And so, i received a edusave merit bursary today. A $400 cheque.

Plus another one i received last year and an extra Eagles award for year 2010 of $150 or $200 i'm not sure i haven't went to collect it yet, it makes a total of $950 to $1000.

So, it can be said that my "salary" earned for this roughly 2 years of jc is a thousand bucks. Hmm. Miserable wage especially when we take a look at the packed curriculum of a junior college.... but wait, i am getting conceited here but it seems a little not difficult to get ranked top 25%, i am even a little surprised when i know i will received this merit bursary.... maybe i am the last few to squeeze in.

Hmm maybe i am boasting too much here already.



(And speaking about wage, mainstream media (MSM) kept harping about "amazing" GDP growth, but the average Singaporean's wage are sliding down. Don't the men-in-whites learn that GDP is not a good indicator about economic progress and level of development of the country? Oh yeah, the average Singaporean who don't take jc economics or social engineering don't know. Yeah if import 5 billion foreigners into Sinkapore then confirm GDP will grow by 3258% loh.
And lol the bullshit that the MSM churned out that "Singapore's judiciary system is top in a global survey", while leaving out the fact that we are only top in 2 out of 8 factors, and in other factors, Singapore scored real bad.

Anyway, last time, probably in secondary school times and sometimes in jc, i thought the adults don't understand how we students are being stressed out with studies, grades, discipline masters, bullies, gangsters, fitting in etc; it sucked to be studying, working seems to be better.
And the adults kept telling us, "You, as a student, just have to study hard, that's all, simple as that."
I ignored that advice to some extent.

But now, after i had spent some time working, i actually preferred studying instead (or maybe it's just me lol) , as compared to the boring or repetitive and sometimes technical work, where the boss/manager wants to see productivity, and plus i witnessed some minor politics/backstabbing and so i have to be nice, make sure and pray hard i won't become a victim.

And at least when studying there are many subjects to choose what to study for the moment, so not as boring, and while teachers kept saying "no more spoonfeeding" they are (mostly, though) actually worrying a lot about us and doing what they can to help us.


And there is also the advice from some old co-workers in that delivery job i took recently, to "Study hard, you're given the opportunity, if not you'll end up like us."





This time round, despite saying this a lot of times, i really regret not adding that extra push while studying in the past.






I think i am gonna cry or jump down the building when i get my A level results weeks later.










Anyway, back to that edusave merit bursary ceremony today. The wait from after registration to the actual receiving of the cheque itself is kinda long, but i had experienced worst waits and stoning (in that customer profile surveyor job i had, 4 hours times 2 days).

So i went to look around. I was kinda surprised to see, among many other things, females not outnumbering males. Surprised because there seems to be the trend that girls are better academically than guys, and are getting even better as time passes.


(YES GUYS KEEP IT UP DON'T LET GIRLS OWN US)


.....then again, this is so far only what i see here, in this residential area.


So, why do females seem smarter than males?

(I write "seem" because being good in studies doesn't always equate to being smart, then again, being smart allows one to be good in studies)





CUZ MALES ARE FUN LOVING.



AND I AM A MALE CHAUVINIST, PERIOD.

Currently hooked on classical Touhou music arranges from TAMusic. Seriously, they are awesome.

Touhou Fan.


Listens mostly to Touhou doujin music

(Because the creator of Touhou (ZUN) is damn talented, his BGM for the game series are godly, including the game series he made itself, and hence many dedicated groups of musicians do arranges of his original BGM)

Very Japanese-oriented, absolutely not Korean-crazy like the crowd out there

Watches Japanese anime



Wants to do, learn and try many, many things, but finds it hard to find the time, commitment, and energy to do all of that


Life is short, and i want mine to be especially so
