This post is inspired by my zwan. In the library, we were chit chatting and complaining that why is it that always we are the experimental generation. Based on the Chinese Zodiac, we are the year of the Rabbit. For what we think, 1987 should be the year of the
white rat. Get it? White Lab Rats which scientist uses for their experiments. :P In this case, the scientist is our Education Board.
Exhibit A
If u guys perasan, Standard 3 Exam, PTS was it Penilaian T Something. Haha! X ingat la. The one that if you pass the PTS Exam you can skip Standard 4. It may seems like Standard 4 course study was not that important huh? Ey, rugi la korang x join kelas2 Darjah 4. Huhu...! It only lasts up till a few years, 4 years kot... Which means, oh that didn't work out. They make another conclusion that all students must go through Standard 4.
Exhibit B
It used to be 4 subjects in UPSR, Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah kan? Yeay us! Need to score only 4. Then datang us masuk darjah 6, ada 1 more (they just realized) subject yg important too. Sains! Oh man... Need to score 5As plak. Ayo... Lukily we 1987 generation broke the UPSR record that year. huhuhu! Hebat kan org2 lahir 1987 nih.
Exhibit C
If i remember it correctly, they didn't do any changes for PMR, Penilaian Menengah Rendah. But, they did started to introduce NEW Compulsory subject for us 1987. Anyone remember that subject?? The one subject that killed most of the Straight A1 students, EST! English in Science and Technology. Rosak sijil SPM babe. So kesian. But still we 1987 manage to get it thru! Still, we super super hebat kan? hehe!
Exhibit D
Eh, macam byk plak experiment this Education ppl buat kat org2 lahir taun 1987. Okay, this one works only for a few group of people. Course structure in UTP! Dunno for how many times during our study here that they made changes on this and that. And most mmg cannot stand one is this semester exam format. Woa! No more options, must answer ALL! Okay, for some people may seems a good thing, but for most of us that always targets on certain2 topic for the exam? Ayo... Super super ma fan. But for what its worth, we still manage to take up the challenge and hope for the best for our result this semester. Final semester! ;)
Despite all the challenges, we who born on 1987 mmg the best among the best la and manage to accomplish all the situations above. Yeay 1987! ;) Plus, zaman2 technology first introduce pun during our era kan? then zaman2 mainan tradional dimain at almost the end of our era. We get the best of both worlds! Hahaha! ;)
