I guess the last time I updated this blog, dinosaurs roamed the earth. Ok maybe i'm exaggerating way too much but I hope you get it. Spent half of the day watching sermons from different cds as 'asked' by my mother. I guess weekly religious classes for 11 years aren't enough.

And that brings me to today's crux of this post: Education. As you all know this is a hot issue in Singapore. In this case, formal education. Our obsession for the best grades and top schools coupled with and a growing army of tutors, amateur and professional, taking advantage of this and offering high fees. In order to survive in this day and age, a degree is required. And as we chase this, we learn various subjects. I don't get one thing: why study so may subjects when ultimately, we're only learning one subject in university? What's the point of getting an A for something you'll forget in the near future? And remember, we paid loads of money in order to reach that 'goal'.

But of course I do understand there is one advantage of this. you're able to realise your potential across various disciplines. What if you aspire to be a businessman since young, but after trying a science subject, you found out that you'd be better off in the R&D industry?

Education is so complex and I don't have much time to rant more about it, so i'll leave you guys to ponder about it.

Well anyway I guess this blog needs a huge makeover.....
