Yesterday, miss choo showed us a really creative and fabulous video clip about Singapore. And it was really hilarious yet enriching for me. Well people might think it is really stupid and lame or just simply find it funny and thats it. However, i do look at it as a reallly special and exotic icon of us, Singapore. Infused with humour and our typical singapore singlish, it does portray another beautiful side of our singapore's history and somehow, our interesting happenings and issues. IN which country would the citizens protest obediently indoors? IN which country, do we see LRT? IN which country, do we see people trying to smuggle bubblegums back to singapore haha!

I happened to chance upon this really exasperating comment that left me in ineffable state of shock. The first line of this song sang by hossan leong goes like this " Sang Nila Utama, saw a lion Alamak.." so Sang nila Utama was the man who found out little island and named it Singapura, where SINGAPORE is originated from that malay name. And this person who think he/she is super cool and hip to not know who Sang Nila Utama as a Singaporean said "who is Sang NIla Utama?" and " im a chinese and a singaporean, but i dont know who Sang Nila Utama is haha!" I felt so ashamed and despondent as a Singaporean when i saw that particular comment. I never understand how can any citizen of Singapore can be so proud to not knwo about his/her own country's history. Even my brother who is only a primary 3 student knows who Sang Nila Utama is. I may be making a big fuss here but Singaporeans are rapidly losing their own chinese roots and i seriously would not want to witness any phenomenon of losing out knowledge about our heritage and history. This leads me to the issue of Singapore's education system. Im a total aggressor towards the education im pathetically and helplessly under now. First was the removal of Em1 stream, and the policy of letting every one have a chance to study HCL. Second was also the removal of Chinese subject for University admission. Now, the government just removed the special stream from secondary education, and giving everyone a chance to take up HCL. So, where do SAP schools stand now? Might as well, just remove this whole SAP school system thing. im so pissed with the damn education system ): I have the urge to just carry my stuff and my family and leave Singapore right this moment. I feel so..damn hopeless. We cant master both chinese and english well. Now, our chinese have lost its "footage" and english may seem to be climbing up, but our English is still not up to standard with our singlish. And i seriously can't tolerate chinese who can't speak chinese and thinks that English is their mother tongue.

If i have the money and scholarship (Which i will work hard to attain), i will step out of this place with my family and migrate to UK.
