I NEED A SOCIAL LIFE!
Seriously. I can't stand this routine. Wake up, school, home, sleep. I am current suffering from Severe Social Deficiency Disease, also known as SSDD.
And I don't know why, but I think of Singapore everytime I feel I'm lonely.

Rant On Unknowns
Question 1: Integrate each of the following with respect to x.
With respect... with respect... with respect.
Well, you know what x? I respect you very much. In fact, I respect you SO much that I write you down almost everyday in almost all the pages of my additional mathematics book. x, x, x, x, x. Oh Mr. x, I respect you so much I think I'm gonna worship you! You, the most popular Unknown in maths; most popular among all unknowns from A-Z; the most feared unknown.
But you know what Mr. x? It would be better if you would just disappear. Seriously. It would make our lives much easier. 2x + 2 would be 2 + 2, and 144x - 31 would be 144 - 31. See how easy it would be for us? Darn, everyone would get good results in all exams then.
Why is it always that we have to find your value? You know what I think? I think you have no value at all. In fact you are so worthless that I don't think anyone would mind if you disappeared from our equations. Forever. And no, you're not gonna take over x's place, y. Not you either, a. Or any of you from the 26 alphabets. Unknowns are unwelcome in this world.

See? It made no difference. x's suck.

Are You Patriotic?
Every Monday morning at my school, hundreds of students pledge their allegiance to the national flag hanging above the pole in front of them.
Does saying these phrases aloud make any difference to how we act and feel towards our country each day? Do the students even care or know what they mean? Now, isn't this just a waste of time?
I believe everyone reading this have taken up their hands and said the pledge before. Not once, not twice. But uncountable times. Ask yourself this:
1. Does reciting this make you believe in God more than you ever did in the past?
2. Does reciting this make you more loyal to your country?
3. Does reciting this make any sense to you?
4. Does reciting this make you respect the law more than ever?
5. Does reciting this make you a more polite?
These are, in my opinion, merely mindless repetitious incantations. Shouldn't it be the way that the nation is allowed to pledge their allegiance at their own free will? The oral recitation of the pledge is not sincere at all, holding no purpose or importance to the country and the people.
To prove that what I say is right, you can ask the people to say, "I shall kill myself after I recite the pledge." and see how many actually jump down the building afterwards. Well, you get my point.
Every time I see hundreds of students standing straight, singing the national song and saying the pledge, I wonder how many actually love our country with all their heart, and how many who say it just because of the forced patriotism in our country, Malaysia. Are we looking at true patriotism? Or just the mere appearance of what seems to be as seen by our government?
Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan
Kesetiaan Kepada Raja Dan Negara
Keluhuran Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
Kesopanan Dan Kesusilaan
Kesetiaan Kepada Raja Dan Negara
