Lick Hung Chinese school parents

Dear God. The parents from this chinese school are insane. There are around 5 thousand + students in the school. Each and EVERY single parent insists on appearing at the door step of the school to chauffer their kid home. Thats like 5000+ cars in a small and narrow road. It took me 1.5 hours to get from one end of the road to another.

1.5 hours!

Do you have any idea how much I could have done in 1.5 hours?

I could have watched a movie.
I could have wrote an article.
I could have written numerous stories.
I could have played pool.


Heck there are so many I could have's I don't even want to continue listing them down.

This school is so popular, and supposedly up market that people are actually buying houses and moving into the area so that their kids can study there. They start tuition at the tender age of 7! SEVEN! Thank god I'm all grown up. I can't imagine going to tuition at the age of seven.

Furthermore, the kids all have crew cuts. The girls have ear length hair more or less and the boys have little hair. This prevents anyone from being jealous of someone else's look or hairdo. It also emasculates any sense of individuality if you ask me. This school doesn't produce good students. It produces GREAT robots!

If wish I had a digital camera. Then I could take a photograph and show ya'll how insane the traffic jam is in the first place. It took like 3 minutes to move half a yard. Thats practically crawling pace. The entire journey from my house to the school is probably less than 500 metres. And it took 1.5 hours! I'm so damn speechless.

Walking home would definately have been faster. I don't understand why they send their precious little tykes to school if they're gonna have to camp outside when the children finish school.

Let them take the BUS for goodness sake. Or heaven forbid.... LET THEM WALK! Oh. My. God. I said it. LET THEM WALK! But but, their kid could get kidnapped, raped and chopped into tiny pieces.

In that case, why not hire personal bodyguards for them. Yes. Each child should have their own body guard. Perhaps even their own radius alarm system. Should anyone inflitrate that radius, the police station should be alerted immediately.

Why stop there? Kids need to protect themselves right? Buy your child fire arms rights. You should be so much more at ease knowing your child is packing metal when he's walking home. If any one tries to screw around with him, the kid can simply just blow him away. Quite literally.

See! So many solutions to the situation, rather than cost poor innocent road users, who get caught in the maelstorm that is after chinese school hours a huge ass traffic jams.

That or parents could send their kids on the school bus or let them walk home. But hell... I think the firearms, personal security and radius alarms are more likely to happen.

Looks like your car is small enough, you might try driving up the sidewalk next time avoiding all that traffic...

5,000 students in one school..wow...that's a lot. Don't knock the short hair and dress code...my son goes to that type of school and the difference is unbelievable..calm, quiet, friendly atmosphere and no attitudes!! ....and more time for study ...muahaha is right, they are naturally smarter!!

Can you afford a helicopter? LOL..

sorry....it was yu-chan that said "students are naturally smarter"....don't know what muahaha is....dumb me!!

Vince said...

yu chan's muahahha is her evil laughter :p

no attitude! exactly! thats why I said they were programing robots not teaching children!

Vince said...

oh and a hellicopter is on my wish list.
Right next to the digi camera :(

Anonymous said...

The city school where I live, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, had no dress code...the kids were coming in with nasty attitudes...teachers were prepared with the same attitudes and not much got done other than disciplining the kids....because of this my son's grades weren't what they should have been so I put him in a private school.. Call it robots but school is for learning...church is for worship...everything else is for developing any type of non robotic personality you would like.

That's just my opinion and if you don't agree...I can live with that...

Hey, guess what? I am a student from Lick Hung. What u say is absolutely correct!I am a standard six student and the school has tutions everyday. Oh man, this sucks! UPSR is over. Hooray!

Vince said...

good for you kiddo... aren't you a lil young to be reading the stuff I'm writing...

I'd better be more careful what I post from now on... didn't know 12 year olds were reading my stuff...

