The Exam Journey Part 1 - Responsibilities vs. Exams

Just finished my exams not so long ago..

All 4 of my papers are well -spreaded from 9 May till 14 June. I thought I had a lot of time to revise and be very well prepared for them.. haha.. but then.. Wrong!! because:

  1. I was involved in camp committee.. doing communications.. which required at least 2 months or so preparation before the camp..
  2. Then during camp, it is so difficult to study man.. all the fun.. haha.. i tried though..
  3. North had a restructuring; new group, new challenges, new responsibilities, new directions.. aiya.. everything new la..
No complains.. I enjoyed what I did..

But in my heart, I really wanted to do much much much (i think you get it) better for my papers in comparison to last year.. I thought that since this year my papers are so well-spreaded, I have more time to prepare and may score for my papers (last year, my paper was one after another within the time frame of 1 week) but then again, I cannot afford to spend all my time studying and forget about other areas too.. so I thought "aiya.. wasted la.. try again next year.. sob"..

But then I remembered how God blessed me in my O'levels and Polytechnic years.
  1. I was a 30+ pointer.. never score about 55% for 95% of the papers i took since sec 1.. haha.. I asked God for 18 (L1R5).. haha.. God gave me 17.
  2. Barely make it through the first semester as an IT student (Wrong choice). However, my results improved every semester in comparison to the last.. manage to get some As.

So then, I decided to pray, "God help me to study what is necessary for the exams". Then I started preparing".
