Back Again // And School's Starting Again!

Time to dust off the old blog and do some updating. ;p

Finally after close to 4 months of slacking it's time to prepare for a new school year and bid for modules. Oh and did I mention I absolutely detest bidding?
I basically forgot that the bidding round ends at 1700H rather than 2100H, so when I got back, I did not get any of the modules I wanted. To make matters worst, there were no more free slots at all. Now I've gotta wait till next Monday to find out if they will have more slots to bid for. Sigh....

Australia is such a beautiful country, with the wide open spaces and excellant weather, not to mention the huge variety of food available. Staying with my brother for 18 days, we basically spent most of the time eating if we weren't shopping or sleeping. ;p Who knows, maybe I'll spend my post-grad studies in Melbourne.

I've realised how much time I spend surfing the net and all the various blogs and internet forums. Ever since the GE, the internet represents a wonderful medium where people can meet and share ideas easily. My faith in the ST's credibilty has pretty much evaporated since the GE. And everyday the home news remains biased and tainted by Pro-PAP propaganda.

In the run-up to National Day, or rather "PAP Day", I can frankly say that the only things keeping me on this chunk of Earth are my family and relatives. Despite all the hoo-ha about "Singapore's struggle for Independence", the sad truth remains that we've basically traded one set of imperial rulers (the British) for another set of rulers, one that hides under a facade of democracy while practising a form of autocratic rule only seen in countries like Myanmar and North Korea. For what price are Singaporeans willing to countinue to pay in the name of economic progress. In the end, who actually benefits from the blood and sweat of the common man.
