When a problem happens, what should we do first?
Find the person to blame or solve the problem?
Does raising voices or pointing fingers help at all?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The world.
Revolving.
Around the sun?
The society.
Revolving.
Around academics. Results. That little black Arial font A1 on the report card. That Times New Roman Distinction on your certificate.
Is this reality? Where Everything And Anything concerns Studies? What happen to street smart and common sense? What happen to the people who worked hard to build Singapore?
Our Samsui Women had no tinge of knowledge, our Coolies had no sense of education, let alone the street hawkers. Yet they have built this world where education is KEY to every lock, solution to every problem.
Does it really matter?

A student is taking his O'Levels this year. He has an english oral examination today.
..........
"Now for the conversaion section. Tell me about your childhood." The teacher asked.
The student paused for a moment and asked,"What childhood? I had no childhood. And that applies to almost every typical singaporean kid in this generation."
Wondering what his oral marks was?
See? Academics again.
But the point was not what marks he had achieved, but his answer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dictation.
The primary school test?
No.
Your life more likely.
Every minute, every hour.
Wake up.
Bush your teeth.
Go to school.
Go home.
Homework.
Sleep.
That's it?
Yeah.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents.
They know best right?
They know whats good for us right?
They ate more salt than we ate our rice right?
Which means if children follow religiously to their parents they succeed in life, no errors?
Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes then?
And if its that foolproof, 100% guarantee, Everyone start listening to your parents.

Post starts now(for Danial's skimming sake):
These few days has been really memorable, even though i barely remember now.
The week had been realli enjoyable. Summary:
Camwhoring at Esprit.
Shopping at IKEA.
Eating with Lizhi, Changda, Pei Xiang, Danial etc.
Meetings.
CCA.
Splendid summary right? Simple.
And sorry for not posting for so long. Really busy. Feel so sinful no one could read my posts. Lol.
Obsessions with our own lives. Sad isn't it? People in their own centres of their world.

Ever heard of the phrase, or statement in this case, that goes:
"Hitting multiple blows at a specific point on the human body kills a person faster than multiple blows at random areas."
Been there. Done that.
In my fortress, that gets weaker by the day, the weak defenses and troops at Physics and Amath are constantly pummelled by endless 'test' soldiers and 'homework' generals. Battalions after battalions of non-stop Charles Law constant.
The good or strong troops, lay at Mother Tongue and Chemistry. However the introduction of Mole Concept Warriors has arrived. Troops wavering.
And the unsure troops, (CH) Geog, English and Biology. Unproven but not defeated. Just having irregular results every single time. And rising troops who have started showing their wrath, Emath.
Been whacked , had that.
Help.
