Are we really Sheep? Stick to the Culture!
This is an really food for thought. Singapore is cultivating an entire generation of lost sheep. It really has to do with Rewards, meritocracy. Good grades are the rewards, and active thinking and understanding the material just sometimes gets you nowhere. Rote learning gets you the results. Lack of criticism is a disease that is present in all levels of social interaction in Singapore, probaby evolved from the early PAP days. (yeah blame the government that's what we're all good at doing)
I wonder if this disease is local or does it affect students overseas too. I don't study overseas so I won't know. But the PRC students at NUS are pretty vocal.
Since we're on the topic of bashing the Singaporean Education system.
Yeah NUS doesn't return exam papers. FoR @#@%! I don't know. How are we suppose to know what we got wrong if we don't get it back. We all wait for the model answers do not think for our selves. ya that's the case, I see people begging for model answers on forums but get back a "we're in the Tertiary level now, think and work it out yourself" from the lecturer. Then I see people saying the lecturers are lazy, blah blah, not doing their work. It's tough trying to cultivate a thinking society without garnering criticism.
Meet the fockers wasn't quite as i expect. It was funny, but forcibly funny. The plot sucks. Whatda expect from a forced sequel. Go watch it if and only if you're really bored. Next movie to watch : HITCH, stars Will smith. I have no idea when it's opening. Wait b4 that I wanna watch Phantom of the opera. Anyone?
Just saw the next Tim Burton Movie in First ~ Charlie and the chocolate Factory. I can't wait. Stars Johnny Depp. The release date is in July. Sighz
School's starting next mon. I can't wait for the next Sem to start. This is so exciting.Where all the sheep will come together again and follow the Sherpard. baa baa... baa ram you.. baa baa..
I really enjoyed the KTV Session I had on Monday. Even though the Macdonalds foldover sucks. damn zw still owe me money. now interest to 10 bucks liao.
An EXTREMELY BIG thank You to Pt for her Liang Jing ru/ Dai Penny concert.
