So I got tagged for the first time in a century by KitsuneShinobou

Nickname:
When you're Chinese Malaysian, there's not a lot of nicknames you can get. I guess I get called Ah Wei a lot. And my mom's side of the family calls me Rose (I have a "rose-shaped" birthmark)

Eye colour:
I'm pretty sure it's black (or maybe really dark brown)

Hair colour:
I'm Asian. It's black.

One fact about yourself:
I breathe air

Favourite colour:
Honestly, I'm in a limbo right now, so I can't really choose one colour. Have three instead. I like cherry pink, white and gold-ish yellow.

Favourite place:
I'd say something cheesy like "my primary school" or "my hometown" but that'd be lying. I don't have a favourite place but my room probably counts right?

Ah, to be normal enough to like celebrities, what a dream.

I have no idea what defines as a celebrity and I'm just gonna say what I think is the closest which is Alan Walker and TheFatRat

Favourite song/s:
Wow where do I start

I

think this list can go on and on and this is only just the digital music so I'll just stop (please listen to the music please it's amazing)

My music playlist contains 50% digital music, 30% video game and cartoon music, 15% Disney music and 5% normal people music

Favourite animal:
Rabbits. They're adorable. Maybe also dogs and cats. Also peacock fish and betta fish.

• there's probably more but I'll stop

Favourite anime:
I don't watch anime a whole lot, so I can't really say. But definitely Kaitou Joker, and Cells at Work

Favourite cartoon/s:
Steven Universe (not shit Sherlock), Clarence (I know I know fight me), The Amazing World of Gumball and probably more

Favourite mythical creature:
I don't know a lot about these topics to say a lot, but maybe fairies?

Wow this is worse I don't even know what to put

A pet you'd like to have:
Maybe a cat, they're calm and nice. Or a tank of peacock fish/guppies because why not

There should be more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head (exam studying making me go crazy)

Countries you'd like to visit:
a place with snow, Japan maybe. But I've been there before. Maybe somewhere out of Asia? Europe?

Something you hate:
I'd say cockroaches but I'm actually more terrified of them than to hate them. Oh wait, I remember now. Ah yes, the old system my primary school used to milk good grades out of as many students as they can overall.

(Just skip to the bold words if you don't want to hear me complain)

So there's this principal in my primary school before I graduated. She's not the type of person I appreciate.

Every Year 6 (12 year old) student had to take a test at the end of the school year before they can proceed to the secondary school, so the results of the test were really important to the reputation of the school. So, her solution to raising the school's reputation is to milk every A the school can get from the students. They'd look at every student's grades, determine which subject can get an A if pushed hard enough, and chuck them with extra classes before class starts everyday. For example, a student gets A for English, B for Maths and C for Chinese. They ignore English cause it's already an A and ignore Chinese cause it's too much effort to push it to an A. So they send the kid to extra class every morning for Maths to push it to an A for the test.

Sounds nice, yeah? Well, problem is we have 200+ students in our year, and each extra class can only hold about 10 students. We have only 4 or 5 groups of extra classes so only 40-50 kids get that treatment.

You'd think that'd be nice, if you get chosen you have a better chance of an A, if you don't you don't have extra homework and class to deal with. And here's the second part of why I hated the system: the class sorting system.

After Year 3, classes were split according to grades. Which for one was probably pretty humiliating for students in the "bad grades class" and for two was pretty stressful for students in the "good grades class". I in hand, as chucked into a "good grade class" and that's where the extra class system and class sorting system combo together into a mega pain in the ass problem for me.

As you guys learnt from the extra class system, you can already guess most if not all of the kids getting chose for the morning classes were coming from the "good grades classes". To solve a problem where parents would complain about the school being unfair, the school would pick off some of the kids in the "good grades" class with lower grades than the rest of the class, and replace them with one or two kids with the best grades from other classes. So from the outside, the selection looked a bit more even.

And I wasn't the smartest person you'd meet in the world. Despite being in one of those "good" classes, my grades were still awful compared to the rest of my classmates. Result: when everyone is out for extra morning classes, I'm the one of the only two people stuck in the empty classroom.

At first, I was fine with the selection. That was like the first few moments when I learnt I won't be attending extra classes. When it actually came the day I had to stay alone (minus that one kid who also was stuck in the classroom), I realized I probably just got ditched by the school system.

Continuation of a previous chapter, I never went to tution before. And despite knowing how horrible and stressful it is, I kinda thought it must be pretty nice to get more attention when it comes to your studies. So knowing everyone had more attention than me tution wise added with the fact I just got ditched in the extra class program meant the summarised message I got was "we aren't gonna help you with your grades cause you aren't worth helping." and 12 year old me took it as a personal insult.

The thing just got worse after one time I can recall when I was stuck in class alone again (the other kid was absent, I think) and two kids lucky enough to be chosen for extra class walked pass the classroom windows. I'm pretty sure he didn't meant it, but one of them commented "wow, there's only her in the classroom," as they walked past, which was pretty much rubbing salt onto the wound. Another thing 12 year old me took as a personal insult.

So yeah, I didn't like the program and system because it overall just gave me the message that I wasn't worth helping and it was pretty insulting.

Alright rant over, you guys can stop scrolling now

What kind of hair do I have:
It's black, straight-ish wavy? My dad accidentally cut it too short about two months ago so it's kinda curling in and a bit wavy because of that. I've heard people say my hair is really thick but honestly I know a friend or two who has hair wayyy more thicker than mines.