Anonymous said...

wtf...if not because the teachers are teaching them and forcing them to read and learn, they won't get smart. Look at those gangs in the middle school, 1% of them are from lick hung and thats a small amount. think in the positive way, and you'll know why I am against you guys... Lick hung is a popular school that encourage young children to learn more and act good. Its for their own good to dress probably (uniforms), having neat haircuts and more... Think about it... what if your child is in a dumb school that let you wear bling-bling cloth to school and don't want to learn and have funky haricuts...will you like it...I bet not... by the way... I am a 5th grader and my whole class is reading these blogs so think before you say...I as a student will protect gosips from my school. I trust my school and I am always on their side...And you better too...

Vince said...

just because you're eleven doesn't mean I'll go easy on you... spouting crap and threats on my blog...

First of, you can't FORCE someone to be smart. People are born smart or stupid. Like in your case. You're obviously stupid digging up an article that is two years old to start an arguement.

you can however, force students to memorise. But that's not intelligence. That's just hard work by punishment and will get you no where in the future.

which is why I said your school is full of robots. you lack individuality and uniqueness. Everyone is drilled into being the same fact regurgitating drone that the school produces.

even your arguements FOR your school are boring to read and lack any interesting points.

twenty years from now, you'll be wondering why the world is such a cruel place, working a desk job that works 9 to boring 5... just like the rest of the kids in your school

simply because you didn't dare to be different.

Vince said...

oh... and for the record... the article was about the massive traffic jam your moron parents cause...

not about your school...

didn't they teach you how to read in Lick Hung?

Anonymous said...

Being drilled into memorizing something is not a sign of intelligence.

That's the problem with this school system, very few come out of it with the mindset to actually apply what they learn, in a practical manner in situations which are NOT covered in the textbooks.

So when the formulae doesn't work, what do they do? Sit like fools at their desks not knowing what to do.

THIS is a FACT and it happens everyday in Malaysia and around the world. Employers all over Malaysia have this problem with fresh graduates who join them, and it's widespread enough to come out in the national papers.

A positive teaching environment is a good thing, but churning out a robot who can't function beyond what they've had drilled over and over again into them since school?

That's just plain stupid.

Think out of the box children, you might find that such a system isn't as ideal as you may have hoped for.

ya im from lick hung....lick hung sucks and stupid. Our class tracher punished use for just changing place....and u know what?Some people got injured due to the torture of the lick hung teacher. We got a video of our teeacher torturing some students(who were innocent)...so i think i'll post it on youtube.

Feel free to contact me at my blog too....

XDXD

by the way dont reveal my name to anonymous or he'll beat me up(cos he enemy and hes know me very well)

shut down said...

About the traffic...Ya i agree with you. Too much parents send and pick the pupils up by car. I think is ridicilous because it not only obstruct traffic but also spoils the environmont. I every day walk to school because its healthier and better(lol). But 2 students was kidnapped and a student was knocked down by a car recently. The best way is students walk home or cycle WITH THEIR PARENTS.

Vince said...

o.O torturing you kids?
oh dear... yea.. post it on you tube...

maybe something will be done :)

congrats on the award btw... :)

i know... lick hung suckxxx... UPSR suckxx too... luckily im oversea... after all the shits and craps in lick hung (no offense)... and I agree with you... it take like 10yrs to go from the start of the road to the end with all the traffic... wish lick hung student good luck... :]

Anonymous said...

I dun agree with you,(i am from Lick Hung too)Sure,there is a lot of homework and tution etc. But is not that bad as you said and teachers don't toture kids. If they do,you must have done something wrong!!!! And anyway recording a video during school hours( wether it is true or not)is against the school rules

Vince said...

