The GP fagut

Hello everyone, I am a GP (General Paper) fagut!!

Here is my schedule for a typical day of mine. Everytime I wake up, I heard straight (sic) to the door to pick up my copy of Straits Times, where I start my reading diet for the day. As I go to school minding my own business, I make it a point to mind other's businesses as well by buying a copy of Business Times on the way there. It helps to boost the business of the vendor at times, so I am applying what I've read. Then as I left the MRT today, I picked up my copy of Today.

Economics is the first lesson - so it doesn't do too bad to bring in a copy of The Economist. Lagman says Econs is about conning others, so I shall con others and leave them in a mist, making them wonder if they've really been conned. After which will come recess, so I go to the canteen to read my Reader's Digest. It helps to digest my food, for the new information in my mind freshens the blood in my system.

As I go back for more science lessons with my American teachers, I have no choice but to start reading the Scientific American, another very useful magazine if you want to score in your science. Then if I have some extra time, I shall go to the library to read Time magazine. I like doing this sort of things during my free time so as to increase my general knowledge.

Then if I'm free at night after finishing all my tutorials at light speed, I will go onto the web to read Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus to improve my vocabulary. After all, GP is an important segment of JC life so all of you should really do that too! Catching up with news of the week with Newsweek is also equally important, for we should know what is going on in the world. Finally, with such a heavy reading diet, it's best we retain our roots and values and know what we stand for. So to ensure we maintain our Asian identity, we could end off the week by reading Asiaweek!

Ah, such is the life of a GP fagut.
