Photolog of the day

So I am currently doing HRM 323 module and we have got 1 TMA and 1 GBA and then an examination. So since there was a GBA (Group Based Assignment), everyone in class displayed their level of "kanchong-ness" on the first day of class itself. I saw how some kanchong spiders went around asking everyone for their mobile numbers and how most of them looked at the person sitting beside them and told them that they should work together for the GBA. So as usual, I was nonchalant about the whole group thing. I mean I know that no matter which group I work for or am in, I would ensure I give my best and I honestly, didn't want to be some kanchong spider and beg people to get me in. I mean, that is just not me. So some people approached me and I just told them that I would want to focus on my TMA first and then get to know people and then decide upon the group rather than to like form a group just because I am afraid of being 'group-less'. Haha. So there was once when my lecturer asked a question and I knew the answer and so I gave the answer and the lecturer went like "wahhh you so smart ah. Sure you would be a valuable member to your group ah" and you can imagine how I was bombarded by a barrage of people asking me to be part of their group. I mean I try not to like undermine the nature of people but sometimes I really cannot help myself. I mean where is the love for ingraining knowledge ?. Like everything is just about scoring well ?. I know it sounds absurd because I myself am trying to push my GPA up but ..... I mean c'mon ! Don't you have trust in your own calibre ?. Ahhh, whatever.

So as usual, I was one of the most chattiest ones in class. I mean my lecturer is a little funny - weirdly funny and so my classmates and I tend to like laugh out at her bad jokes and even try to chat with each other to remain sane or to chase the blues away. So like once my lecturer went like "class, do you realise why I hate using green marker and that I always use red, black or blue marker ?" and the whole class looked at her blankly and she went like "because I was from the red house" and she burst out laughing. So some of my classmates looked at me and I acknowledged their look with a "wtf" face. But then later on I realised why she mentioned that statement. Haha. Fucking hell.

So Harpal was one of the chattiest ones and for some reason we are like one of the interactive ones in class and so we decided to work together for the GBA and I told Harpal to find ourselves another partner. We needed to have 3 in a group. So Harpal was absent for the last lesson and I realised I didn't know his name and didn't have his number because he had passed me his namecard and I accidentally slipped it into my textbook and I couldn't find it. So I didn't go to class for the 3rd lesson and finally I managed to find the namecard and I messaged him and he told me that he had managed to find our 3rd member. So we met in class for the 4th lesson and we decided to introduce ourselves to each other and I met my 3rd member. The funniest thing is, Harpal already got the 3rd member on the 1st day of class as he was going home together with Cyril and Cyril was supposed to look for me at the 2nd lesson itself but he didn't know my name and there was another Indian girl in class and Cyril was afraid of approaching us and so we only managed to get acquainted at the 4th lesson.

So I created a 'Whats App' group and titled it "Poodle Lovers" because I thought our lecturer resembled a poodle. Hahaha. So I was telling the guys on how to address that question because we're expected to write a whooping 3,600 words for that shit ass assignment and I was telling them that we need to do a skeleton and each do a selected 1,200 word essay for that particular section and that we should review our work together at a stipulated timeline and since I planned alot, those guys elected me as the leader. Hahhaa. So we decided to meet up 1 hour before class yesterday to discuss about our GBA.




So it really looks like we were talking about the assignment right ? HELL NO ! Hahaha. We were sitting right outside our lecture theatre and were discussing the assignment. Cyril was late. So Harpal and I were reviewing the assignment and we were done with the discussion when Cyril came 45 minutes later and so we addressed the question all over again and the basic skeleton and soon after, we ended up talking about everything and anything besides the GBA and we realised that it was already 7.10 pm and we decided not to go for the class. I mean honestly the lecture is boring and half the time I would be online on FB, what's app or Instagram, stone or at times, write down whatever thoughts my mind was conjuring and sometimes make important life decisions during the "me" time. Hahaha. I mean once Harpal and Cyril were sitting behind me and I ended up writing alot and they thought I was taking down notes when I told them that I wasn't and that I was merely jotting down whatever I had planned to do the next day - like going for a work out, planning on the exercise regime for the specific body parts and etc. LOL ! Hahahaha and there was also once when those guys wanted to talk about the GBA during class when I told them to give me just 10 minutes and that I would be right back. So those guys thought I had to answer nature's call when I came to class with 2 chocolate bars. I mean I love chocolates and sometimes I really cannot resist from buying chocolate during lectures. Muahahaha !