I wish I could block morons from posting here

wth i wrong with you
dont live whr u live right now then children with firearm rights? how old are you trying to pull this lame joke and it's not working
the hairstyle of the students hair?
you're talking about that?
i was in that school and my hair super long. pathetic ass. i didnt even study during upsr and got straight a's that's what lh prepares for us making us smart even now, i didnt study for my tests and i can still get a's and b's and its not only me
its everybody i noe from lh too. no offence to other students from other scholls. and we're not a bunch of nerds alright. badminton pro swimming record breaker hell even de gang members from dere can get a's not only for upsr i was from that school and everytime its time to go home it only took about 15 minutes to hget out of ss19 and going to usj 6. dont make things up freak. teachers thre might be strict during class but that's what teachers do! my teacher was so good everytime i fighted back with her she just acts like nothing happened and walks away she didnt take any action and you know why it's because she's afraid we'll become robots. i fidured this one out after raduating from the school. if you dont wanna get into the traffic jam den get a head start on the road or move to some where else that wont waste your precious time going through the traffic it's worth every bit of it because what we turn out is awesome and you will never know what we mean. you said u wish u can block morons from here because you have nothing else to say in your face. acting like you know wth is going on in that school go sue them if u can

Vince said...

hello to another halfwit directed here from google... =) you wanna use big big nasty words like freak and telling me to move out of MY house... LOL... ooo this is good... real good!

ok! you asked for it!

1) learn to write in proper english.. I don't understand half the bs you're spouting

2)super long hair? how long? 2 inches? same size as your brain? =)

3)its freakin UPSR kiddo... ANYONE with a quarter of a brain can get A's for that lame excuse for an exam.. ask any ADULT... UPSR is peanuts compared to what you will be learning... so get off your laurels... get decent results for SPM... or STPM... then you'd have a glimmer of a chance to impress me...asumming they don't kick you out for being too stupid to teach...

4) 15 mins to get out of ss19? Look little retard... when your darling mommy and daddy come to pick your pre pubescent ass out of school... they're ALREADY at your school... that's 1/3 the freakin jam... easily takes 20 mins to get from the ss19 shop area and main road heading into ss19 before your school to get to your school area...

5)well if you 'fighted' back with that kind of english... she prob walked away to piss herself laughing at you... go figure...

6) My family have stayed in this house before you were a gleam in your fathers eye... and before you school was built there... If your parents weren't so obessed and inconsiderate about where they park to pick up their brats and actually encouraged you to be a little independant instead of breast feeding you brats spoilt even when you are old enough to go to school... there wouldn't be a jam to speak of.

7)obviously I will never know what you mean about turning out awesome... cause if they're all half brained monkeys like you... I don't think any of them did... so how would i ever find out?


now pls.. crawl back to the hole you came from...

or do you need mommy to pick you up with her big mercedes to bring you there too?

Joe said...

lol @ vince you've made yourself some lil monsters as enemies!

it's amusing to know they seem pretty proud of the fact that they have 'gangsters' in a primary school. *claps*

i could go on and on with this arguments the retards put up... however, internet argument is pointless... esp with retards...

but... the 'gangsterism' thing's still cracking me up!

feels a lil uncomfortable that kids are using such strong language these days.. :P

totally understand how it is to be stuck in the lick hung rush hour jam. i don't blame it on the parents though, nor the school. It really is due to township planning. do you notice all other schools in subang are next to big open roads, or at least are more accessible from different directions i.e. SMK SS17.

Lick Hung and SK SS19 (which also contributes, though through a smaller part, to the jam) are like stuck in a little corner, with only one access route, and one exit. WHICH also happens to be the only access and exit to certain parts of SS19. For the school's part, at least they have hired guards that do help to alleviate the congestion, provide proper parking for buses, and not allow parents to wait at the gate, at all. For our part, all we could do to help, well, is to avoid that area during peak hours.

okay.. this is kind of pathetic.
Upsr is well yea not important at all but it is de starting of something for kids. They could get scholarships or something that can bring them to better education.
Since that you know that he is retarded why bother argueing with him. The jam is seriously not that bad i pick up my bro everyday from that place. i watch him do his homework just to make sure that he doesn't fail anything and notice that he memorizes little stuff so memorizing is not really a main educating way for lick hung i guess. the homework is a load of rubbish just keep doing it and doing it till he understands.wtf?
he's hair is a bush but the teachers never asked him to cut it or maybe they did but there should be a letter right? i think the school is okay.. it didn't really bother me when i was in it. Sometimes the teachers are really annoying but it goes in and it comes out, easy as that. And Vince you're a pain in the butt to the kids. Insulting they're lovely, perfect school :P

Vince said...

