Well, I’m proud to say that I’m a product of the local school system. Albeit incomplete, but yes, I’m a part of it all right.
From K1 till today.
Well, I wasn’t exactly the model student, but in my formative years I did pretty well for a while, before I got dragged into the mire by the usual lot of boys’ toys. Football, Micro Machines, Nintendo, Sega, just some of the bit parts of my childhood.
Block catching, blah blah.
But still, I didn’t really go on a “slide”. Sure, I was no longer top dog, but well, remaining in the upper echelons of the school system isn’t doing too bad either, is it? I was never born to be a PSC scholar or whatever, neither was I born an athlete. I’m just plain, old, normal me.
Typical life story for every child. Go to school. Do your homework, study for your exam. Pass, or fail. It’s all by the book. It’s all planned nicely. Structured. You only make your first choice at 16. By then, you’re so conditioned, if you’re like me, you’d just remain in your comfort zone and not venture out.
A few years in the service of the nation’ll harden you up, expose you to some of the realities of life.
If you’re lucky like me, you go on into university. There everything goes back to normal, again the books, the lessons. But kudos to the university system. It’s really evolving.
I see promise.
To the future generation: Make sure you take the opportunities we have been creating for you.
Learn to fly, where we once learned to run.

Cameo watch: 1x unidentified B9TL was on 8, and 7408M (SP/12) was on 21! First time B9TL cameo from BN for 21? Oh, and a Dennis Dart (42) was on 29. Funny to see that short short bus running around on a normal trunk service.
