but Daniel is bored stiff.

yesiknowihaveapapertmrandishouldbefreakingstudying.

oh aight i guess i should mention this. Sunday Times had this article about how our education ministry is looking into measures to teach Chinese through English. I know it's all proclaiming the benefits of how Chinese is going to be made easier to learn and oh my, kids are gonna lovvveee chinese and all.. but doesnt it sound remarkably similar to how the Chinese over at China are teaching their students English?

the result?

Grammatically flawless English ( trust me, i know. ), but whole sentences never ranging beyond textbook structures of Subject, Verbs and Nouns.

at least, for the majority of them.

I'm not a fan of the chinese language or anything, but i just find the idea of warping the system to that of a 3rd language teaching system way (that's how i was taught malay in sec sch, in english) kind of damaging to the whole language thing yeah?

will it really work?

ah well.

anyhow, shall try to get my ass going to do up some mcqs in prep for the paper tmr.

My. Last. Freaking. Paper :D

move, Daniel, move!!!!
