Tanggal Seluar dan Baju.....
As I wrote down my final answer for my Add Maths paper, it hit me like a hijacked plane hitting WTC: I'm never going to do this stuff again. Its over, well almost, I have economics in 1 week time but consider it doned. But besides that, my school days are practically over. I cant believe it.
All the papers have been good so far. I must say Im more confident of my Modern Maths paper than I am on my English. I wrote my "most enjoyable weekend experience". A little bullshit here and there an voila. But after proofreading it, it doesnt sound that enjoyable. MM on the other hand, I was confident of my answers, I even to get to recheck it couple of times.
How about you guys?
I've made up my mind that Im going to enter form6 in VI, dont laugh. The best part of it is that I'll be getting a car.
Nobody has a freakin camera in VI, so this one my friend took and I made sure he send it to me. This pic is my buddies and I as we slowly prepare our coffins:

2nd Day Report(SPM)
Today we continued on with our battle with accounts by taking our second paper.PRINSIP PERAKAUNAN 1.(>.<).Though it looks les scary and sounds less scary than its big brother,its still open to any screw ups but we all fought tremendously.Hell,even harris went out early but that is not saying much i guess.This paper signifies the end of our accounts.(^-^).Unfortunately it means the start of our other papers.BM(Huh!),English(Eh!?),History(Arghhhhh)and Maths(OMG).(*-*)'.All of that coming up next week.This will be the shortest report so far cause we only did one paper.So peace out,kids and stay tuned for the future reports and my future ass-kicking posts.

MEMORY (to be continued)
King Farouq
Pejam celik,pejam celik.It's already our last day of school.Pejam celik,pejam celik.We even have a new member.Pejam celik,pejam celik.Mataku dah sakit dah.
To express about my school life in my teenage years is nothing short of being a grade A series like the OC and One Tree Hill.There is drama,a lot of comedy,an equal amount of suspence along with it,a smidge of romance(just a smidge and nothing more)and a great deal of horror that comes along with it.
2002
The start of my school years in SMK Sri Permata.I came fresh from my Sekolah Rendah days.I was naive and a bit of simpleton that time,I still am but much better (^-^).
2003
Form 2 well,was definetely getting better i guess
2004
Moving on to 2004,all of us entered PMR year.Most people we met that year were scared shitless of that paper and dare not do anything for that year.Well,we did the opposite.We did everything that year.Staying up till dawn?check.Overnight in cc?check.Took some provocative photos?check but we lost the camera.Went to cheer 04?check i guess.That year was definetly the most fun i had because when we go out.It would always be the four of us(me,naif,harmeet and ck).We bonded over the year and nothing could break or replace that bond we shared.In school,its a whole other story.We had a weird guy as our teacher,Azhar.No one can forget that fucker till this day.He barely taught us and we barely listen to him.So we had a love-hate relationship with the fella.This is also the year i met two interesting dudes.The first one syark and then later aizuddin.Syark would always do some crazy and weird shit in class just to make himself look cute(syark ni nak cute jer lah).Later during the year,our new friend from aizuddin came all the way from london.He was a big guy so most of us got scared of him and to me he looked like kane a bit which freaked me out.But once we started to know him,habislah everyday "a-huh-huh-huh"(his trademark laugh).This guy's behaviour and jokes made us laugh every single time we talked.Oh yeah,for PMR,i went through it with 2As,4Bs,and 2Cs.Just in case you wanted to know.
2005
Form 4,well a different mood was set in place.Sadness.Why?Because most of us had moved out.Naif went to VI,Suresh went to DJ,James went to Kedah(even though it was later,it was still sad),Syark went to Sentul and the list could go on.Fortunately,Ck and marc were still around on and i got to knew them even better and we became better friends.This was also the year i got to know hazman,chan and harris better and that rocked.This was also the start of the sleepovers at my house which made us have something to do over the weekend.

Heyloo Nik Harris here posting for the first time
well skool is finally over.i never thought i Nik Harris would actually feel sad.the five years i spent in Sri Permata was like The OC full of drama,suspense,comedy,horror,action,love and happiness.my life has changed for better and for worse ever since i first stepped into this skool.skool gave me a lot of new expieriences i made new friends,learned new(and kinda naughty)things and the most important thing is that i learned how to be a better and useful person of society.
2005 and 2006 were the most memorable years of my lives.i met the most beautiful and nicest people in the world.they helped me a lot and thought me that there was more to life than just getting chicks and getting high.i sat next to what was a person i never knew at all i now know better than myself(al-amin).my teacher was mr.salleh(one stoned dude)he was cool and "taught" us a lot.i hanged a lot with farouq,chee keat,al-amin and hazmaern.they we the dudes who made me laugh like i never mad.hazman with his terbantut and his dad kongkonging him like mad farouq with his philosophies on life and chee keat with his.............."chee keat-ness".
this year a new student from a new skool came into our class.his name was Jason Poo Yik Tung(one of the cooles but blurest people i have ever known).he added a little extra funny into what was already a class that was like a comedy club.me and Jason always got into each others nerves but we always respected each other(well kinda.......).
well the year 2006 is coming to an end.so many things i left unsaid.so many memories that are embeded into my heart.so many feelings i have in my heart.so many friends i am gonna leave behind as i step into the world of adulthood.i wanna thank all of my friends for making my secondary years the best and memorable years of my life.
that is all i can write beacause of the short time i have
i will right somemore when i have the time