So I got closer to them and then I realised that these poor fellas had been in SIM since 2009 ! Hahaha. Well during their time apparently there wasn't any credit trackers and they ended up doing more than required credits for their compulsory, elective and Ucore modules and ended up having uncredited modules and wasted alot of time. So in short, UniSIM was in alot of mess and this people were simply the victim of their mess. And both are like 29 and are married. Cyril happened to be a popular newscaster's son - Malaiga Peters and Harpal Singh's father is a famous disciplinarian whom the "Bhai-yi" society members are well acquainted with. In short, its a small world. So we were literally talking about life yesterday and we ended up having the conversation for like 4 hours straight - right outside our lecture theatre and some classmates of ours even joined us. Hahahaha.


So at 29, Harpal has attained the position which would make alot of us envious. I mean I openly told him that I envy his life at that moment. I mean at 29, he already achieved it all and he is already earning ALOT and that too without a degree. So he is only doing his degree just to satisfy his dad's wishes. So we were talking about his life. I mean Harpal is in the crewing sector and we all know how time-consuming it is and to make matter worse, he has a 10 month old CUTE daughter. So he was telling us how he had struggled to find a footing in the initial stages and how he managed to climb the corporate ladder to establish a strong foothold over time. It was a very interesting session. I mean how often do you have classmates who are already at the top level and are open to share their experiences with you ?. So interesting team mates and a greater learning lesson :)



PO NEE PO (podi/poda, get lost). 


This is the MOST important scene of the whole MV. So this is where I had to execute an array of emotions and I really hope I did justice.



Love this shot.




So it's termed as "positional asphyxia" and strangely there were a myriad of injuries on Dinesh Raman's body ?. So there are bruises, abrasions and blood clots on various parts of his body - right hip, right collarbone area, left collarbone area, left cheek, left eye, left shoulder, right cheek, left knee, left hip/crotch area, right arm, right wrist, left shoulder (back and top), left chin and so on. So apparently the 8 people who had restrained Dinesh from attacking one of the prison warden apparently had used pepper spray to subdue him and left him in a prone position in an isolated cell and found him dead because of 'positional asphyxia' ?. I mean it is established that restraining people using the prone position can lead to breathing difficulties but the forces are told to hold them in a prone position briefly until the subject is handcuffed and yet the officials have determined the above as the cause of the death ?. VERY SHADY. 

I mean I am definitely not Dinesh's friend or do I even know him. Yes, he literally wasted his life by getting involved in stupid problems, breaching his probation and what not. But then again, I don't think he deserves to die just like that. I mean he could have been a late bloomer. He could have reformed and could have achieved just as much as any other late bloomer. So a life is just gone due to the negligence of the prison officers ?. 

I honestly think he was beaten up by the 8 people and charging just 1 person - Deputy Superintendent Lim Kwo Yin of Negligence not Amounting to Culpable Homicide and fining him $ 10,000 isn't enough. So apparently the remaining 7 faced internal disciplinary proceedings which were not made public. Why ?. Honestly the events surrounding Dinesh Raman's death seems very shady. I believe there is just more that meets the eye and obviously, more is to what was published on the state-controlled Newspapers. 

The Ministry of Home Affairs conducted a Committee of Inquiry to audit the prison systems and the findings were not made public. I was particularly shocked that the State Coroner's inquiry was stopped mid-way because the criminal proceedings established the circumstances leading to the death of Dinesh Raman and his inquiry was redundant. I mean how can a State Coroner's inquiry be stopped mid-way when the death was caused by civil servants ?. And to add on to the confusion, the Attorney General Chambers refused to reopen the inquiry. The family had appealed to High Court to reopen the inquiry for forensic experts to establish their findings and to determine the actual cause of death of Dinesh Raman. 

I really hope justice is prevailed and the government will stop covering up such atrocities. Its really disappointing and I hope the High Court rules in favour of the Raman family and most certainly, my heart goes out to them.
