Met up with Ning today after she finally ended her 6 months long attachment at Ritz Carlton. Ning's another of my Cedar fren whom I can not meet for veri long and still have lots to tok abt when we meet up! Watched Madagascar today...
"I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it. You like to MOVE IT!"Then I made her tell me all abt her "tao hua yun" over lunch and dinner... and she was saying that she realized something after doing her 6 months attachment at Ritz... The guys that follow the "traditional" education path in S'pore are not as street-wise, matured and definitely not gentlemanly, compared to those who actually "fall off" the system. The system meaning our usual "pri sch, sec sch, jc, ns, uni" system. She said when she was in JC, the guys walk through the door SHE opened for her girl frenz... in Ritz, every single guy there, young or old, treats her the way any woman would wan to be treated. She carry a heavy crate, someone will come to her rescue in seconds, end work too late, someone will send her home. And she told me that seriously speaking, all those working there majority are those whom have "fell off" the traditional education system. Which I cant argue obviously... judging from the way I'm complaining and lamenting abt how pathetic and ungentlemanly uni guys are.
So, what is it about our education system that shapes the best in studies, into the worst in character?Before we went home Ning accompanied me to Popular, I wanted to buy stamps and stickers for my cute new tuition kid. Ning said I should really be a teacher since subconsciously I'm already inclined to that field. I guess you would be too, if you'd been born into a family in which you have pri sch teachers, sec sch HODS, VPs, poly lecturers, and a grandfather who used to be a principal in his times. Maybe I really should just prepare myself into that path... somehow cant seem to imagine myself in any other occupation. Hmm... which means I should major in English instead of Soci... but pple lyk Liza will probably slap mi left right centre to discourage me frm doing so. Damn... I really have no idea wad to major!!!
Staying over at Ning's next week... and we can spend the entire night updating each other on ALL we've missed... especially our past crushes. We used to know everything abt each other's crushes!!! We even give them nicknames together! Oh dear... I miss those days in Cedar...
