Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Woohoo. The worst day of the academic year has passed. Today I had three of the heaviest subjects; Law, Economics and Doc et Analyse. Law was, well, law. Like always. I've never liked law anyways, so what the heck. Economics was great. There was three short essay questions, and luckily they are not questions about economics school of thoughts. And furthermore two of the questions were based on things that I've already seen for SPM. But eventhough I answered all correct, my prof will never give full marks. He believes that marks should be well redistributed among students. Like in the previous exam, everyone got marks between 10 and 12, and honestly I think some didn't even deserve 10, while most of us deserve at least 15. But then again, after learning Group Psychology, I might just over-estimating my group. And as for Doc et Analyse, well, I managed to answer the calculation questions, but as for the questions on lectures, ermm...
Today I got back my maths paper. 18,5/20. In Probability! One of the topics that I hate so much (along with logarithm and primitif). And that's my best score in maths so far, even better than my marks in Colmar. And my classmates were all went like "Putain". The thing is, in the previous accountings test, I got a mark lower than usual, and lower than mostof my classmates, but still a good mark. And everyone was like 'Ha! I've beaten Kimi!'. And it was the day of our maths exam and I told them 'we'll see about that this afternoon'. And today I got 18,5.The next best mark was 12. Ha! Baru tau. (Riaknyalah aku ni. Tak baik betul)
Speaking about exams, right now is the exam season in France since the academic year is ending in end June. So the Baccalauréat is just in the corner. The BAC is the French equivalent to STPM (the SPM level does not exist in France, with the BAC you can continue your studies anywhere you want). So everyday, in the news, they've been talking about it. But the difference between the BAC and SPM is that, in Malaysia, we're more keen to talk about students who manage to get as many As as they can (Amalina got 17 As), but in France they're talking about the youngest BAC candidate. This year it's a 14 year old.
Personally I think, it is much more interesting and more important, and even more useful for us to talk about the youngest candidate rather than the candidate with the most As. I mean,what's the use of talking about someone who has As in all 75 subjects available? It's not like he or she will use all of them. Plus, the Malaysian education system does not require people with brains to get good results, as long as you can memorise things and don't suffer from alzheimer, it's sufficient. Wouldn't you be much more in awe if a 12 year score a straight As in 9 subjects in SPM than a17 year scoring As in 17 subjects? I mean yeah, you scored 17 As, but the other guy scored 9, and he's only 12! Which brings me to the subject of a yound boy called Adi Putra.
Adi Putra is 6 years old, and perhaps he's 7 by now. When I was 7, in standard 1, I remembered that in maths, we did additions and substractions up tu 100, with pictogrammes. But this kid, at 6, he has mastered the art of logarithm and primitif (what a coincidence, the things that I hate the mostin Maths). I mean come on, I'm 19 this year, and I still have doubts whenever I do those type of questions. Unfortunate enough for Adi Putra, he was born in Malaysia, where people like him, who're too smart for their age, have no chance to develop his unique ability. The only thing, the only hope that could advance him in the education system, the PTS where one can skip standard 4, does not exist anymore (well, I, as the guinea pig of such exam, know the pros and cons of that PTS thingy). I thinkI would feel prouder to be a Malaysian if he could score A1 in Add Maths and Mod Maths, and I might even shed a tear, rather than when somebody scored A1 in all 75 subjects. And unfortunate enough for Adi Putra as well, that his strength is in Maths. If his strength was his singing voice, I'm sure by now, everyone is prepared to sacrifice a large sum of their money, by purchasing credit hours on their cellphone, to send him thousands of messages each week; "AFUNDI ADI". Sad.
