Desires and Abhors
Tuesday, January 03, 2006

Well well, it was nerve wrecking at morning, having to go to this new school that I've never gone alone before. Okay, the morning was dark and chilly, that kind of uncomfortable feeling you get when you first entered secondary school. Except that, this time, its much more uneasy, the lateral transfer part. Went in, passed the transfer form to the general office, and then I just sorta, hung outside the hall. I didn't know where I was supposed to go or sit, so I just went on walking somewhere outside it, before I finally walked in and asked where 4B was. Got my place, sat down and their flag raising started. Different from Chung Cheng, the going ons werent so serious, everyone was at a more, relaxed mood. Then we sang the national athem before sitting down again, the principal had his speech. Was kinda long actually, about one hour and fifteen minutes.

Think its a very different school in there compared to chung cheng, they try to instill national values again and again, and the teachers and principal made ir clear a few times, that they would rather have us do it ourselves, and not, by forcing. Made people feel comfortable, and since today s the first day of school, there wasnt any real teaching or what. Just stone around in class. Okay la, enough about the first day of school. I dont know why, sometimes I still think this isnt real.

By the way, I think Singapores education and the afters of education's going in the wrong way. I know yada yada, people reading this will go " please lar, you kena kicked out you talk so much for what?" , but please, what are they aiming for us to be? The answer seems to be an all-rounder. And its precisely because everyone thats gone through 10 years of education are all-rounders that there are so many jobless people now. Do singaporeans specialise in anything?? This very paper or you call it degree, is so freaking important in current times, or people say so. Look at China, they specialise in racket and traditional sports, they're undisputed. Now onto the European countries; at least they prove to beat Asians hands down when it comes to soccer, wrestling and basketball. Now I am not saying that it is wrong in providing the kind of education we have over here now, but, isn't the emphasis too much already? Where are the talent-plucking systems? Where are the professionals in their respective ways? For soccer, can we only rely on Chinese internationals? Are we, now this may sound crude, but have to depend on these rejected-in-their-own-countries players? Stop about the sport school, they accept only who they think are elite. Set up more professional clubs for goodness sake. Singapore cannot rely on foreign talents all the time. You may say we cannot do it without them. Then i shall kindly remind you of causeway soccer at fandi ahmad's era? I think I'm sounding a little, off the topic already so I guess thats all for today.

I hate masquerades. I think that life is cruel and want to change it. But to do that, I would have to firstly change my life. Hmmm. Enjoys sports and physical activities, but am going through a bad patch after a horrible injury.

Im bored stiff at the moment. Ha
