whims whims whims
all these complains in singapore are driving me insane......
the forum is the best place for me to read all the nonsense singaporeans come up with......
firstly you complain about the seats in dhoby ghaut mrt station...yes i agree...those seats are really darn slippery but is it so important to make a big deal out of it.....I sat on it, slipped a little and dealt with it...... complaining that its a hazard and all that little information which I clearly have forgotten are just too frivolous......(something like that tall benches cannot be reach by short ppl, the short benches are still slippery) Really.....is it necesssary to have such a big tirade over a bench that you are going to sit for probably at most 5 minutes.....so let's not have any benches in train stations then since they are such a hazard....
secondly a parent complained about a tough maths PSLE paper and claimed that his son being in the top class in one of the top schools came home depressed and started crying over the paper and still had a paper the next day. And he said exams should be set in a way not to demoralise the students since the PSLE is just to stream students to secondary schools......(brain fart for a minute cos i have so much in my mind and nothing to type)
immediately jumping on the bandwagon is this lady who wrote "Yes I agree that this year's Maths paper was indeed difficult" Ermmm.. hello....how would you know that....you mean you saw the maths paper your child took?
This is hubris....so are we going to set exams based on students morales.....so why not just give them a primary 1 standard paper and make them all happy or better still give them a perfect score for the PSLE to make them all happy so all of them can go RI, RGS or something....And since they both agreed that its not an important exam, WHY do you even bother to go to the extent of complaining if to you its NOT important. Again another classic example of DEAL WITH IT! (probable case of this person is that his son is aiming for 100 but thinks he got 99 and went home crying)
Singaporeans have the nads to complain but never have the ability to suck it up.......plain and simple and they complain on things that they should just take it in their stride. yaah I hate people who walk slow and especially those who choose to do that at the end of the escalator which would possibly cause an avalanche of human beings but do I go to the forum.....I DEAL WITH IT cos I know some people are just slow..........and that would be a prime example of a hazard...not slippery seats....
this post may sound angry but I really am not....Singaporeans must learn to be gracious or Singapore will never move forward......
