Guess what? 2006 will be over in a flash soon. What a year, what a year...
Officially ended formal school ie no more homework, uniforms, school rules, etc.
My 2 year stay in Singapore ended too. I'd say these 2 years there is really more like a love-hate relationship. I won't exactly say Singapore is a wonderful place. I hate the ahbengs ahlians who think they are so cool, kiasu shoppers, beastly mrt commuters, sucky education system and singaporeans with this
I-AM-SUPERIOR-OVER-MALAYSIANS-SYNDROME. ( like a certain classmate of mine. Doesn't matter she lives in a HDB flat and wears cheap clothes-
not that it is a bad thing, really- and borrows without returning.)
But there are really quite a number of stuff that Singapore did do a better job in. Like how the city is clean, safe. System is fast and efficient. Corruption free. The roads are always well lit and pot hole free. And how the government's planning to set up free wireless service around the island next year onwards. Yup, these few points really make Singapore one of the most desire places to stay in but IMO, I don't think doing A-Levels there is a really good idea. But well, I don't think the time has been wasted. Met lots of really interesting people, great friends, yada yada...
Looking back, I don't think my decision was that bad after all. So what if I took the road less travelled( among my friends that is)? So what if I took a long 2 year pre-U course? So what if my holidays were miserable and I always couldn't just go home every other weekend?
So what if I kept failing my papers? *sniffles*Life isn't a mere paper chase right? Enjoy whilst you can. And that is by being a carefree albeit dependent student. And for me, a perpetually broke one.
But.. but.. the feng shui people did forecast 2006 to be a bad year for me, financially!!And that was just my 5 pence worth of thoughts. Feel free to disagree with me.
That's all for now.
Happy Boxing Day people!
Btw, I really think JUST FOR LAUGH GAGS are hilarious. Period. p/s: To Ruxing,
