The Value of Knowledge

Lil Sis is nervous.  Haha pity her.  I know the upcoming SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia- equivalent to O-Level, sorta) is just a few months away and boy, she's officially under stress. Poor girl.  I remember the time when I had to sit for SPM.  It's one of the best experiences I ever had.  Mom just got her VSS and was at home all the time, but still I was so lazy to study.  It was fasting month, and instead of having the exam in the hall, my batch had to sit for it in our very classroom!!  The reason: there's a construction site nearby the hall so the principal thought it might diverted our focus.  Hahaha she's so concerned eh?  As for me, I don't need a construction site to distract me during exam, even the presence of invigilator near my seat is enough to make me restless.  Imagine someone peeks over your shoulder while you’re trying to write your answer, that's scary.  At least it was for me.  I just hate it, I'm not sure why though.

Back to Lil Sis.  I asked her what makes her so nervous and her answer was: getting the results!!  Oh boy, you're not even step into the exam hall yet, and you're worrying about the results??  Girl, calm down!!  It's just a paper with some alphabets on it!!  It's not the end of the world.  Whatever the result is, you’ll always be my lil sis and I'm always proud of you. Remember, 10A's or no A's (which I know impossible coz you're the most Bijak Bestari person I ever knew!) it doesn't matter.  I know lotsa straight A's students in school who turn out not to be an A person in life.  School is not just how many A's you can get, it's more than that.  School teaches you about life.  About relationship.  About yourself.  So, gather as much knowledge as you can get and apply them in life.  It's more rewarding if you could use that knowledge in your life rather than just vomit them on the paper.  Trust me, I'm old enough to know that.

I hate filling out the OMR form. Luckily my parents gave me such a short name or I need to bring extra hand to help me =p
