Looking for a light

Blogspot has been giving me tons of problems since a few days ago, so much so even pissed off Cecil, who now wants to blog on friendster. I think friendster is doing realli well, and the additional features are making it a one stop for almost everything....

Today i was speaking to Bow after the Wednesday meeting and I remember telling him that at the end of the day, both of us were gonna leave SMU with economics degrees, and so will another 200 plus people, this is of cos discounting the many, many other students who will leave NUS with economics degrees too...

So what sets us apart? I asked him....The answer I said, was our character, something of which I was trying to help him build up. So far my experience in NS has been enligthening to a certain sense, I see people like SC CPL Benjamin, who has ORDd and whose work ethic is without a doubt second to none. And he prob has an ITE or O Level Cert. Then again, i see other people whose paper qualifications are much better but whose character is worse, haha the senior officers of cos being ONE of the most obvious examples....hahaha.

But the sad thing is of cos, thatpeople wif character are often not spotted and instead the people with qualifications are the one getting the high jobs, high pay. So far, the people whose paper qualifications match their character has been far and few....hmmm.....let me think now..... so far no apparent answers.

But thats the sad sad way of the world isnt it? Oh well, I wish I could find a way around it, but the reality is that we have to go thru it. I think people in SIngapore have a very skewed view of reality. To many in Singapore, i believe reality is an excuse, an excuse not to try, no to have courage, not to face challenges, and of cos the excuse to just slack and remain where they are. Think about it, no one dares to do what they wanna do, everybody just tries to force themselves into the "Singaporean Template" and in the end who are the ones who complain?

The very same people. Yes Singaporeans we are all hypocrites, complaining everyday about everything, yet not having the slightest courage to change a thing. We think we are such an advanced nation, i think all we have created is a tiny hell hole one corner of the world full of unfeeling, cowards, who think they are great.

Some kinda country.

Oh well, lest i be arrested by ISD, let me stop here, these are just my comments, so feel free to rebut.

Next time somebody tells you,

"Be realistic..."
