This feels so weird. Can you believe I've actually been spending the past four days completely at home?! I haven't pulled something like this off since...since...I don't know when. Definitely not since a year ago. This is so surreal.
I can't wait for school to re-open.
I can't even wait for Saturday.
Well, maybe I can. I just definitely can't wait to get out. This is so not me.
They're leaving for Penang tomorrow. And they're leaving for Selayang on Monday.
If my mom hadn't grounded me, I'd be on two back-to-back camps.
*sighs. One week off JYM is already mind-numbing. One week off everyone else is suicide.
At least...Sammie's got her call-answerable phone back! Well, it isn't exactly mine, which is still in the hand phone repairs shop. But at least I even have a call-answerable phone.
Not like any one's calling me. With the exception of an additional stalker, a.k.a. customer no. 3.
I feel so jobless. The past few days have been full of cleaning, cooking, drying laundry, folding laundry, ironing laundry and doing whatever else it is I'm slaving away at for my mom. And trying unsuccessfully to compose a song that's worth my time playing. And questioning the Education Ministry.
Like Aaron LXT says, it's like I'm living life during the emergency coup after May 13.
That's how sad it is.
Oh wells, tomorrow will be here soon enough.
The move by the Education Ministry to limit the number of As attainable to 10As for an average SPM-student is definitely not big enough a stride to raise the standards of academic acheivement in today's secondary schools. And will it be a step in the right direction to raise the quality of our As, as opposed to quantity (which they have, yays for them, come to realize will get us nowhere)? It disappoints me to read that Marina Mahatir, after consulting top foreign universities, finds that, with what appears to be academic excellence in our country, students must still take remedial classes overseas to catch up with their peers.
If you didn't understand that, never mind. Here's something else:
Raja Petra Kamaruddin's Most Sincere Apology to the Nation *click*
My flicker of faith stands nowhere compared to this man's firm stand in his belief and everything he speaks for. But maybe someday it will be.
