if i can post up the whole picture cos i dunno whose computer's screen is being projected on the wall behind Dr Gana ... and the same friend who wrote that sentence on the top picture and posted me the second picture also ...
okay abit small but as long as i know which prof is which is fine hahaha... *touched** yeah i revered him very very much. totally enjoyed his lessons and his ohp, his drawings (of cars, stick man) Cesar LOMBROSO AND Cesar BACCARIA and his theory of deviance (OMG DAMN INSPIRING). but really v sad lor, i wanted to talked to him about improving one of the term paper i did for soci of deviance and never got the chance to meet him to discuss tt paper ="( haish (why like that?). i just remembered i got recordings of his lectures AHAHAHAH i shall search for it and listen to it LOL!!

walao eh, i'm only at my first professor in nus and like so long already wth. ok i shall faster and maybe cut short my stories. lol... and talking about Dr Gana must talk about his student and my tutor for 3211 Anil (sorry i duno your full name anil) he's really nice, my friend (another soci buddy is obsessed w him haha) and he greeted me one day while i was queuing for the atm @ AS2 (i think lah, so long nv go back already) and HE SAID "hi hueyli~" OMGOMGOMG HAHAHA - the reason why I am so excited is because usually nobody remembers my name in school as in teachers cos i am mediocre and eh blend into the furniture lah but he remembered even after 2 sems so v happy lor cos he remembered ma :). 

so, i went to to look at the commencement programme (he graduate same ceremony as me and obviously under different programme, he is doing he masters) and that's anil. very very nice tutor and he always sets up the OHP for Dr Gana (hee~) and Dr Gana will always so "Anil ..." during lectures. so okay they are very niceee ppl!!! but Dr Gana, why I no get chance to discuss tt bullying paper in ur office :''( *still v sad** 

goggled him and got this (*I ALSO GOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!) okay sorry, couldn't stop myself.  

wah lao eh, really long breath... 

okay! Dr Jeniifer Jarman (methods of soci research w Dr Mattar but she was my tutor lah even thursday 12-2pm slot and Soci of Work)

i remembered during the last semester in school eh... while studying for exams (during the exam period) i went to collect my term paper and buy coffee i think oh sorry i think she was on the way to the canteen (I THINK ONLY HAR~) and she went (in her very nice accent), "HI, how are you?!!" i was like "who is she talking to?? *curious** and i turned around to see who was behind and it was the ... green bin -_-". THEN i realised she was talking to me (HAHA really late reaction) and then i very the happy (like YES! SHE REMEMBERS ME OMG OMG OMG SHE ACTUALLY REMEMBERED ME!!!!!!!) cos i really really really like how she speaks and the way she teaches and conducts her lessons and her friendliness. and "how are you", "I'm good", "how about you" and i told her I MISS HER CLASS (AND its the truth) and i told her i really really really wanted to take her level 4000 class - sociology of organizations and i couldnt and how much i will regret but she was really nice and encouraged me and we said bye and i want to cry cos i will miss the v nice soci lecturers in nus cos its my last sem in nus. so i googled her again (*wth like i got no life but sorry la, must let you know how nice the my soci lecturers were and she is now in Lakehead University.

 Dr Jarman again (still looks the same, always v cheerful =]) and she once said during the last lesson of soci research methods (a 8 - 10am class) walao eh i tell u it was really a struggle for everyone lor and Dr Jarman went, "we should all wear a t-shirt saying I survived SC2101 class and I will fight the department if they give me a 8am class again" hahaha three of my sociology buddies were in the same class (but we duno each other yet said one of them keep nodding off in tt class but i always sit in the 4th row so i'm in the front and i will force myself to stay awake lah ahahah)

wah lao, ok one more cos i remembered her suddenly (heard that she retired after i took her class but i don't think so leh cos her own personal website is very recent and update and yes i view it sometimes) and its Dr Stella Quah (medical sociology class)
 she's really nice, i love biomedical sciences and medical sociology really merged what i did in poly (dbms - story another time) and soci. she is really kind and always help me out when i approach her during breaks/after lectures/after tutorials*(delete where applicable) and she always, always helps me with my questions and she always replies me with a nice smile after answering my question. she is damn nice. okay la everyone is damn nice in the soci department. okok back to her and i remembered the story she told about the "broken windows" during the first tutorial class because nobody wants to sit in front haha and she made up sit in a circle, every time whoever reach the tut class first have to arrange the chairs nicely in a big circle after that hahahahahaha and i still haven managed to read that article yet. i am terrible. took this classes with like 90% of med students (hai, i tell u they are very the terrible one lor minority of them, their behaviour b4 tutorial and during tutorial i hope they will not be my doctor in future lah cos there's this particular guy i remembered who bragged that he gave his teammates low evaluation and he and this other person .... hai dont want to continue already, damn depressing thinking about what they discuss before tutorials wtf.)

aiyah, i shall split this post into many many parts leh, cos its very difficult to talk about everyone in one post. there's still Prof Straughan, Grace, Prof Hing, Prof Ho, Dr Tan, Prof Roxana, Prof Raffin and er sorry i'll do a detailed one la (i promise) cos v long time liao and someone asked me what bus to take to nus and i replied "93" which is the bus to my office T__T" (its 96 lah i remember liao and 151 and 95).
and also RP lecturers, WDL, SLPS hahaha duno when i'll be done. 

I'm gonna end abruptly, good nights and byes!! :):):):):)
