An Apologetic Announcement 

Hi again. It’s Farren and I really hoped that I wouldn’t post this but it has to be done. A few days ago I wrote that I will post 30 days of short minute-long articles but unfortunately, my current schedule has been pathetically tight and squished. So here’s the deal. All 30 snippets of Farren’s QuickTake will be found on Farren’s Personal Corner in December rather than September. But instead of 30 articles, I will do 12 Days of Christmas with Farren. For each of the days, I will share about an interesting experience that I have, well, experienced. 

Another reason is because for the past 2 months, I am working on a small side project that will, soon, turn into a 3-part article that will be released during the September Holidays. Seriously, I have never spent so long working on a few articles. I will try not to spoil but it’s basically a big spaghetti mess between some of Sir Ken Robinson, Finland, Academics and a bit too much Money. 

And finally, I have a new article up on History Corner. I have been working on this very article for the past week trying to finish it up. The article includes a bit of Neil Armstrong, Yuri Gagarin mixed with a pinch of Rockets, Explosions and a lot of Missiles. So go and read it here.

Happy Reading!

Deadvertising Zarm Zam's Blogger (89) - Shorts

  Deadvertising Zarm Zam's Blogger (89)     It was the 21st of April 2021 and I was casually scrolling through my Internet Feed when I saw a great injustice done to me...     I grabbed my phone and started to blog this exact article you're reading here. We all know who is Zarm Zam, he has a Opinion Corner but wait... where's he opinion? It's only random history facts only a history nerd like Zarm Zam would bother to read about.      Next up, let's talk about the number of views he has. Now I don't have an exact number but I will predict he has 250 views. Meanwhile on this Opinion Corner with actual Opinions and blog articles that not takes you a minute to read like on his Corner but at least 6 minutes, I have a whopping 2400 views!      Next up, look at the beautiful Arial font I use to write my blog. Then look at Zarm Zam's default font that he uses. With its stupidly sharp edges and curved numeral digits.      Final...

Modern British Declinism (Part 1)

-
Image
Since World War II, the UK has seen the subsequent decline of their global power status, especially through the lost of their colonies which once made up 25% of the world's landmass. However, over the last 15 years, British Declinism has accelerated greatly thanks largely in part to economic decline, political divisions and internal conflicts resulting in economic deceleration and stalled growth. In this four part series, I will ‘attempt’ to explain how the UK got into this position and what it means for the world.   To provide further clarification, I separate British Declinism into two parts. First is Colonial Declinism which occured from the end of WW2 in 1945 to the Handover of Hong Kong 1997 (a series for another time perhaps?). The other is Modern Declinism (MBD) which traces its origins to the 2008 Great Recession. One metric I will be referencing a lot in this article is that of G7 countries, especially that of France and Germany because of their relative population a...

The Broken Mental Health System

-
The first two paragraphs are an adaptation of an original comment I wrote on the r/Singapore subreddit. I am awfully worried for students like me. In my opinion, the problem with our Mental Health  treatment machine is that those who need proper help fail to get enough of it meanwhile those who need not require help find these measures useless and boring and in some cases, further a adding to the stress students face. Imagine you're a student (or maybe you already are one) and you find yourself suffering from early signs of depression. There are four options for you. Talk to your Form Teacher, a School Counselor, seek Private Help or (unfortunately) give up. We know that students are more unlikely to open up about their mental health than adults (65% of adults do, only 32% of students do) therefore rendering the first two options redundant. Seeking Private Help is also useless since families are either unable to afford such help or choose not to, adopting a 'theres nothing wron...
