Paper Chase Syndrome

Its my off day tomolo and with no plans to meet of my frens, i finally decided to run some personal errands that have been long overdue.

Plans for tml:

1) Collect my NRIC
2) Collect my diploma from SP.

Ok.. The second task is W-A-A-Y overdue. I've gradutated last july and have not collected my cert till now. *shrugs* I guess one of the reasons why i've not collected my dip is actually because i resent the idea of justifying the value of my life with a piece of paper.

Personally, i don't feel that having a piece of paper means anything to me. Its doesn't tell you what kind of person i am. It doesn't tell you my thoughts or my feelings. It doesn't not tell you anything about me.

I hate the whole "Paper Chase" syndrome.

To me, education should be about learning what you are interested in. I want to learn about stuff that i like and not forced to study subjects that i don't want. Sadly, Singapore is a place where certification is very important. People are judged too quickly by their qualifications like where they graduated from or what grades they obtained.
But does it really matter?

Hundreds of years from now, who will remember all this? I want to be about to be remember for what kind of person i am and NOT for my academic results. I'm thankful for being brought up in Singapore and being educated in world-class education system. But i still think that somehow Singapore's education system is flawed and there's still room for more changes. *shrugs*

Anyway, am going to shower now.. My lens are soo dry that they are threatening to pop out anytime!!
