Yes, its me. Nope, not a mirage. Been really unbelievably busy. F&N coursework is seriously life-draining, all the work- unbelievable. I am sure that everyone would have unhappiness and regrets along this tedious journey of life -I am no exception of course. I usually wonder wonder wonder, why am i born in singapore? Why am i born in a meritocracy country whereby merit is tantamount to crediblity and "talent". I am born in a family which demands near-perfect academic results from me. Half of this family of people all have a dogmatic mindset that only with academic results only then you will excel, Or else? Failure, duh Failure?= Garbage cleaner, sweeper.. etc All these are ACTUALLY true to a certain extend, yet there are other points which have been overlooked. Are these academic results the only virtue or "substance" in a person's worth? Arent other talents, skills or abilities people have useful or worthy to be proud of? It all depends on how a person feels. Yet, it is completely delusional for anyone to simply assume that only academic results will bring a person somewhere in life.
