On Making English the Compulsory-Pass Subject

There has been talks to make English a "compulsory pass" in SPM. I don't know the exact definition of a "compulsory pass", but I understand it to mean -- if you don't pass English, you won't get the sijil.

Ridiculous.

Absurd.

Elitist.

Colonialistic!

What's the purpose of denying a student the SPM cert JUST BECAUSE he failed English? I mean, he might have passed other subjects! Can't give him the cert and just say he didn't pass English ah!

So there was this Pakistani guy, whom I shall assign the name Daha.

We know each other, but not well enough to call the other friend.

So Daha and I are both taking Linear Algebra this semester.

Daha took the "normal" Linear Algebra whereas I took the supposedly honors Linear Algebra which emphasize more on the theoretical (read: obscure) aspects of the subject, e.g. proving theorems.

Daha thought I was good at Linear because I got an A in the first midterm when he failed his.

So he'd asked me a couple of times, sort of informally, to teach him Linear, which I gently and politely declined, because the reason I got A was because the test was easy (evidence: in our second midterm, we got an open-book, open-laptop test. We got to work with partners. And the professor ordered pizzas. One angmoh sing during the exam, and I was like - "do you have a more soothing song?")

Daha said I was very hardworking, because his friend saw me pulling all-nighters in the computer room a few times, supposedly studying, when in fact the reason I had to stayed up all night was due to poor time management and prior procrastination.

I said I wasn't hardworking, cuz I wasn't even studying.

To which he snapped, "Dude, why are you lying?"

He told me he got a B in this second-midterm. I told him B is not bad (since that should be a vast improvement from the F he got for his first mid-term, and I'm only hoping for a B for my Modern Physics).

He said yeah B is not bad but he's still sad. I walked forward to hug him and he walked away.

Deadweight Loss

Men discriminate against women, women teruk, but at least men can gain something.

Slave trade in America, whites discriminated against blacks, made them slaves in cotton plantation, blacks worked teruk teruk sometimes like animals, but at least cotton is produced, in a sense there is still productivity (at the expense of the black people of course).

Heteronormative people discriminated against homosexuals. Can I know what do they gain?



All these hooh-hah's against homosexuality by the Muslims recently, and their assumption that Islam is above every human rights instruments...make me realize how comfortable life must be for a majority who never needs to challenge his own assumptions, whose values allign with the mainstream society, by the definition of mainstream.

For one millisecond, I thought, kanineh, how good it must be as a Muslim in country. But I can't think of any good. No sex before marriage. Crazy people have say in all your private life. People tell you how to wear.

Seriously, got any good? But I guess there is no good in religion one la. Waste resources only.

I Absolutely Heart This Song

In light of the falsehood that has been voiced over thiese few weeks regarding Seksualiti Merdeka by certain segments of Malaysian society and the subsequent upset of the festival, I thought we could use some saccharine sweet music to boost our morale.

This is Why I Hate Your Islam

Taken from here: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=445968578489439861&postID=3945137238038412655

"We don't hate you. We accept the fact that there is LGBT among us. We are willing to work among you. We will never randomly spit or harm you. But please don't force us to accept your sexual ideology like this.

Why you want to BOLD PROMOTE your lifestyle? It is like telling us that you want us to be like you.

In Islam, LGBT is SINFUL/PROHIBITED as similar to drink winery, eating pigs, pre-marital intercourse, or killing without any good reason. If there is any LGBT who also a Muslim, he/she/etc obviosly SINNER.

Many convention agreement or legal enactment about human rights but when certain part of it clearly contradict with Islamic practice, we Muslim accept the rules by Islam above the other no matter how not popular the rules is.

Sadly you're in Malaysia, you are living right in the middle of muslim community, so please don't contradict much when it comes to issue like this.

YOU ACTION IS LIKE ONE CHEERING FOR ROONEY WHILE SITTING AMONG THE FULL ENERGETIC CROWD OF LIVERPOOL DIE HARD."

Meeting Someone in Cambridge

Met a gay Malaysian guy this afternoon. This is like, my second time meeting someone who is gay whom I know online (does facebook count, haha). So I was quite excited.

We walked around his campus, found some place to sit and have tea (Indian Chai which taste like teh tarik I suppose). Basically just chat. And you know, I'm very bad at talking one...so it ended up him asking me a lot of questions and I answer. Haha.

Him: Which part of Malaysia are you from?
Me: Kedah. (I already know he's from KL.)
(chat chat chat)
Him: What are you studying?
Me: I'm not quite sure yet. But it's probably Biology, or Biological Physics, or Biochemistry.

(ok it's not just him who ask questions la...I also got ask, eg

Me: What's your thesis about?
Him: Oh...I'm writing on the topic of (bla bla bla)
Me: ooh...(oh shit DeluSion! Think! Think! What to talk next!!!)

Then he asked me whether I'm strictly into guys. So I say yes lo. "I'm quite strict. haha." [Actually not. Would I really care if someone in every way conforms to my (deeply colonized) ideas and expectations of a man and is extremely hot but has a vagina? I think no lo. But I think this is just an academic question la. How often do you bump into such guys.]
(Disclaimer: This statement shall not be construed to mean that I'm top.][Disclaimer2: The preceding disclaimer shall not be construed to mean I'm bottom.][Disclaimer3: Disclaimer 1 and 2 shall not be combinedly interpreted to mean that I'm versatile, versatile bottom or versatile top.]

You see the thing is that I usually avoid asking personal questions in a conversation because I'm scared of making people uncomfortable. That means I will even avoid questions like "Do you like coffee or tea." haha. So...haiz...like that how to talk? Sure run out of topics right...

So don't say I didn't do anything in the weekend!!

Yay, now go study.
