If I Had A Wish, I'd Wish For Whoever Who Designed The School Syllabus To Die A Slow Painful Death

No.. no.. not because of the heavy bags that the kids have to carry everyday, I am pass worrying about that already.

And not because of those ridiculous ways they differentiate one subject into multiple subjects (Pemahaman, Penulisan, Bacaan etc etc etc) until the kids have to carry so many books for one subject.. I am over that already..

No .. no.. my bone today is for that person, who must have a grudge against all parents in Malaysia (or at least us parents who cant afford those expensive private schools and have to settle for the public ones)..

Who? Him.. Him who God knows why, decided that all Standard 4 kids must learn how to play the recorder. Doesnt he know how shrill that thing sounds? And doesnt he know that 10 year olds are more likely to hit the wrong shrill note than the right one?? And doesnt he know that we, the already spending-too-much-time-at-work-and-guilt-laden parents cant tell the kid that his attempts at the recorder is one notch higher than a screaming banshee. If he knew that just one more time of the off tune Mary Had A Little Lamb could make an already frazzled mother think of strangling the school authorities, would he even consider including the recorder into the syllabus?

Maybe he did knew, and he was just a bitter idiot.

To that person, I wish that you would rot in hell full of recorders and off tune Mary Had A Little Lamb for all eternity..

Friday night ramblings

I'm obsessed with watching the Duggars, it's just fascinating watching people live out a different kind of life. Tonight was an episode of the whole family visiting and digging out at a public open diamond mine and at the end of the show Jim Bob hugged his wife Michelle and said "25 years ago I found my diamond" as they gazed adoringly into each other's eyes and I thought, 'No wonder Jim Bob keeps getting laid'. That's one smooth Daddy-O.
