Minimum Workload Requirement??

How absurd! The Faculty had just sent me an email, asking me why I end up in its records for having failed to meet the minimum workload requirement for this semester! The email reads that I should read at least 16 MCs for every academic semester.

I decide to study only 12 MCs this semester, because I had already cleared 168 MCs in the past 7 semesters! Mind you that the standard workload for Honours students is 160 MCs! Haiz, as an "old bird" I deserve a break, don't I? I just want to focus on my research and thesis, as well as to enjoy my last (?) semester at NUS. :)
