Second year thoughts
Time really does fly. Another four subjects done, another three exams coming up. It's study time so fast again :(

Home
Can't help but keep up with the news from home. It's hilarious to read what the BN government is doing to keep the voters with them.
And what's all this about making History a hurdle subject for SPM? There's almost nothing useful in that subject except the world history bits, and even that isn't remarkable. Barring a revamp in the syllabus to make it more holistic [and to remove the subtly strong Islamic flavour], this is just another ploy to make students learn stuff. In reality, what we do is read, vomit it out for the exams, purge it from our systems, and that's our duty done. We can then go along and enjoy what remains of our teenage years.
On a related note it's also interesting to note that PMR is going to be abolished soon. I like hearing all the people claiming that it will make children more lax and whatnots. I also have doubts about the overall effect on the schoolchildren, but perhaps this will stimulate them to think critically [who doesn't hope that we'll have the next youth genius coming from our country?]. Even so, I hope I'm not being overly optimistic.

Rested
It's been a while since I logged on here to post. Maybe it's the workload. The past 2 weeks have been just spent running around doing stuff. Fun, but still.. you get the drift.

Birthday
Enjoyed it thoroughly. So many people came to dinner, it was lovely having them all around to celebrate with me. Of course ideally I'd love to invite more people, but there's the space considerations. Bit difficult to squeeze everyone into that restaurant, no? In any case thanks guys for turning up for the dinner celebrations, I really enjoyed the company :)
So... I'm officially another year older! It certainly feels different, celebrating birthdays without much family around. There's that something or other that's just quite difficult to explain without half the world blowing up.
Anyway... the lecturers have set me some birthday assignments, so I'll be going to finish them off first.
