Anything outside yourself, this you can see and apply your logic to it. But it’s a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, these things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that’s really chewing on us.

Red, Blue and Gold

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,

Our times are in his hand
Who saith, "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!" 


- Robert Browning, Rabbi Ben Ezra

I think I will always be proud to have come from ACS.


Looking back I cant believe that in P5 I actually entertained thoughts of going to Raffles. Thankfully I succumbed to the ACS indoctrination that Rafflesians were geeky, disgusting and altogether queer creatures. Of course now I know that is not completely true. But the colours Green, Black and White just aren't as regal as Red, Blue and Gold.

Also, it riles me slightly that Justin Bieber shares the same birthday as ACS. Almost as much as him sharing the same first name as me, but not quite...
