now studying a module that i already went through in poly.

so i went about getting myself exempted from it. all i needed was to fill out a form n attach a course description with it. called the course coordinator. someone else picked up.

she: i'm sorry, ur coordinator's already left the school.
me: huh? so who's in charge of us now?
she: oh, u can call mc.
me: err, ok... so wat's her number?
she: u can reach her by this number. i'll put her on.

wat the hell, she cud've just gotten her on the line in the first place to save us all the trouble.. so my new coordinator came on the line. i explained everything to her.

mc: ok, i need ur transcript n ur course syllabus.
me: wat's course syllabus?
mc: err.....
me: u mean the course description?
mc: ya.
me: ok, so how do i get it?
mc: u have to go to ur poly to get the physical copy.
me: ok.

so i called nyp. someone else answered. i explained the situation again.

someone else: ok, so u graduated from...?
me: school of engineering.
someone else: ok, i'll transfer u to their admin branch.

transferred to some lady. explained for the third time.

some lady: which year did u graduate?
me: 2005.
some lady: ok, i'll have to transfer u to a colleague of mine. she handles these things.
me: ok thanks.
some lady: please hold on for a while.
me: ok.

then she talked to her colleague without covering the mouthpiece. i heard every word.

some lady: oei m ah! this fella the graduate manufacturing engineering transcript description course...

she repeated everything i said to her, without the proper linking words. even i cudn't understand it. before i knew it i was transferred again. good thing this m seemed to understand her pretty well.

m: hi, u're a graduate from the school of engineering right?
me: yes.
m: n u need a course description for ur current study?
me: yes.
m: ok. i'm gonna have to transfer u to the graduate department. there's been a change in management, so we r not supposed to handle these things anymore.
me : .....
me: ok, thanks.

so she means to tell me she knows exactly wat i'm looking for, n possibly has the means to find wat i need, but can't help because of a change in management? wat's so hard about printing a piece of paper with a few words n stamping it with their oh-so-important school logo? anyway, i got transferred again n explained my situation the fourth time.

graduate department: oh, u're currently studying in...?
me: sim.
graduate department: u have to get it from sim's student information department, cuz i already gave them access, so they shud be able to find it themselves. i'll give u the person to contact. if u can't contact her, u can e-mail me n cc to her. then i will communicate with her directly.

sounds like quite a process eh?
back to sim. phone kept ringing, but no one picked up.
back to nyp graduate department.

me: can't i just go over to nyp n get it from u?
graduate department: of cos not. that's y there r so many different departments. we're not allowed to just give out information to anybody.

erm, hello, i'm not asking for critical information can? i just wan a description for a single module that i already studied so i can submit it n get exempted from the same module.

reminds me of the 亂箭奇飛 office scene in just follow law.

conclusion

now studying a module that i already went through in poly.
