kudos

a big hand of applause everybody. claps all round. bring your horns and a bottle of champagne. we are celebrating. to what, you may ask? our government, what else. which other organisation deserves as much praise as our dear ruling body? which other organisations can manage to exercise your body systems, get your blood pumping and your adrenalin running by merely uttering a few sentences? it's healthy exercise for your body, i tell you, and they make all this stupid legislation, and keep changing it, so that your body gets a good workout; fitness and lack of exercise being a real problem in our society, you know.

thanks to the government i now have to look for a new school for my children. with their greatly appreciated help, my children can now leave a familiar and stable environment and be placed in a fresh, foreign and frighteningly new educational condition. Ahhhh, all adjectives beginning with the letter 'f'. i can think of a couple more..but it's not very polite, so let's move on.

with vision 2020 around the corner, and no other vision to replace it, the government has come up with an ingenious plan to regress us for a few (hundred) years. the underlying rationale being that the further we are from our goal of a developed, intelligent society, the harder we can all work to achieve it. very clever, don't you think? maths and science will have to be taught in the native tongue once again, soon. but not soon enough. the rest of the citizens await with baited breath for this moment to arrive, for our kids to learn things that are not fresh-from-the-latest-top-bill-research but rather the more important studies-that-have-been-time-tested-through-translation,-censoreship-and-bureaucracy-into-our-native-tongue. ahhhh, how precious is the value of our language. we are useless in the international competitive world if we are not armed with knowledge of the words from our (rather, their) ancestors' mouth. we will look like fools when we are debating with our foreign counterparts if we have a strong command of the english language and speak to them in a tongue that everybody condones and understand. oui oui, like the french, insist on speaking your own language and close off the doors to the world. we don't need them.

the entire nation needs to be pulled back to match the snail crawling pace of the rural students. it is imperative. we cannot progress too fast or too much and leave those incapable ones behind. spend the time and effort instead to boost them so that they are able to catch up??!! gasp, banish those thoughts!!! how selfish and arrogant that would be. like running a race with disabled individuals, forget that you are running the 100m dash and slow down so that everybody can reach the finish line hand-in-hand, harmoniously. that is, if they reach the finish line.

so, a big kudos is due to our big-hearted government. for looking out for all the citizens and their future. for giving so much thought and electing morons intelligent people to head the relevant departments.

p/s: there is something wrong with the auto-correct software on the post. it keeps coming up with inappropriate words when i was trying to look for the correct description and the delete button is jammed, so you see all these cancelled words in the post which in no way reflects my opinion on the matter.
