Why, hello there :)

Hey there, and welcome.

I’m very new to blogging, though I have considered blogging a long time ago, many times. A few weeks ago I finally decided that I need to write down things that I find interesting, saddening, inspirational, worth sharing, etc. And it’s mostly because I have given up on writing a diary a long time ago. Well, let’s leave that at that.

This is a fairly odd time to start blogging, because I have my final A2 CIE going on. In fact, I have a Chemistry paper tomorrow. Speaking of exams, CIE isn’t easy, it’s very exam oriented and all you have to do is memorize, memorize and memorize. Well, at least for the science and a few arts subjects. For those who enjoy the subjects and are willing to learn, instead of blindly memorizing, it wouldn’t be such a tough course. But for me, I don’t fancy all the subjects that I’m taking, only one.

It’s ironic actually, because, through all my primary and secondary school life, I have been against the typical Malaysian 100% exam-oriented education. And now, for my Pre-U course, I have chosen yet another similar education structure. I believed (and still do) that students should not just memorize whatever there is in the textbook, and later vomit it out during the exam. Instead, they should be assessed in various aspects, through class quizzes, homework, assignments, etc. That’d be a much better way to shape a wholesome individual. In my opinion, anyway.

I spend most of my free time reading English novels, usually the bestsellers. And it was from reading that I found my favorite hobby to be writing. I write about almost anything, driven by my emotions most of the time, poems just to pass time while waiting for the never-punctual public bus, phrases for the fun of it, and when I’m in a really good mood, a short story. I would update my blog from time to time with my scribbles, feel free to read and leave comments (:
