It has been pretty tough. I would say so because I am not a bright student nor a poor student. It is just that my course (Geology) is both challenging and unpredictable. I am totally sorry for not posting any blog for the last few years, but it has just been too busy or no free time at all for me to write anything regarding my study or my life.
Well, if you want to say that study in UM is tough, then how come one of my batch (You-know-who) can get 3.89 for his latest CGPA, while few others got CGPA pf 3.65 and above? I am not that jealous, it is just that it is some sort of "sakit hati" to think about this. Diorang ni boleh je relax study, tapi score gempak jugak. Well, one of my "tabligh" friends always say to me that this is due to their bounties or better known as "rezeki".
To be honest, with my last semester concluded last week, I have been quite relieved thinking that I have finished my undergraduate studies. However, I need to admit that my CGPA of 3.52 is not that great by the way. I just wanted to get that 3.7 aka first class degree ever since I first stepped in UM. Maybe, I should be more consistent in my study.
To put it simple, I only involved with a lot of activities during my first and second year. Not so much in my third year and my final year. I guess it was due to my commitment with my study and my Final Year Project. I will take more about my FYP and my KO-K in later posts. I just want to stick with my academic performance in this blog.
See my CGPA up there? For my last sem, it was just a pure blessing that I got an A- for my FYP. For that reason, I managed to increase my CGPA to 3.52. Cuak + takut + mixed feeling. I know some of my batchmates would say, "Okaylah tu, daripada aku bawah 3.5, bawah 3.0 etc". It just occurred to me that I always wanted to be the best even during my primary school years.
I always wonder, where is that AMER who can beat all the chinese in Form 2 for his final exam? Where is that AMER who can get No 6 in whole batch of Form 4 for his final Selaras SBP? I guess that AMER in me have long gone for no reasons. Partly due to my inability to secure a PILN scholarship. Despite all tribulations and challenges, I did manage to get a few things quite impressive from other people for my Undergraduate batch.
See both subjects above. This is my first time of securing an A+ for any subject that I took in the university. Also, being able to get an A- whilst no other people of my batch managed to get an A and above was quite impressive for myself. Considering You-Know-Who only got a B+. Finally I got to have a sweet revenge upon her, well academically. This is a healthy competition though. I wonder how she could suddenly slip an A under her grasp when she consistently scored an average of A and A- for all of the subjects.
Well, that is life all about. It is pretty complex. Sometimes, we always question why other people can still succeed better than those who have worked so hard and tirelessly, burning the midnight oil and started early revision and doing and memorizing all of the past year questions. To be honest, I am quite "geram" not to get that 3.7 THINGY but like what people always say, life must goes on. You cannot even change the slightest result that you already have. What I just hope is that I will continue to strive and succeed in the future to become a better person not just academically, but also other aspects as well.
Plus, I have received some of the grades already for my last semester. I got an A+ for my Critical Thinking, an A- for my Innovation and Organization and a sad "B" for my Biocomputing. As expected, I always wanted to get an A+ for the Critical Thinking course. Being the only two who got that kind of grade had pushed me to become even more persevered in my future post-graduate studies. For Innovation, I did not know why I suddenly got that kind of grade. Well, life is complicated. That explains for the result. And finally, the Biocomputing, I am relieved that I did not get a B- and below because I knew I did quite poor in this subject. I can say that computer programming is not my FORTE because I am not a tech geek. I will explain the Biocomputing thingy further on my next blog perhaps.
All in all, I can say that I did quite fairly in my exams, although most of the results did not really portray what I have said previously. Seriously, I did get to be in top 10 from my own observation. Being able to be in that group is quite an achievement. So, just be the best and beat the rest.
p/s: I will keep writing more about my life in UM and Geology. SO much to write about it.
