The IP shenanigan is getting ridiculous. Why have so many schools fast tracking into Junior Colleges without the need to take A levels, and still retain the O levels. It seems so insignificant to sit for the examinations, get a grade and apply for another junior college, when half the cohort doesn't take it. The distinctions between the different school brands are just going to get worse. 6 years (or more) of being in a school defined by its name, isn't going to do a whole lot of good in integrating the entire cohort in Universities.

With the government pushing for IP, I don't see the easy way out for SC to keep the existing O level structure. We'll simply become obsolete, especially if the importance of the examination has diminished so much. To remain as an O level school would mean students taking the exams but the grades not meaning much. To go IP would then mean incurring the wrath of ex-students.

Honestly, what's wrong with taking O levels. I don't see any problem with it. I didn't turn out so badly did I. Nor did the rest who took it. But parents sure see a problem with it.

Nothing ever really gets me down, other than when I feel that I am not wanted. One of the saddest moments is when someone isn't happy to see you. Body language tells a whole story on it's own. How pathetic is it that someone you barely know can raise a bigger smile. I hate life in university sometimes. None of the lecturers, professors, doctors, tutors, teaching assistants really care if you do well. Their job is to come to lesson, dictate the information word by word. If you are smart enough to question what you're learning, what you're doing then good for you. If you aren't, then try your best to tread water and not drown in the ocean. For the next 4 years. I don't understand how one can improve and learn from mistakes when tests don't even come back, not even results. Are we supposed to just bumble our way around? How am I supposed to know if I'm doing things right or wrong. Throwing people into tests without any practices just doesn't make an

Had my epiphany today: There's so much hatred. So simple. It just dawned on me.

FUCKING HORRIBLE ENGLISH When I was younger, my mind was made up that if my parents divorced, I would follow my mom. Now that I am older, I see so much my dad's been through, and all I want him to know is that no matter what happens I'm here for him. To me, my dad's like God. Nothing can be too difficult for him. Seeing him so affected by everything that's happened (vague but I can't describe anything either because there are so many legal implications) makes me really upset. There's nothing much I can do except be his listening ear now and then, be his errands boy, and support all his decisions. I think it's rather upsetting that my mom is being so unsupportive. I'm really tired going back and forth the hospital. Will things get better from now? ): We get older, we see more of the ugly realities of life. I used to think that this life is mine. I make my own decisions, and I would go to any lengths to get what I want, disregarding what others
