Reflection
Look at me,
You may think you see
Who I really am,
But you'll never know me.
Everyday,
it's as if I play
A part.
Now I see,
If I wear a mask,
I can fool the world,
but I cannot fool my heart.
Who is that girl I see?
Staring straight,
Back at me.
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now,
In a world
Where I have to hide in my heart,
and what I believe in.
But somehow,
I will show the world what's inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am.
Who is that girl I see,
staring straight
back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
someone else
for all time.
When will my reflection show,
who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free
to fly
That burns with a need to know
the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Must there be
a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
someone else
for all time.
When will my reflection show
who I am inside?

was readin vicky's blog. then agree totally w wat she sae lahz. sighz. dun noe how long ago. when students join a cca (or eca). it's due to pure interest. n ability/determination to xcel at it. or juz wan 2 try it. now. it's so different. sighz. wat happen 2 singapore's education system?
we r a meritocracy society. it supposed 2 make us more efficient. more talent orientated. but u noe wat. it make us more ambitious. more selfish. there r alot of xamples currently. pple join a particular cca nt becoz of e interest. but e poss of securin a leadership post. i mean wat is singaporean youths cumin 2? we r taught 2 be results-orientated. results r wat matter most. cca points r wat matters. testimonials r wat matter. gd grades r wat matters. gd university educations r wat matters. gd jobs r wat matters. r u sure tt's wat matters? apparently alot of us thot so.
wat happen 2 e basic princples of education. to nurture young individuals. to arouse interest in various subjs. to allow students to xplore their own talents n develop them to their fullest. wat happen 2 all tt? y shld a cert matters more than e person? y?
y shld ur success measure by e job u hold. e things u hav. e education u receive. n nt e type of life u live. whether u r happy. whether u felt tt ur life is meaningful. whether u hav achieve wat u r here. in tis world for. sighz
