It could be me, but society could be just one big filter to the rest of the world in general.

People who go to ITE graduate and then work their lives off in whatever job will pay them.
People who go to Poly graduate and then work their lives off in whatever job will pay them, just that they can say they have a diploma while they go about doing it.
People who go to JC. Those who succeed get themselves into a university, after which they work their butts off with a degree to their name. Those who don't simple take one of the other routes mentioned above.

No matter which path we take in Singapore, the end result still ends up largely the same, the only difference being the "air-con" bit and the "salary" bit.

This does, however, make the fair proportion of Singapore happy, since they are told what to do, when to do it, as opposed to being confused most of the time over how to live their lives. Naturally, the 4 sub + X S papers students are told to go out there and get a scholarship so they can bring glory to their school and eventually their country, while the 3 subbers are told not to fail so they can do something with their lives and so they don't end up embarassing anyone.

Indeed, our lives are becoming almost as predictable as an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

How to carry out a conversation in a large group of people: (or, what ticks me off sometimes)

1) When you refer to someone by name, make sure the majority of people know him. If they don't, you give people the impression that they're supposed to identify with this phantom friend you have, which leaves them confused. And people don't like being confused.
2) When you make a joke you think is funny but nobody laughs, act like it was supposed to be lame anyway.
3) To break the group up, start carrying out private conversation. Everyone should follow suit.

Obviously not the seminar you were expecting, but if you know me well enough, you'd know I'm not exactly a public speaking maestro.

And so the cycle continues.

(5 minutes after made this post)

Christian Friend( I seem to have many of those) : eh you wanna go planetshakers concert?
Me : Why?
CF : Because it's gonne be really good!
Me : Ok, I'll think about it.

(2 minutes later, while randomly surfing around)

Me : The planetshakers concert is called ultraviolet? *randomly decimates surrounding objects, then smses friend to inform non-attendance*

For the uninitiated, violet is my tyrant of an econs teacher, with all of us hapless students at the mercy of her mood swings.
