She kept asking me about my results today... So fine, I did well enough to graduate... but I didn't hit the CAP I wanted to, and neither did I manage to do Hons, which was actually one of my aims when I entered Uni in my first year... But as Nic said... with all the crap that happened in these past 3 years, I don't think anyone else could have been through all that and still produced straight As... I did work my ass off this entire sem though... I guess it just boils down to the fact that I just lost interest in the subjects...
Studying something you're interested in will probably be very fun and all... and you'll remember better... but trying to study for something you lose interest in... well... things just won't stick... Me taking LS was just because there was nothing else for me to do in Science... If they had a degree in Forensics.. Hell man... that would have been much more interesting for me... But they didn't... all they could offer was one measly Forensic Science module in Yr 2... Which I actually went for and sat through the lectures... eventhough lectures were 3 hrs long, on a Friday evening no less, I wasn't complaining, cos I actually found the module interesting... But there was so much more that could have been taught... Just that there was no time...
It just gets irritating when you tell your parents your results, and all you get in return is... "No A ah?" Or even when you do get an A... "Why the rest no A?" That's just plain irritating... I'm no genius you know... If As were so easy to get, I would have gotten them already... And yeah, so I can't do Hons... Not like I still have the interest in doing it anyway... I'm not going to put myself through another crappy year in NUS just because having those 3 extra letters behind your name will give you a better pay..
I'd rather get paid less but do the work I want to do... It's more for the experience than the money...
And now that I want to try something totally different and new... I'd rather not tell them yet... cos unlike me, they're not willing to take risks... I am... I still am rather selective with what I risk... but I do try to factor in everything before deciding... whether the risk I take is worth it even if I dun succeed... If I can't justify that risk, then I'm not as willing to do it...
Just like my little ebay thing going on now... sure... I can take risks all the time and try to sell just about every model I can find.. but factoring in the costs and estimated profits/loss... some are just not worth getting to sell...
Even my investment risk profile is high... but... only because that amount I used is an amount I have no use for at the moment... and I'd rather try to see how much I can make it grow, rather than leave it in a bank and make a measly 1.0+% interest on it annually... Why make 1.0+% interest annually when you can make 10+% interest annually?
I'm taking the road less travelled... I realised I usually do actually... Even back in pri school... when everyone was choosing Temasek Sec from Temasek Pri, I went to Tanjong Katong Sec... when everyone was choosing NCC land, I was choosing NCC sea... When everyone was scared of biology... I went for it... And most of the time... I was happier...
Its just that this time... its gonna be an uphill task... and I'd better put on my climbing shoes... cos the view at the top is what I want to see... its getting there that needs the work... My future counts on this... and I'm not gonna waver this time...
