It has been a long period since i last updated my blogspot.
This time, i have turned into a 19-year-old "young adult"
and have experienced many challenges.
Looking back on the post I posted before,
I do really realise that I have been mature as constantly bombarded by life challenges.
The route after SPM didn't really go as smooth as I ever imagined.
I was advised to proceed into a Junior College in Singapore after my secondary school.
Despite the stiff qualifications of admission, my dad still insisted me for going,
no matter through what way.
I bore with the sadness of being rejected by many Junior Colleges
as their standard of questions in the placement tests and expectation in the interviews were far high than what I expected.
Finally, I successfully met the admission criteria of one of those Junior Colleges
and started my study life in Singapore.
In the beginning, it was really a pleasant moment for me during the orientation week.
Singaporeans were really open-minded and warmly welcome me as a foreigner.
I befriended with a lot of Singaporeans and I did not really see any form of discrimination in the beginning.
I expected life in Junior College would be full of laughters and enjoyable at that time,
but never realise that my study life would have so much twists and turns afterwards.
It is true that there is a large gap between Singapore educational system and ours.
We as a Malaysian has far left behind those Singaporeans in education.
Those of what we should be learning in the secondary level in Malaysia are being squeezed forward to tertiary level,
causing me to be lacking of important foundation in many subjects.
Almost in every lecture, the syllabi were just the review and enhancement of what they have learnt in secondary school
that was why all the lecturers just briefly explained those concepts and expected everyone is the genius.
For me, I had to catch up all those chapters that I was still fresh to.
However, I did not really do that due to extremely extended school term and time constrain.
In extra-curricular activities, I was successfully accepted the club I desired the most.
I had very deep passion in badminton sport as well as some talents, as foreseen by the coach before making acceptance.
Because of this, he had terribly high expectation on me in playing.
The training system was very systematic and I was able to follow.
Nevertheless, my body condition turned poor as being struck by stress and lack of sleep.
I could never perform at my top form in every training, causing me to be overtaken by players who shared the same standard as me.
I was gradually abandoned from the main draw player team.
During the National Championship for JC level, I served as a back-up player in the squad.
Through those matches, I picked up valuable experiences while observing the tactics played and getting myself into the competition atmosphere.
As we were outplayed by other JCs, our coach expected a definite loss in the group play stage.
The back-up players were lifted to play as the main-draw players, so as me, who played as the first single.
Though I couldn't contribute the very first point for the team, I felt satisfied for my playing.
As my determination to keep focused in studies, I finally withdrew myself from the club and chose to enter the Chinese Cultural Club.
After a period of time, I didn't see any desirable outcome in my results.
I have badly done almost every subject.
I did intend to attend tuition, the tuition fees, however, were horrible to be afforded.
Plus, my family had to bear with extremely high school fees of studying overseas.
These made me to reconsider whether to continue studying.
Upon negotiation with family, I finally made my anguished decision, which is to quit JC, though it was not easy for a Malaysian to enter JC.
I tried the second alternative for getting into Singapore University, which was studying STPM.
I expected an easier road in STPM than A-levels but the situation wasn't that rosy.
Again, I was the one who was forced to catch up the syllabi after missing two-month lessons.
The first term of STPM was horrible to me as when I was still adapting the system, everyone had gotten use to it.
I struggled so much in studies but I was still not able to fulfil my own expectation.
Luckily by the end of the term, I secured a CGPA of 3.50 in the actual exam and this encouraged me to advance further.
During the second term, I was well-prepared for the examination system.
Desirably, everything went like a bed of rose despite the fact that I under-performed in the first test.
I regained my interest and confidence in studying, especially when it came to Calculus in Maths.
Meanwhile, I struck such a good balance between academy and sports.
It was truly challenging for the school badminton tournament held in April.
Due to the hard work paid, I was granted the first place in the Men's Single and third place in the Men's Double.
It was really a vast achievement for me in the sport.
In the Proficiency Test before the actual exam, I regained my first position in the class and ranked the third in the entire cohort as well.
During the actual exam, I was able to work out relatively smoothly as compared to the first semester.
Now, I am going to take up the challenge of proceeding into the third semester.
I pray that I will be able to attain a good grade in the second semester and keep excelling onwards!
今年龙年呢,
过得还蛮充实以下吧
除夕的团圆饭,就是火锅咯,
简单又丰富,最主要是有合家团聚的温馨...
用过饭后,我们就去拜神,放烟火。
邻居的儿子竟然拿了好料来--一箱16响的大烟火
他们不敢点,叫弟弟点。
woah,真的是太刺激了,
一响一响打上天空,够力的是震到邻居家alarm也响....
大年初一,大清早就到外婆家拜年。
不用说了,就是恭喜发财,万事如意,
还有一个“青春美丽”,哈哈,说到各位女的都暗爽...
下午的时候就有点小显咯==
晚上呢,就有伯伯伯母来咯。
过后还有带小的点炮。
那天的红包钱收获还蛮多一下~
大年初二,
又是蛮显的一天...
竟然开车跟老弟到ioi,kulai utama,tesco绕,
华人新年,只看到多数都是马来人在逛...
一天就这样过去了......
大年初三,
早上因为闷过头,出了一个主意,跟老弟和表弟去打球...
wa, 好久好久没有这样打了,好喘~
打完后,就到McD去吃午餐咯。
我们厉害下,看到里面排队多人,就去Drive Thru那里买
买了不用紧,然后就把汽水装去一个罐里面,然后倒回去refill...

晚上,去黄老师家,听大家说故事。
黄老师说今年压力好大,而且中一华人才41个...
我和顺元就分享很多A level的东西,
然后那些“阿兵哥”就讲很多当兵的趣事咯。
哈哈,我在做着逃兵呢~
过后就去ah tan家,她带我去看整间家,很整齐!
然后,我就坐下来跟她妈妈聊了好久好久,
到大概11.30 才回家~
大年初四,今天陟频带了一群朋友来我家。
想不到话没说到几句,那些赌圣就发威玩牌...
过后他们在我家吃饭,看兔子,上网...
午餐后,我们就到陟频家还有伟元家拜年....
大年初五,今天是焦点戏咯,团拜~
首先先去顺元家。那个gps真的是害人,

之后还有去庆恩家拜年。
午餐呢,又是在我家解决....
虽然全部都是男生,可是ah tan说要跟我们一起去。

休息够了后,我们就出发到启贤家拜年,
由于时间很仓促,所以很快就走了。
我们到ioi看电影--逆战。
还蛮刺激一下的,背景是在吉隆坡。
浩大的场面,那时我有在吉隆坡就好了~
大饱眼福后,我们简单吃了过后,就起程到philip家。
去到他家坐没多久,大家就心痒痒出去空地那里。
我们放孔明灯,热气不够的时候就放了,
结果那傻傻的4个人把孔明灯追回来。
过后我们尽情地轰炸整个空地,
尤其是顺元,什么炮都要试。
最劲的是那个彩雷,把饼干桶炸到碎片...
11.30了,把朋友送回家后,这次的拜年也告一段落了。
