Ok.. when i was supposedly working at my dad's shop.. he met his ex classmate.. hu is now a accountant lecturer at Temasek Poly.. den they were toking.. n my dad kinda told me he used to be in a class at St Patricks (which was the RI of the east like 30 yrs ago..)where there were like 2 president scholars.. n lots of smart alecs.. yah.. so actualli wondered how the hell he survived in such a stressful class when he was young.. hmm.. n he was telling me initially he was like the odd one out in his class.. coz he was the onli one that did not finish his university degree.. n onli had his A levels cert.. which was useless alone..yah.. so he was kinda disappointed.. den he started working for my grendpa.. n took over the business.. n yah.. he realised that it isnt that bad of a thing that he did not get his degree.. coz when my dad met wif his friends recently.. they were all doin as well.. haha.. but his the onli one doin business.. the rest were lecturers n MPs.. kewl eh.. haha.. so yah.. this realli changed me perception of my dad.. to me he used to be kinda rude n egoistic (sumtimes).. coz he's kinda lazy n make my mum do alot of work that women arent supposed to do.. carrying heavy stuff n all.. but yah.. now.. he's my role model man.. haha.. he's not egoistic.. he's just a real hard worker n has made many personal sacrifices to raise a family comfortably.. gosh.. dramatic change yah..
The As u get in skools do NOT determine wad the future lies 4 u.. instead its real hard work n resilience.. there's a chinese proverb " hang hang chu zhuang yuan".. as long as u r willing to sacrifice n compromise.. n work real hard to achieve u goals.. there is almost nth u cant achieve.. reach out for the stars.. no matter wad job u do.. u can be successful...like Ramesh (Muthusamy Ramasamy) n cherie (rmb them?? ahhaa) said.. KEEP GOING! YEAH! haha
P.S. (not my name).. the reason y im writing this coz i've got a very depressed long time friend (since P1) hu's kinda very very disappointed wif himself for nt doin as well as he cud in his studies.. so yah.. jia you..
