the eccentric professor

Ethics class was.. interesting.
  1. The professor pulled out a wallet-sized iron ore from his shoe after claiming to have visited a Brazillian iron mine over the weekend
  2. Then he pulled out some twigs from his bag and said he'd plucked them from a dying Sumatran rainforest.
  3. He subsequently tried to saw the twigs with a toy saw, but to no avail.
  4. He decided to use a more sophisticated cutting instrument (see picture below).
  5. He thought it'd be fun to cut someone's finger instead. He asked for volunteers while holding a bloodied hankie. No one was brave enough.
  6. He pulled out three lighted cigarettes from his shirt pocket and started smoking them.
My Ethics prof is eccentric. I'd call him 'mad', if he didn't have Dean, Harvard Law School and Attorney General, New York State on his resume (which I immediately checked out after class, of course).


I would like to work at One Raffles Quay one day. Huge lobbies, spanking new designer offices, plush carpeting, futuristic corridors, breathtaking view of the sea, unobstructed view of The Sail@Marina Bay (for the voyeurs), Lau Pa Sat just across the road, UBS, Deutsche, RBS, Barclays, Credit Suisse, ABN Amro (notice they're all non-US). Aaah...the epitome of class.
