yeah....Things will only get better

I shall not touch on the details. It has generated sufficient news. Zao Bao, Wan Bao, Strait's Times, New Paper, Today and what else... not forgetting the various online forums. Whatever it is, one can argue until the cows come home but the fact remains Wei Lian got it and he is indeed visually handicapped.

Enough debates of symphaty votes. It is indeed an undeinable fact that some voters would have adopted such a mentality and hence casted votes for him.

However, I doubt many will disagree with me that they have been moved by the sheer grit and determination of this young chap. He believed in his dreams and fought hard for he believed in himself. And he believed in the confidence that his family , his friends and his supporters had in him. Well, he didn't dissapoint and emerged the victor. A victor not only in terms of standings but also in terms of the human spirit. He dared to dream ...he overcame the odds... because he believed.

Junyang did not garner sufficient votes. But he is defintely not a loser. Likewise, he believed in himself and he dared to dream. The courage and composure that he exhibited is defintely worthy of our admiration.

Hopefully this will not be a setback for him and he will come out a stronger person.This is life.. full of ups and downs. Having the ability to dream is defintely something we posses; however how many of us really dare to dream of that something that we so badly desire? Will it remain just a dream or will be be materialised?

I may not agree with the views of the Victorian boys. In fact a co-ed school is actually a more holistic approach to education. This world isn't single-sex. You can learn that v=u +at from any institution, single sex or otherwise. However you can't learn how to interact with someone of the opposite gender purely from the books. A school environment whereby students spend the majority of their time as compared to other settings is, in my opinion, the best way to educate.

Traditions are, on one hand good to withold, however, if necessary, they have to be adjusted to suit the present day conditions. Women used to bind their feets and men wore pigtails.

Traditions.

But I credit them for their strong belief . They did not sit down and grumble, something that Singaporeans are best at.

The list goes on and on. However , if because one's belief that others have to suffer, well that's extreme views. I'm sorry and I can't condone. Don't try and tell me that bombing oneself (and in doing so kill many more )is a way of expressing one's believes. It doesn't work that way.

Anyway, we're lucky to be in a position to be able to dream and to fight for our dreams. It's just that many are not willing to do so , for a wide specturm of reasons.

I'm fortunate to be in a position that I can afford to do so. And I believe I will .

What about you? ( Chey.. so cliché hor)
