CSI wannabe

bumped into a couple of secondary 3 students from a SAP school 2 months back. They were here on an immersion program at one of the top high school in the valley. the students would also get to visit several big corporations like Apple and Google.

I guess it is true that the eduacation system back home is improving. apart from building the foundation (in language, math and science), educators now recognize the need for students to know what's happening to the rest of the world. the sky is bigger than what we can see above us.

we were talking about a second chance that society would give to one. Tap said that S'pore still has a long way to go. We still do not see mistake as a chance to learn. instead, it condemns a person - his fate or future is sealed. again, i was told that this is also changing.

We hope so. only with the guts to make mistakes (knowing that you will still be accepted and not condemned) that people will be more creative. life will be more colorful. ok, i'm a practical person. let's just say, one should take calculated risk and not jump ship blindly.

to several of my frens who pride ourselves as unconventional (u know who u are), good luck to your new endeavors. It's the new year, so let the sun shines brightly on the new path that you have chosen. Cheers!!
