And every other masters and phd invites. Not to forget, how Singapore didn't recognize his great online degree. He infact had already set his mind to go on pursing his useless masters and phd and i really wonder why he keeps on acting humble seeking advice. What a ********. People, please stop wasting time on him.
On a side note, i do realise the reason why he pursue an online degree in the first place, looking at his attitude, poor research and understanding skills, and also ignorant attitude, obviously he must have heard how others succeed this way and thought maybe he can be like them too. He seriously need to wake up his idea.

how can someone read my posts and think i am boasting about my online degree when even my title is asking about ideas to fix this mistake?
are you the same person making multiple posts?

At first I also thought he just arrogant, but after talking to him so many years I realise it is not arrogant, he actually has some logic to believe he is very good. It is a vicious cycle - because he is no good, he end up mixing with the lower end of the society both in work and social life. Because of his limited exposure, he actually looks better than people around him. This cause him not to listen and willing to learn which in turn causes him to seek to hang around people who are weaker than him. Then cycle repeat.
I suspect this is what happen to TS. I mean when you are teaching English in a developing country that doesn't speak English, you end up feeling superior to all those around you. He probably thinks he can just port that superiority back in Singapore corporate space as long as he gets a cert and a job. So far we know his English is somewhere below average to average by Singapore standards, but he probably thinks he is the best, which is true if you compare to students in a private school in mostly Malay and Cantonese speaking Malaysia. |
well unlike your friend, i am neither arrogant nor deluded nor think it is bad luck. i am aware i made childish mistakes and i am trying my best to fix them and move in the right direction. it is not bad luck but bad choices for me.
at this stage of my life, being from a poor family, i cannot afford to make anymore mistakes.
as for english, i got a star for
psle, a for o levels, topped my english class in jc, and scored 162 for verbal on the gre (around top 10% globally). so please, ur barking up the wrong tree.
i have always been weaker in certain subjects like chinese (c and ds).
we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
