First semester result

This morning I was so eager to take my result to see whether I can maintain my scholarship or not. My friends got their results yesterday 9am onwards although it was a Sunday so I thought today also can take at 9am.

However, I was wrong.

When I entered the resource centre, they asked us to come at 2pm to collect our results. Before I left, the exam unit called me and told me a bad news. I was unable to continue my scholarship. This news, I had been expecting since before exam. I wasn’t ready for my exam because I was too playful and what I studied can’t enter my brain too.

When I told my dad about this, he was upset about this. I knew he will but I did my best during my exam and I wasn’t feeling well during my English exam. I know all these are not the reasons for me not getting good results. I should have studied hard since the first day of class. But it’s all too late now…..

What I can do now is I must change my lifestyle. I cannot ‘lepak’ at night, waste time ‘facebooking’ and many more. Hope next semester I can get good results and continue my scholarship for my third semester. Although I know that second semester onwards it won’t be so easy life anymore but I only taking 5 subjects compare to SPM 11 subjects! Hope won’t be so unlucky to get lousy lecturer like last semester.

The Story So Far…

It has been a long time since I wrote the last blog. I was busy with my assignments and studies but now it’s all over-for this semester. Now I’m having about 2 weeks semester break and it is so boring because I have no where to go. Unlike during my secondary time, I can easily call a few of my friends out for a movie because we all are staying at the same area. But here in college, friends are all around Malaysia: Penang, Johor, Negeri 9, just to name a few. That is why it is hard to ask them out for a movie. “Why not calling out your old friends?" you might ask. I want to, but since all of us are studying in different colleges and our semester break time are all different, I can’t ask them out.


There is a guy, my old best friend, whom I spent a lot of time guiding him for study for SPM last year but didn’t get good results, he is the only one who is free of assignments and studies because he is no longer a student. He asked me out for a ‘tea’ (coffee actually) at a McDonalds’ near his home yesterday and I agreed. To go there I need to spend about 20 minutes drive but for him, he would have to spend 3 minutes drive. It seems like he never realise about this but I didn’t mind (although last time I were). It is not easy to ask him out for a tea so I didn’t mind the driving. At first sight of him, I wanted to tell him “you’re getting fatter.” (sorry if you read this Open-mouthed smile) but I didn’t say it because I find that our friendship is no longer that strong anymore, I can’t joke with him because he seemed to be like a little stranger to me. You don’t joke with strangers, aren’t you?  I found a quote inside my diary that attracted my attention, ‘many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart’’ written by Eleanor Roosevelt. And it is so true………


There is no one in my college that is as good as him, as caring as him, as friendly as him. But at least I found some good friends there. On the last day of exam, I moved into my closest friend in college’s room-Wee Lim, since my roommate and his roommate went back home after exam. But both of us had to stay for another 2 days for some reasons. I had problems with my roommate and so does he. He wanted to move into my room next semester since my roommate planned to move out to single room but too bad Wee Lim is a senior, he cannot change his room but I can. So this is the first time staying with him and might be the last time staying with him. On the first day after exam, our foundation club-FUN club organized a trip to Ulu Bendul in Negeri Sembilan, a waterfall tourist area. Recently there is an epidemic of rat urine disease in waterfall area. So, many of us reluctant to come but our lecturer who organized this said we can stay on the bus. At the end we still went to play in the water although some stayed.

On the second day after exam, Wee Lim, Arjun (the indian guy above) and I went to Time Square because Wee Lim wants to take back his phone after repairing in Sg. Wang. So many Sony Ericsson phones have problems so does mine, but I like Sony Ericsson, so what phone should I choose for my next phone? Never mind about that. We had lunch in McDonalds’ in Sg. Wang. This is the first time I order McSpicy Deluxe and it wasn’t as nice as I expect, maybe I should go back to what I usually order-Big Mac, yummy! We watched The Expendables but we were not satisfy with it. At first we wanted to buy Salt but the earliest was 4.30pm but we bought The Expendables and so happen after the show it was nearly 4.30pm so we bought the Salt movie. This is my first time watching two movies non-stop with student price. It’s so good to be student Smile. I thought this time coming to Time Square I can try the Cosmo indoor theme park but Wee Lim afraid of all these so it’s too bad. Next time if any of you going to play, I’m in!


Exactly one week later my second semester class starts. Can’t wait to know my juniors, haha…. I suffered a lot last semester and also played too much because I enjoyed college life-being freedom. I don’t think I can get GPA 3.7 or more for this semester so I don’t think I’ll get scholarship next semester, and my dad has to pay the scholarship money Sad smile. Next semester I have to work hard, cannot play too much. Hope I enjoy the next semester with all my senior friends which I most probably won’t be seeing them later this coming semester. Good luck Joe Hahn! Smile
