I think everyone is rather much aware that results will be out tomorrow, both for A-Levels and SPM. So good luck for tomorrow. Though I don't even know why I'm wishing good luck; it's not like praying super hard or hoping so much would magically cause one's marks to change now. It might cause one's papers to be mixed up with some other person's though.

Musings

Since this blog here has been lying dormant for quite a while, I decided that I should do something about it. Like post up something. So here I am.

I was just looking back on some of the older posts, and I came across this.

Begin quote:
"In MCKL (when I was there):

* Everyone knew everyone.
* Birthdays were celebrated by everyone.
* Teachers are our friends. They eat and play sports with us.
* We have a clean toilet. Phew!
* Parking is free =)
* We have our own building, a basketball court and a field.
* Classes are air conditioned. "
Quote ends =)

Here's my take on the above.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that everyone knew everyone, but maybe he was just implying that recognising someone's face around college constitutes knowing someone. That would simply be an over exaggeration on the writer's part. Likewise for the second statement. But maybe I'm just taking his words way too literally. But I can see where he's coming from. I may have qualms over his statements being overly general; I know I can get rather particular over things like this and insist on not making sweeping statements; but all in all this place is quite an interesting place, and I have no regrets about choosing this place. It might have it's bad side, but certainly it has plenty of good as well. But then again, so does every educational institution. I guess it's really relative to each person.

The third statement is also really subjective as well; I shall not elaborate.

And finally, the fourth statement is really one of the reasons why I decided to comment on a previous posting. Fine, the toilets are cleaned everyday, but has anyone ever seen the upstairs guys' urinal overflowing? And believe me, it does that a lot. It's a rather disgusting sight, though the institution might not have anything to do with it; you could blame those who throw tissue paper into the urinals. But then again, maybe the plumbing's faulty and there are plenty of stuck pipes everywhere. Who knows?

And yes, parking is free no more. Last year it was 10, now it's 240. But we must be understanding, there's construction going on and a complete lack of space. Though it can get a bit noisy sometimes. Reminds me of the times when I was in WMS and the place was noisy everyday no thanks to the construction. I seem cursed to go to places that suddenly decide that they want to expand or something.

Last two statements are facts, there is not much to say there. So speak not I shall.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to criticise the college, neither am I trying to dispute what one of the previous author was trying to say. I enjoy college, and I have nothing against that guy as well. It's just that I had completely no idea of what to post here, and that particular post presented the most workable inspiration to me. And I felt like I had to post something up; this blog has been dormant for too long. In other words, a post just for the sake of posting.

And yes, any comments are welcome. Preferrably of the constructive sort. And that's all I have.
