the spm english literature really made me sweat. not because the exam is tough(i would'nt know anyway, since i won't take it till form 5), but because sourcing the materials is no easy feat. a rough calculation showed that i travelled about 30 kilometres as i regulated between 3 bookstores and a library to find the reading materials. and guess what? i'm not finidhed looking. the toughest to find is probably The Lion and The Jewel by Wole Soyinka.not that i havn't found it, but it is sold in england! i feel like a single knight seeking his lofty quest.
but actually, english literature in SPM is not that bad. and although it do not seem to have pass year questions available,the stories to be read is interesting. there's holes, by louis Sachar, William Shakespeare's julius ceaser, and a couple of poems.
readers, i serious encourage you to take the subject. by the way i shall post the full list of materials for english literature in SPM. Getting the list of materials is 1 thing, actually sourcing for it is quite another. to those who is finding it, may the force be on your side.

good morning(or is it good night?)
good morning everyone.my first post:)
or is it goood night? the time as shown on d clock is specifically 12.31 a.m. it arises to this question: what is our sleeptime?is there a common sleeptime for all teens like me? while the century old nag of SLEEP EARLY! still goes strong, i can't help but wonder what begots sleepless nights when our hormone reactions start to take place(no, don't think crooked)i.e. puberty. so we are stuck in a timeless conundrum: we know when is the right tuime to sleep but we have to surpass it by 2 hours. (kinda like knowing apples are good for you but you can't find it, right?)Not to mention that school will come a-knocking 5 hours later. so we get 5 hours of sleep with an additional 1/2 hour of lying wide eyed on bed counted in.5!!!! how in the name of merlin's pants are we going to lead a healthy life?
on the other hand, school hours can't be changed either. with 2 sessions using the same classroom, it is impossible to start the morning session at, lets say, 8 and still finish the afternoon session on que. and the afternoon session can't end on 8 at night, either, as there would be timetable congestion and security issues. unless schools start hiring Aurors 24/7....................