Nik Harris Bin Nik Ahmad Huzlan
James here,
My goodness..school ended for you guys...darn lucky..my school is all the way to spm...darn boring..but my friends and i ain't gonna go to school anyway..hehe..i already ponteng...65 over days...hahah..thanks to jamming...smoking and other stuff...which i ain't proud of..in my whole secondary life i have been to 3 schools...1. SMK SMART Putrajaya 1..2 ASS EMM KAY..SEA PORT...AND NOW Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid...Putrajaya school was the lamest...of school i have been to..never had any good memories..there.. i mean..in my class i was the only indian there and the other malays..ganged on me and bullied me and teased me...with all kinds of low de grading names...which i can't really forget about..i have done my part in forgiving them but the problem is..it is not so easy to forget..the names they use to verbally abuse me...simply uncivillized.....not only that i was bashed up by a goup of fanatics..who were so into islam..that when they knew i was christian they just beat the shit out of me...bullshit crap..holy muslims...i was short at the time and only form 1....a fews week later i saw this group of them hanging with a group of girls....we all know wat happeneed next..la..
After a year my parents..decided that i was receiving enough abuse at school..so they decided to move me back to pj...then obviously the only school i could go to turned out to be the best school i had ever been to..in terms of repairing the scars of my life.
Before moving to this school i hated the Malay...i thought that they are so..low..without dignity..disgusting..dishonest..fat and ugly..with icky guiy slime coming out of their noses...but then i met naif..farouq..ck..jee ho..harmeet..nandha..ari tarzan.. arumugam...sam... wun.. kennth...mardiana..shahira..carmen..sandiya..arvin..marc..the blady fool..kanthan LINGGI...sara..vaishi...venuga..syazwan...omar..anuar...adib..daniel...aizuddin..mishan..chan..suresh...yeo bee harn..lee shuy yen..pei yin..anginj lee...shi meng..nelza...tanker...rozman..aiman..al amin..hazman..harris..nuwan..jerrie..thiva kannan..selvin..sim..all those wonderfull ppl..la..that..really made a difference in my life....including wonderfull teacher..pn kong..amy..zahir..and so on..
Naif and farouq..taught me that..not all malays are evil beings...only those screwed up bargers who..don really know the meaning of life...the latter were real... I MEAN REAL FRIENDS THAT I EVER HAD..NEVER IN THE WORLD WOULD I TRADE THEM..FOR ANYTHING ELSE...not even a 1969 gibsons les paul guitar you know what i mean..those bunch of assholes..really made me feel accepted..like i had found the part of me that i was missing and it was 'REAL GOOD FRIENDS'...AND everytime we went out sure there'd be teasin..but it was all for the joke..and nothing else matters...but still when i was in that school..i felt lost...my grades were low..and i still had something missing in me...i didn't feel whole..like my whole being was under a thick veil..and i needed to break free...
I was never good in anything...i was the knida of guy who would always say yes for things i didn't even want to do..i would never let my way stand...but only cared for others..i would never say no..directly..or even tried to hurt ppl's feelings ..i was scared to lose friends..because i didn't want to lose that part of myself again..i was always trying to be funny..or be nice..just to let others be pleased with me...and never was me feeling good about myself...
When i say i was never good in anything...i seriouly meant it.....harmeet and ck were good at chicks..naif he is a smart ass but doesn't know it..farouq...he was everyones teddy bear...even if i wa just good in football,...harmeet and ck were better..studies..yeah..i was only good in that and that was like just average..and marc..real good in business..everyone had something to define themselves but not me..linggi..now he is a real comedian..his jokes are funny funny..i mean betting@linggi.com...lolzz..jerrie..well he had his moves and stuff going on for him..but i had nothing..nothing to really define me except me extreme height..which is not even extreme because the average height in America and Europe is 6ft..so anyway i was stil missing something..
Then i moved to Sultan Abdul Hamid College..this is where i found myself..i found something that i had a passion for..and it was and is MUSIC....i mean drums just took me 4 days to learn..bass that was heaps easy..simply bass..is like so damn easy..guitar..hmm..that is easy too but not that easy if you really focus on it...i too thought that guitar is so damn easy and you can't be recogniseD..but after going to music school...i realised that learning the guitar is hard..its not as easy as you think..to learn guitar you GOTTA HAVE IT IN YOU.. its that defining X FACTOR that you must be born with...the road in becoming a performer is not that easy...i mean i have caused more trouble to my parents...in this 1 year than in comparisson to other years..i finally hd done something i wanted to do and not what my friends or parents want me to be..
I HAVE somany good friends in this school also...in the likes of mahendran...faris..kavin..maarvin..cheryl...betsy..jun..amirah...azmirul..pawaih..syed alip..ariff yasser, yasser...izwan...zul...faez..farriss part 2..shanmugam...akaed carbon 14....wan ikan..
je shern...gary..loots... kang..tan..ashwin..vincent..and so many more..most of them either play guitar bass drums or strong vocals...hehe...anyway back to me..
I for the first time got screwed by the school..for missing so many days....then my father screwed me and my mum screwed me...for the first time i'm doing my theng...you know what i mean..its like i'm whole again..i have found the path that i want to follow..and be agood example to ppl and not project the image of a wasted over dosed rocker...rock in Malaysia is dead beause nobody really sits down and think about good songs to write...all they do is just mix the proggression here and there..and you have a good song..well making music is not straight forward..if you have genuine passion for you want to do..then the music wiill be awesome...example metallica..their music is original because..they really sit down and play all day..just to find that perfect solo or riff...not like greenday or..other such bands..simple plan..now thats a rock joke right there...playing with chords..hmm..lousy music man...another good pioneer of good rock music is incubus...now i don really like incubus..but...anyway..what they are doing is original..another good modern new age metal band is static x...
So if you ask me what i miss during school...its a short simple answer..I MISSED BEING ME...
whatelse that comes along the way is that i miss my real good friends who understands my feelings..and real good teachers..who were passionate and dedicated in their teachings...i also missed the good times...that we had shared..and the sad times...now
After SPM letS make more good memories..HEHEHEHEHEHE....SO SEE YOU GUYS AFTER SPM...
-PEACE-
My goodness..school ended for you guys...darn lucky..my school is all the way to spm...darn boring..but my friends and i ain't gonna go to school anyway..hehe..i already ponteng...65 over days...hahah..thanks to jamming...smoking and other stuff...which i ain't proud of..in my whole secondary life i have been to 3 schools...1.

