Raffles Institution Boys - Pros and Cons?
-
Auspicium Melioris Aevi
When Stamford Raffles held the torch
That cast Promethean Flame
We faced the challenge of the day
To give our school a name
The eagle eye and gryphon strength
They led us to the fore
To reign supreme in ev'ry sphere
The sons of Singapore
Come heed the call Rafflesians all
And let our hearts be stirring
We'll do our best whate'er test
And keep our colours flying
Let comradeship and fervent hope
With one voice make us pray
Auspicium Melioris Aevi
With God to guide the way

to start it all, i was an ex-rafflesian who graduated from ri but didnt choose to enter rj. so what are ur views about ri guys? this is our magnificent school song.
-
Should I or should I not?
-
so where did u go after u left ri?
me, not smart enought to go ri ... -
You didnt have a choice. You couldnt even enter RJ.
-
Don't tell me you went to ac hor.
After the infamous AC thread, you now want to start a thread on RI to divert some heat. -
My dad said if I went RI, he'll be having only bread for lunch everyday. I didn't want him to have just bread for lunch everyday.
-

Don't look at me.Originally posted by BillyBong:Oh no...not another 9862908645 thread...
I didn't start this thread. -
I dun mean to offend anybody but...
I worked for a few bosses who are ex-RI guys.
They are text-book-smart, rather than street smart.
I was always made to do reports after reports, bar charts, pie charts, whatever charts you can think of
but never any concrete work like doing sales or change anything in the organisation.
I used to go out with another ex RI guy who is now doing his own business.
He said that RI only trains the students to be good employees but never teach them to be entrepreneur. -
Yeah, Honeybunz out to stir Shit.Originally posted by Honeybunz:I dun mean to offend anybody but...

You go girl! -
Agreed. They are just a bunch of machines and replicators. My freinds father, who is a senior lawyer, once commented that RI guys who was sent for attachment at his office cant even operate a photocopier machine.Originally posted by Honeybunz:I dun mean to offend anybody but...

But he noted that they were rather hardworking... -
Ok, now we all wait patiently for someone to rebutt.
-
But I noticed that among my peers, the term "gay" isnt really applied to RI guys...more towards ACS.
-
Something tells me this thread won't be as colourful as the AC thread.
Really. -
RI where got gay one? That term is specially reserved for ACS one. RI boys are so tame and meek. If I growled, they'll all run away.
-
ex RI guys are not very good businessman.
Because they are too intelligent already.
I have another two guy friends from RI who started their own business together after a few years of working. The business didn't do well. My friend (the first businessman ex RI guy that I mentioned earlier) commented that it's because they (including himself) are too self-confident. And that's their downfall. I guess it's all because they have been doing too well in school and in their studies.
They have not tasted failure in their whole life. So when they do business or investment, they overlooked the possible risk. This is my own opinion lah. -
The photocopying machine does make a bit of a sound when it is photocopying.
-
yes YES! it's starting! ....Originally posted by ditzy:Ok, now we all wait patiently for someone to rebutt.
Bring it on! -
