Ok, ok, lets spill the beans

Now I know how exited everyone is with what I got with my SPM results and so on, that on the day, of my SPM results not much of you actually got the chance to see what i really got, not to mention my expression when i got it, well if you want to see my face how i got my SPM results you could just go to Maahad's official website and see the album. there's a pic of me, smiling with a peace hand, you won't miss it.

SPM as we know it, is very important, not to mention very tiring, but the real thing isn't actually about how many As you got or how many scholarships you got (ok in my case, it does matters), but what really matters is what you did to strive for it. What did you do to achieve such results? Did you work hard? Do you think you deserve it? How did you react when you got your SPM results?

All these questions maybe to your perspective is not so much important but actually it all counts to whether you're somebody successful or not. Look at someone who got 13As and everyone "thought" he will do great in his future, that he might be some minister or some VIP or such. He got Bank Negara scholarships and went to the UK to further his studies, but by the end of the day guess what? he gave up in UK, he "thinks" it was too competitive for him that he fall out and end up being kick back to Malaysia (I'm not pointing out Malaysian Uni are bad, I just got IIUM that's great).

Another story from my sis (Nafeesa) whom is now in Jordan, there was this KISAS dude (yes somebody from KISAS) and somehow he/she (I don't know if it was a girl or boy, i just knew he got 13As straight and went for Islamic Banking) couldn't cope with the harsh areas of Jordan. It was called culture shock because he never went to so many hardship in his life. He's the type of person you would see getting straight As, no health or peer problems, getting everything he wants type of dude. But when reality struck, it hits you till you're out of control. This dude's story is a sad one and I pray for his Success.

The point is as I just stated from last year (hopefully you were listening), is that We have to be prepared, always, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. There are some among us whom were very, very, very lucky (I don't need to point out who).

A simple philosophy (since I'm studying philosophy for my SAT's right now), the philosophy of war, which I read from the Chinese "art of war", just to point out we are all at war, one way or the other:

• You are acting at your strongest when your strength is at your weakest.
• When you are superior towards other, then act modestly, do not be too proud like a fool or else you will surely fall when reality strikes.
• Be cautious when you are arriving towards victory, remember victory is only so when you don't have any other threats.
• Learn from others, there experience might be far more valuable than all the preparations you made.

I don't want us o get high As just to fall down crashing again, we have to stay wise yet cheerful with everything that's happening. you might be wondering from the start, how many As I actually got and why in the world haven't i told you well, to spill the beans, I miraculously got 8As: 2A+, 1A, 5A-, 3B+, 2C+. With an excellent award for English as among the highest obtained in Malaysia (just got this letter a few days after SPM results).

It's not important (Considering I have SATs with me now), what's important is how we react towards it, will we be crying? happy? or angry? The best among us is when anything happens to us, we will still be able to give out a 100% when the time comes.

So now it's your journey to achieve higher than this score (although I'm sure you can't beat my TOEFL score, 758/1000). And to do more incredible feats after this. I wish you all the best of luck, May Allah Bless you in your upcoming Exams. Pray for my SATs exam which will be held by the end of May, Wassalam.
