Stressed?

The craziest news of all educational news (apart from the sex scandal), NTU's stabbing.

Upon my (unofficial) graduation from SP, I wonder if SP has the potential for such an event. Taking the level of stress and work piled on us over the 3 years, yes it might have. It's not because SP is making our course fees worth, but rather as our students are getting more intelligent, the world around them constantly evolves and develops. It develops at such a pace that it is virtually impossible for the educational system to catch up.

Here's an example...
A few years ago, The Internet was nothing but a military project. But take a look today! The whole world's built using The Internet. Quotations are sent online, advertisements are spammed online, information is sourced online, conferences are held online, operations are conducted online, romance is made online and the list goes on.

And what has all this have to do with our students?
They are the ones who have to take on the load of all the information created that is said to make our lives easier, simpler and more interactive.(Just look at the irony) Students have to learn how to operate and capitalise on these technologies and developments. And if educational institutes don't add these extra lessons, then their lessons won't be current.

So is it really the school or the education system that pushes the envelops for students?
The answer is actually simple. None. Just take a look. Society is the mastermind, while the education system, schools, syllabus and all are mere variable that change due to that.

So, students that gripe that school's too tough for you, do understand that it is not your teacher's choice to make life difficult for you, it's your life that made it difficult for yourself.

Starting A New.

Some might have heard, some might have suspected.

Yes, single, single. Is it a really big deal? Hahaha. So much for not posting, now everyone's left with so much to read. Ok, I'll keep things short.

Finished my internship and it's safe to say that I'm done with school. Apart from waiting for the presentation of certificates in (probably) may, I am free to do almost anything I want. And I think I'm in need of a breath of overseas air. Yes, yes, I want to leave Singapore for a few days and just relax.

Next, I'm single. Nothing exciting here. We're still good friends. :)

Emceed for SPARC's Annual Dinner and Dance. Would have to say it wasn't much of emceeing but more of getting the event flow going. It was rather difficult to emcee since the entire night felt more like a long awaited gathering more than a sit-down-and-eat-dinner. But it was great all-in-all.

Met old friends from SPARC, Izzat, Hafiz, Kent, Kai Tian, Evelyn, Nicholas, Ferman, ect. And also started friendships with new faces, Shine(I didn't catch her real name), Patricia, Pricilla(if that's how it's spelt), Alvin and more.

Had a lasting impression of one of my friends. Serves as a *new* reminder when adversaries sprout and obstruct. *Yes you are strong*

-reflection-

We never seem to be able to see how trivial our problems are most of the time. We get so engulfed within pure ignorance and arrogance that we just refuse to take that step back and take a good look.

I used to think that my life was a dread. That maybe I had the crappiest journey in the whole of mankind. But not any longer. Life's not just about conforming to me. It's about making the best out of it for myself.

Yes yes, emo thoughts. And I'm conversing with blogger here. Gosh...
