me (sorta) FIRST BLOG!!!

By Alvin Soo
okay. i have no idea what to write in me blog...guess i'll just write stuff i see and experience in life :D

sigh, today was the first day back to school...it was sorta nice to see everyone again, but also quite depressing to lug our 1 ton-weighing school bags back to school and get back in the studying-mode. this year's a big year too..with da whole PMR examinations at the end which decides whether we're in science stream or commerce. but my english teacher, miss rani said something quite interesting and realistic. she had said that in like 10 years from now when we're workin, trying to make a living, manage our money and family...nobody's actually gonna ask u bout ur PMR results and give u a job or treat u much differently when u said u got straight A's or wtv.

i guess the world emphasizes too much on academic achievement and being a 'perfect' student, they just want to force you to become like them. i read on the news that a girl had actually hanged herself after not getting the results she expected for the UPSR exam. i mean, c'mon nobody really cares about that exam anyway and actually her parents didn't place a lot of pressure on her. i guess she felt stressed when comparing herself to the other students or maybe she was pressured by her teachers and their expectations. she was only 12 for goodness sake! she had her whole life before her and she wasted it by placing too much pressure on herself to achieve what the world wanted.

in the Bible, it had said it romans 12:2: DO NOT CONFORM TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. and that is exactly what we should do. the world always wants us to follow them. i once saw something impactful on 'House', the television series about medical life in a hospital. there was this boy who had a brain problem which caused him to hav no social understanding, which basically means he doesn't know how to interact properly with other individuals. for instance, he wouldn't know if someone was feeling sad or angry...and he couldn't learn things properly. the parents treated him differently because he wasn't normal and not like the other kids.

House, which was the name of the main doctor, had said to another doctor that the world is divided into basically two parts, an inner circle and an outer circle. the inner circe is like the main world, the 'normal' world where they can think properly, speak properly and act properly, apparently very, very proper. the outer circle however, are those who are unique, having disabilities or mental problems and they can't understand the pattern of this mixed up world. so the inner circle is much bigger and tries to force the outer circle into theirs by any means necessary because they think they're too different and too weird. if they fail to do so, they just ignore them or worse, insult them of the way they are.

now in the powerful Word of God again, it had said that everyone is designed uniquely and placed here in this world for a reason. some more unique than others. if you insult that uniqueness, u're directly insulting God because he created all of us. conclusively, we should NOT follow the pattern of this world who wants people to follow their disgusting sinful ways. they're always like, oh lets watch porn or let's go swear 'cause it's cool or when im extremely sad, i think i'll destroy my life with drugs cause it makes me feel good. don't listen to them. be transformed and do not conform to the pattern of this world because most of the time it lets u down and pummel you to the ground.

i feel so cool saying that :D
