  those are necessary for those who want to do stuff like engineering...

  at that level, everyone learns... sort of like everyone learns english, chinese, math and science

  yeah but at that age i already knew what i wanted to learn

  everything else was a stumbling block to me

  i agree it is necessary, but if i don't like it, i don't wanna do engineering, why should i learn it?

  the f*ck shit thing is that i wanted Arts and History

  they streamed me to Literature and Technical.

  what the hell, plus chemistry and physics. i really had no interest at all.

  did you know then?

  most don't know..

  besides.. don't be like those whiners who think their brains can be "full"

• kopiosatu

  it isn't about being full.

  i seriously don't like those subjects.

  it is like music, u like a certain genre and some other genre sound like crap to you yet music to others. no matter how u listen to it, it still doesn't appeal to you.

  at that age, i knew and i liked history and obviously, arts. they put me into the classes which i didn't score well at all. when i got the streaming results, i was wondering why they put me there.

  i look at the school questions now, i know that i'll still end up flunking now like i did back then.

  all the pendulum swinging, the bunsen burner burning, melting bits and pieces of metal... nothing went inside.

  i spent my time drawing pictures in my textbooks and kena scolding for it.

  everybody at that time was just concentrating on getting into the engineering world.

  after exams go where? Poly.

  study what? mechanical, mechatronics, electronics...

  i saw some physics and chemistry questions and i am still not interested after all these years. and because of these subjects i had to stay back after school.

  i think things are slowly changing..

  thing about our nanny state education thing is that they think they can figure things out for people...

  i was good at math and all that but still not very interested except in the more abstract versions of them which i'm hopelessly out of my depth in...

  i am interested in history and all that shit but was totally hopeless at it then...

  oh well..

  other things..

  would you buy a PRC car? this fake Altis says it's a plug-in electric engine which is good for 100km per charge.. after which, a petrol engine takes over..

  => BYD's fakery of the Altis
