It's kinda weird that hashtag is used for the title of this post but sometimes innovation is needed to make things better. When I was listening to radio this morning, the radio DJ said that SPM and STPM examinations began today and it reminded me on how I've gone through the same examination back to 2005.
I could remember that I've to sit for many papers in three consecutive weeks before I declared the independence day began in my life after SPM'05. During the said period, I've sleepless nights and lost my appetite as well. The pressure and stress kept building up in myself and I constantly told myself that I need to excel in this examination as I could not afford to fare worse than what I did for the trial examinations.
Finally, the last day of examination has arrived and I rewarded myself with a scoop of ice-cream from McDonald. I believed that I did well in SPM'05 and now I could only leave everything to God to decide on my fate in the examination results.
After waited for 3 months, the results were released. Although I didn't score straight A1s (my time), my results were outstanding too. I was really proud of myself at that moment. Despite having good results, my scholarship application to further study overseas was rejected by Public Service Department (PSD).
I continued with my form sixth studies and took my STPM in 2007. In 2012, I finished my engineering degree in one of the renowned research universities in Malaysia.
To all students that currently sitting for SPM'13 and STPM'13, good luck and all the best in the examinations. I believe that your future will be same or better than mine and I hope that my stories can be a motivation for all of you.
