when your concern doesn't concerns me

it's true when they say language shows what is us...how u talk,is how u project ur attitude towards other people...and i think its true to the extend that the language u use shows who u are...for instance,malay speaks malay...chinese speaks chinese,indian speaks indian...indonesian speaks indonesian...oh wait..why no malaysian? because they are no Malaysia...only chinese,indian and malay...i respect Tun Dr M's idea of having a Malaysian only....but well,all the races in Malaysia seems not in the same boat with him....when education is still separated, language is still a barrier there'll be slim chances of having a united one race only country...im not trying to be a racist here,but with all the non malays asking to have the same rights as the malay,i think that will be done only when we has the same chances of working in a computer shop where the ads doesn't say chinese are preferred or the ads are in mandarin all the way...
anyway,the topic of the day,or may i say what pisses me off today...is how the race thingy still a thick thing among us...just about an hour or two just now,my class had this voting for whether my batch are going to extend the holiday for this year's hari Raya or not...well,for a clearer picture,both my class reps are chinese...nvm that,i don't mind having a black,white,orange,green,yellow or anything to be at the helm as long as they do their work and care for the people under them..anyway,my class reps went to the Dean and ask him for the extension and the dean gave us 3 options,or so they said...

1) 1 week extension(its 4 days only actually)
2) 2 days extension
3) no extension

well..before we could cast our votes,the female class rep reads out all the advantages and disadvantages of our extension...and being a neutral,or so she said,she happily announce all the things which may be the consequences of our extension...if we take the 4 days extension, we are required to have classes on Saturday,our study break for unis will be cut down,our end of second year vacation will be cutdown and the Saturday class may last for a month or two......and for the 2 days extension,we might need Saturday class for 2 weeks....OK.......

do the math..easy math first...
2 days extension=Saturday class for 2 weeks
4 days extension=cut down study break for unis,cut down end of second year vacation,Saturday
class till a month or two....

is it coherent???
and i thought 2x2=4......not 4 weeks Saturday class?

ok,maybe a month or two Saturday classes to make up for the PBL,SDL and lab times...but cut down our holiday and the study break? i think its full of B***S***......
u see,3rd block is 10 weeks....4th block is 6 weeks...its 16 weeks...its 4 month...its 16 Saturday....do we need more then 16 days to cover back the 4 days we missed????????

hmm...anyway,the result is 29 for 1 week,53 for 2 days and 48 for no extension...130 students voted..138 students total for my batch...

77 malays
61 non malays

82 vote for holiday
48 for no holiday
8 dont vote including the class reps who are supposedly neutral

maybe there are people out there who cares and vote for our cause...but the way the reps and some of them react towards the cause irks me....

i think the results speaks for itself isn't it....if its not my holiday,why should i care?
