Losers will never remains losers!

I really wonder where did i go wrong for my prelims? Did i not study for my subjects, especially for my maths? but after reflecting for 2 whole days, i come to think of it as God is speaking to me from this trials of mine.

But i really really do hope he has a purpose for the results i received! And i definitely am sure that GOD WILL MAKE A WAY WHEN THERE SEEM'S TO BE NO WAY! maybe he wants parry to learn from this setting and not make the same mistakes over and over again.

I do not deny the fact that i was initially very depressed and disheartened with my poor performance, and that got jealous that everyone around me seems to be doing alot better than me.

People often says," Reap what you sow," how true is this saying in my context? i really really don't know. What i have in mind right now is to focus my time and energy on this last lap of the race. And i pray that GOD will show me the leap of faith in this last one month!

P.S- Drown all the heart-rackening incidents, and pray that bad dreams will go away, a new story unfolds each day.

When tough times come!

With the large mountain of books piled up in front of me, i recall the moments when all the graduating classes are waiting anxiously outside the hall. I guess some might be feeling very stressed, some just treat it as a mock big O. The other group is the one with the mentality of just prelims lo. So whats the big deal?

As I prepare for the papers i have each day, and the hectic mugging schedule i tend to take time to stop, paused and ponder at what's the main reason that drives me to study and not give up hope? Do you just give up on your weakest subject when you always tend to get a F-9 for all the common tests and exams. If you give up, you are telling yourself then you are less capable of what others are. Okay, put it in context of why others are able to make it or not yourself? Maybe its the time spent on each subject? your interest for that particular subject? But i guess, one of the main reasons for this sort of outcome is, you are not putting in enough effort. The key to doing well starts off with SELF, do you have the basic discipline of sitting down for 6-8 hrs to study!

Different people have different ways and methods to study, using different approaches they tackle their tasks!

Someone credible once said this to me," Parry, some people are born smart, they just need to study for 3 hours to understand the entire concept, but some people are not! you will have to put in double or triple the effort in order to get the concept in your head. Work on this, and I'm sure you are getting warmer to your goal!

Have been sharing about how important the role ONESELF plays in each situation, But i guess the changing factor here is ONESELF!

With a determined mind, and a pure heart and soul, getting things done efficiently should not be of a problem!

Great trials are opportunities for greater triumphs..

Indeed, when we face pressure and stress, we will be able to perform better, but the key factor here is to get over with the trials and arrive at the final destination to scream our lungs out for the sound of victory!

Live each day to its fullest, move on with no regrets. And when you fall, pick yourself up from the stressful setting to work towards your ultimate goal in mind!

Bet on it! - Decisions, decisions

Everybody always talking at me
Everybody trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead

Did you ever
Lose yourself to get what you want
Did you ever
Get on a ride and wanna get off
Did you ever
Push away the ones
You should’ve held close
Did you ever let go
Did you never not know

Chorus
I’m not gonna stop
That’s who I am
I’ll give it all I got
That is my plan
Will I find what I lost

You know you can
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it

I don’t need
I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
Who means what I say
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it

How will I know
If there’s a path worth takin
Should I question every move I make
With all I’ve lost my heart is breaking
I don’t wanna make the same mistake

Did you ever
Doubt your dream will never come true
Did you ever
Blame the world but never blame you
And will never
Try to live a lie again
I don’t wanna win this game
If I can’t play it my way

Chorus
I’m not gonna stop
That’s who I am
I’ll give it all I got
That is my plan
Will I found what I lost
You know you can

Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it

I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
Who means what I say
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on me

Oh hold up
Give me the room to think
Bring it on now
Got to work on my swing
Got to do my own thing
Hold up

It’s no good at all
To see self and not recognize your face
Out on my own is such a scary place Ohhh
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do is believe
I’m not gonna stop
Not gonna stop till I get my shot
That’s who I am
That’s my plan
Will I end up on top

You can
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
You can
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
I wanna make it right
That is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
Who means what I say
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
Bet on it
You can bet on me

P.S- felt that this lyrics of this songs are kinda meaningful, and its speak about oneself, hope it will help those who are also having a major exam crisis!

The greatest enemy is yourself!

Usually we tend to make a lot of plans when the busy, tight and hectic study periods draws near. Most of the people i know, they will choose the alternative which is to cram everything together. And their main focus is to accomplish the entire subject by a certain due date. It never fails to make me wonder how these people can let the subject take control over their time. They would choose to study till they finish the topic. But the matter of fact is that their brain cells are not taking in the extra input of information.

Make full use of every opportunity to strive and to attain where you have already conceived in your mind! Was studying at the national library along with huda and widya this morning. Felt that its not only us who are doing our best to get us where we intended to. Nevertheless, the competition will be tough, but with a never say die attitude, i guess that will give an edge above the rest!

