Backlash!

Well..this entry is going to be bout me and my academic career and stuffs so if these things turn you ultimately off, please alt-F4 and cya again =)

OK..I to begin off, I really think i'm an underacheiver for the past few years. Why do i say so ?PSLE score of 255..supposedly top 10% of the cohort at 12 years old.Now ? At 18 years old,a mediocre student at an ordinary JC with sub standard results. Need i say more ?Ppl may argue that PSLE was a fluke and not a good gauge of one's ability blar blar blar..But i seriously beg to differ not just because of myself but a collective evidence of my many students who did very well at PSLE continue to excel in their secondary and tertiary education throughout the years.

I mean if they can do it why cant I(we if applicable) do it as well? Its definately not VS's fault for my own academical de-valuation.I'm dead sure it is my questionable desire and hunger that catalysed my own downfall.I have to admit that in my sec sch days, sch life is like a bed of roses, everything is so smooth and enjoyable.It has sumhow inhibited my inner ambitions.I was like of shocked now when i remembered i was only targeting to get L1R5 of 20 and below and hope to get into a JC with my O level results.I mean that is so not me man! =(

In the end didn't do very well for O level, got posted to MJC.Blar blar blar..fastforward to 2-3 weeks before prelims.Maybe it is the competitive nature of JC life or just this JC or my class..anyway who cares which is the one!? Anway,I get to see ppl mugging in sch like ****** even though it is still weeks from the exams.This common sight that i see in sch regularly has induced a fresh rush of desire and hunger in me.Never in my life in the past 18 years have I really thought about my future.All along, I have been living in my own world"Dun worry la deh, everything will turn out fine in the end.If its nto fine, its not the end." Now i know its not true anymore.Things will never work out if I dun work for it.I immediately got down to work.Althought my mugging journey didn't started very smoothly but with the help and motivation from frens i got it on track eventually. Drafted my targets and dreams and set them in stone soon after.The rest is history i guess.Although i took a dip in form in the last 2 days but i'm confident i will recover by sat and get my dream back in sight.Will I ?
Now with only 2 days to go before the start of Prelims, i can ill afford to waste anymore time on procastinating and other non-productive stuffs so decided to come here to blog and remind myself and others of that very fact.

After going 1 big round, my point being I think my "life" only started 2.5 weeks ago.Only till then, I know what I want in my life.Mind you, I dun wan to be an ordinary guy who just going slog his life in the office and bring hom e peanuts.I know I'm destined for bigger things and I'm damn sure I got the potential to do so.Now its the time to fufil my destiny.2 days to my 1st hurdle and 2 mths to my final test.Althought it maybe kind of late to discover the need to study hard now but still, being late is always better than never. So ppl, beware!The real me is just rolling out.As an old saying goes,a beast is at its most dangerous when it is wounded.So better watch out! The new and real me is born! =)

Hope this entry can inspire other sleeping giants(you know who you are) to "wake up" and start dreaming big and do your best to fufil them cuz you are destined to.
