Hey all. I'm just a normal average Singaporean. Just pretty bored with my life. waiting to get into uni. can't wait. so far i've gotten in NTU business. NUS wants me to go to an aptitude test and interview for architecture though. Honestly, I still don't know what i wanna do. I'm also worried about the tuition fees. Really hoping that i can get the bursary so i don't have to use my dad's money. They're even already struggling now. Even with me working part-time. I don't know what's gonna happen when i start school... I'll probably have to continue working. maybe give tuition or something. A lot of people say that S'pore is a meritocratic society and everyone has an equal chance.
Honestly i feel that it's not that true. Not everyone is able to benefit from this meritocratic system. On my mum's side, i have 13 aunties and uncles. Out of all their children, only one other cousin besides me is able to make it to Uni. Have people ever thought whether everyone can really afford to upgrade their skills or get a degree through private institutions if they are unable to get a place in a local university? Let's take my dad for example... He's a welder with sec 4 education. Has been working the same job for as long as i can remember. Brings home about $1000. It's not that he doesn't want to get another job. He's the sole breadwinner of the family. If he were to take time off to upgrade his skills, not only would he have to pay for the course fees, it would also affect his earnings.
Hence, growing up i dint have many things that my friends had. Dint really realize it till now. Oh well.
How could i when i have a brother in NS still taking $12 a day from my mum who's not working. Sigh. Nothing's very fair i guess.
Oops. Dint mean to veer away so much. It was just supposed to be a short intro entry. haha.
Oh well.
Cheerios.
