Average July

Exam results are all out. What I had expected earlier did not turn out to be that good (Not something that I was expecting to get). I am bit disappointed with myself for not doing good enough to obtain good results (being Asian, good results meaning straight A's). I had this bad/evil thinking of not continuing my degree because it is not something that I meant to do but the heck. Just because i could not do well in my pre-tertiary exams, does not mean that I am not up to the standard required to continue my undergrad. But I still get to continue. Unfortunately, as for some of my friends, they could not get to move on to the next stage which is to continue their degree. :(

Some many things have happened for the past few days. Friends are running away from each hiding their faces (even though no one said anything bad about them plus there is nothing to hide from).

I am just going to continue my degree and keeping moving forward. This time, I might have to step up my pace and start working hard already. Even though it has only been few weeks in to this undergrad program, I have already start feeling the pressure in me already. The studying environment has changed. Students are expected to study on your own. Since the degree I took is an external degree program, we are expected not to be spoon fed all the time. We are required to do our own necessary research without solely depending on lecturer's class handouts and lectures.

Apart from recovering from results shock, I have had some good time watching a good movie. LOL. This movie is something not within my "taste". Well that is how I put it in. It was Step UP: Revolution. I said that it is not my taste because, I always prefer to watch something that has some legal "touch" to it. Yep.

Malaysia and Olympic

Have you ever wondered why Malaysia has never won anything in the world class events or games. Well, if you did, you are not alone then. Many of us use to think why our athletes perform so bad in their respective events namely football, badminton, hockey, swimming and etc. Quite often we would loathe the way these athletes compete in their games. If you had conceptualised that Malaysia's international game standard is on the decline, it is justified for you to think so, mainly due the way they perform.

But to come think of it, this is not entirely true. Such things only take place when Malaysia is competing in  large events like Olympic, Commonwealth Games or SEA. When it comes to standalone events like AFC Cup, we have had impressive games before and won them as well. To say that Malaysia is never going to regain its olden days glory is quite ridiculous. It will take some time to reach that level and a lot of effort from our fellow Malaysian athletes, to put our nation's dreams ahead of their personal agenda and try their very best to excel in the sports they embark and also to make our beloved country proud.
