@nguyenhdi 2) I studied Ulysses at uni and our tutor didn’t think it necessary beyond knowing the rough story. The list of potential preparatory reading would be endless. I usually read a chapter, then read the New Bloomsday explanation of it, then read the chapter again, then moved on...
@Flirtcheap @Samada100 @MsMelChen I’m referring to the extra English, ‘mother tongue,’ maths and science tuition classes deemed necessary by most parents for primary and secondary school children.
@Flirtcheap @Samada100 @MsMelChen I live in Singapore. Not sure what you’re disputing - that families don’t spend a lot of money on extra tuition for their children?
@ryan_trollip@Lee_Cobaj I think so. Although most I knew, who used to drink around here, went home during covid and were too settled to come back 2+ years later.
@Lee_Cobaj Same - I live on Hennessy Road, parallel to this very spot. So you do know it’s (relatively) livelier further ahead? The Devils Advocate, White Stag etc have never been busy at 1am.
@tonyvisualizes @AndyBxxx She said it on the 19th June, referring to an entirely peaceful, legal march. They broke into the Legislative Building two weeks later. This is why nobody takes Andy / Nury / the Global Times etc seriously (but Pelosi is still terrible, for numerous other reasons)
