Well, what is education mentality when I & other EM3 students study Science & have tests & exams at school level but not given PSLE exam at national level? MOE SHORTCHANGE US!!! If government is doing this to us at primary school, why can't undergraduate have that education mentality?
Carry on have this mentality, and this will make you a better man. If that is what you want to believe in, go ahead. I really don't think what I'm going to say or anymore will make you change what you want to stubbornly believe in. As far as I'm concern, I don't feel entirely bitter about the country I'm living in. I'm a very realistic person too, but while realistic, I'm hopeful. To date, this hopefulness of mine bring me no bitter in what I'm doing. While not entirely happy, I'm glad in what I'm doing. I feel okay at what I have accomplished and I'm respected in what I'm doing.
Since he trust me so it is not “越帮越忙” & I am not that weak.
That I don't know. For the benefit of doubt, perhaps you are right on this.
It does not care if you are a Hons graduate from NUS or I am a graduate with year of experiences cause end of day whether you can get a job or even a graduate position is another question. I ever recruit a NUS graduate with 2 years of working experiences in that same contract job but Hiring Manager only offer her $2.2K for the same contract position (Dip level). And yes, she is a PRC. So is the big deal for being a graduate like me, you or even her? It is more like what use can this 屎 paper help me then 读什么屎书的!
So it all make sense. The different between your thoughts and mine is I don't take any regard at the certificate at all. True enough the society we are living in depends on this piece of paper. Whether you like it or not, that's how it is going to work.
However for me personally, my certificate is not just a piece of paper. It is evidence; It is testament to what I have accomplished. This certificate tells me that I am worthy of it because of the knowledge that I have acquired. While every graduates hold the very same certificate like I do when they leave the institute, my certificate is heavy because I have acquired more knowledge than some that I'm aware of. I know this much is good enough, I don't need others to tell me how much my certificate weigh. When my employer see my certificate, it does not tell my employer how much I am worth. It only says I have graduated. It is the interview, the way I bring forth myself, the display of my confidence, the way I answer questions that is going tell my employer what I am capable of.
If after all these years of education, if all you learnt about from a piece of paper is it is everything, I feel you did not get the proper education that you are entitled to. When someone tell me he is graduated from blah blah blah, I take it with a pinch of salt. I make use of time to gauge and weigh.
That certificate can't get you anything, it is the knowledge and skill set from within you that is ultimately going to soar you or break you.
学术界的耻辱? Am I? If you happen to be one of the students/trainees I teach/train, do you belong to 学术界的耻辱 too?
Don't worry, I am confident enough to tell you, I'm not one of those trainees you have mentioned. I pride myself with knowledge that some are lack of.
What 社会有贡献 you want me to give? Apart from economic contribution, I also contribute to national defend until I am recognize & awarded Formation nsman of the year award. You got serve NS or not? Have you make a significant impact to be recognize for your contribution to Singapore such as national defend like me?
Contribution to the Nation comes to numerous form. If you have not realise it, then let me quote you a few. Contribution by bring pride to your family and your kids. Educate them by being a role model yourself. What you would have done is give a new lease of life and hope to this country. Contribute in monetary form thru country taxes, donations and even your purchasing power. There are a lot of other forms, even keeping the country clean and promoting your own country, having pride in your country is a form of contribution. It doesn't necessarily must be money that counts.
对父母有交代，和你下一代有正道? I remember government ask us to sent our parent to JB Nursing home because it is cheaper there & I hear even can used CPF to pay for it. Is this 对父母有交代 and my 下一代有正道?
Yah government government government. Wake up from your utterly unnecessary government bitterness. You think but putting "government" at every statement you make is going to explain anything. Piety towards your own parent is your own doing. Government tell you go and die, are you doing to go and die ? Why you care what the government tell you, don't you god darn have a mine of your own. Everything government say... Really tired of your whining. Take care of your parents because you love them, not take care because you need to. Go figure out where your silly reasoning are.
I learnt that I need to be filial to my parents and will take care of them till they pass on, not because government need me to do, or because relatives see that I need to be. They love you when you are young, they nurture you when you need them, it is only rightful you do that WITHOUT OTHERS TELLING YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
As a matter of fact, I learnt that I need to be as such because my parents are also acting as such to their own parents, my grandparents. This much I can tell you that how important as a role model parents need to be to their children. If you still don't get what I'm driving at, then don't regret when your children are not to your expectation.
Like I have already said. Do as you deem fit. You can say all you want. You can convince yourself that you are doing the right. Go do it.
If all you want is argue what government has made you become, then why is it not happening to me? We are under the same government, in fact based on your nick number of 83, assuming you are born in 1983, you are even younger than me. I don't see how we are different in terms of era, hence what you have experienced is not so much different from what I did. So why am I standing on the other side of the fence, while you are making so many bitter reasons to justify what you are doing is right?
It only explain this, I don't think I am any better than you are, nor did I received any special treatment from the government. The only difference is our perspectives. That is why we took different routes and end up different lifes. You have made your choices, I have made mine. Today this is where I am standing and u r standing at where you are.
You keep on complaining about the government short-changed you, so why didn't I feel the government short changed me? Maybe the government short changed both of us, yet I look at the positive side and make my situation better, while you choose the negative one and ruin your own chance.
Either way what is more important is what you are going to do, not what has been done. You can still choose, be what you are going to be and live with the consequences. Not need to say more,

Actually I did mis-read when reading TS first post, thinking TS is from NUS. After all TS is just asking from a NUS student, not necessarily TS must be from NUS. I reply to this thread after I read the same request in another forum found at http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/nus-305/looking-someone-do-my-assignment-4117182.html#post74271607