Before moving to this school i hated the Malay...i thought that they are so..low..without dignity..disgusting..dishonest..fat and ugly..with icky guiy slime coming out of their noses...but then i met naif..farouq..ck..jee ho..harmeet..nandha..ari tarzan.. arumugam...sam... wun.. kennth...mardiana..shahira..carmen..sandiya..arvin..marc..the blady fool..kanthan LINGGI...sara..vaishi...venuga..syazwan...omar..anuar...adib..daniel...aizuddin..mishan..chan..suresh...yeo bee harn..lee shuy yen..pei yin..anginj lee...shi meng..nelza...tanker...rozman..aiman..al amin..hazman..harris..nuwan..jerrie..thiva kannan..selvin..sim..all those wonderfull ppl..la..that..really made a difference in my life....including wonderfull teacher..pn kong..amy..zahir..and so on..
Naif and farouq..taught me that..not all malays are evil beings...only those screwed up bargers who..don really know the meaning of life...the latter were real... I MEAN REAL FRIENDS THAT I EVER HAD..NEVER IN THE WORLD WOULD I TRADE THEM..FOR ANYTHING ELSE...not even a 1969 gibsons les paul guitar you know what i mean..those bunch of assholes..really made me feel accepted..like i had found the part of me that i was missing and it was 'REAL GOOD FRIENDS'...AND everytime we went out sure there'd be teasin..but it was all for the joke..and nothing else matters...but still when i was in that school..i felt lost...my grades were low..and i still had something missing in me...i didn't feel whole..like my whole being was under a thick veil..and i needed to break free...
I was never good in anything...i was the knida of guy who would always say yes for things i didn't even want to do..i would never let my way stand...but only cared for others..i would never say no..directly..or even tried to hurt ppl's feelings ..i was scared to lose friends..because i didn't want to lose that part of myself again..i was always trying to be funny..or be nice..just to let others be pleased with me...and never was me feeling good about myself...
When i say i was never good in anything...i seriouly meant it.....harmeet and ck were good at chicks..naif he is a smart ass but doesn't know it..farouq...he was everyones teddy bear...even if i wa just good in football,...harmeet and ck were better..studies..yeah..i was only good in that and that was like just average..and marc..real good in business..everyone had something to define themselves but not me..linggi..now he is a real comedian..his jokes are funny funny..i mean betting@linggi.com...lolzz..jerrie..well he had his moves and stuff going on for him..but i had nothing..nothing to really define me except me extreme height..which is not even extreme because the average height in America and Europe is 6ft..so anyway i was stil missing something..
Then i moved to Sultan Abdul Hamid College..this is where i found myself..i found something that i had a passion for..and it was and is MUSIC....i mean drums just took me 4 days to learn..bass that was heaps easy..simply bass..is like so damn easy..guitar..hmm..that is easy too but not that easy if you really focus on it...i too thought that guitar is so damn easy and you can't be recogniseD..but after going to music school...i realised that learning the guitar is hard..its not as easy as you think..to learn guitar you GOTTA HAVE IT IN YOU.. its that defining X FACTOR that you must be born with...the road in becoming a performer is not that easy...i mean i have caused more trouble to my parents...in this 1 year than in comparisson to other years..i finally hd done something i wanted to do and not what my friends or parents want me to be..
I HAVE somany good friends in this school also...in the likes of mahendran...faris..kavin..maarvin..cheryl...betsy..jun..amirah...azmirul..pawaih..syed alip..ariff yasser, yasser...izwan...zul...faez..farriss part 2..shanmugam...akaed carbon 14....wan ikan..
je shern...gary..loots... kang..tan..ashwin..vincent..and so many more..most of them either play guitar bass drums or strong vocals...hehe...anyway back to me..
I for the first time got screwed by the school..for missing so many days....then my father screwed me and my mum screwed me...for the first time i'm doing my theng...you know what i mean..its like i'm whole again..i have found the path that i want to follow..and be agood example to ppl and not project the image of a wasted over dosed rocker...rock in Malaysia is dead beause nobody really sits down and think about good songs to write...all they do is just mix the proggression here and there..and you have a good song..well making music is not straight forward..if you have genuine passion for you want to do..then the music wiill be awesome...example metallica..their music is original because..they really sit down and play all day..just to find that perfect solo or riff...not like greenday or..other such bands..simple plan..now thats a rock joke right there...playing with chords..hmm..lousy music man...another good pioneer of good rock music is incubus...now i don really like incubus..but...anyway..what they are doing is original..another good modern new age metal band is static x...
So if you ask me what i miss during school...its a short simple answer..I MISSED BEING ME...
whatelse that comes along the way is that i miss my real good friends who understands my feelings..and real good teachers..who were passionate and dedicated in their teachings...i also missed the good times...that we had shared..and the sad times...now
After SPM letS make more good memories..HEHEHEHEHEHE....SO SEE YOU GUYS AFTER SPM...
-PEACE-
School days....
By Naif
Haha, thats a good story ck, yeah I remember that. Come to think of it, I wonder why I never got caught covering u guys....
My school days will always be something I treasure be it in Seaport or VI.
As for my time in Seaport, the highlight was definitely making friends, meeting "interesting" teachers and basicaly learning more about myself. Being Ketua Kelas wasnt always easy for me you know. The teachers keep finding somebody to put the blame on, so its always me. But at the same time, its a huge lesson in character building. Interesting stories? hmmm, well there is one:
I remember all of us didnt finish Razak's seni work, so all of us lepak in front of the scout den lol. I mean we were just talking and sitting down like nobodys business.
-Theres also this time, when school ended, Mardiana and I plan to walk back home together, but when I met her in front of the school CK and the gang was ready to tease me, making stupid jokes, and wisteling when we started to walk. Omg, this is so embarassing to tell.
PMR? haha, PMR is a big joke, I remember studying very little, and a week before the exams like ck said, we were still lepaking at pyramid.....Sleepovers was held at my house and at night we lepak at mamak. Usualy its Ck, me, farouq and harmeet. We talk about everything.. remember we ordered like belambak giler air kosong? lol
All in all, Seaport thought me a lot of things. But mostly the friendships I developed is simply unforgetable. Truth be told i love Seaport more than I love VI.
When it comes to my times in the Victoria Institution, its a actually a love-hate relationship. I can't hate the school, my father is an ex victorian, so was my grandfather. The school till now still maintain their traditions, and the students they produced are very proud. The school instill the students with egos and that you are the best among the best.
The only down side is, theres the projek bola ppl where these students are taken from various school not for their grades but because of their footbaling skills. They I believe ruined the school.
Interesting experiences in VI? Hmmm, yes, I remember in between classes, my friends and I would go behind the classes (the classes are big u must understand) and smoke. Sometimes behind the scouts den or the cadet's room. I remember, I didnt eat anything yet for breakfast, they offered me a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and yes u guessed it, i puked. lol
Overall VI was a place where I actually had Malay friends. I thought the non-malays there was sombong and arrogant so I didnt hang out with them. I also mixed with in with a lot of bad crowd. Lepaking in the middle of the night in KL, is seriously no joke. I told myself to never travel that path again. VI is full of traditions, pride and being the best, I enjoyed it nevertheless.
The thing I realized is that, its not the schools you go to, or what environment u were in, but its the people that you meet is what makes your school days interesting. They are the ones u meet everyday. When people tell you they miss their school days, I think what they really mean is that they miss their friends.
I guess, everyone needs to be loved, noticed and accepted.

