  • Kansas doctor refused to quit: 'I know they need me'

    • “To some he was an unflinching hero, to others a remorseless villain. As a late-term abortion doctor, George Tiller knew he had chosen a dangerous career … but he refused to give up what he saw as his life’s mission.”

  • What plagiarism looks like

    • “…plagiarism seems to be governed by a sliding scale, with consequences lessening as the wrongdoer’s status rises”.

  • Jurassic Park Jeep is cool in a park full of dinosaurs

    • How much is it, including the COE? LOL.

  • The Singapore that we aspire to build

    • “Unlike the colour-blind environment in which I grew up, every turn we make nowadays we are reminded of our racial origin. We can’t, for instance, move into any housing estate of our choice due to the racial quota and you inevitably are reminded of your racial origin.”

  • Let's build bridges rather than burn them

    • “The public domain consists of people of diverse faiths and religious affiliations, and even the understated non-religious. However, it involves a lopsided participation and representation of views and discourses from specific circles. I believe it is not merely the alleged presence of a numerical majority, but rather the participation of an educated elite with an opposing moral agenda.”

  • One mosquito bite

    • Mr Miyagi’s account of his son’s brush with dengue fever.

  • Killing That Guy Who Might Deserve It

    • “If a guy tells you there is a 5% chance he might kill you someday in the future, do you have a moral justification to kill him today?”

  • Clothes Don’t Make the Man

    • Sweet.

The rationale for and context of why I post up my grades can be found here and in older posts I’ve linked to (I’ve resurrected them from the old blog).

This is one of the things that has been bugging me since last night. I missed getting a PGDE (Distinction) by 0.03 grade points. It wouldn’t have mattered if not for two things:

  • It feels a bit like dressing up nicely for a night out at the theatre, getting there on time and getting ready to go in for a nice performance, only for you to dip your hand into your pocket and discover, to your horror, that you’ve left the tickets at home i.e. what a waste. (For context: you need to get a Distinction Credit for the Practicum module and a GPA of 4.5 to get the PGDE (Distinction). I got more than necessary for the former but missed out slightly on the latter.)
  • I made two separate choices earlier in the year to do two things, both of which I shall not mention because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. On hindsight, these two choices were directly responsible for the shortfall of 0.03 grade points. It stings to realise this now. Nevertheless, I must be man enough to stand by my choices if I was man enough to make them in the first place with the benefit of knowing full well what might happen if I made those choices.

Anyway, my sincerest thanks go out to my NIE Supervisor and the staff (permanent and trainees) + students of Saint Gabriel’s. The Practicum Distinction is for and because of all of you.
