Okaaaayyy

I just couldnt get a title for this post

Its NOT my average kind of day
Its NOT what I feel most of the time
Its certainly NOT a day anyone look forward to

Its a matter of deciding and be decided the timespan being spent upon hundred of days are worth the effort and risk of opening a new path.

In a layman's term, its just collecting my STPM results.lol.

So yeah, its the talk of the town (for the ones involved in it). The top 3 frequently asked questions will be:
1) When are the results coming out? I heard its [insert rumoured date here]
2) What time are u goin to school?
3) Have you apply online for the local uni courses?

...even till the day before Thursday ala THE actual day. What the heck, since nothing could be better as a chatting topic.
You're so nervous till cant sleep? I certainly can...its 4am and its way past my bedtime,which is bout 3am btw.

So while on the way to school, i was recalling the day i took my SPM results. Not many people, stoned reactions everywhere, a very minimal hassle and lastly Ms Vany telling me the results before i can reach out for my slip.
Okay, lets hope its a little different this year.

*Look left, look right*
The school is as dead as ever! I know its a school holiday week, but hey...where's all the extra classes and school janitors? Oh, finally i saw the small little spot with the 'most' human interaction. Our infamous McD area. Its just a small 4X4 pondok with plastic table and chairs resembled greatly to the ones you see in McDonalds. So go figure

5...6...7
Wow, certainly there's alot of people. After waiting for the entire month for it.
I'm bout 5 feet away from the table where Ms Vany was seated with all the result slips... I'm already entering into my own zone within that distance where any word spoken to me was barely being attended. Its all bout getting the results and break the nervous crack.

*Being handed with the slip*
As upon the moment i'm bout to wonder what will i get
'Ms Vany: Congrats Miu Kee...you got #######'
Darn it!!!! There she goes spoiling the truth for me!! How could it be? Cause everything is sealed up.

The heck with it, took my own sweet time peeling off the opening lines of the slip. I'm already in my zone anyway.
So lets check out what i got...
!!!!! what??!! I thought she was only kiddin! Coz its true!
But but but...how....she....knows?

Oh...why didnt i think of tht? There Pn Quah and Pn Helen sitting down with THE ORIGINAL slips all together -_-

Guess you all wanna know what inside my tiny lil paper

Pengajian Am : A
Ekonomi : A-
Pengajian Perniagaan : A
Maths S : B

With an overall CGPA of 3.67

Yeah, it was overwhelming. I swear in 20 years of my life, nothing could be more shocking than this. All i expected was a lucky 'A' and a couple of C's and probably a D for maths.
Maths sucked big time tho. Imagine doing a bunch of questions u've never seen in ur life before with cold sweat running down and thinking "blasted, i've just blew my chance for a credit in a subject"

Not to forget the question no.1(b) of the perniagaan paper. I'm still cursing it till today. That 25% worth of marks which took everyone by shock.

Nevertheless, I'm darn grateful for it. Nothing could have overcome the satisfaction and joy in return of the living examination hell i went thru.

Congratulations to all the result takers. Not only for ur results but the hardwork that you went thru. Officially you've survived one of the toughest and darned exams you'll ever imagine in your life.

Regardless of what I get,I'll never regret a single bit. A principle I've lived with since the days of SPM . I wouldnt be thinking "If only i work harder, i would be able to get a better outcome". Cause the truth is, thats the furtherest and most i can go on. I've reached my limits of studying for it and thats everything I gave in. Its good when others can get 5A's or even 14A1's, but realising ur effort and commitment are way beyond that will be totally incomparable.

So yeah,this day certainly kick ass