Oh yes theres also the time when a teacher called me up saying I was chosen to deliver a speech to Tun.Dr Mahathir when he visited the school. The whole speech is just basicaly an ass licking lecture about his achivements. The best part of it is when I get to meet and take a picture with him. i shook his hand and he told me it was a good speech. You have no idea what I felt back then, it was like my dream come true. I also got a sijil signed by him. Then theres also playing rugby againts RMC, which my senior sampai patah kaki. They were fearsome i tell u. We lost though.
Hostel was a huge character building lesson. I understand now why ppl who grow up in hostel are so close to each other. I mean standing up to seniors needs numbers, u need friends, u definitely cant live without them. We use to sneak out, go to CCs or go to Target where we played snooker. Sneaking out from hostel 2 oclock in the middle of the night, let me tell u was one hell of an experience. I went through a lot of bad times in Hostel, but now, thinking back about it, I love every moment of it.Overall VI was a place where I actually had Malay friends. I thought the non-malays there was sombong and arrogant so I didnt hang out with them. I also mixed with in with a lot of bad crowd. Lepaking in the middle of the night in KL, is seriously no joke.

The Unforgiven II
Lay beside me,
tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear,
to make my demons run
The door is locked now,
but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me,
than I can understand the you
Lay beside me,
under wicked sky
The black of day,
dark of night,
we share this paralyze
The door cracks open,
but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still,
but there's no sun shining throughNo,
there's no sun shining throughNo,
there's no sun shining...
What I've felt
, what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you....
What I've felt,
what I've known
Sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me,
this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not,
she loves me still,
but she'll never love again
She lay beside me,
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still,
yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...
What I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you....
What I've felt,
what I've known
Sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me,
tell me what I've done
The door is closed,
so are you're eyes
But now I see the sun,
now I see the sun
Yes now I see it
What I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you....
What I've felt,
what I've known
Sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits,The one who waits for you....
Oh what I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you....
(So I dub thee unforgiven....)
Oh, what I've felt....Oh, what I've known....I take this key (never free...)
And I bury it (never me...) in you
Because you're unforgiven too....Never free....Never me....'Cause you're unforgiven too....Oh

Home Sweet Home
You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
You know that I seem
To make romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing-keeps me together
At the seams
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
You know that I seem
To make romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing-keeps me together
At the seams
I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home

New Poll
Naif
I was too lazy to change the poll, but now I have. So go check it out and vote.
Last week's poll question was: If Farouq was in the series One Tree Hill, who would he be?
Many of you voted for "himself" and "whitey.
Guess Farouq should be himself. Coz dier kan dah "happening" and "hip". But come to think of it, Whitey and Farouq does have a lot in common.......go figure!
Neways, yesterday was Farouq's open house, enjoyed myself there, and the food was good too. kudos to him.
Buh Bye. PS: belajar lah utk spm, dah berape hari lagi tinggal lol

found on toilet doors and walls..........
A budding poet trying his best...
Here I lie in stinky vapor,
Because some b@stard stole the toilet
paper,
Shall I lie, or shall I linger,
Or shall I be forced to use my finger.
Before he graduated to be a poet, he
wrote this...
Here I sit
Broken hearted
Tried to sh*t
But only farted
Someone who had a different experience
wrote,
You're lucky
You had your chance
I tried to fart,
And sh*t my pants!
Perhaps it's true that people find
inspiration in
toilets.
I came here
To sh*t and stink,
But all I do
Is sit and think.
There are also people who come in for a
different
purpose...
Some come here to sit and think,
Some come here to sh*t and stink,
But I come here to scratch my balls,
And read the bullsh*t on the walls...
Toilets walls also double as job
advertisement
space.......
(written high upon the wall)
If you can piss above this line, the
Singapore Fire
Department wants you.
Ministry of Environment advertisement.
We aim to please!
You aim too! Please
On the inside of a toilet door:
Patrons are requested to remain seated
throughout the entire performance.
And finally, this should teach some a
lesson... Sign
seen at a restaurant:
The hands that clean these toilets also
make your
food...please aim properly.

We few, We happy few, We band of Brothers
Naif
Looking at those pics ck put up makes my eyes watery. SPM isnt over yet, but I still feel the sadness. I watch the pics and something pierces my heart. Guys, seriously, your gonna make me cry.
Sometimes i do regret leaving Seaport, but I dont want to look back over my shoulders into the past, i dont want to live with regrets. But thats the way it is. Pictures tend to make u think dont they? They silence u, makes u speechless. All these pics are definitely worth a thousand words.
May our friendship last till the end of time.

