Ignore this entry.. Please!!
Basically today is quite an eventless day. I think the day was so eventless that I think I will bitch about the torturous odyssey I experienced in Popular. Went for tuition before shopping for students' assessment books. Now I know what the word "ass" in assessment books is for. It refers to how much they are a pain in the ass for the buyers. There is a plethora of ass books on the shelves, out of which more than half of them are better off being sacrificed in the Holocaust instead of the thousands of innocent lives. Freaking irritating how writers can title their books "Excel In English" when the student will probably fail after doing it.
The enormous font in many of these books makes me wonder if they even need 50 pages. Some of the books seem to have more pictures than words. I understand that Primary 3 kids get turned off easily and the pictures are meant to spur interest, but some overdid it. Furthermore, certain books do not adhere to the examination syllabus. And numerous examples show me that the writers underestimate a Primary 3 student's English. A couple tried incorporating thinking skills into English. I laud their creative endeavour.
Perhaps I am just expecting too much from the writers and my students. However I believe that as ex-teachers, these writers should not be out of my league. Im just a fucking A level student, and if I can raise so many brickbats against these ass books, then what more will the intelligentsia add?
I do not mean to sound critical but I really felt like vomitting blood after browsing through for the best material. Eventually I found only two, out of say 30 ass bks!!! Luckily I aimed to buy only two. At least I was not disappointed, even though I think my life span got reduced after the detriment.
To the readers who endured this entry despite my warning, I think you have seen what a fusspot I can be. Just one of the many facets in the piggish me. Don't be alarmed!!
Its only once in a very blue moon that I get so "critically fussy". I just needed an avenue to spam and I so happened to be extremely lazy with the pen. At least my journal need not suffer this piece of literary hell.

Haha.. oh man, that is the typical Simon I know. Oops. =X just kidding. I meant to say atypical. Though you don't bitch much in real life(at least in front of me), it's interesting to see the lamentations you put across. Nice one man. It's ok la, come on, it's your blog space. I think you can bitch as much as you like. Don't worry, I do that sometimes too.
Hey but take a chill pill after all that ok? HAHAHAHAHA. XD
