Life can be hard on you.
So, be hard on your life.

Exams were really difficult, especially Chemistry and Economy. It was madness back then. Maybe it was due to my ignorance to study EARLIER. Last minute study isn't good. Deng.

But, have to keep a positive mind for the next exams. Next week is going to be hell (quote from Wen Chean) with Physics, Maths T and Macroeconomy. And yet I'm still in front of my computer, waiting for 8tv's "So You Think You Can Dance" video recaps to upload.

My instructor's name is Rain Ong.

Rain? Since when he called himself Rain??? Lol...

By the way, his dancing technique rocked like... unable to describe. I constantly see him appearing in cameras dancing only. Note that he is a man with few words. So good, that the camera crew only focuses on those who aren't good (don't believe? See it for yourself... XD). Spoilers: He is already in the Top 20, so what do you think of his capability?

Go, Rain, go! Make us proud!

WAAAA!!! EXAMS AR~!!!

Oh well, this is life. Where scholarships are rejected and people are complaining.

I have two theories on why many scholarship's applicant has been rejected.

1. The applicant has only great outstanding qualification in academic sense, yet not so active or even unactive in society clubs or sports. This shows that scholarships are looking for outstanding people with a potential future to lead the world and contribute to the society, not to score in exams only.

2. The Malaysian way of selecting scholars was quite one sided. I can't explain futher due to the "Democracy" (Pronounced: "There's more crisis") of the country.

Although we can't really do anything for the second point (except voicing out and let 'them' screw you back), but we should focus back to ourselves, rather than go on complaining (with exceptions for Fu Han, who really deserve to get any scholarships) [Fu Han! Go and reactive your blog again!!! Don't let 'Democracy' stop you!!!]. This doesn't mean you must be good in everything and be AKAP (as kiasu as possible), but this means to excel in whatever you do best. I believe everyone of us is good in so many ways, whether it is in sports, organization or society. We all have the capability to be great leader and contribute back in the society. It's impossible that we can be good in studies ONLY.

I daresay 40% of the scholarship applicants are turned down is because of this factor. Getting good results only don't gurantee you to survive in the real, bad-ass world. The world out there needs people like us to lead in the future.

By the way, that doesn't mean you should focus on your passion only and forget about your studies. By all means, study not for the sake of scoring in exams, but for the sake of the knowledge.

Conclusion: Don't be a nerd like me. Thank you.

Argh~!!! Got to study for exams!!!
