Honestly, I have studied more in one school day than I have this entire week. :/ I felt more urgency when I was preparing for the trials than for this. Hmm. Actually I do feel the urgency, hah, but the urgency isn't urgent enough to make me get off the computer. I'm hoping it's just the holiday mood we're in right now, and when school starts again I can start annoying Alicia about how many days we have left to PMR. :D It's more motivating to study when others around you are studying too. Which is not the case at home even though my brother's UPSR is in a week and my sister's SPM trials is also in a week. Hmmmm.

School break it or make it
One week school break. And it's up to me to decide if I'm going to spend my time studyingggggg. Or if I'm going to, well I wouldn't say waste, use my time for going online and watching movies. As I did just now and am doing now. Heh. <3 Becoming Jane. :DDD
Anyways. For a reason, I didn't feel like studying the entire afternoon. And I didn't get a chance to revise anything on Saturday and Sunday, so I'm behind on my schedule ( I may take a picture of it and show you guys) aaaand now I'm even more behind! I have to work my butt off tonight.

Today was the finals! Yesterday in the semis our pair of men's doubles crashed out. Not totally destroyed though. It was terrible. I was practically screaming every 5 minutes because it was such a close match. But in the end Malaysia didn't make it. Reaaaaal close though. Kudos to the Zakry-Faisomething and Tan-Koo dudes.

World Badminton Championships in India! A few days ago it was all *super good experienced player* *whacks shuttlecock* *SMASH* *new but has potential dude gets totally destroyed in two sets*
Two malaysian players that I've been following, Wong Choong Hann and Lee Chong Wei both got kicked out the day before yesterday and yesterday. :( Little consolation though, I like that the commentator was all 'He's just sooooo nice' over and over again during Choong Hann's losing game. "He's just soooooooo nice, so he can't win" or something like that. hah. And after Chong Wei lost the commentator (who, while commenting on Chong Wei's games, kept calling him stuff like 'my pegasus', 'my boy!' and stuff. haha) and the other commentator was all 'He's SUCH a gentleman!' . Well I'm too lazy to explain why they said that now. You can ask me if you meet me.
gbuy.

That's it.
What the hey. So they're changing Math and Science back to Malay. In 2012. Sure I'll be out of school just then but jfdkslfjsdksd. This still frustrates me. I'm gonna go all *activist* ( as my sis calls me) on this.
So what I know they've said so far is that Science and Math is going back to Malay, AND Chinese and Tamil schools will have Science and Math taught in Chinese and Tamil.
'Based on this observation, he said, the government was convinced that science and mathematics must be taught in the language that could be easily understood by the students, namely Bahasa Malaysia in the national schools, Chinese in the national-type Chinese schools and Tamil in the national-type Tamil schools.'
so if the Malays get their Malay, the Chinese get their Chinese and Tamils schools get their Tamil.
I'm wondering, what about English?
geez I can't believe those high up cabinet people didn't notice that. Grr.
Way to go Malaysian government, we're going backwards now.
My brother will be most affected. 6 years in English and his last two years shall be Malay. Heh.
and srsly. 11 years of Science in Malay and then Uni and Form 6 and College in English? Ridiculous. The least they could do is have English medium schools.
'He said studies by local universities revealed that the level of improvement in the command of the English language by students was nominal, that is, not more than three per cent throughout the implementation of the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in English.'
THAT'S BECAUSE ONLY THE STUDENTS WHO STUDIED IN ENGLISH FOR LESS THAN 5 YEARS JUST ENTERED COLLEGE THIS YEAR.
The batch which started learning Science in English fully right from standard 1 is only in Form 1 now.
But it's okay, I understand. Muhyddin is the Deputy Primc Minister AND the Education Minister. I guess his brain must've fried from all that work or something.
-to be continued due to need of preparation for upcoming PMR trials.
