today i met this really interesting taxi driver and i can say i am really fortunate to have met him.unlike the usual taxi drivers that i meet who usually talk in chinese or hokkien or a mixture of both, this taxi driver was actually fluent no make that very fluent in English. i got into the car....
me: uncle ( my address) please
him: Just finished exams?\
me: yep
him: u are an Mg girl that's why u went to ACS?
me: yep.
him: actually i am asking because i am an ACS boy.
anyway the conversation carries on and he talks about politics blah blah blah.

he said " Education is a means to an end not an end to a mean". he said this when i told him that it was a waste for him to quit his professional job to be a cabby.To be honest i don't exactly know what that means. that sounds terribly philosophical.i think it means that education is a way to end not a final destination.

he talked about singapore focusing on taking other languages but we shld focus on learning how to speak good english one where we are able to tackle any material thrown in our faces instead of mugging for silly english exams( SATS). he was really scary that for once i cldn't tell him where my house was. i kept fumbling over my words. he was really patriotic to the ACS family and all of a sudden i felt proud that i was in a methodist culture for 12 years of my life. i got to thinking of acs boys being patriotic. i wonder, is it a trend. my uncles were from ACS and boy are they patriotic. in MG no one mouthed the words let alone sing the school anthem. but, here i can actually see people mouthing the words( myself included).haha.

anyway, today i am at the half way point of my exams! yippie. bio was today after that me, van, dee and zhilli went to HV to eat. really thank goodness that they are around to put up with my whining and insecurities.
