5 October 2013:
I am a happy chap for I found yet another wonderful blog to read.
This blog is interesting because its author breaks one stereotype: those who smoke / drink are ah bengs and are good-for-nothing. Indeed he does all that (and maybe more), yet, he is not a goner.He likes books. If anything, that is a smack on the face of those who label such people as uneducated and hopeless etc. It's true the author took a longer route of Normal (Academic) for his secondary education. But, so what?
Judging by his thoughts (at least those from his blog), they are no less inferior than an Express student. In fact, his style of writing is marvellous. The words flow from sentence to sentence and I actually feel sad when a post ends.
The only peeve I have about the writing is that it's very American, with uniquely American phrases and American spellings of words. Nevertheless, the excellent writing compensates for the above. I look forward to his writings and wish for more inspirations.
TTFN.
