On wednesday, The SPM results were announced. There were tears of joy, tears of disappointment and shouts of excitement. Whatever your reaction was, i suppose most people will have the same feeling: It's all over now.

Frankly, i didnt really think about it before it was announced; instead i was focusing on my bio assessment. i had no expectations, no predictions, nothing - nada. so when dad smsed me to tell me my results, i was like, "whoa, can anyone tell me im really seeing what im seeing?" i totally didnt expect i'll get what i got, especially for history. Suddenly i felt bad for those who really worked hard for sejarah. My parents, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with joy. when i realised how happy they truly were, the extent of their excitement, my adrenaline level boosted up too, suddenly i was happy too. but honestly, that day i was too tired to really show my happiness on my face. I really was, am, happy that i'd made my parents so happy.

But i really dont think that SPM means at all that much. It has given my high school life a quite beautiful ending, alright. But i dont think that it means everything. Even if one didnt score that well in the exams, or didnt appear on the paper, doesn't mean that they've met with failure. The true failure only fits for those who dared not try. Those who have done their best, i will bow to you if i could now to show my respect and admiration for you. :) It takes a lot of courage to really put in your best effort in something.
