D-day for Matriculation Students (Fear of Exam Results PART 3)

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?

20^th 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.
