Have you ever thought or having an impression that certain stuffs are just way too ridiculous?
So recently, I received an email that I'm required to go a PURELY VOLUNTARY PROGRAMME and in the email, it was stated that it's compulsory for me to attend.
Can you feel the irony here? It's voluntary and yet, I'm like forced to go unless there's valid reason(s).
I bet all of us have it before. We all do have patience and limits. We can't swallow everything without confrontation. Swallowing all those information without confronting will just lead to an overload. Just like how I am going to mention in this post.

Honestly, I felt so frustrated after the first time i heard about this.
I do acknowledged that by participating in this activity,
- Students will have more exposure towards certain modules taken in their course of study
- Students will be given SEAL points (in other words, CCA points)
- Helps students to be a all-rounded individual as well as greater chance of admission into local university.
- and so on...
But never once did this email mention that they will give us a choice of whether to go or not to. All they said was, it is compulsory.
If you are a member of the public visiting the link of the programme, you will realised that this programme is purely voluntary. But apparently, it is not voluntary for me.

It's just plainly ridiculous and absurd. We're tertiary students for goodness sake, not your little lower secondary students who listen to whoever is higher and do whatever what he/she say.
We are adults, and most of us are 18 years old this year. I believe that we do have a say in whatever we do.
