5 languages

Language

Language is a word represents for the system of conventional spoken or written symbols used by people in a shared culture to communicate with each other. In short, a verbal communication. There is a lot of languages for just a country. Just thought about a hundred or even two, how much language will be there? One World, A Lot of Languages.By saying a lot, i mean thousands of it. It's a normal thing for those to speak two languages fluently. If the bilinguals are only norms, then three languages speakers supposed to be above average. I'm saying that bilingual is easy to achieve. one language is native and the other one is English. Didn't the world using English right now, in this era of globalization? I mean, the people of the world. So, mastering it is a must, obligatory, compulsory and thing that associated with it. Trilingual is no where near the bilingual. Another language will be hard to learn after you perfected two. If three is hard yet above average, how will one to master five languages, at the same time?

This is the story of a boy who is lazy. No, saying lazy is understatement. He is SUPER LAZY. Gosh, in this world, lazy is intolerable. By being lazy, you're being a failure. There is no place for the failure. Even smart guy is unneeded in this cruel word. But, geniuses are. What bothering me is that he has the tendency to learn everything new. Not like i hate those who are like this, but what really bothering me is he want to learn everything new that he's interested. If not, then he being the lazy-ass . And here, one thing that is impossible for him, i dunno what he thought, but others surely agreed with me. He wanted to learn 5 languages at the same time, albeit it's only convenient.

Five languages, Malays, Arabic, English, Japanese and Mandarin. Does he know that experting in three is already damn hard, which is Malays, Arabic and English. One is the native while the others are elective. Despite the difficulties, he is adamant on it. But, instead of working to master the languages, he simply entertains himself by reading manga and watching anime. Seemingly, he's an otaku. Not only the manga, he even squanders his time by reading the fiction novels. What is he? Someone who has a looooot of time? Doesn't he has homework or assignment to do?
So carefree about the world. He already thought about the repercussion of his actions, doesn't he?

Anyway, if he's an otaku, a lazy-ass bum, a reckless student, and everything that related to the negative side, then why he's got the second place in his class? When did he study or revise? I heard that he's not reading the text book when the examination was around the corner. sigh. I hope that he would make it through the globalized world yet cruel.

to my chagrin, that boy is me.
note to me:
Dear me, please change yourself before it's too late.
There is no use crying over spoil milk.
Yourself, ME.

A bit of me

Name : Eishun (not the real name)

Age : 87 (not the real age either)

Location : Tuvalu (not the real place where i live)

Hometown : Mother earth, of course.

Zodiac : Sagitarius (Biogenically, i'm a gemini)

Occupation : This information is just for Eye-Only.

Hobbies :I have a lot of hobbies. But none of it were your concern.

Favorite books : If i'm a lecher , my answer would probably be Icha-Icha Paradise or even Make-out Tactics. But, again, i'm not Jiraiya or Kakashi. I'm me and not others. Regarding to the fav books, sorry , since i have a lot fav books, i would not tell you even single of them. None will be shared., thank you very much. :P !

Schools :I really dont feel like promoting my school, for now.

Company : again, eye-only.

About me : Conceivably, the description about me, isnt really fundamental for ur knowledge. There is no absolute in knowledge, but this one, i need to tell aptly to everyone. Seriously, does writing everything! about yourself is an obligation in friendster? a compulsory? is it really a must? if not, then i opt to not write mine. So, for those who want to know who i am, ask me instead of waiting for me to tell everyone my profile whether specifically or not. In short, i'm very protective over my personal details, in fact, i love being a low profiler. So, if u dont like it, be it. I would neglect every opinion casted on me. And i absolutely dont care ur opinion on my opinion.

Who i want to meet : Well, actually, the truth is that i do not want to see anyone. I like being alone. Me , computer and the resourceful yet dangerous internet. It's indeed sufficient by only that. On the second thought, it may inadequate in this world of globalization. If so then, i actually dont care who you are. Everyone will be accepted. Be it a nerd, a genius, a stoic, a megane, even the president or prime minister. I just dont want to see certain people namely usa , israel president and those who relate to them. Seriously, if they do appear in front of me, whether i will make history or i will become history.

Truancy

Truancy.
Truancy is usually defined as an intentional unauthorized absence from compulsory schooling.A bit of that, it also define as a status offense – an act that is a crime due to the young age of the actor,-but would be legal for someone older~.

For me, and even the others the truancy stem from three realms: school, family and community and personal psychological characteristic.

First,School.
1.Lack of effective and consistently applied attendance policies.
2.Poor record-keeping, making truancy difficult to spot.
3.Push-out policies, for example, suspension as a punishment for truancy.
4.Parents/guardians not notified of absences.
5.Teacher characteristics, such as lack of respect for students and neglect of diverse student needs.
6.Unwelcoming atmosphere, for example, an unattractive facility or one with chronic maintenance problems.
7.Unsafe environment, for example, a school with ineffective discipline policies where bullying is tolerated.
8.Inadequate identification of special education needs, leading some students to feel overwhelmed and frustrated with their inability to succeed.

