Singapore's Natural Education (SNE 03)

Today, as a velli velli guai kia in school, I have learnt that:

1. It is actually possible to come in time for JS lecture! Despite it being 10 a.m. in the morning! *yawn*

2. The first discount I've seen that most Singaporeans won't love:

"Failure to submit project outline by Friday results in immediate DISCOUNT of grade by 10%!"

3. As spoken by Japanese lecturer: "Education is a very impotent structure...especially in affecting society..."

4. Of course, we now know why Japan has such a low birth rate.

5. Not as low as Singapore, I must hasten to add. Especially since education is also very important here.

6. Reading other people's blog helps me to understand why they do what they do more. Unfortunately, minus the normal affection and friendship that usually comes with that.

7. How to speak Singlish, I mean English, the Japanese way.

Social class = "social grass"
Family = "farmily"
mobility = "mo-bidity"
common = "co-men" ('co' as in 'co-operation', or 'co-ma' *the state I am in right now*; and 'men' as in 'ye-men')
original = oRh-ree-gee-nile (with the same tone as saying o-ri-ga-mi)
Japanese = JAH-PAH-niss (looks like some hokkien swear word)

How we call the middle class, that is another matter = Cow we coal duh middle grass, dud ees another MA-tuh.

8. I feel fab at being able to learn 2 new 'languages' in one sem: Hongkie and Jappie.
