reading this got my blood boiling for a couple of reasons. let me quote "Perhaps polite treatment of others is something not taught in schools of tomorrow's elites, which explained why I did not chose RI even when I easily met the criteria for it, and instead went for The Chinese High School. What a fine choice. We were taught to behave like and become real gentlemen there." alright, pardon me for saying this but it's unwarranted and unfair comments like this that makes me think that there are stupid people out there. don't get what i mean? read again and you will see. in all seriousness, no need to brag that you have good results. obviously, if you can get into TCHS, then you probably can get in RI too. "I easily met the criteria for it.." how uncalled for. pui! zx tells me not to be so uptight. but we have to defend what we believe in, and i do believe that my alma mater actually makes an effort to inculcate character building and leadership and whatever tosh into our learning. of course i do not deny the obvious FACT that academic pursuit (and that includes rote learning at some point) is the main thing. the rest are just the supporting cast, everyone knows that.
ok, enough nonsense. there are too many people with too much time on their hands. and COME ON, a blog is just a space for people to write and be merry. if you don't like what you are reading, you can either shut your eyes, smash your computer or read a book. all said, i also totally disagree with the actions and strongly worded comments by the wee rjc girl. i may be over-generalising but i tend to dislike the type of of class of or whatever of background she's from. people who have never seen the world, and yet think they know everything. oh well. maybe they do know everything, everything they want to know. whatever happened to The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing maybe thinking straight went out of style?
