A New Singapore
Well, thanks to NUSSU, the S/U option thing has been made much fairer. We seniors even had a bonus of revocing previous SU/ed modules. However sadly, I did not fare as I hoped for my Information Systems. Eventhough I did not complete the final paper, I did pretty well for my projects and CAs, and thought that a B+ and above was feasible. But guess not, it turned out I only got a B. Good news is that my choice to SU that module (considering I made that choice in sem 2 week 6), was an excellent one, saving me my CAP and my dean's list cert. Bad news is that I could not pull my CAP up, and could not save myself one SU. It did bring back scary memories though, when in semester I actually got 2 B-(s) for modules I thought I could score. Oh well.
Was reading the news just now, and I think I'm not the only one to realise, but has anyone noticed how much different Singapore is going to be in just 3 years time?
Firstly, the much talked about integrated resorts, not one, but two. Marina Bay is going to be a damn happening place very soon, and Sentosa is finally going to become an island Singapore can be really proud of.
Secondly, F1 racing is coming, and its even going to be a street course, and a night racing one too. Very exciting.
Thirdly, news reports just came in that Orchard Road will be undergoing a S$40 million uplift, and its going to look very different, with new themes and concepts, wider walkways, new buildings and more!
Lastly, also a big one, Singapore is actually going to bid for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. The big news is that sports facilities, especially those in the heartlands, are going to go through major uplifts. Very exciting for both the competition, and also residents who can get to enjoy these revamped sports facilities.
If I am not wrong, there a few more major changes which either I can't think of now, or am unaware of. To think of it, it is great news for myself and my peers, and in that 2-3 years time, we will be graduating, and Singapore's economy looks to soar with these new initiatives. Things are looking very bright and promising for Singapore. Even NUS is 'upgrading' with its new Warren University Town, and the government is even working with NUS to use this new town as accomodation for the sportsmen and women if we win the youth olympic bid.
However the reserved side of me somehow tells me that things are changing at too fast a pace, and its also a little scary how Singapore will be so different is just a short span of 2-3 years.
