Origin Of Paper Warrior...
Paper Warrior…
This term caught WK attention (consider an honour to me cos WK’s blogs are very thought provoking and chim, and to think that my posting actually appears in his blog… Wow! This shows that Nengster can write chimology stuff too … hahaha… ya rite… me very the KNS… :p) and he had came up with a few very interesting definitions of Paper Warrior in his blog (do check it out). So decided to share with everyone where the term “Paper Warrior” originated from.
The term “Paper Warrior” which I had coined for my previous postings originated (best to my limited knowledge :p) from a comic book call “Rojak School” which is drawn by a local cartoonist, Kendoism. This comic is about the zany school life of 2 buddies, Tako & Spud, in a infamous school call Rojak School (where else can it be? Haha…). It’s is very amusing and students like us can definitely appreciate the comic humour cos it is depicting what we are facing in everyday school life. Best to my knowledge, the comic has only 2 series so it is a pity that such a great comic had ceased publication.
Ops… Think I digress too much le… haha…
Anyway, the following is the author’s definition of Paper Warrior which I had scanned from the book. To view the pic better, double click on the pic and expand it. For those who are too lazy to click on the pic, I have also typed out the preface. Got © one hor, so dun anyhow Copy & Paste ah…:p
I especially like the ending part… so to end my posting…
~May the Scores Be With You!!! Muhahaha~
“Kendoism speaks:
Schooling was never easy. The countless tests and exams are enough to drive anyone berserk. Students are like mini-warriors, fighting and endless stream of battles. However, instead of guns and swords, we arm ourselves with pens, rulers, protractors, liquid papers and a host of stationery to wage wars against the exam papers. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.
We cannot deny that pressures for good grades are mounting. But think, amidst the frenzied hustle and bustle for that piece of paper, are we over-looking the little bits of humour in school???
As we journey through the passageways of time, there will come a time for us to leave school. Whenever that may be, I hope your memories of school-life will always remain, sweet and beautiful.
And to all the “paper-warriors” of Singapore,
May the scores be with you !!!”
