umm.. loads of things to upadte..since my exam is over... i oso have a wishlist to fulfil. actually all along have a wishlist, but now, havign controlled my desires for a long time due to financial contraints, (yes once more, it's the FC) it's time to make the wishes come true... not all, but 1 by 1...

1) get back my contact lens
2) read up on HR... or, PR lah
3) clean up my room (lotsa stagnant air)
4) check monash paymnt modes
5) buy a digi cam
6) reformat my pc
7) house keep the videos n pix
8) clear mails so on

few days back, ch U was discussing the reln between studs n trs. ahha, after watching the dicussion, i really lament (2 serious? not really...) on the plight of today's trs. well, i tok abt this wif my mum. she agree wif mi.

c, back on 1960s, mum's era, the TR is held so highly in regard. the TR is so well educated n knowledgeable. the parents simply handed their children over to the TR to discipline. they take the TR as god n mr know all. they dun dare qn the TR. the TR wanna cane their children, they muz have their reasons for doing so.

recently in 1990s (err, not tat recent lah.. yes i know), parents love their children now n do protect children from abuse by TRs. tat time, TRs still hold power n have the right to discipline n reprimand their children. i rmb, when i first attended.. some chn classes, cos i blur blur dinno TR told us to practise some writing, i kena exposed n he grabbed my hair, face, cheeek n shook mi all over. well, perhaps my timidness oso did its work. i din tell my family at all. but this period of time, students oni know they MUZ do well in sch. nvm if the TR can instil instrest in us anot. it's our duty to study well. the load is on us to do well. if the TR instil intrerest in us, a bonus.

but, look at now. a simple word from the TR to chide the student off will invite a complaint from the parent. the parent simply tereat their kids like king n untouchable. the TR these days really cant do much at all. they dun have any power liao. they r merely ppl who r supposed to teach, instil interest for subject, n try means n ways to keep them keen.

rmb in the past, PSLE/"O"/"A" r all IMPT exam we need to pass? lok at now. the chn syllabus SIMPLIFIED by so much. i think if my siblings retake chn in the sch, we sure get into higher chn level classes. the kids nowadays r kinda too pampered. do they know the meaning of failing, fighting for a pass? failing means they dun really understand a subj but MUZ pass as it's an impt subj for their life. fighting for a pass means, they really strive hard to pass.

now, there r ppl who, for god's sake, duno hwo to speak proper chn, although they have a "chn" name. eg zheng4 li2 jing1. but 2 b fashionable n westernised n keep up wif the times, they clal themselves Eliza Tay. the LI JING? oh forget it, it's so silly n YUX!!! sometimes, even parents themselves dun wan give their kids a proper chn name. the eng name is more impt. huh? well, just keep this in mind. yin shui si yuan - rmb ur roots. n "wang ben mo wang gen" - u can forget who u r, lose urself, but u have to rmb ur roots.

if u meet a malay frn yr later, but u realise he cant speak a proper malay line but can speak fluent eng, will u admire his english or grieve his loss of his grip on his mother tongue? for mi, i may be impressed tat he's using an accented english slang, but will feel bad if he is not able to tok wif his country mates. n i will really feel sad tat he cant speak his mother tongue.

there r millions of ppl tryinmg to learn our MANDARIN. but there r some who simply dun treasure it n blif they wun need it. well it'll b ur loss. i really wonder if the kids these days can spurt out a proper chinese line.

err, oh, where am i heading?? ok, i mean, these days, students simply want to lead their own lives n if somethings goes wrong, they seem to succumb to it. and complain to their parents. their parents, being well educated will want the best for their kids. they dun wan any1 to ill-treat them and make a big fuss if they SUSPECT the TR did something wrong. gosh...

in this way, how r TRs going to keep students in control??

=====================================

um, ok, so today i took my exam.. err, ok, b4 tat, i went to work on thur. den liao... i kena SUAN by my boss. he insinuated mi by saying, some ppl sleep late, n wake up feeling dizzy. some ppl got exam stress, so will feel unwell. KAUZZ!!! make mi sound like i KENGz 1. well i din bother to defend. it jsut the way they wanna think. but i will not b staying long there. thinking of, going insurance partime, like wat Oz pal suggested.

cos this place, really jialutz. tings keep changing. their ops base oso move to msia liao. i think sooner or later ,our helpdesk oso shift place. wat's more, being in IT is a low level job. wat's more it's Supporting role. even worse.

==============================

ok, tok exam now. haha, fwe things. my left eye twitched again. maybe it's saying i'm late for the exam. cos.. hha, jus when i alighted from train, den i realise i'm really rushing for time liao. but i was all along having a relax mind. wif no stress n pressure telling miself to pass. i even took TODAY n read on way there. haha, so relax huh? for the first time, i actua;lly saw ppl cheat in exam.

the guy beside mi was fidgetting. so i looked and by chance, saw him take out a stack of small paper pieces. i know wat he doing. during the first 5 mins, i wanna b a hero n expose him siazz. was thinking "who in the hell shld chaet in exam??" it's not right!! but later, i cooled down. n thot: oh well, he shld b despo to pass, tat why wnana cheat. nvm lah.. jus let him b.

2nd ting is, it's my first time to be so DARN relaxed in exams!!! cos i know my aim is to check outt he qns. whether i pass or not is 2nd'ary. i was so light hearted, when i saw tuff questions, i either tok cock, or i simply giggled. i still did wat i could in the exam. my first timet o come so unprepared for exam, n not worry if can pass anot siazz...

after exam, i felt SO FREE................ even had fun joking in the office. finally my load is off... my exam ie. so time to enjoy myself.

====================================

"go for a walk... take it easy"
