Here is where it shall start!
Another saturday, dull dull saturday. Ever though what having a life means? Well, its definitely not what I'm doing now. Been sitting in the library since 10am struggling to write a stupid paper. 6 hours later (its 4pm now) and what have I achieved? 80% of a pathetic looking introduction, a blog entry to my personal blog and starting a newer, more crappy blog. Looking at my personal blog, I decided to split up my personal tragedy-life with my crappy cock talking life so here I am!
What should I start complaining about? Lets start with Uni life, okay? Nearing the end of my 4 year university life, with the hope of next semester being easier and more motivated than the last, I found that I have really learnt nothing much here! By the way, I'm in NTU, the 'less hip' Uni in Singapore. On that topic, I feel that I have the obligation to defend my school for abit. Why do people like to discriminate our dress sense? What is point of wearing very stylish clothes when our campus is tucked away in one corner of this island? I really see no point in that but I have to admit that I'm belong to the typical t-shirt and bermudas category. So please leave it as that and stop critisizing us already, we like what we wear! Oh yah, and gals, shorter is better, okay?
Enough of the distraction! Back to the topic on Uni education. So after 4 years or more of Uni education and being $20K poorer after paying the school fees, what do we have? Just a piece of paper saying that you have completed Uni education. So is the education important or that paper being the more important one? Don't ask me that, I still trying to figure out what have I learnt here. Anyway the grading system here is seriously flawed too. Grades, being one of the more important factor that determines whether you get employed and how much will you be paid is still based on exams only. What happened to the so called 'creative education' that the government has been preaching for ages? Creative questions in exams means creative education? Oh, please save this crap for someone else. For those alien like beings who have the knack of absorbing everything, and I really mean EVERYTHING, in the syllabus into their brain have been stepping poor local students like me every year! Allow me to define the term step. Step, action of doing better in exam than the rest. Stepper; one who steps other people. Steppee; one who is stepped on. Have a better understanding on the term already? Good. I have to say that for 3.5 years, I have been a steppee for the most parts here and only for a few lucky modules have I been fortunate enough to be a stepper. You may think that I'm stupid or what. Well, you are right! I'm not one of the super smart, alien like beings but I'm hardworking for most parts of the semester! (emphasis on the word MOST) So does that mean that with those aliens around, poor normal beings like me will have to settle for a second rated grade and ultimately, a second rated job? I mean, seriously, is this fair?
After so much of a serious talking I'm also hungry already. Only had breakfast for today and its 430pm soon. Talk about a crash diet. Hahaha. Shall end the first entry here then.
