where is the history in that

part of the reason i hate history subject in high school is memorization. it is just like reading the textbook over and over again just to remember the dates, the events and the well known figures of few centuries ago.

there comes alexander the great. wait, what did he do back then? i THINK he is the one who successfully took over malacca in 1511. eyyy, betul ke tak ni? i am actually not sure but this number seems very nice isn't it? good for those ah pek and auntie who like to buy toto and 4-d. i am very frustrated in school because i have to compete with the rest of the student population for memory skills. it is just plain ridiculous.

i can accept defeat when one explains and argues a theory particularly well. *bow* but i just refused to accept that i defeat for my brain power is lacking. and there comes those geniuses who are smart and perfect memory. sometimes even can remember the pages the facts were written. don't bother. what's the fun in it? actually, no fun and no play. you just suck it up and memorise. i often wonder how i could get an A for that subject at all. my bro and sis love history, to my dismay. i am the only sibling who despises history until now. they said, "history is like storybook. just read and read and you will remember," ohhh really? why should i remember some religious leaders' name and actions? and they took about 5 chapters long just to discuss religious stuff.

In fact, i think the history subject is often bias. i have definitely lost count of the times i have to remember this person is mulia, berbudi pekerti and terpuji. what is this? har har... you think this is moral lesson? when you use words that describe good or bad, you are instilling your point of view into the facts. the only correct thing to be said are FACTS AND FACTS ALONE such as actions, names, years. because all of them can be agreed by everyone. one's action can be bad from one perspective and bad from another. isn't that basic? perhaps, i am a better candidate to reform the history textbook.

so shocking that when i heard i was about to study new history textbooks which contain more religious stuff. sad for the fact that i lost touch with the world but being marginalised to a certain segment of the world. and worst of all, not really interesting. if you want to glorify your own interest, try creating a new subject for it and make it VOLUNTARILY. it will truly shows one's interest. Forcing the rest of the population to agree with you is similar to praising the person who is pointing the gun at him. =_________= there you go, LAME. stop doing lame stuff. at least, stop doing things that will make a fool of yourself. if you can't think properly, nobody is going to blame you for not doing anything. at least step aside and let the people who know to do it. i rest my case. weird isn't it. this textbook scenario is somehow a representative of the current state of our beloved boleh land.

tak tahu buat tapi mati mati mahu buat dan mengaku tindakan tersebut adalah mulia. yes, mulia. saya lagi mulia for telling you this. what i said is FACT.
