Wave bye bye to 2011 and welcome 2012 with open arm

I do realise I have a blog and I guess The Life and Feelings of LTC would be the best place to put my feelings into words in order to sum up 2011.

Studies
When 2011 came, I knew that SPM is the final battle I needed to face in my secondary school life. I had a total different mindset in facing SPM compared to PMR. There was no heavy pressure on myself to achieve any target for SPM since I set no target for myself. I intended just to go through this year with the same work ethic and mentality I had in 2010,which brought me the biggest breakthrough in my studies. And it worked out well for me. Even though I did not achieve any breakthrough for my studies in 2011, I'm glad that I was able to keep up where I left off in 2010. After SPM ended, I have to say I found it relatively easier to handle compared to PMR. Not that I say SPM is an easy exam to face,but I felt so much more comfortable and so much more prepared for each and every single exam I took in Form 5, partly thanks to my big turnaround during 2010 which gave me so much confidence to face SPM. Never had I felt so enjoyable facing my studies. I'm very proud to say that I did not fell in the midst of hardship and did not let tears flow due to pressure. To sum up perhaps the most boring topic, I just hope that I will not regret with all the things that I had done for SPM this year and pray that everything will turn out nice and worthwhile when March 2012 came. =)

Class & School
In terms of this, there was no doubt I came in 2011 with a satisfied heart. I got exact the class I wanted to be in: 5 Angsana. I felt very comfortable being in this class because the study environment is perfectly suited for SPM. I really enjoyed with the life in this class. Everything works out so professionally. The class teacher,Encik Amir is awesome. And every single 5 Angsanians of 2011 is great. I felt so much more attached to each and every single of you. I felt belonged to this group of people and you all gave me a great year to live with.

As for school,I dun have much things to talk about. I guess being under the roof of 5 Angsana class is best enough to define my last year in secondary school life.

Friends
My biggest appreciation has to go to Ming Yang and Kar Leong. Throughout my life, I don't think I have any close friends until you two appeared in my life. I have to say the year that I really felt so much closer to you guys is this year. The first 2 years in my secondary school life I was more of a lone ranger. Even during Form 3 I din really felt that close to you guys until I was separated from you guys during 2010. People often say you won't miss something until you lost it. It was a huge relief to be in the same class with you two again this year. Thanks for guiding and supporting me not only this year,but my entire secondary school life. You two are my best bro. xD

To Sue Fen as well as Sook Yi, you two changed me into a better self. Despite the misunderstanding in the middle of this year,I felt so glad that we can resolve all the misunderstanding and become friends again. Thank you for being understanding as a friend and always be there whenever I need to pour out my feelings. I sincerely appreciate these friendships.

Kanesh, you have been a patient friend to me. It's great to have you as one of my study partners throughout the year. Gwen,your laugh will always enlighten not only my life but many people's life. A special friend indeed and I love you. =D Chia Xin,it's great to know you. Thanks for all the ride this year. Pauline and Christie,you two are great to be with. Thanks for all the fun time this year. Desmond,Kai Hoong,Jeff and Koon Thong,thanks for all the great time on the basketball court as well as off the court. Wan Jiun,your craziness is the one that I will miss the most about you.

Well,I guess that's all I got to say. It's not easy to get this post done since I really don't know what to write. But nonetheless I'm determined to get my blog posts in double digits every year. Guess I just managed it heh? xD

2011 is history and 2012 is the present as well as the future. I pray for myself as well as everyone. Let's hope for a better and happier 2012.

From TC with love. =D

So called "Singaporean"

Yeah,I know I always treat some people who are academically weaker with this attitude:

TC: Darn,too many silly mistakes,how to get A+ la if it's 91 marks and above? *show the irritating sad face*

Whenever I say this,I'm sure most of the people hate me for that,because they might be thinking "shuddup la you think you are so good arr". Or perhaps some people with low dignity will feel bad for themselves whenever I said this.

