no...i am not talking abt the Jap movie Battle Royale.

rather, i am talking abt the ones in my life. every exam, in my personal view, is always a Battle Royale for every candiate. the paper is the arena and the grade is the final fate.

students in singapore are destined to walk the path of endless royale for at least 10yrs of studies. the glory of victors is not the distinction, rather it is the ability to remain a victor. the shame of defeat has to be carried by the rest. how would any child have such clear and vivid idealogy of victory and defeat? it is none other than the environment and experiences that are the best teachers in life.

government, public, friends and even families. everyone is taught to fend for thyself. for there can be no permanent friends only permanent interests. nobody owes anyone a living. cruel? cold? the animal kingdom works around these principles as laws of nature sheds no pity or praise for any specific species.

my Battle Royale is coming soon. specifically 3 weeks from now, excluding this week. this will be my last 4th BR. after which, i will be thrown into the real world to survive the ultimate test, life itself.

i haven chosen my path after this much of Battle Royale. i have chosen to uphold honour, brotherhood, righteousness, truth and courage. i have chosen not to dwell in the outcome of the royale, but dwell in its process. where in the process, acknowledge my own personal growth and self-awareness.

onward!!
