THE GAME OF LIFE!
Some people say that LIFE is a game: some win, some lose; there's the starting point, the high point, and the point where it all gets boring towards the end; some like the game, where others just suck at it; some are righteous, while some are cheats; and no matter the amount of cheatsheet or help you get, in the end, you either get punished or you begin to drown yourself and you do not feel the satisfaction when you win. But comes to think about it, games are supposed to be fun, keeps you away from all that stress; they are supposed to me an activity of which you enjoy, of which you voluntarily (or maybe sometimes involuntarily) chose to take part in.
Well, just now, I chose to take part in a game called.. THE GAME OF LIFE!! And sadly, I lost to this girl called NURUL SU'AIDAH (who kept on landing on the "Trade Salary Card with Any Other Player" parts and got my 90,000 dollars salary and I had to go through the game with HER 20,000 dollars salary) by 90,000 dollars because she was cruel and traded her salary card with mine. The game's like Monopoly, only this is better. You don't go round in endless circles (or squares) and don't end up in prison. And you don't have to pass "Go" to get $200. You can like pass your "Pay Day" and get your pay.
If I am ever to teach, I shall not teach primary school maths, not because I suck at math, but because they ask students questions like this:
A mechanical pencil costs $8. A pen costs 25% more than a mechanical pencil. Jason spent $210 on some mechanical pencils and pens. If 80% of what he bought were mechanical pencils, how many more mechanical pencils did he buy than pens?
or
The ratio of the number of apples and pears in a fruitstall is 5:8. If 60% of the pears are sold, what percentage of apples must be sold in order for the number of apples and pears to be equal?
LIKE WHAT IN THE BLOODY WORLD OF GANJA ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO KIDS THESE DAYS?? I pity my sister, alot.
Thank goodness I won't have to deal with math (unless aided with a calculator) for the rest of my life. If I have to, I'll go hire an accountant or some sort or secretary or something.
