(no subject)
Had one of those exam dreams again where I had to go for my home econs ‘A’ Level paper which I had quite naturally never studied for.
Eventually, the ever enterprising me, had to bribe an Ah-Beng Zi Cha Hawker to give me last minute remedial on how to cook Sichuan Hotpot in Botanical Gardens. That oddly was where the examination was to be conducted in.
Woke up wondering to myself why am I constantly within the examination state of mind even after I have left school (as a student) and left school (as a teacher) for years.
Looking at jobs in general with harsh KPIs and performance ratings within short time-frames or the general looks-obsessed and comparative culture, I wonder if we have left school-exams only to stumble into life-exams?
I wonder how we can find our own Ah-Beng Zi Cha Hawkers or amazing tutors to help us ace it? And if we pass with flying colours, then what? More exams?