1) yea... scholarships for high school... we all know how expensive high school is... *rolls eyes*

2)Its fun ripping into kids who have no clue about what they are saying ;) Call me a sadist..

3)dude.. this post is 3 / 4 years old... it WAS that bad back then... they didn't have the crazy whistle blower who waves everyone forward or to stop!

4) it wasn't jus a comment about Lick Hung actually.. more towards our malaysian education system in general... encourages memorization not understanding

5) get your bro a brazilian wax for his bush

6) well... they waste 20 mins of my life every time I go grab lunch... so i'm entitled to be a pain :)

Y.J said...

OK buddy, let's get this straight. First of all, I understand that it's a traffic mayhem outside the gates of Lick Hung, don't get me wrong, I'm a graduate from there. BUT, there are a few solutions, as parents only take about 1-3 roads, there are plenty different roads you can take. Second, asking kids to walk back to school with bodygaurds and other crap like that is stupid.
You think bodygaurds are cheap? And do you think bodygaurds will walk home with the kids? What if the kid stays at USJ 4 or some other place? Get a brain, get a good reason and lastly, get a good soulution before posting crappy things like this. You know what, I can happily give you a few solutions: 1) Use another road. 2)Tell other kids to sit vans and other stuff. 3) Let them walk home IF their house is near.

And, kids at Lick Hung AREN'T zombified or a robot. Proof, I see lots of kids inside school compound happy and laughing and playing. Would a robot do this? Seriously, get some proof before posting or do even the tiniest bit of research.

Vince said...

Okay twits... here's a clue so you don't look a stupid as you already do.

look up this word:

Sarcasm

also look at the DATE of the post and READ the other comments before ranting out all two of your brain cells.

kkthx bye

Y.J / Z.H said...

Why not make a longer comment like you do in the other comments you replied? Or did we left you dumbstruck?

As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter if you use sarcasm or not, you need reasons and solutions to back up your statement.

So, as I had stated, I provided a few logical statements as well as reasons and soultions to back my case up.

And, if you like using sarcasm so much, why don't you just move to another estate rather than stay at SS19?

Try thinking of more better comebacks next time and take my comment as a lesson, nice try, anyways.

From me, and my bro. Which is anonymous below me.

Y.J/Z.H said...

If you say that it's my dumbness that made you dumbstruck, it means that you're easily dumbstrucked.

You're just saying that you don't wanna argue with retards beecause you have nothing to say for yourself you retarded excuse for a human. Have a nice day. XD

Joe said...

"Try thinking of more better comebacks next time and take my comment as a lesson, nice try, anyways."

Someone's rather self-righteous eh?

However, internet arguments are just ridiculous. If the other person doesn't accept your views, then just fuck it. Why even bother?

Y.J said...

Internet arguements are pointless, we get it, you've been saying it twice now. Anyways, to Vince, you say UPSR was like peanuts to you? Did it felt like peanuts when you sat for it during your 6th year in primary school?

Sure, when I was 5, I thought the timetable was hard, now, it's a piece of cake. First of all, buddy, you can't say anything is a piece of cake. It's just that when you grow older, you have more harder stuff to focus on and it'll make the stuff you learned last time easier.

Sheesh, adults...

If you don't like people to post stuff which doesn't suit your point of view, just delete this blog and everything will be fine. You don't even update it anymore. Why leave it?

Unless... You don't know how to delete a blog?

Bbye!

Joe said...

exactly, most of your point have been said by others don't you think so?

Y.J said...

Yeah, I know. But, it's still not very nice to talk to kids, I'm not refering to myself, I'm refering to the elementery school kids, in such a mean way. Kids ARE kids, who knows, you might turn them into a delinquent.

You know, now even Std 4 students know what's the meaning and concept of sex.

Nicole W. said...

Kids say they understand sex, but they really have no idea.

