NUMBER '5'

Why number ‘5’ can be so weird??

Firstly, it’s because it’s a middle number between 1 to 10. if you round it off, 5 is nearer to 10 (that’s the Mathematical rule). But seriously, dont you count more numbers to go from 5 to 10 than 5 to 1?? Durgh! I really wanna draw the number line here but it’ws not like it’s going to change the whole Mathematical thingy, rite??

Secondly, look at the coins..i mean, the malaysian coin. Why is 5 cent smaller than 1 cent and 50 cent is bigger than RM1 coin?? I know we are no longer using the 1 cent and RM1 coins, but didnt this get to your mind?? Gosh, isnt that weird??

When I asked my students to memorize the multiplication table, my year 2 kids can remember table 5 before they can memorize table 3 and 4. isn’t that weird? Maybe because it’s much simpler, but still, 5 is bigger than 4 and 3, shouldn’t it be more difficult??

20s is a very striking moment. Everyone at their 20s is enjoying themselves. But when you reach 25, things can get ugly. U are in the middle. I mean, you wouldn’t even care that you are 24 and keep on enjoying your teenage life, but suddenly when you are 25 in the new year, u are stucked in the middle of adulthood. Pressures come like rains, and the next thing you know, you are having a middle age crisis, HUH!!

But please, it’s the millennium years. Why does age such an important issue?? You can do wutever you want at whatever age you are.

Right??
