After the hurricane ends...

The hurricane has ended. Admittedly, it wasn't quite as bad as Hurricane Katrina, but, honestly, what is? (Besides the Tsunami). It was a trying time for many among us. There were flying papers everywhere, and fear was a common thing that prevailed within these hearts. What hurricane was this? It wasn't big enough to be on the news for sure, but then it was still big. I dub it the 'Hurricane First-Mid-Term-Exams'.
It seemed to come and bear upon me like a rough wind would an insignificant kite, so sudden and forceful, that I was almost thrown off my course of calmness. Almost. It was one week of intense studying, and I can tell you honestly that I kept my nose to the large grindstone and rubbed it raw. Okay, I sort of fell asleep at some points and drooled but so what? I bet lots of people do that. (Scratch the part where I admit to drooling mentally, please).

And after going through all that, I am glad to say that I have not turned insane as is the obvious risk. Ah, there joy of learning! Like so:

...CAN DRIVE YOU INSANE WITH HAPPINESS...

Throughout the past week, I offered up all my exams to Daddy-God, and was constantly praying for his help in doing well, and coincidentally, I chanced upon this cartoon on the net just now. It just clicked with me somehow.

All those who have discovered Psalm 118:25, raise your hands. Yeah, join the club.

Well, all in all, I think I did OK.

English, Bio., Chem., Phys., B.M., Moral - darn the government that plays with the rules of true morality, bending them beyond recognition, then saying that this meatloaf of a subject is actually good for us! If it's so good in helping our public morality, why are the crime rates still so high? I mean, this subject has existed for quite a number of years now, and most crimes nowadays (petty crimes are ALSO crimes no matter what you say), are still being commited by those in their twenties. And you can't say that they have no moral backbones because those backbones are all the heavy and useless and frustratingly repetitive and (did I mention) useless Moral textbooks you threw at us, Thank You Very Much! - Maths., and Sejarah were alright I guess.

Add. Maths. on the other hand... ha ha... I am laughing mirthlessly like a hermit crab torn of its shell. Do you know that people are calling the subject Additional Madness? Yes. Yet, some people at over at St. Teresa's still managed to score 98% for it! That is way freaky! Yes, freakiness in all it's splendour! Most of us are, I believe, already suffering damages caused by the subject. Enter our world-->

Yes, so if we don't do something about it now, the country will have leaders with imploded brains.

But seriously, why do we have so many exams in the first place? Let me summarise my whole point into one simple cartoon.

Yes, the awful truth.
