I just returned from NYP as i went there earlier to collect my mendaki award. it as fun. this is one of the things that i realli treasure- not becuz of the $$(ok, a small part of it), but becuz i feel that all my "hard work" is recognised and i'm given this opportunity to show to others that if i can do it, so can they... haha. so noble rite? can win "noble" prize -_______-"
i'm so glad i'm able to make my parents proud just like my brothers. well, of course this isnt the first but i realli hope it wudnt be the last and just one of the many many more to come. i just wanna address something which people always say to me when i do a good job or attain a higher than average score for a test/exam. typical people will always say this...
" wah imma! u're so smart!!! "
well, i think that there are 4 ways to be label "smart".
1) People who have excellent brain power (like Kyle XY) and are super hardworking. these people probably top schools or become some high government officials.
2) People who realli dun give a damn in school yet u get straight A's (these people, plz dun talk to me. HAHA. jk jk)
3) People who are realli realli hardworking but may not necessarily have the brain power
4) People who spot topic ACCURATELY
i guess when u say i'm smart, i probably fall to category 3? i realli have to go back and review my work after its tot and i do a lot, alot of practice (revision package, tys, etc). so i'm sure my friends will be able to get what they want if they just,... practice. so to everyone, dun give up hope. wait.
NEVER give up hope. just put in LOTS of time and effort and i'm sure it will pay off, just like mine. remember, CONSISTENCY pays!! ;p
hmm. such wise words. haha. anw, back to the award ceremony, I WAS ON TV!! but i bet most of u didnt catch it cuz i was on the malay news. so cool. i swear i was there for like 2 seconds or something. i dunno y but i was one of the 7-8 chosen to have refreshments with the ministers (Dr. Yaccob and Mr. Lim Swee Say). so cool rite?!! ok la, fine, to me it is. haha. oh well, another day well spent.!
lurrve!
