SPM? Do or Die Mission?
Friday, March 13, 2009 @ 7:16 PM
I realize that ever since i decided to work, i only have time to do posting once ever week.. T-T But well, i guess it is better than not doing any posting at all...So, few days ago, SPM (O-Levels equivalent) and STPM (A- Levels equivalent) results were announced. Thus, you can see Malaysian newspaper starting to have people commenting on scholarships, commenting on top students, commenting on the education system , bla bla bla...
Few years ago, i personally took freaking many subjects (many in my term - of course not as much as 17 or 18 subjects ) for SPM.
Upon completion of the examination, i was immediately offered a place to study in Singapore 3 weeks after my exam. So, i did not really "enjoy" the craze of any post-SPM party... But then again, i did ask this question to myself;-
How important is the SPM examination? Why should we study so hard for it?

And i knew the answer very well, much better than anyone else. SPM examination, especially for the non-bumis, is like the key to your future. That is why i studied so so hard for it. But why key to the future?
Based on that three points, i guess it is good enough to say that SPM is indeed very important. But again, it does not mean that you are bound to fail in life if you flunk your SPM... There is still many other options available waiting for you! But what i am trying to say is, SPM is indeed important because it gives an easier path for your future if you do well... (like extremely well for non-bumis)...
Ok.. This serious topic ends here..

It is Friday night, and i am alone at home.. I just finished my 8 pages long paper, comparing a library to a prison! (yes, i know you like it.. :p ) Vince went to Pierce for dinner (seems like our social circles arent that overlapping anymore) and Wilson went to Chinatown for dinner with his friends... After writing the paper, i really enjoy being alone... At very least, i get to sing my heart out in my room without having the need to worry about others!
But anyway, i tried cooking curry chicken from scratch... Cut the chicken, cut the onion.. bla bla bla... And glad that it turned out just nice! I always have the tendency to cook a lot even though i am eating alone.. -_-!!! Come come.. Next time i go back to Malaysia, i promise to cook for anyone of you who are willing to try my food...
I managed to get the "highly competitive" (quote from the email that they send to me) Barcelona Study Abroad Program, which means, i am going to spend three months in Barcelona if i decided to go after all.. It is really expensive for me to go there, flight tickets, food, bla bla bla.. shopping.. bla bla bla... And to make things worse, i heard thatsomeone that i dont really happy with is also going (i already tone down a lot, so dont ask me to erase that line )... I have about 20 days to decide.. Maybe i will decide when i am in Bahamas..
Lastly, someone said she misses me.. So, here's a picture for YOU...
- If I fail to do well in SPM, this will also mean that i have to do Form 6 (Grade 12). And I really hate to do Form 6 as much as i hate brinjals and tofu. My family has the policy of saying no to colleges that requires money from their own pockets!!
- If i do well in SPM, then i can become a doctor..... This was what in my mind several years back. And the reality is, even if you do well in your SPM, you might still fail to be a doctor!
- If i do well in SPM, i can leave Malaysia and try to survive abroad by getting a scholarship. The is no way my parents can afford to invest RM 1 000 000 on my education alone, especially since my brother is also a scholar (added pressure)
