Well, i'm okay now. the past 2 posts were very angst ridden. haha. i know. and it bores the shit out of people to have me repeating the same thing.
well, i haven't really sort out my life yet but wth right? i'll just go with the flow. my parents finally backed me. and i'll tell you, i'm very surprised by it.
on the other note, i'll have another 2 more months to bum around before the real thing starts. So what have i been doing? i've been a couch potato, watching series. HEROES from season 1 till season 3 had been real educating. LOL. seriously, i love the narration and sometimes the dialouge itself. And Peter Petrelli said something that i will, most probably live-by AGAIN. what do i mean by AGAIN? I was like what he said once but it didn't get me anywhere and then i changed, and it didn't get me anywhere as well. so i think, i'll just settled back to who i was. changes, might be good but sometimes, it isn't.
and that doesn't mean i will see things as naively as i was before.
CHUCK season 1 and 2 is really awesome. it's a nerds/geeks show. only nerds/geeks will understand it. scratch that. it is actually really nice and it's NOT at all geeky or nerdy. nerds/geeks and secret agents, nice! =) not to mention, it's really really funny.
now i'm on GOSSIP GIRL season 2.
okay, as you guys know, the gov has finally decided to scratch english for science and maths and reverting back to BM.
i THINK, it's a very very stupid move. make that idiotic. they have only tried english for like what 7 years? and they expect the students english at par with western countries? it's stupid. if these 7 years hasn't shown any improvement, it's like an alarm being sound. it shows how bad our english are. and they want things to go back to BM.
it doesn't matter if they added more time for english lesson. english is another language that needs practising whether it's writen or spoken. and their reason for terminating english is because the they ASSUMED rural students can't handle it. if they can't handle school level english, how are they gonna handle the world later? contracts, documents, reports, they are all written in english that is so formal, sometimes, i don't even know what is it and i totally give up on reading them.
thing is, they are protecting these people so much that they didn't realize they are destroying them and the generation after.
it's like the saying, give a person a fish for a meal and that person will ask for a fish for the rest of his life.
teach a person to fish for his meal, and he'll be able to fish for himself for the rest of his life.
the way things are, people will get too reliant on the gov. it's time to step out of the comfort zone. things may not be improving now but what about years later? 7 years for english is a very short time. if that 7 years were the age of human years, it means our english is still like a child. still growing. still have rooms for improvement. and they have decided to not continue it. what a waste of time and effort. they have just killed a child, metaphorically speaking.
on an ending note, you can't get a tree tomorrow if you've just planted the seed today.

Well, the problem is that teachers are reluctant to teach in English as well (not all, you know who are the culprits). No matter what the Government implements, if the teachers always think that it's impossible or they do not want to do it, I doubt anything would succeed. Happens especially from teachers who are poor in English. What more can we expect?
Personally, I think that having Science and Maths subjects thought in English would very much help especially in latter educations like in colleges or universities especially private ones. However, I don't think the decision to revert back to BM was made based on the a comparison between benefits of English and BM and also benefits to a student later in life but rather, based on the target academic achievement by education institutions.
Also, I'm pretty sure most teachers wants a pay rise and also a huge paycheck every single time. If I'm not mistaken, I have been told that teacher's who are 'related' to the brilliant achievement of a student would be rewarded in monetary terms.
Do correct me if I am wrong. Just based on what I hear and what I see. I maybe wrong. =) And yea, I think it would take a VERY long while before our country would be on par with western countries.
yeah! I'm agreeing 200% with you Steph!! they gov's recent move to revert science and maths back to BM is actually taking a step back instead of improving. Those that learn in BM are in for a culture shock when they start uni or college where all is in English. Screw that education minister lah!! Get ready to welcome the kampung generation in 2012 =.='
YOU ARE COMING TO BAC?! OMG!!! *tears in eyes*
