I just had to say

Ok. So I came across this on the Straits Times (usually I ignore the BS stuff from there), and I think some kids are overachievers and others, like me, are underachievers. I mean I wanted to do a BA/MA thing, but then I thought why go through all the stress. Enjoy myself in the US and make contacts. Oh well, some folks are meant to be Singaporean Scholar-Mandarins and others, like me, are meant to be Global Nomads.
