Sports school in Singapore


My coach was talking about the new sports school that opens next year. "Should the sports school be limited to Express students?". In my opinon, it's should not only limit to express students. You see, not everyone is born to be excelling well both in sports and academically. I must agree that in Singapore we tend to pay too much attention and often stress too much on students' academic abilities and the fact that without that it would not represent anything. So what if you are going to perform well in sports, just because you can't memorise history in school, can't apply formulas for maths and so on, you are being eliminated. I think it's really unfair to say that you want a student to do well in both factors. Normal stream students can still perform well in their stream, being in a slower pace, but that doesn't mean they do not do well academically too? So what are they trying to imply? This narrow-minded view of Singapore should change. Ok, going back to the point when they decided on building the Sports school which is to train teenagers to become potential runners, players etc? Therefore, we should exclude the point of their academic abilities as to who's to enter the Sports school. Well i just feel that you don't need brains to start running, but stamina. There's so much more in life than just books, exams etc. We can't have the best of everything, but we can make the best out of something..

I'm quite sick now, and my common tests is just next week. Arghh.. to add on to that, i'm not study for any of my papers yet. I'm so dead now. Yap, the As results had been release, congrats to all my friends who did extremely well! Alright, do anyone knows when's the registration for GCE Examinations (private candidates) ? i think i better go off to study for my paper tomorrow. Good luck to those who are having exams next week..

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear
and curse
When you're chewing on
life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

...always look on the bright side
of life...
(Whistle)

Always look on the light side
of life...

(Whistle)

I mean - what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
- you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing.


c'mon lets stop sighing and whistle ~
