higher than the highest, better than the best.

we just got our Sem 1 exam result. posted on the board this afternoon. macam kerbau semua serbu. bajet suprise la tuh. walhal dah siap kira guna GDC. tapi overall, okay la. alhamdulillah.

wait, actually, alhamdulillah sangat sangat. ni bukan mimpi jadi realiti, sebab takde dalam mimpi pun :/

lets go back to the topic. this is what i learnt from Sem 1. you see, saya dah lama been in trauma since the very first day in KMB. semua budak budak pandai. sel neuron diorang cam pelik. mutated kot. hehe.

Situation 1

so for every weekly test, the highest would be no other than 100. tak payah berangan la nak dapat title highest kalo soalan setengah markah salah. tu baru test, kalau quizzes lagi la. kalo ada 100 plus plus, ha infinity plus la diorang dapat. memang pandai. haish. but lets take a moment to think. how do you actually define highest score? untuk dak dak IB, no, this is not TOK.

i have to say, it is not at all about numbers. not even close.

macam ni. kita belajar satu subjek bape ratus subtopics kan. okay over. tapi banyak la kan. and we study hard for the exam, focusing on every subtopic as deep as possible. the fact is, we don't know what question will come out. so during exam, we answer hard too. but in the end of the day, we get low marks. so korang rasa pandai ke kurang pandai? mesti lah kurang pandai kan. but the thing is, you can't count hardwork. neither can the marks.

copy jawapan Lydia Amira pun dikira hard work ye

pahaaammm ke takkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. maksud saya, achieving highest score doesnt necessarily means you are good enough. mungkin nasib, mungkin ketentuan. tapi sebenarnya tak payah la nak bangga kalo dapat markah paling tinggi di dunia because you know you will never be good ENOUGH. apa yang penting? bukan kerjasama, tapi usaha. percayalah. usaha tu melebihi markah yang ada. tak kesah la orang tu dapat 100 ke apa, tah tah dia guna bomoh. over lagi. buat apa nak frust menonggeng dapat markah rendah kalau dah usaha tu. tak rasa bangga ke? bukan semua orang tau boleh usaha macam tu. what i am trying to say is that, get the best of you to study, you'll be the highest scorer. kalau tak study, boleh rasa malu kat diri sendiri.

Situation 2

setiap sekolah ada best student. best student dapat straight A. mintak MARA. dapat KMB. memang selalu case macam ni. tu baru sekolah, belum peringkat negeri atau kebangsaan. macam saya cakap dulu, kalau semua best students, sapa yang tak best ni?

simpy (Siti) no one.

lagi sekali, how do you define best student? dapat markah tinggi? dapat jumpa menteri? no no no. think again. best students are far more than that.

best students are those who think they are. ni bukan kes riak. tapi keyakinan tu. kenapa nak toleh kanan kiri sambil ternganga tengok markah orang? eh tak salah. sebab saya buat jugak. hehe. tapi kan, kenapa kita tak jadi macam tu? sebab kita takut kan? sebenarnya kan, sebab ketakutan tu lah yang stop us from being one like them. best students ni yakin, diorang boleh berjaya. tak cuak pun tengok markah ratus ratus orang lain. tapi kita? hadeih.

maka janganlah malu nak berangan jadi best student. diorang memang best student, but you can be a better one. by having a mere dream with a bigger heart :)

well actually, these are things that keep wandering in mind in this review week. paper by paper, number by number, they all have meanings. and so here, i would like to leave a few messages and advices yang poyo for my sister who just entered KYUEM for A Level.

hahahaha lawak lah gambar yaya kecik. sorry. takde gambar lain. (yes padan muka)

yaya, i am writing this to you while you are being tortured by my friends there (i really hope so). i am terribly sorry if you think i look down on you before this by saying things you dont wanna hear. but i was trying, like really hard, to give you a view to what you will be facing there. A level or IB, neither is easy. semua membunuh jiwa raga. but like i said, its you determination and hard works that count. idk what you are thinking, but i really hope you'll pass A level with colourful flying rainbow colours (what the?) make everyone proud of you. and you too, to be riak sikit with your grandchildren that you survive A level. okeng? my best prayers with you.
