And now.. entering the World of Horror.. so sit tight and buckle up!
Living nightmare, sec 4 is. Its the year of remedials, supplementery classes, high expectations, writing writing and writing, studying till our brains pop, tuition classes, CCA's, grades etc etc, you name it. Being, living the day to day life of any average student is like trying to drink water from a fire hose- the pressure, you know. Its excruciating, terrifying, horrifying, petrifying... Everything's shoved up your nose in one go- the teachers expect you, to CHANGE YOUR WRITING STYLE from our standard to a standard that's higher than the clouds, higher than the moon, higher than the stars. And the teachers become more strict, more fierce, more demanding... Its no wonder people commit suicide from stress.
Iam no genius either. We all learn sooner or later that we should just suck it up and move on. Thing is, we're not moving ANYWHERE. Its like running on a treadmill, forever trying to go forward, but being constantly pulled back by a force that overpowers you.
Running in this race, its all about I overtake you, you overtake me, I-trip-you-up-so-that-i-can-go-1st, what's wrong with the world?! Has everything become so competitive? Where were the day where people could just lie on a deckchair and watch the world go by?
