Ridiculous piece of news in The Star and Malaysian Chronicle today. To those lazy students, how about actually learning the language and excelling at it?

Apparently this article is one of the most shared posts on Facebook among Americans last year. The write-up has them and other mothers in a furor. But guess what, the Chinese everywhere, even in Malaysia, are kicking our ass today.

I don't have kids myself, but this makes for an interesting and insightful reading.

Pain makes you hate.

Being unloved makes you hate.

Fester the rage, harbour it, people will finally see what a miserable wretch you are. They'll see your thin-skinned soul and your lonely heart. They'll pity your sad, desolate life.

And pity is what you only get.

But if you're lucky, they'll give you what you needed most: Love
