-so called writer's block...

the internet connection here seriously need attention, got few assignments like usual, belly getting "firmer", rainy days make me feel blue (not doing blue stuffs mind you) and yeah i'm having a serious writer's block this past few days (a politically correct words to use rather than "yeap i'm lazy to update my blog" which is basically the truth.. hah!)

then again, i got to admit i'd tried to post few stuffs but never finished it.. i dunno why? perhaps there's something that i need to sort out first only then the mood to write possess me again.. but i usually got the mood when something happened to me like i'm having problems or i'm happy or i'm somewhere in between.. i told you before that writing is some kind of therapy to me (not that i'm indicating myself as a problematic dude) just that i simply love to write when i feel i want to..

*darn, i'm not going anywhere ain't i.. something still blocking my creativity, my sole property*

let's talk about issues... the PPMSI issue..well, i got to say that i totally opose if they want to stop it.. why? its only Mathematic and Science for goodness sake (and yeah English itself too).. the two subjects which are very vital in global carriers...as Tun M posted in his blog, there are many things of science in English language and how do expect too "membahasa Malaysia kan" all the scientific terms for the convenience of students to learn.. and later on, should they learn every thing in BM, when they come to the tertiary level of their studies only then they realize they in dire need to empower themselves in English.. what more for students who will be going overseas to study, if they are weak in English then they will have double work as they need to learn the terms in English and to learn the subject itself.. and they need to compete in a global scale with students from all over the world.. and when they fail to do, everyone will play the pointing finger game..very cliche of Malaysia..

for the time being we have to accept the fact English is the lingua franca of the world.. i'm not saying i don't love my own nation language.. no.. there are many other way for a person to show his love to his nation other than fussing about the teaching of Math and Science.. like thinking what best for the future rather than what best for self interest.. ;p

i'm not being taught in English for those subjects during my time (why suddenly i feel so old?) and that's why i hope the new generations won't face ordeals in learning the subjects when they come to the tertiary level... furthermore, i believe they also have the confidence to discuss or debate any problems with they lecs or peers (espcly those in foreign countries)...

there's was an incident few years ago, my primary nephew asked me about math which was in English and to my own shame i found i don't know the terms they were using for the subjects.. (of course la then i know what it was after i look at the equations and numbers.. LOL).. its a good thing they know things better than me.. this is how it supposed to be, the newer generation must always be better than the previous one (darn i'm that old)...

for the sake of our future generation to be able to become competitive and viable on the world stage, they need to master these vital subjects in English.. our Bahasa Malaysia won't be left out of course, this is our national language how can they don't know it... this is only my 2 cents worth of thoughts.. i'm not academician or those people with influence.. just an ordinary undergraduate living a hectic student's life who is hoping the best for the future generation (my sons and daughters of course haha)..
