Student pass extended - 3 years
I made it! Finally I'm pursuing a degree, banking and finance. Someone who is at the brink of failure doesn't mean he has no future in tertiary education. God answers prayers if u pray sincerely, wholeheartedly and admit your failure.
I had been agnostic for the past few years until when i received my A's result. At that particular moment, I believed God is among us, tentatively listening to our woes and laments. However, sincerity is the key factor, in my opinion. I prayed for forgiveness and seek another chance to study in Singapore again. And there, God gave his answer. A sweet whisper of "Yes" through the envelope in which its contents hold my future. I had never experienced overjoy and happiness with tears in my eyes before, not even when i was accepted into CJC, not even the day I scored straight A's in Primary School exam and Sec 3 exam. But this time round, the letter of hope gave me the sensation and feeling of it. It's totally extraordinary, at one instance you seem to be crying sadly, but deep inside your inner feelings, it expresses your long awaited desires, joy, elation, and confidence, all in one.
Imagine you had been showered and bombarded by people around you, asking which uni are you in, are you in the same uni as theirs, when are the classes commencing, what's your plan, aren't you going back to Malaysia, have you considered this, have you considered that? I don't perceive this as an insult or degrade, rather i envy my friends going into NUS, SMU, NTU. If I'm given a chance, I'll be glad to tell them " Yeah, I'm in the same Uni as yours". Of course, I don't expect myself to vie for a place in the top 3 uni in Sg. So long as i am still in the same country as the rest are, I see myself as comparable to the rest once again. (Please take no offence of my wordings.) I see them as a form of strong support by my friends and family.
But, most important of all, I brought back the confidence and hope of my family. Everyone congratulated me, my Grandparents, my parents, my uncs and aunts, and my cousins. I felt something different from their smiles, something which I never did or should I say, I didn't give a second thought on what they are hoping for. I realised they too hold on to a strong belief and hope as my parents always do, that I will be successful, sort of a glory and achievement to the family. And so prior to this, I will make good use of this oppurtunity, never will I let it slip through again because I have a strong motivation force, I have a goal, I have my family.
By the way, I haven't received any replies from NTU, so God bless and by a twist of Fate I might land into NTU.
To my best of bestest friend, Alvin, best of luck in your Industrial Engineering blah blah blah course.(too long to memorise) Guess that ur engineering course involves physics too? Hopefully your physics level will be on par with your maths. Forget Mr Loh. No prata shop, we are going into big business, and you have my word we will set up a business, with me as your financial adviser. May your satay business monopolise the whole market. Keep in touch always no matter which corner in the world you are hiding.
