I've been having days and weeks that seem caught in the liminal space between the living and the dead. I ooze through the day like a walking zombie, and sleep from 5pm like a corpse till 9pm, wake for dinner, sleep again. Blehh. I think the Curse of the Killer Aedes Mosquito might have come into effect. Hmm. But nevermind, if I ever get hospitalised because of dengue fever, it's not contagious over the internet.

My current fave game, show jumping, cuz it's 3D and it's challenging enough, a far cry from Rakion though, but since I've sworn off Rakion, well, it'll have to do. Seriously. The amount of material one has to have in one's head for the A's is just ridiculous. Not like we'd ever need the stuff again. But again, if they decided that one's personal all-rounded development is more important and they decide to abolish tests but grade all our interpersonal relationships and skills, wouldn't the failures be total abjects and outcasts of society because it basically means they can't communicate with people?

What then is fair and reasonable to base a general grading on? We have to grade people, of course, like grade A eggs and corn eggs and first laid eggs, so that we can get the best people to fit their job descriptions. However unlike eggs, we are unable to get a society in which all the eggs are consumed, whether first laid or 100th laid. Someone is bound to be outcast. Is it that hard to let everyone have the chance to excel at what they are good at?

That raises further questions. What if the person does not make full use of the opportunity and let the chance slip by? How many chances must he be given in order to be 'fairly treated'? What if the person doesn't even know what he's good at?

What if the person's self-confidence and self worth has been trashed and broken in his childhood? Isn't he nothing when grown up, due to him being caught in his fear? Are little children being well taken care of now? If we continue to abuse children, what kind of society are we building up in the years to come? What are we perpetuating for generations to come? We were once children too. Don't rob the young ones of the childhood we longed for.
