before anything else, may I just put a link to The Online Citizen here. I was directed to TOC a month or two ago, and it was a cross between a refreshing breeze and a slap in the face. all the dirt in Singapore society that, I admit, I have been completely and blissfully unaware of cloistered in my comfortable middle-class ignorance.
it's because of TOC that I feel a need to be more socially aware awakening. a need to be more... engaged with the issues. grace has a link to an article written by gayle goh re: integration of immigrants, but the truly stimulating thing is the discussion (and in some parts, slicing to pieces) of gayle's article.
I want to write about these issues but it's difficult to form an opinion when they're so big they're all over my head. I'm unqualified. it'd feel pretentious to even try to express an opinion.
sat for my SAT I yesterday at anderson jc. woke up at 5 bloody 40 a.m. to avoid taking a cab there (I'm very, very proud of myself for that haha). the test was alright, just waiting to see what my score's like when it comes on the 29th. and now it's moving on to study for my subject tests! I never thought I'd touch jc math topics again, but my gc with fresh batteries beckons.
on a completely unrelated note, 11 more working days to ord. a whole bunch of weird feelings coming in now that The End is drawing near.
