Haiz...you know what? Today is the most pointless day of the year. I've gone to cheng beng. I know cheng beng is an important religious or racious activity that we must do. I agree that we must go to the grave of our ancestors and pray as a respect of the deceased elders, BUT do we have the need to burn this and that? I saw my aunt buying a few boxes of paper stuffs and a few bags of the so-called golden paper (I'm not sure what it is called in english tough). Are those really necessary?? Can they really receive the things after we burn it? Are you sure it is useful in the afterlife?
It's not only about the paper-burning, we were all made to drink the chinese holy-water (Fu Shui). It's just a drink mixed with a burned paper with the religious writings. Why are we supposed to drink the paper water? Somemore the paper is written by some unknown ink, are those ink good for health?
I am not here to scold about any religion, but as a person without any specific religion, I believes more in science and technology rather than religion's pathway. It's true that religion leads people out of misery, decreased the crime rate by a big amount, BUT...yes BUT, aren't we supposed to think logically instead of follow the what the elders do? Religion teaches us to be good, but we can also be good without the need to have a religion. With that, we will have more free time to do good things (although I use most of the time on computer).
Haizz...if I ever want to blame all this on one person, it would be the person who creates the trend to do all these things. I don't know who he/she is, but the current me would not like to blame on anyone. I believe in god, but I don't believe in any of the religion.

Co-curricular Bastard Activities
I have a few days more to prepare before it's my turn to go for interview for the holy JPA scholarship. I've been waiting, expecting, hoping, and jumping up and down to get the scholarship. It can be said as the only way for me to go overseas without having to study in form 6. Although I don't deny that form 6 is good for a person who is willing to study and have a big chance to get cgpa 4.0, but I am sad to say that IF....it's only IF, but IF I really needs to study in form 6, this is gonna be my hard time to solve my co-curricular activities problem. You see, I'm going to stay in the same school as I was in form 5 or any previous years, this means that I need to participate in all those boring, increative, pointless activities that all the clubs and societies made. Because of this, I got a C for my co-curriculum grade. Somehow they are thinking that those activities are good as they have been making those activities every year since the year the club has established. But people...LOOK...they have been making those so-called 'games' every year because of the same thinking!! If it was stopped for a short 1 year, this tradition will be ended. In my opinion, I really do think that the 'games' was held just to fill in the yearly activity column for the reports. It is just a thing to proof that they are actually making some sort of activities and are active!!
I am not here to scold or look down on anyone or any society or club, but I really have the need to ask all of you to do me a favour. LOOK OUT OF THE BOX!!! Don't square yourself into a small frame of activities, use your imaginations, there are plenty of activities that can be made, much more fun games to be played. If your creativity is so bad, get someone else who can think to be the leader of activities. The committee members are not just for the names, but for their skills. Some committee members of the clubs find that it is easier to follow their predecessor and do nothing big for their own. None of them actually wants to take on the responsibility to make their year of leadership the golden times of the club.
As many of my friends know, I've been in a uniform unit as the vice president. The president of the unit is too full of herself. I do not wish to tell who she is, but there are times where I cannot accept her doings. It's like a 1-man-rule unit. I do not like this to happen, but there's no chance of stopping it as the teacher-in-charge is supporting her ways all the times. This can be compared to the politics. If the prime minister is supported by the YDPA, the chance for the other minister to pull him down is negligible, isn't it? I do not wish to talk about politics here.
I object this situation to continue. Although I cannot afford to let my co-curriculum grade to drop to C again, but I will stand up against the leader and try to against the one-man-rule system. I do not mean that I will be a better leader than they are, but I do have a better point of view which I would like to share among all of them. If they really can come up with some creative activity, I am 100% positive that it will attract more members to participate, and thus rises the fame of the club.
