Was at perk point trying desperately to study when there suddenly came this PRC who started talking very loudly on her mobile.
I was abit peeved initially as expectly, her conversation was distracting me alot.
Faraday's law states that... 四婶你还好吗? Change in magnetic flux occurs...爷爷怎么样了? Lenz's law means... 我也不想这样啊...The direction of the potential difference will be in such a way.... 我都已经三十三岁了... Wtf...? *Weird noises coming from the lady*
And I looked up just in time to catch her breaking down in tears.
Nabeh I think the whole place everyone kena stunned lah.
I shamelessly went on to eavesdrop on the entire conversation(not like I had much of a choice anyway) and it turns out that her parents and in-laws actually wanted her to stay in China to be a good wife and stuff like that, but she has her dreams and aspirations and wanted to come to NUS study so that she could get a better job and provide her family with a better living...
Whoa, imagine having that kind of burden on your back, man. I mean, it's really like crossing-the-river-and-sinking-the-boat kinda thing. Being a student at some foreign place at the not-very-young age of thirty three must be a very very scary experience..
And if she doesn't get super grades and ultimately a good job, how the fug is she going to face her family back home?
It's no wonder that compared to foreigners, locals generally do worse in school. They specialise at spoiling the markets and landing poor blokes like me on the wrong side of the bell curve, but if they don't do that, they're doomed!
On the other hand, I just any how any how study (eh, I DO try to study hard at times) and I know I'm going to get at least a decent job.
Now, I'm not trying to be a spoilt brat here; my point is that, we native Singaporeans are really much better off compared to our China counterparts.
Sometimes I think they really damn ke lian.
