NS or School? 01/29/2010
Yes, "O" level results has just released a few days ago. I bet many would be caught in a dilemma previously over "Poly or JC". I'm experiencing a dilemma now too. It's between NS or School. School's stressful, not because of the people. But I seriously feel that I need a break. I couldn't concentrate during lessons at all, I'm losing sleep and weight. BTW, I weigh 36kg now, and for that, yes I know, many girls will be throwing rotten eggs at me when they see this. However... as a responsible Singaporean, and one who loves his country, he has to serve NS at this age. But given my current condition, I think it's nearly impossible for me to do that (I think the rifle weighs heavier than me). Thus, I had to make a choice whether to continue school or to serve NS now. Hais. And... the deferment letter states "defer for a semester". Life's tough. 2012, please come quick. The "advancement" of technology 01/28/2010
Sometimes I really wonder, if the advancement of technology has brought about convenience to our lives, or has it shaped us to be more "technically-stupid". Recently, I've just submitted an online assignment on SafeAssign (a tool for teachers to track on potential students' plagiarism acts). This is how the software works. It will cross-refer to the online essays available in SafeAssign, afterwhich, moving on to the World Wide Web database. It's quite usual to see some similar cache words appearing. However, it really tickles me when the software generates the following statistic report. Here goes. The only 2% matching words. Well, you can't expect me to use a different name each time I write a news article, right? Ha! |
