GOSSIP GIRL!
Yes its into the 12th episode. Its my new trash indulgence. When i just wanna be that gossipy girl(my initial choice for word was a bit too harsh that starts with s and ends with lut) bitching, backstabbing and just being plain evil. I know I can't do that. My social programming just doesn't allow for that. So my release is gossip girl.
I do see the difference in having that charmed life. Sometimes i draw unfair comparisons and parallels to some in my social circle. It is unfair - life isn't ever fair. Those born with a platinum/golden/silver spoon will never understand the life of the lower social class people. Like how a royal will never truly know the plebeians. Yes, they will see their share of problems, worries etc, but I'm sure it pales in comparison to skipping school for fear of getting your head pounded in with a hammer, or avoiding Ang Mo Kio area because the gang members there know you or even going to the police station regularly to bail out a friend.
Went to teach a few kids at Pertapis Children's' Home. Its approved by MCYS ministry of community development youth and sports. If i thought John was havoc, this is HAVOC x4! hahaha I teach 4 primary 5 kids math on Mondays and 2 primary 4 kids on Tuesdays. I met a man who gives tuition full time. He's a specialist in primary 6 preparation for PSLE. He believes the Singapore government's education standard is very high and its still going up. That might not necessarily be good. On the top end of the spectrum of students, this is advantageous. At the opposite end, the students are already struggling with work that they are supposed to know 1 or 2 years ago. How is it possible to teach a boy who still counts with his fingers AP, GP? When adults look at PSLE questions and are stumped, its telling of our education direction. It says clearly that things we learn is MUCH TOO ABSTRACT. An adult who does not know how to solve a PSLE question will only show that what kids are learning at 12 has no application whatsoever to adult life.
Me and Kangwen @ 7 Bodmin. One of the jam sessions.
