The boys your are talking abt are mainly from ACS I

I always have a good opinion of ACS cos my family all studied there.

The boys are well brought up & are successful in their careers. My brother who is overseas still maintain ties with the alumni. He tell me many of his classmates are now doctors, lawyers, businessmen, high flyers in army etc. They still maintain strong bond & contribute generously to the school. In fact when the billiard rm needs aircon, everyone chips in to help- organise concert, sell food etc.
The mothers are also very helpful in giving advise when u have sch. going kids & the teachers are very friendly & approachable.
My nephews are also going to ACS soon cos the sch. encourages sports & independent learning.

Yes.The old boys network..for e.g, the last film I worked on, we had five or six former ACSians who coincidentally came together..same vision?Perhaps.

God's grace that brought us together I think, for we only knew that we were all ACSians after production. Laughing

So now you say ACS is "better" than neighbourhood schools because you assume that people against ACS are all from neighbourhood schools and have mindsets that are, and I quote from your above post, "not only immature but childish."

So you are telling us that ALL people from neighbourhood schools are immature and childish.

And you talk about logical thinking and somehow think that you are better than the rest. Laughing

KNN.......last time my army camp got lots of ACS fools.........KNN! cannot tahan them u know! speak english, jiak-kantang, everyday talk about pubs and clubs, talk about which foreign school to study after ORD, talk about heavy metal music(they don't talk about english pop or chinese pop, only heavy and satanic/goth that kind of music). phuckers right?

somemore their attitude rather arrogant and proud and very scheming too.
these guys may not have the biggest penises in SG, but they sure are unbeatable when it comes to playing mind games and office politics!

KNN.......make me flare up again......i see one, i kan one! KNN! Evil or Very Mad

LazerLordz SG

To each his own I suppose.Guess you met the lamers then Laughing

And may I know if you slamming another person's musical tastes is something to be proud of too?Is speaking English a crime?

interesting how this thread turns into 8 pages of discussion about gay. I think there are more gays in SJI than ACS.

ACS guys to me are very confident, has this to do with the students rich background or the education i don't know. But when coming face to face with most singaporeans, who are less well off, less fluent in english, many ACS guys appear to be snob, intentionally or not. I can understand the remarks from some forumites here about encounter during NS.

I think this is partly due to their poor command of chinese, I have not come across an ACS guy who are proud of their chinese/mandarin, and they are not fluent in malay either. Are ACS guys all from indian or peranakan background?

ACS guys are generally polite and carry themselves well in country clubs and places for high society people, but when it come to meeting the ah lian and ah beng, many of my ACS friends said they would just walk away after a few words. They said class 95 and 93.3 just don't have much common topics. Why is it so?

In a multiracial society, I really hope that those from the elite schools and the neighbourhood schools can mix well. Used to think that it might have to do with the religious background but i found out that those from St Andrew and Cath High have less problem in this area than the ACS guys.

Any ACS guys here care to comment?

jay_rocks SG

plainly gays. our school won them in a friendly basketball match in 2003 nov time.

vito_corleone SG

i've heard of people buying their way into acs but never of people buying their way into ri..ok maybe except those ministers' sons they'll allow them in some "special" reasons. Laughing

vito_corleone SG

but the plain fact is this: they are better than neighbourhood schools. Laughing

sgFish SG

of course...i chose ac over ri even though i could get into both Mr. Green

Regarding the common topic issue, I think we have to be fair.You can't force an Ah Beng to talk about Literary Studies or how the impact of losing one town to Zarqawi's men might have on the US Army in Iraq.Common stuff comes with greater understanding at first, and once you get to know people better, the common ground is enlarged.

I certainly feel unhappy when we are tarred with one huge brush that says intolerant, snobbish and haughty.Confidence is not snobbery, literacy is not arrogance and ideas of school loyalty should not be construed as being elitist.

I'm Chinese Peranakan, and yes when I was younger, I did have this notion that other people are not worth the trouble of understanding.But after entering NS and realising that diversity is one of God's greatest gifts to man, I'm much more engaging to anyone, even those who are of different backgrounds from me.

Well, maybe it helps that I do speak fairly fluent Hokkien and yes, I'm proud of my culture, which is that of Singapore and Brunei.I see myself as a Straits/SEA Chinese, born in the tropics, bred on bak chor mee and roti prata.I may hate durians but I certainly love the smell of laksa and seafood.I believe that you need to speak the language of others to be a true cosmopolitan and not insist on some pre-conceived notion of linguistic superiority.Better to order char kway teow in Hokkien and see a faint smile than stumble your way around in broken English trying to get your point across, by which time, the food is cold and the queue wants your pound of flesh Laughing .

Contrary to popular belief, we are not bootlickers of Western culture, save for the ignorant young who will mature and realise that their education has made them confident enough to face the world and be equally adaptable to anywhere they live, work or play.

for the gay part, i cant agree more. we scouts are having camp at thai and when we’re coming back, we have to stay a night at a malaysia sch. our resting area is the hall which is much smaller than the avg sch hall here. as we got around 200-300 ppls, we hardly have enough space to slp. and guess what? those acs gays dunno scare of cold or slping on the hall ground that they (ard 10 persons) all lay out their slping bags and take up a hell lots of space. ask them give some space to the other schs and they just heck care, thinking no one can touch them. they cant seems to slp without the slping bags and as if they will freeze to death or what. screw them man, in the end, my group of 15 have to slp outside the hall.
