Good evening fellow earthlings,
I just woke up from my beauty and sexy sleep. Now i am going to write a topic which has been bugging me for the past 18 years of my life - Education.
Since young i have been brainwashed by the upper authorities regarding the importance of high education, or meritocracy, in Singapore. But education, is it really
that important?
Firstly, i think that i am a messed up person. I like to read anything and everything. Just throw me a random book or article, i will definitely kick it back at your face.. I mean i will read it. On one condition that i don't find out its a school textbook. The thought of it, just send shivers down my spine, my body becomes weak, my head starts spinning, mouth turns coarse and dry, hands start slapping people etc. You get what i mean.
Frankly speaking, what are you able to achieve by going to pri to sec to jc/poly to ns(girls may ignore this option) to uni. Are you able to fly with your hair flapping or shoot fireballs from your mouth or even knock your head on the wall with your seasoned head without any injury? Maybe there are, but its not the majority. But i am sure they would feel accomplished in life, which is good.
However,do these people suffer or enjoy going through these education processes i wonder. Ive read somewhere that people living in the mountains such as in Tibet have a higher appreciation of life- milking cows, chasing dragons and battling ancient ninjas. This might be due to the slow pace of life compared to the hectic lifestyle of the urban civilization. Eg. Singapore
I am sure many people out there have been harbouring thoughts of quitting school or scraping off education from their schedule. I know i have, and still am. This might be due to the blinding of reality with the simple pleasures in life such as playing computers games to going out everyday with friends playing catching. These are times when you wish time would just stop. Until the dreaded Monday arrives when you have to report to school that an invisible bitch, bitch slaps you back to reality. Projects, assignments, exams. Burden burden. So how?
Some people who take the option to fail or when it is just pure unluckyness tend to compare their results with other humans alike. For example
Boy A, "Eh how much you got for your ****?"
Boy B, "Siala i got everything F except for.. err for.. CCA and er.. recess"
Boy A, "What.. the.. farque!! Are you serious! Same la ci(bai)wawa!!"
Boy B, "Eh then lets go open chalet! or holiday! woohoo!"
..dumb. they forgot that they already in the last day of holiday when they met coincidentally somewhere.
This is a fictional story not related to anybody.
Ok2 this post is wayyyy too long, so I'll just add abit more. So people, i feel that you should believe in whats best for you, i know that i want to make it to the uni.
It is ironic for me to talk about study as i have done minimal study (about 5% complete) and my exams are next Tuesday. What only want to get into uni and shizz. hahaha
Ok i thinks that's long enough.
Back to sleepyland!
