It's an experience to study in Singapore though not necessarily a good one.

I remember screwing up the english paper......composition. Just didn't feel like writing. I kept on using 'often' in very sentence. The examiner would have thought that I'm retarded or something.

Getting an ASEAN scholarship and finishing the A-level doesn't guarantee anything. If you so happened to be at the top of the graduating cohort, then you would have a chance in securing a scholarship to go overseas. Once you're there, it would probably occur to you that being in an ultra competitve, ultra kiasu JC does not necessarily give you a better student experience. Case in point, education in negara mat salleh focus on self-development with some emphasis on knowledge acquisition, very different from our asian understanding of education.

It's just A-level, not the holy grail of education. There are lots of people who did other things, went to good universities and and got themslves to places which they wanted to go.

I don't know what I'm saying.......
