학생가: 바빠서 숙재를 안 했어요.
학생나: 시간이 없어서 숙재를 안 했어요.
학생다: 일을 많이 해야 해서 숙재를 못 했어요.
I am not trying to suggest reasons to give for not doing homework. Despite that, the reasons given above are the more common ones used by students to explain why they don't do their homework. It strikes me today that Singaporeans are indeed working too hard sometime.
An e-mail appeared in my Inbox. A staff from our company's administration section wrote:
"Dear all, as you know the air-con in our office will be shut after 6:30pm every day. For the welfare of those staff who work late, I will be consolidating order for fans to be bought so that the office can remain ventilated even after the air-con is switched off for the day. Please let me know if you would like a fan for your section. Thank you."
The air-con is shut after 6:30pm because staff are not encouraged to work overtime. However, that did not deter many from staying back late to work each day. There is no doubt that Singaporeans can be very hardworking contrary to the popular belief that Singaporeans are getting complacent and lazy.
As for my reply, you guess . . . ^^

In my previous office, some of us used to have small fans in our cubicles for "those days" when the Air con needs to be shut down.
ReplyDeleteI even have a small table lamp for those days when the lights needed to be switched off during lunch time.
Yes, we are one very hardworking nation.
By the way, Last night I stayed up to work till 4.30am. Luckily Sung Si Kyung kept me company with his music. A pot of freshly brewed tea and good music....I hardly realised that it was 4.30 until I realised that I had slept in front of the laptop.
Wow, Sung Si Kyung's voice is more potent than caffeine. ^o^
ReplyDeleteHmm... your previous office seems to be in quite a bad shape.
왜 숙제 안 했어요?
ReplyDelete미안하지만 저는 자지 않고 정신 없고 빨래하고 블로그 보기 때문에 어떻게 숙제 할 수 있죠. 선생님이 좋은 방법 있으면 가르쳐 주시겠어요. ^^
