So.

School's begun.

For 'bout a week now.

And I haven't been sent to the discipline master's office.

Yet.

=D

Aaaaaanyways, I discovered something interesting...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:

The Dumbing Down Of English Literature In Malaysia.

What secondary students studied in...

The 1970s:

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

The 1980s:

Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare.

The 1990s:

Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne.

The 2000s:

The Prisoner Of Zenda (Young Reader's Edition) by Anthony Hope Hawkins.

2010:

Black Beauty (Graphic Novel) by Anna Sewell.

A Graphic Novel.

Can you believe it?

This is the 'literature' the Form Ones are studying now:

Oh, yeah, our country has SUCH a bright future ahead of us.

Eh, show you something:

Original eye.

Contact lens-ed eye.

I'm gonna go become a vegetarian vampire now.

XD

I didn't get that colour on purpose, okay?

(The vampires' eyes are brighter gold, anyway)

It's supposed to be BROWN colour.

Ugghh~

Malaysian-made product.

Damn uncomfortable one lor!

Expensive some more...

Gonna live on Korean lenses from now on.
