Reminisces of that glorious past, the current uncertain futures.
Results released yesterday. That moment of truth finally came. The pump of the adrenaline turns into a sigh of relief, and a tearful moment. I usually do not cry when I saw my results, but I did yesterday.
Taking it back to FOrm 6 days (my revival period), it was a moment I always looked forward to - the continuation of my rule at the top of the class. Number 1 was always my priority. Every word of my teachers and my Kasturi Tuition tutors are gold - jotted everything they said..study study study...play was only during chess club meetings or the time I am on duty as an IT Lab prefect.
Fast forward to uni life, freshman year. Did the same. Still takes notes in class while lecturer is talking, always afraid of missing anything important. Did tutorials like it was no tomorrow. Did past exam papers to get a feel of the finals. the sweet ecstasy of victory often permeates my nostrils.
Then, winning and knowledge, the ultimate goal of my life.
Sophomore year- things started to change somewhat. Started to play, outings, socializing, mobile Facebook-ing, Farmville, Galacticos Football, AND started to less and less do tutorials. Revision became a part of the final 2 weeks of my semester before the exams. Assignments, wait till its a week before my due date. IS THIS REALLY EVER ME???
Then came the pile of work that laid undone, procrastination became a culture in me. Whatever happened to me?? Last sem, it was a wake up call of sorts. ACC202, struggled to understand a single sh*t in it. ACC301, *blurs*, assignment last min works...FIN2o4, okay I know this and that, but am I conceptually right?? MGT203 - go and die...wat is this crap wei!!!!! Blaming everyone and evertything but myself...Ross Perot wannabe...CGPA fell like it was a Black October on the stock markets.
Now, looking back, I really wanted back that old person I wanted to be, not the one who I have become....

Quote of the day = the only way when your down is UP and the only way when your UP is to get down to the decaying root to rebound again.
Keep on learning and winning, playa!!
