  Err I wouldn't call it a pile of cash
  Anyway the ducks are cheaper than I thought

  I get a headache every single time I revise marketing.
  
  Considering that it's just a foundation-level module, I've been spending an inordinate amount of time on it.
  
  Thank goodness it'll all be over by 3pm tomorrow.

  Btw each duck is individually vaccum packed!!
  Will do
  If HM is not around I'll just repack the ducks into red plastic bags and carry to your car
  I hope my boss leaves early ><
  
  BTW Fudgie, what is wrong with marketing?
  I breezed through it!

  I guess I don't have a strong appreciation for business-related subjects.... that's why I never even considered going to the Business school when I first matriculated.
  
  And also, the lecturer is incredibly siao-on.... she is the first (if not the only) lecturer in many, many years to actually introduce negative marking in the answer scheme for the MCQ section.
  
  In short, if I get the answer wrong, I lose marks.
  
  I agree that it discourages hantam-ing the answers.... but it also kinda discourages people from trying to reason the answer out, methinks.

  interesting comments on the MDA:

  choice quote:
  
  According to this blog, "The MDA Senior Management Rap video was produced earlier this year and intended originally for MDA staffers at an internal conference. Following an enthusiastic response from the staff, the video became public when it was distributed as part of MDA's annual report and posted on the organization's Web site."
  Enthusiastic response from staff!
  
  What does this show? Ivory tower groupthink. Fawning sycophancy. The whole organisation is rotten to the core.

  the thing about MDA is that the semi-sentient cowards running it are so afraid of shadows that they figure they can protect their own asses by sodomising themselves with a broomstick because they think people out there want to kick their asses...
  
  in the end, they get their asses kicked for their own stupidity of sodomising themselves with their own broomsticks...

  I have a feeling some of the staff who enthusiastically encouraged them to put the video online knew exactly what kind of reception they'd get.

  what you need to do is to read Dilbert...
  
  you will see that those who can do, are relegated to doing the work..
  
  those who cannot, are promoted...