And I'm only taking you, Y.J seriously because of your flawless grammar thus far. But the least I expected from these "well trained" children from a top tier school like Lick Hung was proper tone and respect towards adults. No matter what they say about your school. Let not forget it's our behavior, and not our grades that make us a good or bad student. As for me I hated Lick Hung while I was in it, loved it after UPSR, and then hated it all over again. Who knows how I feel after gaining an even more objective view of my childhood.

I am a parent and am thinking of sending my school to Lick Huang. I am not concerned about the hard work or long hours. In fact, I think hard work and discipline is good for children. But am concerned if they are "trained" to just follow and NOT to think for themselves....Still thinking where to send my son ;)
Any advice?

Vince said...

my advice is to not look at a 6 year old blog post ranting about the school for serious recommendations on your child's education :)

go ask around I guess.

good luck with that :)

P/s: Traffic there is STILL awful!

Lydia said...

Dude, I find your post really funny, and I'll take it as a BIG JOKE. :D

1. Walk? They're only 7-12 years old. Hello, you're living in Malaysia! And, of course! Bodyguards! Real funny, I practically laughed at that. Yeah sure, hire a personal bodyguard for each and every student body, you will do the paying. Buy fire arm rights! Smart, but it's all on you. :)

2. No, we girls who has long hair can TIE with a rubberband.

3. I don't do and think like a robot. To be honest and for your information, every school (which doesn't count International schools) are taught to memorize. And why? Blame the government.

4. The way you comment, what can I say? REAL MATURE. You sounded like some kid ready to pick a fight.

Lastly, you can MOVE OUT if you have so much complains. Dude, think about it, it's YOU who are having troubles with the school that causes traffic jams. Nobody gives a damn about you living. So it's for your own good.

Vincent, I hope your life is more relax now in year 2013. It is truly failure in education to raise "smart" and "not retarted" adults like you who use aggressive words and negative statement in entire blog. Especially response to children. Please do not use this method to raise your children, that will make Malaysia become low standard. It's so shy to see adults verbally abuse children.

It's not about the school that you should attack verbally, it is not even the children and parents. Well, if they are richer than you as they have time to wait for their children, it's their choice. The fact is the government did not plan well in township design.

Furthersmore, it's standard problems all schools and offices faced the problems you had with traffic in year 2005 to now.

I hope as you have grown now and probably have children, you able to make a difference in things that you dislike to see or to guide people who you see "retarded" compare to using abusive words over the virtual world.

if you find the child disrespect you, please guide them.




Vince said...

dear anonymous,

1) First and most importantly, it's a satire post / rant from 2005, get over it!

I understand from reading your comment, that English is not your, well, to put it politely, strong point. Perhaps that's why you misread the tone it was meant in. Quite similarly to alot of the other commenters here. Go figure.

It is not a verbal attack on the school, it is a RANT / SATIRE. Google it! Then, get over it!

2) please get off your high horse regarding profanity - if it is a cause for concern, get your kids off the net or monitor it!

no one strong-armed any "children" into reading or rudely commenting my old blog in the first place.

I'll admit I was a bit harsh, but main due to being massively irritated with the silly comments. I was feisty when I was 25. *shrugs*

But, honestly, if they're "adult" enough to be abusive when commenting, then they're "adult" enough to take what they give.

The onus is on parents to educate their children and control what their kids see and don't see in said virtual world. Your kids, your responsibility.

Besides, the "bad" language I used? Twit? Retard? Dumbass? A harsh tone reply harsh and ridiculous comments?

Oh come on! 30 minutes of your standard Hollywood movie or clip on the net, and there's more "bad words" there, who are you kidding?

As for the "negative statement" in entire blog, I'm flattered you "read entire blog". But honestly, its my blog, or it was. I quite frankly care very little what you think about its contents.

If by lowering the standards in Malaysia you mean commenting on a 8 year old post to be self righteous and preachy, because you don't possess the command of the language to understand the nuances of the writing, I think you're doing a way better job than me.

Cheers.
