Lessons From Others

Recently I got my Driving licence(finally..)-Yeah!!!
So now i basically do nothing now....except duduk melanguk depan TV.
If i want to pursue study, the session will only starts in June/July. Part time Job? I suck when it comes to taking direction from other people.

So, in the emptiness of my life these days, i reminisce my school life.
in so many ways, school is plain hateable- what's with all the school regulations, the homework and all. But now that I'm no longer a student, it's kinda funny to think about how school life was. I mean, on what level of life you can claim to be worried about the piling homework and Assignment, but still have time to chat and hang out with your friends?

Then, in the spirit of reminiscent(cheh..), I remember the person that i admire most.
This person was my senior, but left to pursue study in X college on the 22ndSeptember2007- a few months before the STPM exam... First, it sounds stupid(konon la). I mean, leaving for diploma a few months before your STPM exam? common la Bro... You have been studying for your STPM for about one++ year ma...
But the following year, when all his ex-classmate(who happen to take STPM, unlike him) take their STPM results.. WHAM!!! their made it..With Striking colors-Their result was marked with the redness of failure.That's when his choice to abandon STPM for diploma sounds clever.
It then came to me- He made his choice quite late. He could choose to go to college right after his SPM,instead of leaving to college after a year studying for STPM(and then abandoning it).
But, its also one of the fact that made me respect him. He dare to make a choice, which brings quite a drastic change to his life.
On the same year that my senior leaves to further Studies in That Particular college, I also try out for the same college(at that time, i was already a few months in Form six).. I was accepted for January 2008 sessions, but i declined.
The main reason why i declined the offer is the fact that i was too scared with the prospect of living alone in a foreign place(what a Stupid reasons, i know). Besides that, i was too overwhelm with my ridiculous thought- i was so convinced that the only reason I am interested with that particular college is the fact that my senior and my friends(my ex-classmates during my SPM year)was also studying in the same college. With that, i continue studying for STPM...
This year, when I got my STPM results, I kinda regrets not accepting the college offer(sobs..)
So, taking the lessons from Mr. senior-who-left-STPM-for-College, I conclude my long crap(excuse of a story).
1. There's nothing wrong with making your on mistake, but you don't live long enough to make your own.. So learn from not only your mistakes, but from others as well(in this case, my senior mistakes.)
2. Dare to make decisions. Sometimes, when we're making decisions, we will be confronted with other peoples opinions. Some may object our decisions, whereas some may try to influence us to change our decisions; all the while using 'Love" and "Care" to camouflage their true intent. Don't fall, Just stick to your decisions, cause for better or worse, you'll be the only one taking the consequences of your decisions.
3. Don't write a super-long post, cause in the end, your eyes will be tired and puffy(for staring too long at the computer screen).
4. Still reading eh?? habis dah....
