The Biggest Loser

Tomorrow is the day all 15 year olds in malaysia have been fearing for about as long as they can remember (although some are just impatiently waiting for next monday to come to past). Kicking it off with Bahasa Malaysia paper, this 5 day exam is the biggest shiznit a 15 year old has ever been through in their life.

That wasn't exactly how I was 2 years ago.

My PMR reminds me of basketball, of how me and Josh would go to the neighborhood basketball court to apparently relieve some stress. After every torturing day, vomiting 3 years worth of information on to pieces of paper, I seriously did not go back thinking about the next paper, ready to hit me in the face the next morning.

I was playing basketball.

Same goes for my UPSR, 5 years ago (HOLY MOLY, i'm old). My UPSR was a whole new level of negligence, I did not study for any of the subjects at all. I mean, I went to classes everyday at school and all but I never bothered to bring back my books to study, blame it on Neopets (the most addictive website designed to kidnap kids' brains and time).

The results? I never scored straight As. For as long as I can remember, I never got an A for BM.

Today, me and Roy got into a slight argument of who the biggest, most epic failure is. The bad thing, I might have just won that argument. Some of my achievements include (in chronological order):

I never got straight As.
My blue house got last in sports day decoration even though I think we might have been the first ones who started working on it.
I screwed up my AFS interview and did not get a scholarship for a student exchange. (Only the closest of close friends know about this, I was too embarrassed to talk about it)
I did not get the tunas harapan award or for that matter, I don't think I got a single award for appreciation of my services in school.
I screwed myself up at the National BK Quiz. (Again, too embarrassed to talk about it)

It's actually quite hard to win me in a fight of who the BIGGEST LOSER is.

But the surprising thing is, if I haven't told anyone of you this, you all wouldn't have guessed how much of a loser I was, right?

That's the point. It's because I don't give up on life (although sometimes I do pity myself for all these epic 'achievements').

I still wake up every morning with a blast of positivity, telling myself that today might just be the best day ever because something great might happen.

Even Walt Disney said he doesn't look backwards for long and keeps moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things.

So to all you PMR takers out there or even people feeling discouraged at all the crap that has been flung at you, KEEP MOVING FORWARD (which also means don't give up lah kan).

All the best to all PMR-ers.
