Free Topic (literally)

Literally.


#justiceforweimin

Welcome back to the middle of the week, folks.

"wait wait.... middle of the week? Nani?"

Since I didn't really prepare anything thorough this time, today we're going to actually talk about Free Topic.

"Weird... but go on."

Freedom. It's something that everyone wants, right? Be it from slavery, endless stress working or confinement. But, is too much freedom actually bad? Let's look at it from a point of view we all can share, especially to those doing blogs as ordered requested by Puan Monica, our English teacher.

Personally, I find free topics easy to do. It's fun sharing and discussing topics that aren't well known by others, such as the previously discussed Negativity Bias, or the history of the Princess of Paleontology, Mary Annings. It gives me and others who like to write a chance to flex their creative muscles, to introduce a topic to others, or to share their fantasies through story writing. The possibilities are endless.

Nevertheless, some of my friends groaned at the thought of free topics, and when I approached them about the matter, most of their reasons boiled down to they don't have anything to write, or don't know what to write about. The endless possibilities, used to be seen as an advantage is now a disadvantage to some. 

I don't really blame them, to be honest. Well, I can't. its 2k18 don't judge lol

Total freedom is a disaster waiting to happen. 
Let me give you an example. Let's say that we are the government, and we let the public to do whatever they want for one week.Not really a good idea. Crimes would run rampant, and due to that, the fabrics of society will be torn apart. Said government is no longer in power, and thus, the nation is destroyed, looted and pillaged by other nations.


 Give a child too much freedom, and they'll take you and everything else around them for granted. Just like everything else in life, we must have a clear balance of freedom. Knowing your limits is key. im making everything negative


This is very short, weird, isn't it?

See you in the weekend.

Cheers,
Chua.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Story starting with a sentence given by Pn Monica

L. ------ Ping.. My mobile phone lit up with a message from Pn. Monica.... It was a late Friday night, and after a long week people are surely tired and wanted to take a break. The message started a lot of distraught, since people wanted to take a break on a Saturday. "Please go to the library tomorrow. I have an important task for you." Sure enough, the request sparked a lot of questions in the group chat, varying from asking why do we have to go to school on a Saturday, or how important this task is, to mindless puns and jokes about said task. Following morning, we gathered in the library, chattering about what a hassle it is to get out of bed on a warm, cozy, Saturday morning. Just when the crowd began to get heated on discussing what they're going to do, Pn Monica emerges from her office, and carrying a thick book inscribed in an language that none of us has seen before. She place the thick book down on the table with a loud thump. "That's one h...
