i should be studying company law, but i come across the article that states that the singapore is considering the possibility of schools teaching chinese in english. i think that this is a total joke. even though i studied chi lang and lit during jc, i always thought that the A grade that i gotten from a levels does not reflect my ability in chinese at all. for one thing, i think that the chi being taught in school is only at a very superficial level. our std of chinese has always been limited to the zaoju and the 250 idioms that are memorised to heart by the local students. and tt's all. so i really cant imagine what our standard of chinese will be in years down the road if what's said is really being implemented.

 

Sometimes, i think it's precisely of the policies that the goverment implemented that results in the dwindling standard. i came from a chi-speaking family, and i admit there was difficultly in grasping the english language when i went to school. and i believe this is still a problem for many children from the lower income families. so, does it mean that we are going to have a education system that segregates them in the future? there's no one mtd to teach the whole population, so perhaps in the future we should teach these students english in chinese and those weak in chinese in english? this sounds ridiculous.

my brain is a running tap-.-

whatever goes in flows out.

 

anw one interesting fact from my sociology elective "The surest and easiest way to get rich is to born rich"

and overnight riches is an absolute myth.! haha they are really written on the notes!

 

gambate!

went to extract my wisdom tooth today, actually it was a really spontaneous decision!

my gums has been swelling for the past week, so decided to book an appointment at the sch clinic.

happened that nobody was in the clinic, so managed to see the dentist straight away.

so the dentist told me that my wisdom tooth was protruding horizontally, so suggested extracting.. otherwise the inflammation will cont.

initially i was rather reluctant to extract it, cause i cant stand ath to do with the mouth. i have horrible memories from those tooth extraction during my braces' days!

in the end i still agreed to the extraction, cause the inflammation was rather painful anw. but but i totally forgot abt enquiring the price!!!

so i got a big big shock when the nurse told me to pay 330 bucks! luckily, when the dentist asked me whether to extract the upper wisdom tooth, i rejected thinking that the pain of extracting both will probably kill me. but to think of it now, i guess the pain probably wont kill, but the price tag wld definitely kill me. imagine the shock that i wld have if i extracted both which wld have cost a huge bomb of nearly $700!!!!

 

hai. my one mth tuition pay just bade me gdbye alrd!真是还钱买罪受! stupid wisdom tooth. how oxymoron.

next week still need to go remove the stitches, probably do some cleaning up too. recently i had those horrible dreams of mouth of decaying teeth.

 

anw exams coming in another 2 weeks time. this term seems to be like a fast-fwd video, everything seems to happen in a flash. even though the workload is v heavy at times, somehow i dont want sch to end so soon too. haha Man just can never be satisfied.

 

to myself, 아 자 fighting! you can do it!

either my weighing scale got a problem or all the stress is really taking a toll on my me.

Rah, the mipi essay really driving me nuts!!

Rah. fb = headache. I was never a frequent user of fb but im now scrutinising its terms and conditions to dig for loopholes tt support my essay. how ironic><

and my drive to perform has been dwindling, my attention span narrowing too.

seriously need to concentrate to get past the next two wks!

아자!
