I thought that after Pendidikan Moral and Pengajian Am in secondary school that the government would stop forcing its students to study perfectly useless subjects. (even if it isn't useless, the way the syllabus is fashioned by whoever numbnuts that are involved within the ministry makes it useless.)
Then entering university I discovered I had to learn Tamadun Islam and Hubungan Etnik.
I personally don't really care about what a bunch of people did billions of years ago regardless of what basis you categorise them, whether by religion or otherwise. And even if I were to care about it, I do not see any benefit it will bring any of us.
If these courses are meant to bring about racial harmony, I simply salute the idiocy of the people sitting in the MOHE for thinking a few lectures given by an imbecile with fleas in his beard who throws pencils at you from the stage will improve racial harmony whatsoever.
After I was done with that in first year, I thought it was finally over. I thought that, finally, no more courses seething with the dripping scum of uselessness will ooze over my path.
Then I was forced to take "Managing Your Emotions".
The course involved some guy from Bangi blabbing random theories about emotion to us. I'm not even going to bring up the fact that he failed to show up for about 3 classes and didn't even tell us beforehand. But aside from the fact that they assign completely and utterly incompetent lecturers to teach these equally lackluster subjects (which takes a way even more incentive for us to give a shit) the syllabus they prepare doesnt achieve their objective at the end of the day.
Example:
Primary Emotions - The Pros and Cons
Pros
Nervous system and neural structure capable of mediating few emotions.
(I have no idea why this is a pro. There's nothing evidently pro-ish about this statement. It's just a neutral statement that doesn't make me like primary emotions more or think it's very useful)
Cons
No such thing as "primary emotion"
This is when you hear "Kua Kua Kua" playing in the background with a broken wind instrument.
Why are you telling me about something that doesnt exist???
A question from the exam
Apakah emosi di atas?
A. bimbang
B. gembira
C. takut
D. dulan
But then again if since "constipated" is propagated by the nervous system it is a primary emotion and there's no such thing anyway so who cares.

If they teach me about the theory of time and space I would be half interested. Then again these people are idiots so they will probably ask me to write down what I do each day every 15 minutes in some diary thing.
Inilah varsiti kita.
