from visiting at least 20 schools and with us visiting at least 20 more, it's safe to say one thing

THE SINGAPORE EDUCATION SYSTEM SUCKS BALLS!

The number of anal teachers far outweigh the number of cool ones we've met.
It's a system that snuffs out creativity and 'encourages' you to obey what others tell you is the right thing to do, and if you don't listen, you're fucked up. There's little space for alternatives, and very little tolerance for students to actually stretch themselves creatively. But in every school we've been to, there's mostly a strong underlining vibe of rebellion, probably stemming from disciplinary oppression. The irony is that most of the 'top' schools in Singapore have a slightly more laxed discipline approach, while the 'neighbourhood' schools are usually the stern and obnoxiously anal and self righteous ones. I'm talking about the people in charge of the schools, NOT the students. The students are cool. At least those had the chance to meet.

We are a country educated by many soul-less uninspired individuals.

HAPPY V DAY!

Alamak, VALENTINE'S DAY IT IS!

Commercialism to the max!

And as usual I had no Valentines :) Year in year out I've never celebrated a single Valentines.
When I was in secondary school with the gawky glasses and tucked in uniform, not on the school track n field team, cannot run x country like shit, always reading books, nobody ever asked me to be their Valentine's :)

So now that i'm in this silly thing called a rock band, with the gawky glasses and still cannot run for shit and most definitely not in the track n field team still, always reading books, still not having any Valentines! :)

Anyway here are the lyrics for a Billy Joel song. Yes, Billy Joel, one of the greatest song writers of all time, no thanks to local radio which never plays his songs (except Class 95)

ohh when will you realize, vienna waits for you? :D

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Rock For Good, Catholic High

Rock For Good + Catholic High were a blast.
It's incredible how crazy people are getting at our shows these days.
Brings me back to the days when we only had 10 or so disinterested people in the audience.
Here's a clip from the Catholic High performance I took from stage! Think I'll do this from now on!

Never celebrated Valentine's Day in my life! Totally forgot what date it was too until somebody reminded me. It's the day where people bank on the idea of romance to make profits. Shouldn't we all be celebrating the idea of Valentine's Day everyday? :D
