Suddenly, I had the urge to share something longer than 140 characters which is much more than what twitter supports.

For any of you reading this and do not know me, here’s a brief introduction. I’m a full-time undergrad pursuing my Bachelor of Science at University of London and London School of Economics (LSE) (International Programme) in Singapore. Not going to mention where I’m doing this program as they’re doing well (not that UOL/LSE isn’t good).

What’s bad is the culture here. I’m unsure if this only happen in Singapore. No one talks in class. I’m not referring to chatting in class, but the two way communication between the lecturer and student. Over here, the lecturer will speak for almost 3 hours (duration of the lecture (and tutorial), minus 10 minutes break time). Yes, most lecturer will talk throughout tutorials (included in the 3 hours lecture).

I do see that some lecturers are trying to change the system or change the way they do tutorials by trying to make students at least talk alittle, but this isn’t really helping. Students here still keep everything to themselves.

Perhaps, I started feeling this in the recent years with the world spinning; changing the world to become more social. Just look at websites, even they’re evolving to become web 2.0 (though just a model) – allowing more communication (not just 2-way).

Don’t ask me why I’m diving into this programme without doing much research and end up learning that this programme just isn’t to my liking. I guess at first I thought it was fine, but through time, I changed and realised I’m not suited for this. I’m doing my final year, and of course, I’ve to keep going!

But you will question what’s good about the programme? I feel the British programme trains me for 1-shot-1-one kill, like a sniper. If you fail the paper, you’ll have to re-do it the following year. Just like going for an interview, you only get a chance to impress. How can you not prepare for it?

*UPDATE* (11am 8 September 2010) Mr Tan got to read this blog article and  commented. It’s really the power of Google.

THIS IS FOR SERIOUS MATTERS. NOT A JOKE OR A GAME.

Declare: I’m not a loanshark, neither does the person owe anyone money. I’m finding him for a good cause (I have documents to verify).

Mr TAN KIAN CHOON (Son of late Mr TAN TOH SENG) happens to be a friend of my dad’s friend and he’s lost his contact for at least 30 over years.

If you happen to know Mr Tan Kian Choon or late Mr Tan Toh Seng, please contact me by any means. I’m sure there’s monetary reward if you’re willing to accept.

I hope after reading this, you will share this via facebook/twitter/email. 1 more person sharing this means there’s alittle more chance. Let’s use the power of social media to find this person.

The first ever Youth Olympic Games will be hosted by Singapore from 14 – 26 August 2010. Youths aged 14-18 will come from all over the world to compete in this competition.

The statistics after the jump!

I’m overseas, thus a day late preparing this article.

The purpose of this article isn’t to define what World Environment Day is but to share with you several ways of playing your part. Actually, World Environment Day is similar to Earth Day.

On a daily basis as an individual, there are different ways we can help protect the environment too:

• Eat less sharks’ fin. Instead, have some corn soup or mushroom soup. Chinese restaurants do other soups well too!
• Burn less. Everything. Is there really a need to burn everything?
• Take public transport. Do your math, it can be cheaper to take public transport.
• Take less plastic bags. Bags may state 100% biodegradable, but where will they end up once they’re degraded? Bring your own bags out. I personally have a huge bag to contain everything I buy.
• Plant more trees or flowers at home. Don’t you want fresh oxygen for your kids in the day?
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The 3Rs.

and so on… I can’t list all the ways here. You could share some?

You see, if we don’t protect our environment, one day we will lose everything.
