Unfair.

I read today’s newspaper about PMR candidates in Sabah and Kedah who had to be quarantined for hours during their English examination. The reason was that the exam paper was not enough for every candidate. First thing that I want to say here is it is very unfair to those exam candidates to be quarantined for more than two hours because of mistakes made by some incompetent staff. I mean, having to face a big state exam like that is already putting a lot of pressures on those kids. And having to be quarantined is another thing. Is it fair to those students?

And the saddest thing is the ministry’s officials were unable to give any comments on this. To be honest, I think this is the most stupid mistake that can be made by anyone – let alone by the examination board or the ministry for that matter.

There we have, a story of a bunch of incompetent people doing a very basic job – to provide adequate exam papers to students. I surely hope that the authorities have a very good explanation for what just happened.

P.S. My lectures start tomorrow! Accounting and Finance with Ms. Dedman.

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
