1st day of school... haha

Hmm, feels quite happy to go to lessons, haha maybe it is due to the fact that i have been slacking too much... being able to do something that actually feels progressive is good.
Anyway, first week got lecture no tutorial, so quite relax.. (if not for the CCA recruitment fair, i will be even slacker)...
Hmmm.... read this off some notes.. haha apparently to "kill" off the Singaporean students in exam, juz throw them into unchartered waters... guaranteed swift and silent death... it seems we were, and are still taught that mugging is the way to get good results(thinking ability second, mugging first -_-!!)... but does having good results means that we are capable? apparently not... so how?
I heard from more than 1 person (namely my Sociology Professor and my bro [2 diff ppl, >.<]) that we should not sacrifice the quality of our education for the sake of exams, or rather, we should not let exams affect the quality of our education... and.. i agree to that almost totally... however, alot of us know that we still need paper qualification... so how again??
Well, i guess the best way is to do both, i.e. mug and at the same time learn the skills of studying... this is definitely hard, but this is definitely wat i am striving at... however, the next option will be to reduce the mugging part, and emphasize more on life long skills like adapting to new environment, learning things constantly, etc. Well, this may be a bit against normal trend but i believe that it will pay off as you work longer, as such abilities and skills really differentiates u from the rest...
Haiz, guess i am thinking too much, but i really need to change, i have to be more disciplined...
haha meanwhile, i should gear myself to be more open minded, and even more critical abt the world ba...
