my alma mater
In life you go through institutions after institutions to get the education you need to be ready for the outside world. Some opt to go to the polytechnic route while others brave the college route and sometimes they might meet each other in the university......Singapore has come a long way in education....from the limited to the many choices now.
It used to be Primary --> Secondary ---> JC ----> University or Primary ---> Secondary --->Polytechnic. That was basically it but now there are so many choices you can take....One choice I regret was that I didn't even gave overseas education a thought. It was Singapore till the end and it is now biting me in the bum right now...... I personally think that the Singapore's education is really good but there are some really major flaws......those that are pretty obvious to anyone......
Talking about my alma mater......I loved the times in SAJC......the times where even though I was kinda stretched but still I had fun.....(I always thought that A levels are not easy actually....lol). Now I am just stretched but not having fun.....To those who are out there saying that university is easy than A levels.........next time please add a disclaimer like except for certain faculty like you know what....of course there is some truth to that statement......but my friend gave me that advice and I just took it for granted....darn...
Anyway....this year's batch of miss universe is really special for me......the girls are actually pretty decent compared to the past years....and there are 2 SAJCians in the top 18......they were actually from my batch.....one of them is a friend of mine called Yifei.....the short hair spunky girl....who is best known as the one in the dove commercial while the other one is Genecia....I didn't even noticed her in the previews until Bran said that she looked familiar.....I don't think she used Genecia in college but who cares....lol....anyway she got the second runner up and she basically the front horse in the swimsuit and evening gown section......pretty decent man....and her swimsuit section was actually jaw dropping cos I didn't remembered her to be that way....lol.......
anyway Genecia....if you are reading this, please drop me a note ya..to your fellow schoolmate....I am impressed....I might be able to give you some Q & A tuition though...lol...
