Exams Are Finally Over! Yay!

Tanggal seluar dan baju,
Mari kita menyambut Merdeka
MERDEKA, MERDEKA!
Sudahlah [tag]Merdeka[/tag]!
Saya happy exam sudah habis…..

I’m done with the bloody exam….Bloody exam-oriented education system….Is there a better way of evaluating students? I really believe there’s a better way….Let me crack my brain to devise some way in the next few days….

As I have said a few times before, living in a hostel during the exam week and the week before is scary….Everyone is studying….I’m okay with people studying, but I get scared when people study 15 hours per day…From 8 to 9 in the morning all the way till 11 at night….Some study till the wee hours in the morning, around 2 am….

Honestly, I’m stressed out not because of my own exams but because everyone is studying like crazy….I’m stressed out because of the rest…So weird….

To me, exams is not a competition with the rest. It’s a challenge with your own self….It’s a measure of your own ability….You are fighting against yourself to score the grade, not with the others….

I talked to some China guys from [tag]Raffles Junior College[/tag] (Singapore’s top JC) who were studying like crazy

“Yo bro, chill la….No need study already….You’ll surely get the A”
“Cannot….”
“Why? What for? The A is already in your hand….Enjoy life”
“No….Need to score 100”
“For what?”
“For position”
“Who cares about positions?”
“I care” - WTH??!?!?!?
“But you’re A-level result slip won’t state that you have scored 80 or 100”
“Well, if I score 100 in all my exams, my teacher will write that in my school graduation certificate”
“………”

Suck man….People are studying like crazy…..Not to score the A but to score 100!?!?! WTH?!?!

What has happened to this world? Have we taken perfection to a whole new level?
And does getting 100% help us in our future?

Scoring well in exams = Doing well in life?
Is that equation true???? Is it?
