They’re renaming our school the Wee*Kim*Wee School*of Communication*and In*formation.

Right.

WKW*SCI sounds awful.  I don’t want to be a graduate of the WKW*SCI!  No offense to the great man himself because he was a lovely person (so I hear) and a fantastic president (so I’m told), but seriously, I really hate it when they randomly tack on names to a school just to honor the person – especially when it’s because of money.

Like the Yong*Siew*Toh Conservatory*of Mu*sic.  I’ve gotten unending grief from my friends who are students there, because the name is unwieldly, clumsy and not at all smooth on the tongue, just like our brand new WKW*SCI (shudders run down my spine when I even think the name).

So if we’re stuck with it anyway, and as a result have gained a $25 million fund for our school, can we:

1) get a new vending machine with instant noodles and a hot water dispenser, because we’re an isolated school with no canteen/cafe,
2) expand the school to build a new LT because one lecture theatre that can only hold 120 students is obviously not enough for even one batch of 180 students per year,
3) stop having to pay equipment rental
4) throw out AM*IC and restock the library with books that were actually published this millennium?

I wonder if they’re even going to account to us where the money is going.  I hope to see some visible improvements to school.

Gasp, maybe they paid for the new 5th floor and rooftop with the money!
