Have you watched Fast Furious 5?
In one of the scenes, the bad guy says,
"They will fight back hard when they have nothing to lose.
So I will give them something. Something to lose.
And that is how I control them."
After scoring 2 semester of four flat, I was having a strong foreboding that I will trip in the 3rd.
No matter how easy the syllabus or how I work like I usually does, I just have a hunch that I will have get a perfect result.
I know God likes to play with me.
And yes, I have been less intense (yawn) for the whole semester 3.
Can't really blame anyone, if I study 24/7 I will definitely ace it.
But losing something you have requires ample anaesthetic.
Having a 2 semester of 4 flat makes me yearn more of a perfect four.
There is definitely pain when I saw the result.
A pang to not getting what I want, again.
People like to say it is good enough already.
Some others say they scored even lower so I should just STFU.
To put it in (some of)your shoes, lower down the calibre and think it this way.
Imagine, you have passed the passing mark of 2.00 by a whisker, for 2 semester.
You don't have any fail subjects as you have struggled and managed to get through the 2 semesters.
However, coming to the last semester, you flunked a subject for let say, 2 marks.
and you failed the CGPA. Now, you have to repeat the whole semester and lag behind your associates by half a year.
That's pretty much how I am feeling currently.
If I have nothing to lose initially, then this wouldn't be the situation.
//below are few real lansi stuff, considered by some lah. If you don't like me then you better don't continue reading.
Superlative :
Anyhow, I guess that means see you in Setapak.
The place I have been for 16 years, and counting.
Not all hopes are lost.
I still have nothing to lose.(it's a good thing in case you don't get it)
