hi guys, some of you may know how to operate a microwave oven, others ask, while some don't. now im sure most of you guys would fall into categories A and B, but unfortunately, top NUS law student Mr. Hu!? seems to struggle with the simplest of modern culinary equipment.

and here the story goes. he took out the croissant. very agreeable. he placed it into the microwave oven on a plate. brilliant. and he made the bush fires look bad by irradiating the poor pastry with 850W of cancer-causing heat waves for 5 fucking minutes.

Now you'd only need to destroy france by increasing the number of working hours per week. Mr. Hu dropped the neutron bomb. Wicked.


Exhibit A: Ground Zero.

KNNBCCB!!! the black shit is the croissant lah. then the plate dunno why can break inside the oven. wah lau ehh, if my chem never fail is suppose to 2000degC then si limit for ceramics right. this means only that it exceed that temperature lor. lagi hot, i think indian want to walk on the heat also die. eee... confirm worse than the state of the croissant. hahaha!!!

And so the debate rages on... Is National Service a priority for Singaporeans? Or is it just another "policy" that we all have to undergo. And what in the case of talented prodigies like Ike See, who posseses the potential to go far, but because of National Service, must be doomed to mediocrity.

Do not forget, this young boy is only twelve. He is certainly very very smart, probably will go to RI (GEP even), RJC and then proceed on a scholarship overseas to study at a prestigious university before coming back to slog 6 years for a Singaporean organization. (Sounds familiar)? Been there done that.

But wait. He's a violinist. A rare talent for the arts. His hands are naturally a perfect fit for the bow, his fingers lightning fast while playing the violin. These same hands, are going to be calloused from pull ups, grimy from rifle cleaning and dirty with mud from the field when he turns 18.

I've seen many talented musicians at my young age of 22. I dare say, it is not talent that makes the musician, it is passion. I respect the child violinst, who though not note perfect, is able to flourish, to take a bow, and to practise daily under his own duress, and not under the carrot and stick approach many Singaporeans use. A grade 8 certificate is no longer something to be proud about. It is just another... piece of paper in junior's collection. Math Olympiad, Swimming Gold Star award, Yamaha Certificates of Achievement... We as a country are paper collectors, striving harder for that COE, or MBA or even just another degree from NUS/LSE whatever.

Whatever happened to passion? Or is our national identity about kiasuism again?

If Ike is talented, make sure he is talented in his own right, and passionate in his own way. Too many times I see burnout, from striving to getting that next piece of paper that certifies you to do "some crap". if you are serious, If you have talent, if you have passion, well.. Screw MINDEF. And pursue your own dreams.

Because ultimately, what Singapore needs are its people. And our people must be the best. They must score 90 for econs test, score 3.8 GPAs, forget about passion for learning. Forget about Jazz classes. Forget about Math Analysis classes. Just go for Drama 101 (Confirmed A), Math 196 (Another sure A), and when in doubt, and on scholarship, do the course that is the easiest that takes up the least amount of time for the maximum results.

Yes. This is the ugly culture that we Singaporeans are. Are you ashamed yet?

I'm surrounded by Polanyi, Dewey and Hayek. When will I read a YT Lim, or SK Foo? Never.
