*Keep reading. The serious part is below.*
See I told you I will be back with a bang. Haha.
It has been raining and raining and raining in Seremban. Despite the gloomy weather, I have been feeling rather energetic and alert. Yes I love the cloudy and rainy weather. Its just that, even on a sunny and bright day you have nothing to do in Seremban, so do I even have to paint the picture about rainy days!!
Sometimes I feel that I might be the vampire. I found out that I am trying to avoid the sun at all cost. Here are the things that I do to avoid the sun
1. Wash and dry clothes at night.
2. Bring in the dry clothes late in the evening.
3. Go market damn early like 5am and try to reach home by 6.30 am
4. Never opened the curtains in my room since God knows when!!
5. Try to schedule any meeting or activity with friends on late evening or night.
Good God!! I am turning into a vampire!!
Ok enough of nonsense, lets get into the serious part.
So I went to my uncle's house. Then my uncle was interrogating me about Form 6 and University life and all. and so me being me I was telling him and his son all I know and all my experiences about Form 6 and so on.
Then on my drive back home I realize that when I was studying I did not have anybody guiding me. All my friends went separate ways and I was just going with the flow you know...I never really found out about universities, the lifestyle in universities, what to study. For me, it was just like, finish Form 5 got Form 6 so go do Form 6. After Form 6 got Uni went uni. Thats all.
If I may brag about myself I can tell you that I went to Uni empty!! I was a zero!! I did not have any friends, I have never been to Kota Kinabalu before, I never stayed in an hostel before , I never knew anything about university life because there was no one to tell me. The only thing in my mind was that I am here to study and that is what I am going to do.
Even in uni when all of my friends were busy changing their course structure, bringing forward and backward their credit hours, I din know anything. I strictly followed the prospectus that was given to me.
DO NOT BE LIKE ME!! DONT!! JANGAN!!
Thing turned out okay for me because in my mind I din care what other people did, I just continued my way thinking study is the reason I am here. Of course others had it easy and I had it hard....Is like others knew the shortcut and I had to take the long cut, but things turn out to be okay for me..
So here is my advice. Know what you are doing. If you dun have an intention to get into a local uni then don't waste 2 years of your life doing form 6. Move on. You should be able to judge what you can and cannot do at that age. You are not a little kid. Don't follow your friends. Find out each abour every course, every entry requirement, find out about universities. Seek alternatives. Gather all knowledge possible before making a choice. Consider each and every pro's and con's. Ask people about their experiences and the "way of living" in universities.
Here is a warning. I know most of us Indian people will tell you to suck up to you seniors....DONT!! If the senior is willing to help you genuinely (which I find it rare in Indian community), then yeah, communicate with them else save yourself the pain and move on. By sucking up to your seniors you will only do the same mistakes that they did.
Have principles for yourself. Dont just follow the crowd or the trend. This way yeah you will be popular and you will have lots of wild fun but you will defy the purpose for why you are there which is to study.
Enoughla....I am nagging like some kinda grandma only. Hopefully somebody somewhere will find this useful. Any questions post it in the comments section. With God's will hopefully I can provide you with some good answers....
Lastly,
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE SPM AND STPM STUDENTS FOR THEIR UPCOMING EXAMS!!
