4 more days
Dear TomHa,
Hmm.. I think taking the programming module had resulted in a faster typist in me, haha, maybe can do something like that in the holidays, but nevermind, that is not the point.. Oh yah, before I forget again, Hello Zhijia! Surprised that you would find your way to my blog, how you doing in London (Or is it michigan already...)? Haha, I not surviving very well in NUS though.. Outcasted, lonely and activity-less.. You know, I never was a really good in academic stuff...

Wanted to blog about this few days back but perhaps the drudgery of books and examinations had made me forget, in any case, this is perhaps a really important issue that the Singapore government should take note of in parliament instead of the casino issue ALL the time. If people know me well enough, I am like those sort of person who always go for the seats at the front of the bus. I don't know why, but I never liked sitting at the back. Hence, as a result, I am always the one who had to give up my seats to those who need it more than me, albeit very grudgingly (it was a moral obligation, not willingness on my part.. no matter). However, there was this day when I was like pushed to the back and I, very surprisingly did not fall asleep on my way home.. Hence, I decided to take the chance to observe a little bit about the people in bus. But what I observed was rather depressing. The bus I was taking had lots of undergraduates (Books on hand, looked rather young, boarded the bus in front of Arts, SDE and Engine). Nothing was happening except for the fact that these group of undergraduates were like shouting at the top of their voices.. Undergratuates don't know etiquette ar? Never mind, I never had any etiquette anyway, BUT.. as the bus pass by IMM, the bus-stop whereby many elderly people with big bags of vegetables from GIANT often board this popular bus number. They boarded, stood beside those loud talkking undergraduates, and maintained this status quo. Luckily, there is this ITE guy sitting at the back of those filthy undergraduates who gave up his seat to the pitiful old woman. So, what can you infer from this? Students from the premier institute of Singapore, ranked 18th in the world do not know the simple moral obligation that is expected of every single common folk? I guess Minister Tharman should stop working on how to cut chinese syllabus in school( Funny I never found them heavy during my time studying them) and work on how this phenomenon can be absolved.. @#$%^ The education system in Singapore is nurturing elites who had no sense of moral obligation for the society at large. I think University of Kirgizia(Kenya) should rank at a better position than NUS...@#$%

Alright, enough goofing for the day.. time for more maths... sianzzz...
