But of course, it's for my youngest brother, not me. Na na na... Congratulations lorrr.... Nice flush!
The photos seen in the newspaper about people bragging about their success (haha just joking) makes me wonder, what had I done in the past. Sadly enough (did I got through it?) I didn't secure a flush, meaning that I had failed myself (setting a target too high for myself). I still remember some teachers summoning me to the headmaster office, asking me whether I know some of these names (since I knew quite some people and I was the monitor before) and asking me to write out their Chinese characters. I have no idea what's going on during that day, I was just waiting for my results.
And then my classmates they got their results outside the office. I congratulated them and suddenly realized that... The names that I've written down in the office corresponds to the straight-A's in front of me. The worst part is---my name wasn't in the list. Immediately I wish that I wasn't there at all... You could imagine the pain. Now I'm not a good student, but people and I thought that I would get 7A's... Bah! There my dreams go! I did bad in the Chinese papers... People were rejoicing near the camera lenses but I was kinda alone, although standing in the midst of my friends...
Things get even worst by Form 4. I was separated from my best of friends (but in the process got to know good friends that I haven't even met before) I was so desperate to get into the first class, where all my best buddies since Form 1 was in. I was bugging the prefect master all day long (sorry, Miss Chu... I was so naive then) asking her where was the privilege she promised the prefects (the prefects were the king of that school that time. Now, times had changed, due to one and single person, who corrupted the whole board) I was throwing a temper around, and people can see me messing around. I believe poeple would be muttering behind me, "Look! He had fallen from grace! And he deserves that, as he was always so mean with us students!"
It was a wake up call, and that's the most important thing I've learnt from my PMR... Not science, not language, not geography, nor history... I just learnt how to wake up! Well I woke up well, but again the same thing happened in my SPM... Devastated? Yep~~~
But I woke up again, now that's the spirit I like about humans...
Finally I wish to congradulate all the PMR takers out there... If you score full A's, be glad and countinue to work hard. You deserve it! For those who does not fare quite "well", go on with ya lives! You are not dead yet, the world hasn't crumble yet. So, make something out of it. BE proud that you are still living like others and if others can do it, SO DO YOU!
A happy note --- Congrats to ruX2nub!
Last but not least, good luck to sienz!