Just a lot of random bullshit
So how are u guys? James hardly heard any news from you. Jason's gone AWOL, probably studying for SPM, good luck to u :P
ME-well the progress with getting in touch with former friends have been good, currently im trying to get hold of this girl I met years and years ago, dating back from Japan. We were schoolmates in JIS. She too looks very grown up now. As for clare, my guess is that shes very busy with things. But all in all, everyday the memories just keeps on coming back, and everytime I think about it I have these feeling in my gut that pauses me and my mind wanders everywhere. Nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia....
As for other news, my brother didnt pay the astro bills and now its cut off. But on the bright side now I can really focus on my studies. I hate to say this but I just have to:
SPM IS JUST 2 WEEKS AWAY! HAHAHA.
I love doing that. But because of the astro thing, I'm missing out a lot, like Arsenal's draw againts CSKA moscow and One tree hill.....somebody has to keep me updated.
Just yesterday my brother and I had this long chat. Our conversationg was deep man, I mean this one was no holds barred. Both of us let go of everything, something that seldom happens. It seems that my brother got an offer from Coventry University UK. He said hes seriously considering it, because he cant stand UITM. UiTM is full of shit, the lectures suck balls more than Pamela Anderson and Jenna Jameson put together. He cant stand it. But at the same time he was too afraid to tell my father about the offer. Hes afraid it might widen the rift he already has with my father. Hes scared that my dad would say no.
I told him, I didnt like seeing my brother and my dad having this gap. Its breaking up the family. I was acting so childish and the typical younger brother, I felt so lame but at the same time I was sad. Serious man, that night was something.
You guys are so lucky to have your family around.
K....thats it, chiow guys.

Just yesterday my brother and I had this long chat. Our conversationg was deep man, I mean this one was no holds barred. Both of us let go of everything, something that seldom happens. It seems that my brother got an offer from Coventry University UK. He said hes seriously considering it, because he cant stand UITM. UiTM is full of shit, the lectures suck balls more than Pamela Anderson and Jenna Jameson put together. He cant stand it. But at the same time he was too afraid to tell my father about the offer. Hes afraid it might widen the rift he already has with my father. Hes scared that my dad would say no.
I told him, I didnt like seeing my brother and my dad having this gap. Its breaking up the family. I was acting so childish and the typical younger brother, I felt so lame but at the same time I was sad. Serious man, that night was something.
You guys are so lucky to have your family around.
K....thats it, chiow guys.

Jakarta International School
Naif
Have you ever had friendships so strong that once you are seperated, then only you realized how much you miss each other? Then when you meet them years and years later, nostalagia hits back at you and you burst into tears? heres the story....
I was at JIS for 5 years. I had my primary school education there. You see, I love international school, JIS was my favourite. Till today I still cant get over it. Its like my first crush. I love the school so much that it affects me today. Everytime I day dream, my mind wanders to this place, I remember the times I spent, the friendships I developed, the nice teachers, everything. Whats so special about JIS you ask? The people. The people are soo fucking nice. You meet people ALL over the world, all races, all religions, all traditions, it was just fucking incredible.
My last year at international school was at grade5 which is the same as standard5. Our class was very special, we knew each other, and we were so close. To make a long story short we were very close. Then I went back to Malaysia... The day before yesterday I decided to register at JIS alumni at their official website. I went to the directory with my JIS yearbook in my other hand I searched for former classmates. I couldnt find any of them untill I found: Clare Thatcher. She put her email, so I mailed. At this moment I was so fucking excited, you just have no idea. I was thinking "damn i bet she has friendster". I quickly went to friendster and tried finding her name, and what luck, I found her.
I look at her pics and my eyes got watery, dont ask why, because even I dont know the answer. Maybe because she looks exactly the same except shes ssoo big now. Shes soo hot that I was drooling. My mind was running all over the place, i couldnt focus. I knew it was her because everything about JIS is still fresh in my mind. i could tell she that she doesnt update her friendster regularly, so I went to myspace and searched for her. Again I found her profile. I looked all her pics, again nostalagia hits me. The memories came back, i was excited and tearful at the same time. I couldnt explain my feelings.
I was in a state of euphoria. I was in cloud nine. I msg her like so:
Hey,
I'm using my friend's myspace, I dont have one, but I have friendster though. Look me up there. Anyway, I'm not sure if you remember but I'm naif shazili, you can check me up in the yearbook. We were in grade5 together, miss jone's class right? I seriously miss those days. I still remember you had this crush on jonathan raho.err, I emailed you a lot of time but it got bounced back. so sorry for that. neways, keep in touch k? heres my email: xxx@hotmail.com
she replied:
OMG heeey!!! of course i remember you Naif. And excuse me, john raho liked me too lol. how is everything, where are u now?
This is what I replied:
so u have msn? i got so many questions....
Her reply:
i just added u to my msn
We chatted for so long. Most of the entire converstaion consists of like "how are u" "where are u now" " what school are u in" "remember so and so?" " they still know u naif".I was soooo fucking excited man. I asked her so many questions. i found out that most of my friends are still there in JIS and they all still remember me! shes giving my contacts all my former classmates. I cant wait. It appears that they have reunions in Jakarta every year. One of these days I have to go.
most of you I know wont be able to relate to this story. But imagine if you were in my place. We were so close to each other, and for me, i thought i was the only one who felt this special bond. When I ask clare if she felt it too, she said yes. In fact all my friends did. Everybody who went to JIS says the experience they had there was unforgetable. the thing I want to point out is this, guys, ck, farouq, syark, james, and gang, pls never loose each other.
To all my JIS friends- I love u

The obssession with One Tree Hill or in my case-Haley
Haha, I dont know and let me tell you, I was so anti-teenage drama I refuse to watch any of this nonsense. But somehow someway, the advertising started pulling me in. So one day I gave it a shot, what harm could it do. Thats where I found out the power of OTH. Haha maybe I'm exagerating, but maybe because One Tree Hill is so human, people can relate to them. The storyline sucks you in, makes you cry for more. The characters reach out to you and I bet the hardcore fans can say "hey thats exactly how I feel". OTH is dope, its ganja and marijuana put together. For me I just like Haley. But I think what Lucas scott said explains it all.
Lucas: My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. I play basketball -- at least I used to. I have a girlfriend -- at least I used to. And I have a best friend. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world, maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you, or someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their place. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes-someone to helps us hear the music in their world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you.
HBO's Entourage is good too, I watched the whole of season 1 and season 2 on Limewire. Dont watch on HBO, they cut a lot and I mean a lot.

