Aftermath
Many meetings and phonecalls later, and the scurrying of frantic feet trying to photocopy as many copies of The Star papers as possible. Suddenly, we're thrown into the limelight!
A few months ago when the UPSR case struck the papers, we were thinking, free publicity for Pearson, it's going to do them good.
Then suddenly we've been elevated to that level. Ah well… in Malaysia, anything can happen. You have longest roti canais, a medical doctor as a prominent ex-prime minister, you have students getting ridiculously good results (I still think 16 As is absurd). NOW YOU HAVE SMART GENIUSES in the ministry panels, who create fantastic, 'world-class' exam papers…
Gaaahhh…
Nothing surprises me anymore. This world is screwed up anyway. There'll be screwed up people, and screwed up people.
Oh… can you make any sense of this?
'When the tender years go away….we can't be jumping on our toes then! That's why we must start now. The tender is like jam… but we still have to take care of our bread and butter. And on timeliness… we cannot come up with breakfast and try to get people to buy it when they want to eat lunch!!'
The people I work for love their food very much, obviously.

You know, it’s a good thing. First, the publisity. Second, when others make themselves look like idiots, you look smarter.