Second and third,Family and Community
1.Family health or financial concerns that pressure the student to care for family members or work during school hours.
2.Child is a victim of abuse or neglect.
3.Pressures arising from teen pregnancy or parenting.
4.Safety issues such as violence near home or between home and school.
5.Parental alcoholism or drug abuse.
6.Negative role models, such as peers who are truant or delinquent.
7.Parents/guardians who do not value education and are complicit in student’s absences
8.Personal Psychological Characteristic
9.Poor academic performance, sometimes due to special education needs, and a resulting lack of self-esteem.
10.Unmet mental health needs.
11.Alcohol and drug use and abuse.
12.Lack of vision of education as a means to achieve goals.

What are the negative impacts of truancy?
To Truants.
1.Antisocial behavior
2.Boredom and disaffection
3.Escaping daily bullying.

Even to the government.
1.High school dropouts claim more in government-funded social services expenditures than high school graduates.
2.Resulting in a critical amount of unemployed people.
3.Parent and local low involvement

So, how do we countermeasure it?
1.Students face sanctions for truancy
2.Establish prevention programs
3.Incentives creation.
4.Parent/guardian involvement or whole family involvement.
5.A continuum of supports, including meaningful incentives for good attendance and consequences for poor attendance.
6.Collaboration among community actors such as law enforcement, mental health workers, mentors, and social service providers, in addition to educators.
7.Concrete and measurable goals for program performance and student performance. Good record keeping and on-going evaluation of progress toward those goals

Is this will happen if bully didnt be tolerated properly?
Yes, because schools fail to deal with bullying thus making the victims frightened to attend to school.

How do the parents play the role?
1.Support the student
2.Help the school to put things right.
3.Encourage the student to attend school.
4.Educate them about the negative impact of truancy.

Huhu! done. It's not that i did this without a purpose. Yes, there is a purpose. I'm just filling my time as a truant~

till the next time.

NOVEL?

i tried and tried but then, i forgot one thing, i forgot to write and type all of it. Now, it's gone.

Na'ah! here try my first incomplete one-shot novel ever.


’s POV


It was a sunny day yet an awkward one. But, it’s not for the weather. I’ll skip the weather part. Now, where was I? Owhkay, the ‘everything went right’. Yeah, lil bro was playing around with my lil sis, big bro was using the computer, father is away sending the car to the service center, mother was packing a bag, wait a minute, dad was sending the car to service center? Okay, maybe the car had a problem or so. Mom was packing a bag? Hmm, this doesn’t look right. Maybe, I’ll get an explanation if I ask dad when he returns home.

Sound of a car got into my ears. Just in time. I was a few feet away when I accidentally eavesdropping on what dad told big bro. Shock, happy, unspeakable, and everything related to it. NO! It still will be an understatement. I carefully checked the word that I managed to caught: ‘Holiday, resort, tomorrow, 3 days’. It would not take a genius to complete the puzzle. I slowly decipher it, ‘On this holiday, we will spend our precious time on a resort. We will go tomorrow and back in 3 days afterward. I just mentally screamed YAY!

General POV


8 am. A Toyota Unser was slowly leaving a compound of a house. Its silver in coloring made a light of the sun ray reflected to the surround it. Absence of a ‘P’ sign in the front and the back shows that the driver is already mastered the art of driving. Six people were in the car. Two is at the front and two is at the middle while the last two is at the back.

The car strode proudly from the street through the highway. The car then blends with the other cars consequently making it hard to notice and follow the car. The car moved at 80 – 100 km per hour. It look likes it want to arrive at the destination desperately.

Course. Course. Course. Third time the charm?

Courses. Courses. Courses. Third time the charm?

Course. Course. AH! Damn course. what's so special about them? I mean, it's money consuming, time wasting, and body-quality deteriorating, albeit knowledge gaining. I have had a course, a grading and two tournaments. And none of it, profitable. gah!

At the other end of spectrum, i was asked whether i will go for the next course or not. and my answer is an inevitable NO! No, Never, Cant, Shan't, Wouldn't and mustn't ... did i mentioned NO!?
Why? came the reply. Why you ask? because i've sustained loss more than gained profit. That's why.

in the other hand, my teacher was pleading, begging, appealing, -every word that meant ask desperately, for me to go to another tournament. Not an iota, my friends too!.. of course i had to asnwer, aptly, no. My excuses? easy- i had been berated by my parents (read:my mom) just by saying the word of the tournament,courtesy of PMR is near the corner.By saying near the corner, i mean half a year later.The reply for the aforementioned question, is never. So, this excuse is nothing but acceptable. My teacher seemed speechless and soundless, save for the grunting and snorting. Snort? hmm, never mind.

I do want to go, but I was held by a situation that I can barely comprehend. Well, the excuse was still an excuse after all of the nicknames, masks, and everything else that human can name or even put it. I was really aghast, no matter how much I explained the importances of it, all of it were denied ungracefully, telling that I need all the time that I can for the PMR exam. 2 weeks of holiday at home with books. Oh joy!
