What you wear definitely makes a statement about yourself. like, if you are out for a formal event, and you wear something like a sackcloth to it (k$sha), it just means that you are rebeling!!
People who wear low cut shirts are daring, baggy clothes means comfort, eccentric wearing( lady gaga) means I don care what you think about me while button downs are usually straight laced.

Why the education system is going down the drain... glup glup!!
Let's face it, students nowadays are either useless rubbish of the society, or even more useless rubbish of the society. For those who are rebels, truants, smokers and drug users et cetera, they are labeled unrecyclable. Those who are good in their studies and are obedient are stamped with approval all over, using the highest quality wax and seals. They are the "hope" of the country.
Teachers, educationists and parents bemoan that the quality of students are going downhill. Recently, the government has been going on about the fact that students are too exam- orientated and this needs to be abolished. That is plain bu**sh**, pardon my language. Obviously they are ALL about exam orientation. Without exams, what is their aim in school life? I am a student and that is the plain fact. Ask others around my age and they'll all agree with me. Why are exams important? Because they are our salvation. The undeniable truth is this: Exams, results and grades determine our LIFE. Without good grades, we cannot enter good universities. That means we can't get good jobs and end up earning less money. We can just about kiss goodbye to our life at that point.
And now, to get to the main point: Why is the education system going down the drain? One word: teachers. No offense, it is true that parents and students are also in fault, but lets just concentrate on the teachers here.
In the olden day society of China, the Chinese philosopher Confucius named teachers and educationists as the top of the chain and as individuals who are the most respected of all. What do we see now? Right about the opposite. So here comes the why, why?
How do they train teachers nowadays? In teacher training colleges. I should know, my mum is a lecturer in one. Why do teachers become teachers? Because they can't find other jobs. That is definitely the truth. The job market is such that no career opportunities for engineers and technicians. These people who are already disillusioned hardly work hard at being a teacher. They are half hearted in everything they do, so how do they teach students to be GOOD students?
The existing senior teachers who are going to retire soon are the ones who really do impart useful knowledge. And from these senior teachers, only a handful of them know how to teach. There are well meaning teachers, knowledgeable teachers, teachers who are full of themselves, selfish teachers... Another system in government are the DGs. Teachers now, instead of concentrating on imparting knowledge, are also concentrating on how to earn more money. This can be done by raising their "pangkat". Is it any wonder that students are degenerating?
Add maths was never my brother's strong point. Once, a teacher of his suggested for him to get tuition outside. My mother was so angry, she nearly blew the teacher's head off. This is certainly true. Instead of going outside, shouldn't the teacher make a larger effort to teach?

Grandmother Toad
See the pic? I call her Grandmother Toad. She lives in my house, and whenever the weather is rather dry, she'll hop into this particular pot, which is kinda cute.There is a saying that if you are lost, just find a toad, lick it's back, and I Mean Lick it, and it'll tell you the way out. I'm sure I don't know whether it is true or not, but you never know. Just a helpful tip for future reference!! That's if you DARE to do it.
Well, you can't see it, but there's a rainbow there. Really. You just have to look really really hard. Rainbows are kinda mysterious. I like them, plus they are so beautiful. There is a legend about rainbows. I bet you've heard of it. The crock of gold at the end of the rainbow?? It's great, and believable if someone actually managed to find one. What a way to be a wet blanket, eh? Little kids, I hope you are not going to be disillusioned just because of what I said.
AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH !!!!!
Guys, i'm so so sorry. I uploaded 2 of the videos, but there's a glitch somewhere, and I can't upload the rest!! There's 4 more, and i don't know what to do. Is this the part where I break down and cry??
