My Friend Jocelyn

That is the problem with parents. They know the children cannot cope but insist on sending them to bilingual schools. Your friend is right not to send her child to Tao Nan because that school has a high level for both languages. If she feels she is disadvantaged, then she had to blame herself for not preparing her child well.

.

she chose not to subject her child to the indecent high pressured environment

 

[TracyTan866]

You never know. She might tell you she is sensitive to wind and needs to cover up.

hahahaha..yes.

but whatever she or any pap people tell me..i dont believe...so no point having a conversation with them.

Trust, once betrayed, is hard to gain back

HC may be slim, but she was never the deminine type. She was always wearing pants when she was working. has anyone seen HC in skirt or dress?

Maybe she's afraid of 走光 ?

Not that any sane man is eager to peek what's beneath.

 

[blackmondy]

there are many slim and fair men. did HC look like one?

HJ looks worse than any slim and fair men out there.

 

[TracyTan866]

Not that any sane man is eager to peek what's beneath.

if that's her concern, I think it is valid.

sane men become insane once peek opportunity presents

hahahaha.....

Pants is one constant all these years. The only change is that with the years, the legs of the pants get broader and broader.

I call that pampering.

 

[TracyTan866]

I call that pampering.

maybe....but I see that as loving care

Depends on who's 走光. If it's HJ, peeking up her skirt is like breaking a mirror: seven years of bad luck.

 

[Fook Seng]

no need to ask LHL..I can answer for him.

It was his mother, KGC, who asked Philip Yeo to matchmake him to HC

They were senior/junior in NJC. Probably knew each other then.

 

[Fook Seng]

many parents dont plan and just let things happen. that's not good

It is not fair to say that parents who keep their children in Singapore don't plan. In fact they do and it is very sensible of them as they plan around known evils rather than unknown evils.

Parents draw out long term plans where they want their children to be, how to give them a good start, what they can do to help them along the way and if they fail with the local system, accumulate the savings to send them for overseas study. But not all have the means to send their children for overseas study.

The irony is that this perception of problem is found mainly among the more well to do, a sort of over-analyzing the situation. The typical heart-landers having no other choice just have to live with it and eventually forced by circumstances managed to find a way. Those children who eventually could not even get into a polytechnic are truly under-achievers and not just victims of stress.

 

[Fook Seng]

Worst part is that she is a jinx and she heads that Tummyache.

Dispite all the mega losses, she is still there.

Anger against her won't be that much if she take responsibility and step down. Can she do that?

You know PAP's definition of meritocracy? If you are a scholar you have merit. You have it. She was a President Scholar. That is why she is put in charge of Temasek. This thing about trusting people that you know is always there.

I believe at one point she wanted to step down and then she changed her mind after suffering further losses. If you look at the results closely, the returns in the last few years have not been good, propped up by the long term average. Sometimes for these things, it is 骑虎难下 (difficult to dismount from a tiger's back).

 

[Fook Seng]

Don't underestimate the child's ability to adapt. If the child is not challenged, I will be very worried.

 

[Fook Seng]

hahahaha..yes.

What is this betrayal you talked about other than the investment of your money? Was there something else?

 

[TracyTan866]

ohh..so maybe LHL was secretly eye-ing HC in JC

 

[TracyTan866]

HC is part of the pap set-up.

the pap has betrayed Singaporeans' trust and has used this trust to invite foreigners into Singapore at the expense of Singaporeans' well being

 

[TracyTan866]

true. but given the child's ability, he will enjoy life more in aus than in SG

good analysis

They might have known each other casually but from what I heard nothing then. Otherwise HC would not be the second wife but the first.
