Swimming the other day with the girls was just as fun. I woke up on a monday morning, feeling all bright and happy. i finally get to see these dearies over the week. One more left would be Miss Lim, since she's away. oh wells. i'd see her really soon too.
I read Blurt! (a skool mag) on mondae. I thought it has really some good stuffs written in there.
Especially frm a year 3 SIS student that splashes his commenting on the mugging culture in SMU.
he said:"i have been part of numerous groups where the only goal has been to achieve an A grade, at the expense of everything else..Everywhere i look i see the same patterns of behaviour. Students mimicking other students. i see our peers, moving in heards, thinking, acting, sounding the same. i see a never ending obsession with scoring A's , often by choosing paths of guaranteed success, instead of challenging ourselves or learning something new. So are we all doomed to a future of mugging and carefully scripted presentations?...It all boils down to a simple reason: we are just afraid to fail. It is this fear of screwing up tt makes SMU students hesistant in taking risks, and try smthing new. As a result, we stick to a proven formula. We repeat what has been done before because it works. Perhaps this is a by product of living in a society where 2nd chances are hard to find. The singaporean education system which shapes an individual's future based on a single set of examinations, is not tolerant to failure. .... sense of "do or die" instills in many of us. ... while i do not disagree with its effectiveness, it creates artifical boundaries and limits our choices.
Our time here in SMU should not just be about memorising financial formulas or writing reports. Our time here should also be spent learning things that apply to our lives. If we fall, we can pick ourselves up again. If we face smthing new, embrace it. If convention isnt good enough, dont settle."
--MuhammadDen again, how many SMU students would read this mag? I guess most of them spend time reading their textbooks. All that he mentioned is exactly what i felt. But i know, many of them wouldnt even see themselves falling. and if they really do, i think they would just take flight off the roofs of their homes rather than picking themselves up again. Poor A+ souls.
