it's almost the start of school...
how time flies by. what have i done this hols? nothing much. not even near to completing half my hw. the usual midnight rush to complete it. what have i learnt? quite a bit... yes, perhaps (someone) is right. perhaps i should tone down a bit. but one doesn't realise it till one is hit hard by death of a loved one, to realise that one has to stop taking everything so lightly. that there are things, in life, that one has to take seriously. it's time i come to terms with everything. come to accept everything as it is. not as a movie gone wrong. not as a fantasy. but as it is. reality. it's time i learn to be able to face things. it's time i stop talking so much crap and just get things done, i guess. though i never seem to be able to do that. somehow i'd rather school not open. yes, partially because of the homework and tests. but more of another reason. i'm beginning to think. school isn't such a great idea after all. that there are many more things you can learn. not from school. but from finding out the world as it is. Yourself. Not memorising phrases from ci2 yu3 shou3 ce4 (a most common, practical way of learning chinese unfortunately), not cramming down facts. But. (as i have said) discovering the world. And yourself. maybe the MOE should set aside a whole month of holiday, with no homework at all, no tests awaiting. for us to travel. for us to learn the true meaning of knowledge. i wish. sometimes i just dislike the whole idea of the education system here in Singapore, however much i seem to be coping here from outside. Sometimes i just wish i could go overseas. to be given the space to enjoy Life. and the beauty of Nature. and spend time with my family and friends. oh i wish.
