sounds like me too,
PSLE = 265, O level in
RI = 7A1s, A level in
NJC = 4A, failed to get into Medicine, went to do Electrical Engineering in
NUS, graduated with 2nd upper hons.
Graduated in 2001, just before 9/11. Got HP job, survived through 2003 SARS with no pay increment. Finally got sacked on 2005 due to restructuring. Went to study full time masters in
NUS, found another engineering job 4k. Pay freeze in 2008-9 due to financial crisis. Now pay is only 5k, age 37.
