Sometimes... Part 3





Sometimes, the mind asks too many questions. Why arent the Malays doing as well as the others? Why are we weaker in Maths and Science? Why do some Malays perform better than others? Where do the faults lie?

I have asked some of my peers these same questions, yet time and time again I still ask these same peers these same old questions. I ask in the hopes of obtaining a different reaction. I ask despite knowing the wrath I might incur. I know it can be irritating but I'm just stubborn. And I guess it's okay to incur the wrath of your peers knowing that they will forgive you some day some how. But if they don't, then you're probably living a cursed life and it's about time you realize you need to learn how not to behave with the next new close peers you make.

Or sometimes, the mind should just learn how to stop asking questions and just be like normal people and talk about normal things. Life will definitely be a lot simpler and easier that way. This is stupid.

Superheated Brothers



Yesterday was a long day. Upon reaching home, my brothers asked if I knew Thermodynamics - steam table, superheated vapour, saturated water and the likes. "Nope, I never learnt," I replied as I put my stuffs in my room.

Later I found out that they couldn't do any of the six questions and according to them, they've been at it for hours. They were about to call it a day but I told them to push on. And naturally, that would mean that I've got to push on with them.

I began by asking each of them to explain the meanings of certain terms and formulas. Their ability to explain to a newbie like me tells me that they do know their stuffs. I then put my awesome Googling ability to the test and stumbled upon worked examples.

We attempted all 6 questions in 3 hours. It was the first time in a long long time that I actually sat through their homework with them. It was also their first time doing school work till 1am. I believe that all kids need is someone to guide them when they're feeling helpless and lost. I hope that by helping them to understand those 6 questions without having any prior knowledge of the topic, it'll show them that school is not all that difficult. All they need is to try harder.

If only I practice what I preach.

I know..



"I know," she said as she gave him a look that made him wonder, "What does she mean by know?"
