Its Autumn



Although Malaysia is an equator country, and there is no seasonal effect, no winter, no snow, no summer, no heat. But still, we kind of experience those effect, like we feel the scorching sun during April~June, we feel cooler air during Christmas, and now, its July, leaves on the trees are turning colour, from green to red, then to yellow or orange, and finally fall down to the Earth. Hence, its "Falling Leaves" by Adeline Yen Mah - The memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter. (seems like I'm doing publishing here)

Look at the trees, those pictures are taken today, at KBU International College. Beautiful aren't they? Those red spots in between green leaves, looking just like fruits but actually they are dying leaves, getting ready to leave their mother tree and being decomposes by bacteria, contributing back to the tree in form of minerals. This is the life cycle of the leaves, but what about us?

Lets take today's test as example, before the test, i saw people relaxing - happy go lucky, I saw people studied intensively(last minute though), I saw people sleeping(I was 1 of them), and etc..
After the test, I saw people leaving the room full of confident, I saw sad faces, I saw faces of relief and I saw people blaming themselves for doing stupid mistakes.

But before that, ask yourselves a few questions : 1) Did you study and prepare for it?
2) Did you give it all your best during the test? 3) Did you realize your mistakes after that & learn to avoid it in the future?

If your answer for all 3 questions are YES, then you should be proud of yourself. Even if you get low marks for that, there is nothing to be ashamed of, for you had done your best. But if your answers are NO and you get low marks, you deserve it. You shouldn't be blaming anyone, i.e "the questions are so hard", or "the time allocated is not sufficient la" or "Ms Effa & Ms Kong never teach that la" etc.. Instead, you should take this as a lesson and re-evaluate yourself for what you did; not doing exercises given, not paying attention during class, last minute preparation and so on.

So, for those who think they didn't do so well, think again (sounds so familiar heh?)
There are always room for improvements and although the Mock and TEE exam are not far away, they're not too soon either. Lets all do our best and lets make a promise, we're going to meet at Australia next year OK?

Tony really need to do better this moment onward