Someone in the teaching industry once told me this, "studying is actually not that difficult. Its just you the textbooks and the tys." Therefore, i feel that in order to really get the whole chunk of info into the brain, the best way is to study smart. If you feel like you are not gettin it in your mind, paused and go for a breather. Do not continue to mug any further. Give your body and your mind a good rest. Bring yourself away from the books for a break of abt 10-mins or so? It would definitely help alot!

I wont say its easy because one can lose oneself easily, but the important thing is that we just got to do the right thing so as we wont have any regrets later on. Instead of crying over spill milk, do something about it while you still can. For myself, prelims is just a few days away. Really really do hope that my prepareness will bring me somewhere! Good luck to those who are mugging, and maybe the infomation shared earlier can be of some help to you!

Reap what you sow

"reap what you sow", i seriously dunno how true is this saying. Is it just some old traditional saying which has been passed down from generations to generations? What if i do not achieve my expected results after all these time? Guess its all these little worries that tend to bring me down.

Nevertheless, thanks alif and widya for committing to study with me in school almost everyday! maybe what Mr Chan says is true, we can do a lot of planning and dream about that. But sitting there and staring into space will not do any good! Remember about someone telling me about two different person.

Person 1 has this personality of getting into the game in the mud and sweat it all out to achieve what he intends to. On the other hand, person 2 is the direct opposite, instead of going into full force to play his part. He will choose to stay clean and continue to sit on the fence and be a substitute. Maybe at the end of the day, its a team effort, but i guess the main goal of this comparison is shown very clearly. Person 1 & 2 might get the same results but at the end of the day, its person 1 who gained most of the experience by getting into play.

Seize the day, make full use of every opportunity to get into the books and head for that original goal and purpose that you have in life!

Counting down the number of days definitely do scares me! Hopefully, i will be able to conquer this battle victoriously and bring home the results like how i did for many other mountains that i had to climb!

Life is just like a race

Was sharing with widya about this analogy this afternoon. Guess it never fails to perk me up and bring me back to reality? As we all know that there is less than 40 odd days to O levels, how are some of us responding to this? Are we still dreaming about the dream or making our *dreams real? Can see that a few of my classmates are gearing up for the final lap!

Someone once said this to me" Life is just like a race"

In this case, you are the athlete participating in this hurdle race. The objective is to get over all the hurdles and head for the finishing line! Now, try to imagine the hurdles as the different obstacles in life. They are not placed there as white elephants, but instead for a reason. Put it as trials that will test you. Okay, now bring yourself back to the grand stadium in the Olympics. Have you ever crossed an athlete that forfeited a race just because he or she could not bring himself up to continue with the other athletes?

The answer is strictly a NO! After many years of training and practices do you just want to give up because of a big hurdle that you are afraid you will not be able to cross? My guess will be most of you will want to get up and continue to run.

O levels maybe a big hurdle for many of you guys out there and that includes myself! Treat it as a trail put in place to test your capabilities. The end is still far away and there is much more to run! Do not stop to pause , get on with what is in your life. Even though some may be stumbled by these hurdles, I feel that they had grown much in their different areas of their life while overcoming these big giants!

Therefore, when facing a difficult time, do not panic, as you are already geared up. Just put on your thinking cap and try your best to get over these hurdles. It does not matter what step you take but whats important is that you will still be able to arrive at Rome. After crossing each hurdle in life, you would have cross a new checkpoint in life. Hope this analogy will help those who are facing with the different types of trials in life!

Live for the moment

Have been thinking about this phase for a few days already. Am i like the foolish man who does not have a particular target in life? where i will just hit the bull's eye- achieve nothing in the end. Guess i should learn how to count my blessings like how people around me tells me.

While having lunch with alif, juwita and widya, this topic of living for the moment was brought up. On the surface, you seem strong with knowledge and confidence, but you seem to lack something!

Guess at the end of the day, will i want to regret putting in so much effort in the first place when i already know what will be expected? Call me foolish to start the entire thing, think you have showed me that its only a one-sided thing, we should not have gone further! Nevertheless, thank you for changing my perspective and how i look at things? at a different angle.

Someone great once said" you are so near, yet so far!"

Indeed, as i reflect through the past one month, recalling those moments when i said i will want to give it my best, make full use of the last bullet on me! " Procrastinate, Parry!" continue doing so will not get you anywhere, you plan so far ahead, yes, plan and carry out! Maybe what Mr Amos says is true, your heart and soul alone can do wonders! not talking about determination yet! moving along this train of thoughts, the distance left on the railway is just that minute. Replenish the engine once it runs out of coal, do not let the engines go cold or lose steam when you are nearing the destination. Make do with the forty odd days, and carry out the study plans.

*Dreams are what you make them to be, whether they can be fulfilled is all up to the "play maker"

Someone i really admire and was inspired by once told me, " Parry, you have all the ideas and all that others will want to have, but you lack focus! Put that into play and you get your complete dream*

Do not just dream your dream, Live your dream!

"How desperate you want your A1 is definitely all up to you!"-Make things happen, and hopefully i do not drown into the "live for the moment" kind of life. Amen!
