Update

I realised I haven't been updating my blog recently so here's some random stuff for those who still check back here occasionally(and then have to go to some other blog/site in disgust because it's not updated.)

Every day's the same. Wake up, get to school, sleep in class, come home then start doing up projects. You know those people who said Year 3 was honeymoon?

Bullshit.

Year 2 was hectic, no doubt, with staggering amounts of curriculum to be covered(and memorised for some modules), but hell, isn't that what everyone does?

Singapore's education system as a whole focuses itself mainly on remembering stuff. Like the way back in secondary school, where you studied for one year(taking the final year before O levels as an example), and then sat for 24 hours of papers which determine how much you can remember(and most probably decide the fate of your life.)

So right now emphasis is placed on thinking stuff, with projects and such. But projects are so much more taxing than just plain memorising but the number of modules are the same. It's maddness! And a particular module(Bioxxxxvation =D) requires work more than its credit's worth. 2 measly credits, and we have to slog so much. Every week kena shoot, all because of certain information that companies do not divulge.

Maybe if the workload was cut we'd all fare better :)







PS: Happy Birthday again Ham Ham :)
