Q: Singapore has a ______________ system of government.

a. Parliamentary
b. Presidential
c. Autocratic

This was one of the questions posted to us during one of the sessions during the seminar I'm attending. Try guessing is answer... haha...

Q: Who is the Head of State of Singapore?

a. Prime Minister
b. President
c. Deputy Prime Minister

The answer for this is "none of the above"... haha...

Anyway, the seminar has been incredulously boring. It seems like the people coming down to give the lectures/talks also know we're all not at the seminar voluntarily, and also cannot be too bothered, which makes me wonder why the hell it supposedly costs $2500 per person for the whole 5 days - that's $500 a day! Granted that the buffet spread during the 2 tea breaks and lunch are pretty good, but that still doesn't quite account for the $500 each day some how..... Maybe it's just a clever way of transferring money around the Ministries... Can't they just give me the money and i'll promise to read all the reading materials? :)

In any case, there are still 3 more days of the seminar left. So sad... and it ends at 6pm on the eve of National Day! i'll miss all the National Day celebrations in school!!! ;p
