ok.... i apologise like tris said... prob misread the part on self improvement and maintaining the score... but then if you read your newest reply hor... somethings just dun make sense you noe... you noe how long it takes me to read n trying to figure out what you were trying to say? let's just say that i make reading axelrod and keohane's articles feels like reading enid blyton's... but anywae... tat sentence i said, upon re-reading it, has alot of fallacies, but guess it is not meant to stand by itself and should be read with a larger context. 3.8 is NOT a bad score by any degree... i dunnoe how tat work in NUS, but any grade above 3.5 is FANTASTIC. and onli singaporeans will lament on the fact that they are not longer a 4.0... so, if you had studied hard, and got 3.8 instead of 4.0, you SHOULD NOT feel bad or THINK it is a bad score. coz it is not. so the problem here is, you say "I haven't satisfied myself whatsoever by scoring that result, even though I put in my effort, doesn't that kind of translate into I feel not good?" so da pt is, THAT result is good, there is no reason for feeling sad. on one hand you are trying to say that 3.8 is not miserable but on the other hand, you refer to it as a prove/result of you dun having a mind to study, and on the THIRD HAND/limb/wateva... you wish to maintain it still. ok... so maybe for a low-achiever like me this make no sense to me... a lameass RI houseTshirt once read "A Hero's Vision is a coward's dream" so is this the case here? you are not satisfied with 3.8, you must go for tat 4.0... that 0.2 is so important to you since it matters to the society, it matters to you? i REALLY REALLY hope that the quest for 4.0 is coz of self improvement and not for others. but... you need to do a better job in convincing me that it is a case of the former... social expectation. sorry girly, but you oledi outta it liao. want to meet social expectation? doing ARTS is hohoho... SUCH A FABULOUS WAY to try to meet social expectations baby... go do biotech, or engineering, or law or wateva... but arts? seriously... so you think you can meet social expectation by getting a 4.0 in a faculty that is oledi not within social expectation and full of false stereotype forced onto it? seeking redemption? or is it more ok to do a 3.8 in engineering and that if you set your sight on 3.8 in arts then you are just sinking in deeper and zhi gan duo luo?? can't you see how silly this whole situation is? not trying to be some crusader out to break all social norms and silly rules, but well... no way that is gonna get me down oso... so wat do you mean by a mediocre job? or rather, wat do you want to be a non-mediocre job? mediocre or not medicore is all depending on you... or is it by society?? when you see some dude you ALWAYS fight with in a soccer match becoming a prez scholar, does tat make you feel lesser and that he/she doing polisci in Yale or Harvard makes your degree less shiny n prestigous? oh yeah... ask any uncle aunty in singapore and they will tell you tat's the case. coz you are always in that tiny island seeing the same old ppl along orchard and everywhere you go wat. it is like seeing aunties comparing their kids about their latest test score. why? coz that is their tiny little world, the onli person they can compare to. do you see where i am going with this arguement? girly... singapore is NOT the world not THE society. dun say coz you are singaporean and this is your country blah blah blah... open your eyes man. China, india, peru and mexico dun exist onli in your idiotbox hor... see... the bulk of this arguement i am doing here is on the blardy social expectation part. coz i think tat is the part tat is dragging you down. so damn those quitter/stayer arguement, this is the age of globalisation and the world outside is being challenged by new level of social standards and you are still worrying about satisfying the singaporean social standard? i would seriously worry if i do have any practical skill or attitude when i go into the job mkt man... or if i have any practical experience or the flexibility to catch on the latest trend in this world (you noe how stubborn and deadbrain i am). if i have a 3.8, i have more important things to worry about and lose my sleep over. hmm.... again, this reply sure like swiss cheese. so waiting for you to strike back lor... haha... dun disappoint me!!! *EVIL*
