The Format-Fixated and Silly Paper Called Moral Education!

It is Day 8 and today my daughter sat for this silly paper.

Apparently they have a standard format answer where answer quantity is more important than answer quality. Trust those unthinking chaps at the Examination Board. No wonder, their name will be down--graded to just an assessment authority!

Anyway, my daughter is so happy that it is over and done with.

Scarlett will certainly agree-Not lost in translation!

Day 7- Alchemist's Magic!

Amidst the hooha of the Additional Maths Paper 2 leakage, SPM students take on the magician's treasure chest. The magic of Merlin becomes today's science.

A paper not perceived as horrid as Additional Maths or Physics, Chemistry has its own followers. It piques the mind and curiosity kills the cat or should I say chemistry kills the cat.

I pray to the Lord Almighty to guide the mind and the heart of my daughter as she takes on this paper in 5 minutes' time. She is obviously looking or flipping through the exam question papers right now waiting for the signal to begin. Bless her, O Lord. Give here the calmness of the heart and the clarity of the mind to do well so that her performance can testify to Your continuing and sustaining goodness.

After all, it is written in the Scriptures. If God is for You, Who can be against You?

Day 6: Another Taikoh Paper

So the colossus is now behind us. Confronting my daughter today is the taikoh paper, Physics.

Not every one likes Physics. You must have some kind of affinity to it to excel.

So, you start to drum in the concepts of heat, temperature, movements, inertia and what not. Then you try to apply them to those questions,hoping to solve them in the manner it warrants.

Not for me, never really know what Physics is all about. For those who are good in Maths, Physics should be a breeze!

I pray that God will give my daughter wisdom and favour for today's Physics paper.

Day 5 : The Colossus Additional Maths!

Not until Cassius Clay came onto the scene was there someone who could put down Sonny(The Piston)Liston. And so it was with Additional Maths, a subject most feared by students.

Of course, there are many gifted child who could take on Additional Maths like Cassius Clay could. Many, however, would have to practise real hard to develop the skill to tackle this thorny subject.

Today, my daughter will be taking some 4.5 hours of grilling maths formula and applications around problems to be solved.

In prayer, I lift all her burdens to the Lord so that she will be able to perform well in this paper.

Rise of Voyeurism in Singapore

Just read that there is a rise of voyeurism in spanking-clean smut-free Singapore. Many citizens in this island republic are now using hand-phone cameras sneakingly to snap pictures of the nether regions of their female counterparts below stair-cases,on escalators and in other opportune vantage places. Very graphic pre-occupation,that I grant you!

Interestingly, those caught by the police have included professionals and teachers. Most do it apparently, for the excitement that it offers.

Well, such fun comes with a hefty price in punishment-prone Singapore.

I guess it is happening across the causeway as well. I wonder when it will become epidemic before the police starts taking drastic action to protect the morality of the fairer sex.

Passing On.......

It is sad. When you receive news of friends that have passed on. People you know personally;a breathing person of blood and flesh and bone. And then is no more. Ravaged by disease or down by a stroke or a heart attack.

To date; the following good friends have passed on:

Gloria Leong
Sarjani Manap
Johari Ibrahim
Suresh Maganlal

and now:

Harun Masri - of lung cancer two years ago.

Gloria passed on because of cancer and Johari and Sarjani all died from heart attacks.

Suresh, apparently died heartbroken after the demise of his wife. He sort of pined away...........


Sad to chronicled all these.
