Today will be the day where
people who never bothered if you're dead or alive all year long will be reminded of
your existence and will suddenly come out of nowhere to care about your wellbeing.Why?
20th June 2017 is the
D-day that all matriculation students of batch 2016/17 feared the most and
also anticipated for.Words can’t describe how I feel right now as I not only
have butterflies in my stomach but a whole zoo maybe in my stomach right now.
Prepare yourself for the upcoming
storm as your phone might as well get jammed due to the uncountable number of texts and calls that you might receive
tomorrow.(TIP:turn off your read receipts and also hide your last seen for the day so you can keep all that ‘kepochis’
at bay)
As mentioned in the picture above,people
will only ask or say
"How much is your CGPA?"
"So less ah your pointer?"
"Aiyo,not 4flat ah?"
"Matrics cannot score 4flat means waste
only la."
"You know my sister’s-brother in
laws’s-uncle’s-grandmothers-neighbour’s-daughter was a matrics student too but
got 4flat you know.Bla bla bla....."
"11 months in matriculation waste
only,better if you did form 6 je."
"With this pointer all cannot get
into university la."
They will just how so much to say
and it might just go on forever but no matter what they say,ONLY YOU would know
what you went through and the sacrifices you made.
You were away from home for
almost 11 months with little breaks in between.
You had to study like a maniac in
the fear of not being able to catch up.
You had to complete your
tutorials,kerja kursus,etc in time and also study at the same time.
You cracked your head on projects
that gave you sleepless nights.
Group projects might have caused
you to have fights and in the end you might have just completed it alone.
RM250 a month was never enough
that we had to ask our parents for extra money at times.
You stayed up late to study peacefully,
you skipped meals to save your budget as there were many things that had to photocopied
or printed.
You had to borrow your neighbour’s
PSE answers as you didn’t have time to complete it on top of all the homework
that you had.
You had to complete your
tutorials or risk having your Pb marks to be cut.
No matter how late you slept, you
had to be in class or lecture at 8 a.m.
You had to fight to use the
toilet even when you had ‘cirit-birit’ cause the nasi lemak you ate didn’t
agree with your stomach but then suddenly the water pipe doesn’t work.
You had to withstand the screams
of your roommates whenever they were watching Kdrama and you were trying to
study for the quiz that was to take place the following day.
You didn’t have mom to wake you
up each morning or dad to tell you to go and do your homework.
You had to face Charlie who loved
lurking around in your rooms leaving you with memorable scars.
You had to cram up so much in
your head till you felt like giving up.
Unlike your other
non-matriculation friends, you were confided inside the college grounds for 5
days a week until you could finally go out on outing day but then all students
were barred from going for outings that particular week.
Your matric card got blocked when
your got into college after 7 pm when in reality the road was so jammed.
Your clothes that were put to dry
in the ‘ampaian’ got stolen, even your Maggi cup got stolen.
Well,all those things stated
above was just a little rant out of the common things most matriculation
students would have faced in throughout their matriculation life but it may be
different for some as each of us would have experienced different things.
Those 11 months in matriculation
was filled with sheds of sweat,tears and even blood at times.No matter what
results is,be proud of yourself to have survived matriculation.
Results will be out in less than 8 hours so all the best everyone.
May your results open up your pathway to your next journey in life.
May your results open up your pathway to your next journey in life.
