Yeah! Congratulations to all those who have survived the 2-3 weeks of "intensive brain torturing" session of paperwork and memorisation. Say goodbye to your sleepless nights of worrying, last minute panic and religious chanting of the formulae at every few minutes.
The HOLIDAYS are here! YES! So what you guys are planning for this coming holidays? Anyone planning to go overseas? I thought of going to Indonesia in December but at the moment, I still cannot find any buddy to go along with. As you all know that I love taking nice photos, so I thought I can make this trip into a photo trip.
Anyway....
I was chatting with my friend over MSN and he was telling me on how we should encourage you guys to read other stuff besides Readers' Digest. I do agree with him to a certain extent. I understand his point of view. He said we should encourage you guys to read widely and not only be limited to current affairs. I agree with him on that point. However, as a student (don't laugh la. I'm not that OLD yet), my teachers used to make us read Readers' Digest too. Looking back, I think I have a decent knowledge about the world because of their constant nagging on reading RD.
When I was in JC, although my tutors did not preach about subscribing to Times magazine, I took the initiative to subscribe it. I believe that we need to train our minds on our understanding about the world. Reading current affairs stuff really challenge our minds and strengthen our power of reasoning.
HOWEVER, it does not mean I disallow reading magazines. We do have our favourite celebrities and stars right? I understand the need to find out or read about them. Nevertheless, we need to prioritise which one is more useful to us. The tabloids or the current affairs? If you ask me, I think we should read the current affairs before the tabloids because during exams, the thing that going to help you a lot in writing that argumentative (general knowledge based) essay is the current affairs, not your tabloids.
Since it is holidays, you can read whatever that you wish to.
