To students, holidays are holy days. Maybe this is the word's origin.

The thing i like about my school is that they always have the mid-term or end-term examinations before a spider-web-weaving holidays. When we were through with our papers as well as our blue pens, we're done. Our mission is completed. Only a few days left for us for relaxation before the real deal come.

But our school's teacher were known for their high efficiency. They can finish the markings before you say Mary Poppins' famous phrase and i am not going type it out since i am not a spelling bee. According to the fastest records, some teachers can finish their work right after the day you finished yours. Why? Because they're not going to let you have a good holiday. I'm just kidding, but seriously, they are like Dominic Torretto and Brian O'conner, FAST & FURIOUS.

I supposed you must be wondering how's my result after the long rest on blogger just for my exams. (You're not?) I still going to tell you, it ends well, well, for most of the subjects. But i am not going to review the marks.

Because this will lead to markism. (You must be saying, there's no such word, not in the dictionary. Language is a creation, so i create a part for it.)

Markism, according to my dictionary, well, you got the idea, when MARK was combined with ISM, it is a serious phenomena. Our country's students were famed with three bad habits
  1. Markism
  2. Racism, mostly on Chinese, and i felt ashamed about that.
  3. Visualization. In French, FAZIBUKASHION, they added a ZIBUK between Fashion.
Markism was listed first because it was pinned on our heads many generations ago. (Yeah, i said OUR, that means i have one too.) Sure, marks for rating the grades shows our acknowledgment about the subjects, the motivated and pushed the students from failing the next time and waste another 31536000 seconds learning or doing the same things. And competitions made a better student.

But when a student starting to ask a teacher like this:
"How much will occupy our total marks in our test?"
"How much does it effect our report card's average?"
"Will this be on the next paper?"
"Well, the subject only have one period per week so i might as well leave it aside."
"Teacher, can you please give us easy questions?"
"Why did you deduct my marks? "
Does the percentages really worked out fully?

Of course you'll say, everything has its benefits and its disadvantages, you can expect it more.
I knew that, i wrote that a thousand times when it comes to the essay titled "The advantages and Disadvantage of Facebook/Internet/Google/Emails/Comic/Online Games/Love Novels/Drama/Movies/Cartoons/Anime/Mahjongs/(Everything we liked besides reading classics novel or encyclopedia.)" We always end it with "(Object) has it Advantages and Disadvantages. We should use it wisely/dengan bijaksana or it will become a harmful thing to us."

The generation's desire of learning is decreasing, (Since a certain percentage of them thought they knew it all, but when Wikipedia is growing, they don't.) most of the learners cares more about the marks and periods. But i wondered.

Does the certificates list out like this?
XXXXXX subject --- E, but this subject only have 1 period in the candidate's school, so you (Universities) don't need to concern too much about the E.
XXXXXX subject --- A, it has 7 periods per week in the candidate's school! Accept him!

Wow, what a personified certificate. I wish i got one of these.

Knowledge never ends. And you care only about the marks and the knowledge, how will you face your own child?
"Daddy, can you teach me (subject)?"
"Of course, i once score 93.5 for it."
{Ten minutes later}
"I don't know, since when they changed the formats?"

I pity the next generation, don't make me do that.

Racism as i said it was a little Hitler's bug on our nations. A few weeks ago, a case of school bullying shocked the country. (I know some of you from different country might don't think it is serious, but hey, school is our second home and this is like robbed in our own house.) I was furious for that bully, that (Fill in the blanks with female dog's name.) haven't even met the society and she thought she's the boss. Talk about pre-fermented wine.

But i am talking the aftermath, FAZIBUKASHION, protesting groups rose up like the ones in PLANT VS ZOMBIES. Fine, i can understand the hatreds, but one of the group just mentioned such sentence repeatedly in the info zone.

"Protest against school bullying. Only Chinese bullies Malays, Chinese bullies Chinese is unbearable!"(Translated)

Talk about Hitler's bug. This guy or gal needs know my comments, "You have no differences with the packs of dogs that woofs for areas. (Bark! this is my territory! [Beep] off from the place! Bark!)" Anyone who knows the creator of the group, pass it around his/her ears.

As you learn science, ladybirds were separated to two main species, 7 dots and 28 dots. 7 dots are beneficial insects for farmers. (That's humanity's prides, what's good for us is good. ) 28 dots aren't since they are herbivorous. (When you don't know about this, read some other books than buku rujukan!)

In a human race, they're always some 28 dots ladybirds.But it doesn't meant the 7 dotted do not exist. There are no definition for a race to be all bad or good. There are certain percentages only. So if you thought about other race like a racist, think how they will think about us.

Have i gone too far? Or did you scrolled too fast?
This is might be boring discussion but i am one of my generations too, i express my thoughts through keyboards, since no speech competitions allow us to talk like this.

Congratulations! to my sis who just graduated! I am proud for you as a little brother.

This is the results of resting to much on blogger. I forced myself to save up the things i wanna say.

As the phenomena always goes on. We always think about why we take exams and how it supposed to be for educations, but we forget it soon as the exams ends.

Typical Reality.

Feel tired? Be happy because this post is ending right

NOW.