Anyway,I'm not going to satirize myself for being an arrogant person here. The purpose of writing this post is to safeguard the true Malaysians' dignity. *remember to cheer for me after reading this post =P*

Apparently,I saw someone writing in his blog saying that SPM is easy. Well,the tone of saying it is full of ego in my view. I guess the so-called "Singaporean" must have forgotten where he actually came from.

Honestly, if you ask me whether O Levels is harder or SPM is harder, I think the answer is very subjective in my humble opinion. Two factors come into my mind when I try to answer the question mentioned above. First of all,it depends on whether you are a Malaysian or Singaporean. Second,it depends whether you are a smart student or weak student.

Let's talk about the first factor then. It is undeniable that both Malaysians and Singaporeans are taking a different examination system. For the Malaysians, it is SPM. For the Singaporeans,it is O Levels. Honestly, when the so called ''Singaporean" said come on dude and dudettes(in Malaysia),get a grip,SPM is easy, I find him to be such a ridiculous person. I laughed,laughed at a person who was once considered a joke in examination(IN MALAYSIA), boasted about how easy is SPM syllabus,like a piece of cake with cream filling. I know people tend to be forgetful,but let me remind you that you were once the person who was shameful of yourself facing smart Malaysians whenever they asked about your marks. Yeah,time flies. You had transformed from a joke into something err...neither fish nor fowl or neither a Malaysian nor a Singaporean,which you considered yourself a class above than the rest of the Malaysians who cried about how difficult the questions are and how stressful the exam is. You have even grown up,taking your O Levels exam like a man,compared to a little mice last time who did not even have the guts to talk about exam with the Malaysian which you considered they should rejoice about how easy SPM is.

To round off the first factor,I feel that you should never say how easy SPM is. Yeah,you might say it is easy because you feel that whatever you learnt for O Levels is way harder than SPM. You do have a point here because you had studied in both Malaysia and Singapore. But PLEASE consider this: IF you have never studied in Singapore and you're still staying in Malaysia taking SPM like the rest of us,would you even dare to say to the smart Malaysians that SPM is easy? You might have the guts to say it,but you know what,there will be no so-called perfect Singaporean standing by your side on this case like what you have now when you said SPM is easy. Those Singaporeans might even look at you the same way you're looking at us,the Malaysians.

Let's move on to the second factor. You know what? I dare not say that I'm academically better than you because there's no way I could compare myself to you when we are taking a different examination system. Kudos and bravos to you for turning into a better student because you completed your secondary education in Singapore. However,I DO HAVE THE GUTS to say that I COULD BE BETTER THAN YOU if I'm studying in Singapore like you. You might be thinking this is bullshit,but I don't think it's bullshit because you have never proven to me that you are academically better than me when you were still in Malaysia. On the other hand,you too could never prove to me that you are academically better than me even if we both study in Singapore,because that will never happen. You said you took your O Levels like a man(even the girls). I can say the same thing to you that I,LIKE MOST OF THE MALAYSIANS,TOOK OUR SPM LIKE A MAN(EVEN THE GIRLS).

To say the least about the second factor,when you are smart enough,you won't think the exam is hard,like how you consider yourself to be smarter than those Malaysians who cried about SPM. No one in Malaysia here claim they are smart because we all felt that our SPM is not like a piece of cake with cream fillings,just like no one in Singapore claim they are smart because they all do not consider their O Levels is like a piece of cake with cream fillings. We,both Malaysians and Singaporeans took our exam like a man.

Yes,you are right that we,the Malaysians should stop pitying ourselves because you consider SPM to be easy. Very true,because WE,THE MALAYSIANS should pity you for taking O Levels which you consider to be way way harder than SPM,because you were the one who chose to study there,leaving your own country. So,good luck for your fucking exam.

Signing off. *gosh,I suddenly feel like I'm a hero to all the 2011 SPM students. OMG I'M SO PERASAN.*
