Where the Swan Sings

Hear my swansong. well not really. its probably (hopefully) gg to be the last time in some time till i blog again, cos of course, my dear favouritest time of the year, prelims-time is coming up very soon - tmr.

haii n i'm so unprepared.

especially for chem. n physics too. n the blardy f-maths paper which i stardied so hard for is at the very end. buh...

oh well, hopefully i can get the required results.

anw, a random point:

i was typically disgusted by an ad i saw today. pasted up on the walls of a shopping centre (in kovan) hurhur... right in full view of everybody, there was a pic of sum naked woman. well she was covered in the extremely vital parts by fruit. (yes, fruit).

but typically, in our conservative society, nobody (especially those overly conscious of making our society more liberal) considers the feelings of the conservative pple, whom i feel still makes up a majority here. n being conservative, they dont reli speak out, do they? vicious cycle.

and then theres the issue on parents being outlawed from beating their children. i pray this nvr happens to our society, cos i truly believe, as sum1 who has been thru whacking n is thankful for that, that sparing the rod spoils the child.

of course, some say that parents promote violence yada-yada-yada. but well, if a parent beats out of love (i.e. for the better of the child) its called disciplining. effective disciplining.

i fear for the future, seeing the spoilt brats that some more-liberal countries where parents dont hv a hand in disciplining their students. its come to a stage where students are even allowed to utter vulgarities at their teachers. *raises eyebrows*.

if the teachers of past saw this they'll either laugh at the joke that is discipline or cry at the lack of it.

thankfully, currently singapore still disciplines kids to a large extent, even if that extent is being reduced, as teachers' role in disciplining kids are severely restricted by parents who tend to spoil their kids. its quite amusing that even i, as a "modern day child", wld be terrified to return home n tell my parents my teacher scolded me, for fear of getting an even bigger scolding at home. whereas kids nowadays, upon complaining to their parents, would see their teachers getting into trouble.

this is how one breeds spoilt, albeit often intelligent, brats.

so the dilemma tends to this one: intelligence, or morals... pick one.

thats enough from me n this atypical entry.. hurhur.. so..

cheers, n peace~

n to all those suffering under the burden of exams,

Good Luck~! (n sleep early)
