Hi welcome all to my blog!!!!
I am bit of a alien to blogging. Writing has been the last think I wanted to do.
When studying in the Primary at The Boys Primary at Ferguson High School, Rathnapura, essays for home work was a nightmare to me. I always keep the essay to the last minute, wishing my mother would help me on this, which rarely happened.
In the O/Ls I hate languages, though I enjoy the subject a lot. I liked to read, but not to write. I have red all the stories and Novels related to the O/L Sinhala , English , Sinhala Literature and English Literature. But when it come to write essays and critics, Dman !!! ..... Why the hell they need it in written format!
I did my ALs in maths Stream. At Ananda College Colombo, very little number of students had the interest in doing Arts subjects for ALs. I was in the majority. When selecting the stream for AL I had the option of selecting one Out of maths and biology. Commerce was far away from my dreams. Though I had the pressure from my parents and some of my cousins to do biology, I had this fear of keep on writing the long essays. So I select maths.....
I have to make the note that , the reason behind me selecting maths was not my reluctance to write long essays. It helped me in making the decision.
Even getting in to maths stream didn't save me from writing the essays. Chemistry paper required a lot of writing in describing all forms of "Girawa"( Things need to remember ) parts.
This lac of interest in writing me blessed me with a "C" grade for Chemistry in my first attempt in A/L. That was year 2000....
Today 8 years later I am doing the same thing that I have never liked in a bit different way.
Same outcome "Expressing Ideas" but in very modern way.
I like this way of "Writing".... rather than holding a pen or pencil from three fingers and move it arm over a piece of paper to WRITE LETTERS in a MEANINGFUL MANNER, now, I move all ten fingers in my hands pressing these plastic buttons on a key board, wishing that the intended letters appear on the monitor in front of me.
Sure they do appear!!! With the great help of spell checking which most of the time showing red underlines under the words I type. Saying ASANKE!!! THIS IS WRONG!!!!
