Quietus

SPM will be over tomorrow with EST as the final subject.

Since I've not been blogging since the beginning of SPM, I think I am going to try something different after SPM is officially over. Try something I call "Memory Blogging", I'll try to recall and blog about something that I would have blogged in the past.

Time flies and steals everything it brings, tomorrow will be the last day I will be in school uniform, the last of my school life. Someone once reminded me that I am just leaving the school and not dying. "A school life well spent?"

To some, the school uniform may be nothing more than a plain raiment over a person's body. To me, it is something that unites persons from different religions, cultures and family backgrounds. Who would have thought of wearing it for one last time when they had so much time ahead of them?

SPM has been a great learning experience, some say that the standard of the papers were much lower, but who knows that it could be due to the increase of their personal standards? The acronym SPM per se is enough to instil fear into a person. I remember how I felt before the Sejarah paper 2 exam. Thinking about it is fun, but being in it is something else.

My parents told me that if I've been studying like this from day one of my school life to day zero, I would have been a top scorer (And a no-lifer). It's not that I have anything against studying but studying during every single waking hour besides breakfast, lunch and dinner? I don't think that is a healthy lifestyle.

SPM Chinese? All I can say is that I did my best. Realistically, I believe my best is just not good enough. I guess it's all up to the examiner to determine what I deserve. Try again next time? Perhaps not, I believe the right thing to do is to trash the superfluous materials included in the syllabus and focus on required language skills that are required in daily usage. I hope I can muster enough willpower to start reading the Chinese newspapers.

The other subjects? I think it is not right for me to start counting my chickens before they are hatched. But I dare say is that I feel that I performed much better than my regular school examinations.

Over the period of 3 weeks, I think I lost my mind again. This reminds me of Acts 26:24 - "'Paul, you are out of your mind; all that learning of yours is driving you mad." I think I better start looking for it now.

It's just me and my music now.
