Blog Entry by a Normal Secondary School Student in Singapore

Zi Ming said:

My wish for this year is to pass my english paper if not i will not able to graduate to poly or JC. i feel that this year is very stressful as most of the teachers had given mi a lot of homework to do and nd to do a lot of ten years series. Being a student in Singapore is very competitive. My parents always like mi to be top in the school but a lot of student in the school are very “ li hai” and smart so we cant get top. My parents also like to compare mi with the RI students and sae that I am dumb or stupid, but different student hav different capability and talent. So I think that my parent should not compare mi wif them.

Recommended by alvinism: "I was very touched by the honesty of this blog entry. The boy is trying his best to excel in our rigid education system for his parents' sake. Can actually identify with him and feel the pressure that's mounting on him to do well in school. "

Video on : what does Chinese New Year mean to you?

Melvin Ryan Tan said:

It's Chinese New Year again and this year is the year of the pig! So what does Chinese New Year mean to you? Youth.SG wanted to find out so badly that we ambushed ourselves on Orchard Road and asked random strangers about it. We're not satisfied with just interviewing our Chinese friends... We need to know what our friends from the other races feel about the Chinese New Year as well.

Recommended by alvinism: "Something happy for Chinese New Year to liven up the festive mood. Happy Chinese New Year everyone!~ "

Remaining As A Virgin -> A Treasure Or Unwanted Individual?

Steph said:

I was surfing around Yahoo! Answers when I saw this question "Do females find viginity in a man attractive?". Hm...do I know the answer? Nope as first, I am not a female, so I won't know how the female mind works. Second, not all females think the same way. This question was asked by a male.

Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "In today's modern world with influences from the West, it is interesting to know the different stands that each individual has on the issue of chastity. Quite an interesting topic in which the blogger has touched on. He even shares his own views after sharing the views of other people."

The design is kinda' punkish Blogskin-like, la."

Report of Five Foot Broadway

Ken's Reflections said:

Five Foot Broadway is an incubation program for the creation of new Singapore musicals. These are developed to the level of a no-frills public performance. ... The general public’s response was overwhelmingly positive. Not only did we have full houses every night, but we received a heavy demand for tickets, and eventually had a waiting list of 150 members of the public who were unable to get tickets. Theater practitioners came and were enthusiastically impressed. Critical evaluation of the musicals was generally favorable. Two of the musicals were taken up for further development and staging.

A report on Five Foot Broadway, aimed at creating new and original Singapore musicals by matching playwrights and composers.

Money culture spreading to the young

Little Speck said:

To an extent, it has distorted society. People often see money as a quick fix for all problems.

Take the case of nine-year-old Jeremy Tio, who was lost for three nights recently in Fraser's Hill with his three Malaysian cousins.

When he was found, he emotionally hugged his rescuer and said, "I love you."

But he revealed his Singaporean upbringing when he told his Malaysian rescuers, "If I give you money, can you take me home?"

Interesting article about how youths treat money these days.
