Height Issues
I ain't happy with my height. Blame the genes. Or maybe my pituitary gland got clogged. Whatever it is, I'm gonna keep on ranting bout my height. And don't try to tell me to be happy with what God gave me. Don't tell me you're perfectly fine with your looks. Maybe you'd choose to have more volumed hair, maybe it's your eyelids, maybe it's that brow which wouldn't grow the way you want it. Or that tooth that sticks out so obvious that you dare not show your teeth when you smile. Is your nose a little too flat? Got low cheekbones? If you're given a chance, I'm sure you would change something about your looks. You aren't happy with your looks, I know it. I'm not happy with mine either. Maybe you want bigger eyes, maybe you want a better-looking jawline. Dimples too perhaps. For me, I want to grow taller.
At 154cm, trust me, the world isn't a pleasant sight.
"Look! There it is! On top of the mountain!"
"See what? The mountain is bald."
"You blind is it? So big on top there also cannot see."
My mum is short, about my height. And from what I heard, my biological father is short too. Thus, I was born short. And I reached puberty at like, 10 years old?! Reaching puberty at such a young age made me taller than the others in my primary school days. Yes, those were the oh-so-pleasant days. The days when I could happily walk to the back of the row when teacher asks us to line up. The days I could reach shelves which others couldn't. Ah, the sweet memories.
Don't tell me to look a bright side of this, cause there ain't a bright side. Don't tell me that at least I won't be taller than my boyfriend. I see nothing bright in that. Nor the fact that I could fit in the kawaii children's clothes. And the worst of the "bright sides" is telling my that I'd look cuter if I'm short. Cause I know the truth - I don't.
Also - I DON'T BELIEVE THAT JUMPING HELPS. My mum asks me to jump everyday, which I don't. Logically speaking, if an overweight girl like me were to jump up and land down with like 50kg of fats, don't you think the pressure alone with make the legs shorter? Don't try and intimidate me with your Biology theories, I'll shoot you back with the logical Physics theories I made up.
And that teacher. That teacher who couldn't hold her tongue for like one minute. After like a whole load of elaboration in front of the class, all she could say to me was, "You know, I just realised that you're this short." Fuck you, whether you meant it or not. You think you're so tall is it? Think before you ever say anything, can? I know my genes suck and I have miniature cells. I also know you have gigantic cells so huge that you are a unicellular organism that looks taller than me.
- End of rant -
By the way, I've just started some stretching exercises today. Wish me luck. If it doesn't work, I should just go live with the seven dwarfs in Snow White. Then maybe the prince in the story will go, "OMFG A CHINESE IN A FAIRYTALE?!" Then he'll marry me. And we'll live happily ever after.
P.S.: Sorry, Snow White.

Education Ruined The World?
Can it be said that education ruined the world?
Many families in the world are having problems with their relationships and because of that, parents drink; teenagers do drugs; join gangs, etc. And what is the cause of problems in family relations?
Parents work hard because they have to support the family. Not only the basic needs, but also for education. Now, we all know that education is costly. And we're not talking about just completing secondary school. We're talking about college. University. How much is the fees again you tell me? 20 grands? 30? Or is it 40? How much is it again to obtain a doctoral degree? Even a master's?
Because of all the hard work that have to be done by parents, and all the studying and homework for the kids, communication has become scarce. And what happens when there is insufficient communication? I've gone through that. For parents out there, you'd never know what is in your children's mind. When I was little, I have always thought that my mother never loved me. She owns a kindergarten, and in kindergartens, there are little kids. I've always assumed that she loved the kids more than me, and that if the kindergarten is on fire and I'm drowning, she'd save the kindergarten first. And what's worse is that, I've always thought that if I destroyed the kindergarten, and if all the little kids doesn't exist, she'd start to love me. She'd start to realise I'm there. She'd hug me in her arms and never let go. At a point, I even thought she'd be happier if I wasn't there, so I secretly fantasized of running away from home, which I eventually didn't do, thankfully. I was 7 at that time.
Maybe that's just me, or maybe all children think alike, who knows? Well, just be wary to be safe. So, back to topic. Education ruined the world? In my opinion, yes. After all the parents' hard work, most of the kids hate studying because parents never had the chance to teach them about the importance of education, how important is education so they could earn enough money for their future families and continue this infinite cycle. And what about potential children whose parents can't afford to pay their college fees? Yes, there are many other alternatives, but hey, you get the picture.
How many families survive this phase and bring up successful children? And how many don't? Since the successful ones are getting lesser, and the chances are that some of the successful ones don't make successful parents, what is going to happen to the future of this world? Maybe the world isn't going to end when the sun becomes to hot and melts it. Maybe it is going to end because of a never-ending chaos that even national security cannot control. And maybe the 10 lucky successful people will get together and set off to Mars, leaving Earth behind, leaving Earth to die. And in Mars, the cycle continues. End of humanity.
There are many possibilities in the question of how the world will end, and you better pray that it isn't going to end like this.

No Life
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
Keluhuran Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
Kesopanan Dan Kesusilaan
