sMaRt PpL
could it b tt the singapore education system causes a great divide in our culture??
when i was much younger.. like when im 9 yrs old.. i rem i was in the top class.. some tot tt i would realli excel in my studies and go far in life.. but i didnt.. my class has ppl who ar gifted and they realli work hard 4 their results.. furthermore when birds of the same flock come 2gether.. there's realli no stoppin them in their drive in life..
i became the 3rd student tt's from the bottom at tt time..
from tt on i hav a prob against all the gifted and smart ppl.. i tink they ar so irrelevant 2 the society coz they live in their own world w/o realizin the agony and pain tt this real world lives.. i began 2 mix wif "real friendz" where we always spend time 2gether and we realli commit ourselves into each other lives.. of coz the friendz tt i mix wif ar not the bad company of the sch.. but the ppl who ar scrappin thru life wif all the difficulties they face and the challenges they met..
when im in sec sch im in the top class again.. i felt tt my true friendz ar those from the other classes becoz they ar the one who ar not obsessed wif books and knowledge but wif the practical things and the challenges of life.. as a result.. i grew up wif them on 1 hand.. havin an adequate knowledge and education and on the other.. bein "low-class" in society in terms of the things i do..
as i grew older.. i despise more who made it 2 the top becoz they dunno ppl like us but i noe them coz i studied in top classes b4.. at times i would jus shame their knowledge and beat them at their own game but i dunwan 2 b recognized as omeone who is brainy coz i tink they ar jus nerds!!
the result?? as i interact wif ppl ard me who were JC students.. scholars.. top students etc etc.. i would realli feel uneasy at times despite holdin my peace wif them.. but if things get messy this is wat i would do..
"bloody hell u scholar *##%$$%^^^!! u tink u yaya papaya tink u verii gd izzit!! all u guys noe is 2 burn ur books into ashes and drink down wif water.. anyhow flunt ur knowledge.."
then i'll demonstrate my knowledge which will most of the time shock them.. statin a pt tt im no ordinary hokkien peng.. (btw the *###%T%^& doesn't mean anythin.. coz tt doesn't meant i'll spat vulgarities on these ppl.. coz i noe they will retaliate..)
there ar many exceptions.. ppl who were realli smart and at the same time they ar verii down 2 earth.. these kinda ppl i respect... but sometimes they could b verii proud which makes things rather frustratin..
