This is dedicated especially for my darling Chinese paper, which quality was so disappointing that I can't do well in it.

Okay lets just put it this way, my grades in school are usually not bad. In fact it is pretty satisfying. I pride myself on having reasonable intellect and in one of the best schools in Singapore. So I started worrying a bit when my results for Chinese this time round was so horrible. True enough I put too much efforts into Cosfest prior to the exam, so I kind of expected it when my other subjects like math and science etc aren't as good as my block test 1 results. But the thing about Chinese is you can't actually revise for it. Reading doesn't even help in the slightest, except perhaps to polish compositions with some posh complicated words. But even so you can't use too much of them because who the hell actually use pretty language for news report----

Oh yes we write news report reviews for compositions.

Can you imagine how stupid that is? In every freaking single compositions we have to follow a rigid structure that vaguely resembles this:

1) 1 point on what you think (causes) of the issue
2) 3 points on why it should/shouldn't be this way
3) 3 suggestions.

Ugh if there is anything I hate more than not having tablets, its writing this kind of compositions. Let me declare this that I simply abhor Chinese compositions with pure passion. I mean, writing once or twice a term is decent for me. But 8 out of 10 assigned homework is those kind of review nonsense. I get so disgusted after 4 years of writing it that now merely the thought of it encouraged my stomach to empty itself.

Like literally.

And the topics are rubbish too

Qns: A male PE teacher commented on his female student's Facebook, stating that she is "pretty" and "cute". As he has past history of looking at bikini girls, this led to suspicion rising among parents that he might have inappropriate intentions. What is your views on this issue."

Want to know about my views? Sack him and gtfover with this pointless issue.
I swear they are training us all into editors for those scandalous newspaper that report daily on which official is having sex with who or which husband slapped his wife.

I would rather write 10 expository essays in English. At least they give more decent topics like "Discuss about whether risk-taking should be encouraged.".  I don't mind those. They are more intellectual, it prompt us to think legibly and are also quite fun to write. So since I actually had fun during English essay exams, whatever I scored due to my horrible grammar doesn't matter that much.

But oh god I hate hate hate writing the Chinese ones. I used to love Chinese and love writing those descriptive compositions, I still do. Those that ask you to describe a scenery like your favorite place in the school/ a rainy night. That is what you read books for.Those aren't childish questions. We thought the as childish only as we don't write those sort of questions anymore the older we get. Why?  Because oh no no no you guys are going to grow up and grown ups must face the real world and there is no place for you to express your own personal thoughts that is stupid and childish so go write some news report reviews instead. 

Some argued that authors like LuXun and Zhu ZiQing (fyi they are really good writers.) don't simply write descriptive compositions. Their works reflects society's problems and stuff. So we have to train you to write reviews so your works in future will be worth something.

But I am pretty sure that those great masters don't become great by writing about scandals and teachers commenting on Facebook.

The worse part is that we have to squeeze out 3 suggestions on how to improve the matter when there is obviously nothing decent to suggest. Maybe put a history browsing tracker on every teachers' computer would work.

Huh.

And thus let me conclude with this gif on my current mood.

#erm replace the laptop with my test papers yep.
