Singapore Math

Was listening to many hours of class 95 today..

and I wondered how true this was..
apparantly , US is impressed with Singapore's level of Maths that they are starting to adopt our methods??

I googled it to find out a thesis done that mentioned "Singapore students ranked 1st in the world in Maths and that Singapore has a world class mathematics system ..."
From : http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SUNA_enSG281SG281&q=singapore+maths+%2d+used+in+US

so it is true!

wah! .. and considering im above the national average( for math i.e.).. heh.. im one of those maths genius'

tick tock..

What change would there be
If one could foretell and see
time usually benefits..
often, it also forfeits
Seasons change..
Plans are arranged
A life is born
and yet another's gone..

If this value is with time,
Why does one just wait in the line
Questions create diffuculty
for thinking assertively
in built character
or just change by forces of nature,
stand afar to watch seasons change
or experiencing the warmth and pains,

time benefits
so let it be
life's too short
can't afford..

TOKYO vs SINGAPORE

Finally Im back again.. the last of all the travelling for 2008.
I'm done ! I'm so glad to be SIngaporean and I appreciate home lots more..
Looking back, these 12 months I've been to 3 major places I've been wanting to visit since years ago. Maldives, UK,Paris and Japan.
Experienced enough of the different cultures,weather,food, people... I'm so glad to call Singapore.. HOME.

This japan trip is quite somethin.. a totally wild asian culture. service is no 1 in the world i dare say but language .. they are simply unbelievable.. some cant even understand basic english like , food, drink, tea.. and no wonder the suicide rate's so high in Tokyo. The crowd, noise.. can drive even 'cool-headed' people like me to find a hole to burry myself..
On a few ocassions, I felt so claustrophobic I wanted to just find a place where there were no buildings, no noise.. and im glad there was that trip to Hakone nearer Mt Fuji, where I had the mountains and was 2000 feet above sea level.

I appreciate home even more than before, everything's so central , I dont have to travel an hour underground just within the heart of town, I prefer my skin a little moist than absolutely dry, I get to go home to a noise-less environment, I get to walk just 10 min to a quiet reservoir like Mac Ritchie, I get to eat vegetables in most meals, I don't have to pay $2.50 for 20 mins parkin, I dont have to face grey buildings every day. I still can get a yummy plate of char kway teow for $3. I don't have to be drinking green tea every meal.. and when i really want to shop , Orchard road is superb!!!

hahaha.. im so glad to be home..
Singapore - best holiday place!
HA!
