Sunday
Sunny Sunday never fails to bring a back of sweat of the people toiling about their everyday chores. Even the short bus trip to Pasir Ris and back brought about a steady stream of complains.
After enrolling in NAFA, I get increasingly irritated by people who misspell NAPFA (National Physical Fitness Award) as NAFA. Why can people get club names like MOS, DXO correct, and yet screw up something so simple as NAPFA?
In Singapore, NAFA means Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. If you are indignant at that, go look it up in the research-is-so-damn-easy website - Wikipedia.
The correct spellling is NAPFA okay? N-A-P-F-A with a P in it.
Oh. And I forgot who told me LASALLE-SIA meant Lasalle - Singapore Institution of the Arts. It is actually named that way because Singapore Airlines (SIA) donated S$15 million to construct new buildings to house all Lasalle's activities on one campus. So much for that intellectual who got me fooled for so long.
But since 2007, LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts has been re-branded as LASALLE College of the Arts.
The lesson behind this post? Never take third party information at face value. (Think wikipedia)