title: the ultimate exam
you may think...that spm is the ultimate exam...i say spm is only a steaper hill to face...when we were in form 3 they say you must do well for PMR...SOME OF US MAY HAVE EVEN HEARD THE PHARES "your future depends on PMR"....now when pmr over .."they"..say that spm is important..now here's the deal...the main reason why we had to get good results for pmr, is because of competition...basically if we can get all the students in the whole of MALAYSIA..to screw pmr..then maybe we wouldn't have worked so hard to acheive..good results...it is because of competition our parents,teachers,etc...pressure us to..study hard..
the next level is spm...(fuh lamak macam xxx the next level oh)....its the same reason for pmr...an individual has to acheive good results for the sake of competition...competiton to enter good varsities...not every university is good..reason being that an established..uni..has well paid lectures and because of the uni's desire to maintain its good name...new uni's will except any given student...because...they need students..to enter their uni...the whoole idea of the university is based on business interest....
let me describe the picture more vividly in an easier way...its like this ...let say a business man builds a turbine..and he needs a river...to operate the turbine...he can't put his turbine in the river cause he has no money to buy a property by the river...so he goes to the stream..the stream represents "any given student"...because of the nature of the stream which is sometimes fast and sometimes slow....so over the years he builds on his turbine..upgrading it to a more eficient turbine...(upgraded his university with better teachers and facilities,and also making his uni's name recognised)...the business man would want a steady flow of water..meaning good students with better results..so in other words he moves onto(setting the standards higher)..river or the sea for a better flow of...water to move his turbine to generate power..
that is why its is important to..study hard and acheive..good results in order to get a place in the university...but this doesn't entirely mean work your butt off and stop enjoying life...that is why people need to start focusing on subjects and not simply taking too many subject...17 a1 what a joke...that means our spm standard is that low...becuase when you go to austrlia...america..6 a s heard of,7 a s heard of but 17 a 1....rediculus...(harry potter style)...i respect nur amalina for challenging herself..and proving to herself that she is capable of doing many things..but the media shouldn't had made a big fuss about it becuase only 1 in a million..students can do such a thing...even the top boy in my school who is doing 13 subjects..only good in studies...sports out...music out i mean he learnt drums before me and i'm 2x better than him...he was grade 2 in guitar for 6months....i grade 5 in 8 months...my studies ok,good not marginally good but good....football ok..main sport bsb also ok....the main reason y he wants to take...13 subjects is because of pride...he has too much pride in him....but ultimately he is good.. i mean 90 above for all his 13 subjects...add maths 98..crazy.....my add math only 63 cukup makan...but 1 thing he can't beat me is my command of the english language..hahaha...not that this blog reflects on my english...can't be bothered bout grammactical errors...now..cause i'm sleepy but can't sleep...
yeah enough being side tracked...back to main topic ultimate exam..yeah the ultimate exam is not your spm but..life itself....after spm there's going to be more..harder...impairable..sickening..irritating..and troublesome..mountains to conquer..and if spm breaks you...just think what it is going to be like when you face harder times..an individual..is considered..to have succeeded in life when he /she...has succeeded in overcoming his/her missfortunes and shortcomings..so basicly..if you have a strong mind and you have a burnig passion for whatever it is you like doing..you will do well in life...its all in the mind...the mind is like a form of power waiting to explode....when you can controll it...it brings out the goodness in you....that enables you to acheive great things

Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya
By:Naif
King Henry V gave this speech before the battle of Agincourt recorded by Shakespeare:
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Its been a long long year and definitely the climax of any year for me. We went through good times and bad times and I can honestly tell you I treasured them all. It has been a wonderful year of friendship. At the end of it all I did one stupid thing that made some of you angry....I apologize.
In the spirit of Hari Raya, I'm truly sorry for the things I did, the words that I've spoken, and my attitude that has hurt anybody. Maaf zahir dan batin.

Some things that should be cleared up....
By: Naif
Look guys, you're missing my point. I completely agree with James, but I have a few things to add, then we can all end this.
Education is something great to have and of course its something everybody persue. But theres a huge difference between education and knowledge. What SPM does is testing an individual's knowledge in their 5 years of secondary school. But as you all know SPM doesn't cover all grounds of knowledge, it covers theory. Everything else must be learn through experience. No man's knowledge is complete and as Sir William Haley puts it, school education would be much better if the student realizes how much they dont know when they get out school (which in turn forces them into a lifelong journey for persuing knowledge)
The thing I want to point about in my previous post is that I dont like how we Malaysians study. Our sole purpose of studying is mainly for passing test papers. All this can be done by repeating the test papers, note memorizations and tution centers. It's absurd. Even throughout the year, how many of you can honestly say that you go back home you actually learn something that can be contributed to society? Pendidikan Moral/Pendidikan Islam? If these subjects really makes a difference i.e make you want to help your neighbour/help cross an old man down the road/pray 5 times a day/stop masturbating why do I still notice that crime rates have been on the rise these days?
I dont know about you, but throughout my 5 years of schooling, 3 years in Seaport, 2 years in Victoria Institution, I've hardly done any practical work except for Kemahiran Hidup. Most of the time I'm doing "latihan" and reading "nota" that teachers give me. Then I go to school and listen to stupid lectures given by incompotent teachers rambling about Malaysian society. After that I sit for exams.....and more exams. My uncle (who is an American) once told me: "Is that all you Malaysians do? I go to work and I ask them what their doing currently, and they tell me their preparing themselves for exams."I can honestly tell you, most of the valuable "education" I got was through books, the Internet and my father's lectures.
To me, the problem with Malaysian's schools lies within the teachers, the administrator and the students. Teachers come to schools mainly to teach and care nothing less if the students understand or not. Students in turn come to school just to chit chat and no passion at all in persuing "knowledge". The leadership of the school is poor, discipline is lacking and therefore everything else crumbles. Like James said, its not like in the olden days where teachers are passionate,strict but very caring. So its no suprise, our University rankings have drop. One explanation is because the students who enter local U suck and lack character. All the "best" students are overseas.
The only thing I like in our preparation for SPM is that, if you the have guts and balls to study every night and day, then getting the straight A's you wanted, I don't think you'll have any other problem in life in general. I mean, with all that dedication and commitment, by right you should be able to do anything! With that said, I'm actually quite suprise that straight A students can't get a job or end up working for somebody. They should have been entrepenuers and billionaires. If they can only apply all that hard work and perseverance into what they do, I tell you they'll be able to rule th
e world!
About our tution centers: I have to say, the fact that you decide to enroll in a tution center shows how much you're incapable to understand what is being taught in the classroom. I mean, I'm completely sure thats the main reason why people turn to tution in the first place. Lets face it, the teachers at schools suck, more balls than Jenna Jameson and Pamela Anderson put together. Besides, I dont know about you, but I've hardly seen any top students go for tution. They're able to understand and do revision at home. If some do, its probably because they needed an extra supplemant or subjects that requires tution, say accounts. Amalina didnt take tution at all except for accounts.
So this is our education dilemma. Its no longer the Malay/Indian/Chinese dilemma, its OUR EDUCATION DILEMMA. I dont think any further complaint is necessary, I said what needed to be said and if the issue is raised again, I give up. Besides, I still want to get straight A's because society demands me to. After that you can see me in the National University of Singapore.

