Every morning, you awake to a seemingly brighter day, but what usually comes to your mind first? OK, besides the beautiful face of your crush or something, usually its about the decided fate of those 'under 18' to go to school everything at a fixed time, thus depriving you of the much need '8-hours' and leaving you with bags under your eyes as big as the one on your shoulders. Loaded with homework. I remember as a 5 year old, I was soooo excited to start school, and to do homework, and to LEARN. Whee...the joys of learning new words everyday and finding more about the language I'm currenlty blogging in. You see, I started learning English at the age of 5, in kindergarten, which means I was VERY behind most of my classmates. Surprising enough, I did much better than most of them, although I did gain the record of being the first spectacles-wearing student :p And then you start having to wear the uniforms. Can you imagine, how ugly it was, when you first wear them and your parents tuck everything in for you, they buy your those big trolley bags and they ask you to carry them with pride. LOL. What an insult. Luckily, we now know better than to do that, and the uniforms are not as bad as then. However, a uniform is sort of like restricting us to do anything, just because we are students, we have to act like students. So why is it that adults don't have a uniform code and they do not have to act like adults? Some of them are so childish at times. Its so unfair. Homework is really useless, if you look back. 90% of the things you learn are useless. If you want to be an accountant, you only need the maths percentage of your studies. So you waste like 90% of your years in school. If you grow up to be a tai-tai, you waste everything, because eventually, you use nothing, zilch. You have no need for knowledge. You could have spent the years making yourself prettier so you hook someone even richer. So the idea of school is more like a jail. Its barring you from everything else. You cannot 'pon', the mere idea of it is evil. To skip school is like sinning. So why is it that we are jailed inside? Did we do any wrong in the first place? Ok this is so confusing. What makes people think that school is necessarily good for us? It might turn out bad. You see, when people have knowledge on perhaps, birth control methods, they go around using their methods to perform their dirty acts or something. Isn't it a backfired effect? Therefore, we should sign our pitiful names on a piece of blank paper, down in black and white, against schooling, as it is useless besides the fact you can goggle at the cute guy in school or that you can meet new friends and widen your social circle. But who needs that? If language was not made in the first place, friendship would be nonexistent and you have no need for that. Thus, you have no need for school. OK, I'm crapping. Here's a poem by KQ, edited a little by me. The effects were mainly done by me lah. A big big girl, In a big big world. The smae old life Revolving Around the same place I'm getting tired of it I do think That if you leave me I shan't miss you much That day you left me Tears fell from my eyes Drip. Trickle. Down my face. Why it all have to go? You kept me in so so long. Now I'm alone. i asked you to let me go But now that you do I feel so lost The day I left you It was all so weird No more long long days No more same old life Its all all over You will be the same old you But i will change so so much Cos I have left you A big big girl Leaving this same old place That I grew up since long I shan't miss you much I'm only relieved Relieved to have come so far To depart But like the way I'm feeling Inside. Its not a big big thing Now if only you gave me more life. Donning the white uniform Entering the room I see a view That many fear To reach Maybe if I really tried I would have seen The miracles it worked The joys it bring But really Something's keeping my eyes closed And I can't see it 9 full years I have come so far Behind these bars Not literally But physically Did they ever think we felt happy? Did they ever think we knew Because we don't And never will we Unless we have the key to open this door We are all trapped Behind this door Bound by walls And faced by stones Stones hailed at us Every single day Voices hurling at us To complete our tasks Can you feel the pressure building on us Can you see the levels in our vessels Rising. Sooner or later We will collapse If we do not get out of here soon. 4 years later Just a bigger hell What more is there to come? (this is a more abstract one i just wrote.) Have a nice day completing your homework. Honestly, school is just a bore!
