realise its been more than a month since i went Bintan but until now i haven upload e Bintan photos..
be it here or FB..
guess cos its too mani + laziness..
think forget it..
100++ photos also dunno upload until when..
e Taiwan photos alr veri good experience liao
anyway 3 news caught my eye today..
1st its the supposedly prototype iphone 4GS..
frankly speaking, the exterior looks so dull..
dun realli understand why it cause such a big stir..
perhaps im realli not a fan of Apple =P
next its e transport fare..
seriously dunno e reporter sugarcoating or e PTC misleading..
cos upon further reading, e fare actualli increase!! *the*
& still dare to say 2/3 pay lesser fare..
also in e first place got 2/3 of e passengers make a transfer meh?
perhaps they dun dare to say fare is increasing as e economy is jus recovering? think 2002...
finally its with regard to the proposed downward adjustment of e weightage of MT in PSLE..
is it jus me or is MOE giving in to some kind of pressure?
on e one hand, saying chinese is impt to connect with china, hence we hav e urgent nid to groom bi-cultural ppl to act as e connecting bridge..
then now this?
PSLE leh, where all students built their foundation..
if even in PSLE e weightage is reduced, wat will e parents n student perceive?
me n some frens were already mentioning that somehow e youngsters (born in 1990s) these days already dun hav a good grasp of Chinese liao n its also not as if their Eng is zai..
surely e MOE shd hav better foresight than me n din wan S'pore to realli become a Singlish society?
then why still even float out this thought?!
yes, one may argue tt times hav changed and now e majority of students speak English at home..
BUT how mani actualli speak ENGLISH and not SINGLISH at home?!?
i alr lost count on e num of occasions tt i cling at e deplorable std of english spoken by parents to their kids..
i cant help but wonder why dun they speak Mandarin instead.
surely e child can benefit more?
& if tt is called eng then i seriously thinking of migrating to other places if i hav kids later on in life liao..
cant realli imagine e youngsters now who become grown up later on to teach my future kids (if any) on language
even at forum, some students also mention tt MOE shdn't jus decrease e std jus as to cater to e few who experience difficulty..
cos making something easier wont make a person who dislike it to like it more..
& furthermore, e rest of e students lost out from having e chance to learning more
realli hope MOE will bother to listen from e horses mouth before any decision..