Look guys, you're missing my point. I completely agree with James, but I have a few things to add, then we can all end this.
Education is something great to have and of course its something everybody persue. But theres a huge difference between education and knowledge. What SPM does is testing an individual's knowledge in their 5 years of secondary school. But as you all know SPM doesn't cover all grounds of knowledge, it covers theory. Everything else must be learn through experience. No man's knowledge is complete and as Sir William Haley puts it, school education would be much better if the student realizes how much they dont know when they get out school (which in turn forces them into a lifelong journey for persuing knowledge)
The thing I want to point about in my previous post is that I dont like how we Malaysians study. Our sole purpose of studying is mainly for passing test papers. All this can be done by repeating the test papers, note memorizations and tution centers. It's absurd. Even throughout the year, how many of you can honestly say that you go back home you actually learn something that can be contributed to society? Pendidikan Moral/Pendidikan Islam? If these subjects really makes a difference i.e make you want to help your neighbour/help cross an old man down the road/pray 5 times a day/stop masturbating why do I still notice that crime rates have been on the rise these days?
I dont know about you, but throughout my 5 years of schooling, 3 years in Seaport, 2 years in Victoria Institution, I've hardly done any practical work except for Kemahiran Hidup. Most of the time I'm doing "latihan" and reading "nota" that teachers give me. Then I go to school and listen to stupid lectures given by incompotent teachers rambling about Malaysian society. After that I sit for exams.....and more exams. My uncle (who is an American) once told me: "Is that all you Malaysians do? I go to work and I ask them what their doing currently, and they tell me their preparing themselves for exams."I can honestly tell you, most of the valuable "education" I got was through books, the Internet and my father's lectures.
To me, the problem with Malaysian's schools lies within the teachers, the administrator and the students. Teachers come to schools mainly to teach and care nothing less if the students understand or not. Students in turn come to school just to chit chat and no passion at all in persuing "knowledge". The leadership of the school is poor, discipline is lacking and therefore everything else crumbles. Like James said, its not like in the olden days where teachers are passionate,strict but very caring. So its no suprise, our University rankings have drop. One explanation is because the students who enter local U suck and lack character. All the "best" students are overseas.
The only thing I like in our preparation for SPM is that, if you the have guts and balls to study every night and day, then getting the straight A's you wanted, I don't think you'll have any other problem in life in general. I mean, with all that dedication and commitment, by right you should be able to do anything! With that said, I'm actually quite suprise that straight A students can't get a job or end up working for somebody. They should have been entrepenuers and billionaires. If they can only apply all that hard work and perseverance into what they do, I tell you they'll be able to rule th
e world!
About our tution centers: I have to say, the fact that you decide to enroll in a tution center shows how much you're incapable to understand what is being taught in the classroom. I mean, I'm completely sure thats the main reason why people turn to tution in the first place. Lets face it, the teachers at schools suck, more balls than Jenna Jameson and Pamela Anderson put together. Besides, I dont know about you, but I've hardly seen any top students go for tution. They're able to understand and do revision at home. If some do, its probably because they needed an extra supplemant or subjects that requires tution, say accounts.

