dear wei kiat,
i apologise if i have distressed you with my tendency to rant.
while i will not dispute some of the points you make in response to
what i have written, i would like to bring to your attention the
fact that the post in question was never meant to be a cogent
response to the specific points raised in derek wee's article. it
is, quite obviously, a rant in the heat of the moment. in addition,
i don't believe that my blog has the wide readership of derek
wee's, or even your own, and my intention was more to vent my own
frustrations than public denouncement.
i'd also like to clarify my use of the word "elite". while i
understand how misinterpretation may have arose, i intended to use
it in irony, as a label that people assume i enjoy, and not one
that i take particular pleasure in.
finally, i admit that i was harsher than i should have been,
although the the crux of my belief in self-improvement and
self-determination has not changed. once again, i apologise if my
words have unintentionally offended you - i was under the rather
naive impression that nobody reads my blog Smile