How about an "A" in life? Seriously SPM is a laughing matter
By Naif
Btw, am I the only one posting here? Guys you should update more, I'm spending my weekend with my brother, so I get to use the computer often, or else you wont be seing me updating on weekdays coz I'll be at my aunts.
Anyways, I want to dedicate this to all my friends and juniors in VI (or any other school) to seriously consider what I'm about to write. See, with all this comotion because SPM is just around the corner people tend to forget the most important thing: Life does not end here.
Seriously Malaysian society nowadays have this whole mentality that you're not only judged by how many A's you get in your PMR/SPM/STPM but your whole fucking future depends on it. Dont get me wrong, I'm not anti-examination, in fact I believe exams are the only way to test someone's capability and potential, but the situation in Malaysia right now is just outright ridiculous!
Why do I say that? First, lets go to the roots. I bet all of you probably take tution right? ( I know someone in this blog doesnt lol) So why did you take tution in the first place? My guess is that you couldn't understand what the teacher teaches in school. So tution becomes a suplement, a place where you could ask, and do extra revisions. Not only that, but tution also provides past year questions, upcoming questions, future questions, you name it. Besides, come on lah, we all kan malas, we dont do our homework, we dont listen in class, because we have tution!
You also have this perspective that teachers are withdrawing vital information that which is not been taught at school, thereby increasing their comercial value. These "teachers" will only give all these "tips" and "hints" provided they get extra money for it, therefore joining a tution center is a must for teachers.
Because of the increasing popularity of tution centers, more and more parents decide to send their children for tution. They justified it in their mind that its the only quick way to get an "A". They want instant success, they want instant satisfaction. So what do you actually do in this tution center? Everyday you do the same kind of "latihan", hearing teachers repeat the same thing over and over again. Its a never ending repetition of doing past year questions or frequent questions, and reading predicted topics or "ramalan". To make a long story short, you do things over and over again till when it does come out in your exam your just repeating it.
An interesting note worth mentioning, MRSM operates more or less the same way. They bombard the students with millions of homework. Again the repetition, they do this so that all this knowledge sticks to their mind. I have a friend in MRSM who is not content in getting 8A's in her trial!
So with all this help from "big brother" (aka tution centers) its just no wonder that people get straight A's. It becomes too fucking simple. Life thus becomes an endless race of who can get more A's than the other. Do you know that a staggering RM4 billion ringgit is spended anually in tution centers alone? Imagine what we can do with al that money-like getting more qualified teachers! The next time someone tells you he/she gotten straight A's, dont be fucking suprised, coz in this day and age any tom, dick and harry can get 17A's.
Usualy people who write complaining our education system are not doing well in exams. I agree, but this is not a complaint this is a critic =P Secondly, I did get good results in my trials which is 5A's. No, dont laugh! If you do, then you'll be laughing at a whole bunch of successful people who did not do well in their exams. Fyi- Tun Dr.Mahathir got only 3 distinctions! Thomas Edison quit school at a young age and if you still dont know, he invented the lightbulb. Lim Goh Tong, founder of Genting, is illiterate, meaning he cant read and write. Albert Einstein was labelled by his teacher quote, too dumb to do mathematics end quote.
Back to our education system: But its not always the case is it? People still do get bad results in their SPM and so forth. The reason is quite simple. The answer is not being able understanding what is being taught in the classroom. The teachers are too borring, too stupid, too dumb to understand student's mindset. When they get homework, they leave it alone. Parents dont help, their too busy with their job, the same old excuse. Grades drop so they resort to tution centers. Herein lies the flaw: people fail to realize that tution is not a free ticket to an "A". When tution doesnt work, truancy happens and this is the start of all other "gejala sosial". As for others, they pile all their syllabus to last minute. They say to themselves, dont worry, theres still next week. Well next week becomes next month, next month becomes next year. And before you know it, its already SPM!
So there lies the dilemma in our education system. In our persuit of "A's", we end up studying for exams, not for "life". Students then tend to memorized instead of learning. Those who fail to do so do not get good grades in their exams. Theres no creativity among Malaysian youth, no spark, no originality. Its always by-the-book. Did you know Amalina, when asked where she wants to further her studies, she replied "OXFARD". Yes dear, Oxfard indeed. So why the fuck does the government complain when graduates cannot get a job? This is a just whole mess that they themselves created.
To me school, should be a hastle free afair. Kids should be given space to explore their surroundings and environment. Let their minds fly. Parents too play a HUGE role, they're suppose to make space to spend time with their children and always always help them in their homework. Only then can the child understand, only then can then can the child go to school and only then can the child face the teachers. Lets face it, you and I one day will inherit this country, and we dont want cookie cutters, we dont want robots, we want variety.
So what can you learn from all this? Never judge a person by how many A's they get.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education-Mark Twain American writer.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world- Albert Einstein
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune-Jim Rohn
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it-Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it-Sir William Haley

These "teachers" will only give all these "tips" and "hints" provided they get extra money for it, therefore joining a tution center is a must for teachers.
Because of the increasing popularity of tution centers, more and more parents decide to send their children for tution. They justified it in their mind that its the only quick way to get an "A". They want instant success, they want instant satisfaction. So what do you actually do in this tution center? Everyday you do the same kind of "latihan", hearing teachers repeat the same thing over and over again. Its a never ending repetition of doing past year questions or frequent questions, and reading predicted topics or "ramalan". To make a long story short, you do things over and over again till when it does come out in your exam your just repeating it.
An interesting note worth mentioning, MRSM operates more or less the same way. They bombard the students with millions of homework. Again the repetition, they do this so that all this knowledge sticks to their mind. I have a friend in MRSM who is not content in getting 8A's in her trial!
So with all this help from "big brother" (aka tution centers) its just no wonder that people get straight A's. It becomes too fucking simple. Life thus becomes an endless race of who can get more A's than the other. Do you know that a staggering RM4 billion ringgit is spended anually in tution centers alone? Imagine what we can do with al that money-like getting more qualified teachers! The next time someone tells you he/she gotten straight A's, dont be fucking suprised, coz in this day and age any tom, dick and harry can get 17A's.
Usualy people who write complaining our education system are not doing well in exams. I agree, but this is not a complaint this is a critic =P Secondly, I did get good results in my trials which is 5A's. No, dont laugh! If you do, then you'll be laughing at a whole bunch of successful people who did not do well in their exams. Fyi- Tun Dr.Mahathir got only 3 distinctions! Thomas Edison quit school at a young age and if you still dont know, he invented the lightbulb. Lim Goh Tong, founder of Genting, is illiterate, meaning he cant read and write. Albert Einstein was labelled by his teacher quote, too dumb to do mathematics end quote.
Back to our education system: But its not always the case is it? People still do get bad results in their SPM and so forth. The reason is quite simple. The answer is not being able understanding what is being taught in the classroom. The teachers are too borring, too stupid, too dumb to understand student's mindset. When they get homework, they leave it alone. Parents dont help, their too busy with their job, the same old excuse. Grades drop so they resort to tution centers. Herein lies the flaw: people fail to realize that tution is not a free ticket to an "A". When tution doesnt work, truancy happens and this is the start of all other "gejala sosial". As for others, they pile all their syllabus to last minute. They say to themselves, dont worry, theres still next week. Well next week becomes next month, next month becomes next year. And before you know it, its already SPM!
So there lies the dilemma in our education system. In our persuit of "A's", we end up studying for exams, not for "life". Students then tend to memorized instead of learning. Those who fail to do so do not get good grades in their exams. Theres no creativity among Malaysian youth, no spark, no originality. Its always by-the-book. Did you know Amalina, when asked where she wants to further her studies, she replied "OXFARD". Yes dear, Oxfard indeed. So why the fuck does the government complain when graduates cannot get a job? This is a just whole mess that they themselves created.
To me school, should be a hastle free afair. Kids should be given space to explore their surroundings and environment. Let their minds fly. Parents too play a HUGE role, they're suppose to make space to spend time with their children and always always help them in their homework. Only then can the child understand, only then can then can the child go to school and only then can the child face the teachers. Lets face it, you and I one day will inherit this country, and we dont want cookie cutters, we dont want robots, we want variety.
So what can you learn from all this? Never judge a person by how many A's they get.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education-Mark Twain American writer.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world- Albert Einstein
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune-Jim Rohn
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it-Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it-Sir William Haley
