Belated Review of My 2005...
Finally I did my review of year 2005…though it’s a bit late… Anyway, here is the review in the form of day by day:
1 Jan 05(Saturday) : My 2005 began…
10 Jan 05(Monday) : This is the first day I started working. I worked as a temporarily clerk in a branch office of a direct sales company in Prai (opposite Prai Megamal)…That direct sales company is still very new in Malaysia… My main jobs were recording the sales of salesperson every month to submit to headquarter in KL and counting the products and stocks in office…
FEBUARY 05 was quite boring… Days were filled by working only…Nothing special happened…
9 March 05 (Wednesday) : Tonight we attended the prize giving ceremony of the National Chinese Education general quiz competition (Penang State)[槟州区全国华教常识比赛]. The competition was held in previous year when we were in form 5 but the result never announced since then…But few days ago, we received the calls from organizers to attend the ceremony…and the result was even more surprising and exciting… My group won in the group category and I myself got runners-up in individual category…My best partner, Citan won the champions in both categories…and the other representatives of my school won a lot of prizes too… This was undoubtedly a great victorious night for Jit Sin!
-- The cash prizes I received from this competition was quite a big amount too…haha… I regard this success as my last contribution to my beloved Jit Sin high school in the area of all Chinese quiz competitions…I will never forget the moments we went to various places to take part in the competitions and every honours that we gained for the school over past few years! However, the more important and thrilling day would be the next day!
10 March 05 (Thursday): SPM result released today… I am so so so glad and relief that I got 9A1 and 1A2…Though so close to get straight A1, I still felt very satisfied and happy with my result…as after the exam, I was not very confident of a few subjects… Nevertheless, of course I felt a bit disappointed for unable to get A1 in my favourite subject, Chinese…It is a language that had accompanied me growing up and brought so much honours and joys to me…Anyway, we all knew that Chinese is the toughest paper to score A1… I had tried my very best for it and I had to pay for my mistakes when answering the paper… No matter what, this was still a celebrated result! A result that lead me to my current life here…
At night, we went out to have a gathering at Green Apple coffee house… 2 Asean scholars, Selau and Zhao Xiang who came back from Singapore to get their SPM result joined us too… Today, I was very glad and joyful!!! Thanks you God for blessing me a satisfied result…
25 March 05 (Friday): My 18th birthday!
11 April 05 (Monday): I checked that I was chosen to study matriculation programme in Kolej Matrikulasi Kedah (KMK).
23 April 05 (Saturday): I attended the JPA scholarship interview at USM… I tried my best to be relaxed and to give my opinion whenever had chance to speak…Must thanks forum in Recom for giving me a lot useful information… I was quite well-prepared for any topic that will be given by interviewers… However, I didn’t hope much for this scholarship…I was grateful already to be given the opportunity to experience this interview as I realized the fact that in Penang, it was quite hard to get this scholarship if SPM result not straight A1…and some more I was shocked when I knew that I would in same interview group with the penang ‘toppest’ SPM scorer and a top student from my school…
7 May 05 (Saturday): Today was my last working day… Though this job was not always fun, as sometimes it was quite busy and tiring…I had gained some experience of working and handling various situation…and at least it had filled my long holidays…
15 May 05 (Sunday): Today was my last violin lesson… I had no choice but need to stop the lesson as I would study matrix outside my hometown… I can’t have time to finish Grade 8 for violin…I hope I still will have chance to complete it in anytime in future…
16 May 05 (Monday): Today I opened a new chapter in my life…For the first time in my life, I studied outside my hometown and lived in the hostel… I reached KMK in the morning and joined the long queue to register…There were around 30 ex-jit siners who studied in KMK also…
26 May 05 (Thursday): The exciting moment occurred as early as 3.30am… The final of 04/05 season European Champions League between Liverpool and AC Milan kicked off… I didn’t know how they could get the permission from administration of KMK to let us watch the game at TV room after 12am…but we just grabbed the opportunity to watch it… I watched this match in neutral position…Just don’t want to miss another great final… Er… No need to talk much bout this match already… It was one of the greatest classic match in football history! Despite going down 3-0 at half-time, Liverpool performed a miracle after that…Liverpool equalized the score in second half…the atmosphere was so tense then…and everyone in TV room was in shock…and I still can’t forget Dudek’s successive miraculous saves of two close range shooting from Shevchenko in a second time…Amazing… Then, Liverpool completed the miracle by winning in penalty shoot-out and emerged as European Champion… That’s the fun of football game… Football makes me believe miracle is not impossible…
6 June 05 (Monday): This was an unforgettable day… Today I knew that I succeed to get JPA scholarship!!! To me, it was a miracle… I never expect it… Before that, I lost my table tennis to malay in my house selection matches…so embarrassing and disappointing…totally off form that day… But how incredible the fate was… I got a very good news after that...

However, during that time, I still don’t know which country I would be sent to study… The ‘best’ still yet to come…(haha)
15 June 05 (Wednesday): After a few exciting days and then feeling became more and more anxious when I still didn’t receive any offer letter from JPA for more than a week… I received the letter today…and the word ‘INDONESIA’ made all other words in the letter seems like didn’t exist… After knowing I managed to get JPA scholarship, various hopes and dreams that never came into my mind before, appeared in my brain…and now, it shattered all of my dream… I even dropped my tears secretly in my room in KMK… That time I thought the fate was very cruel… It seems like make fun on me…
( but now, after studying foundation here, I realize I am deserved to go to such low-profiled country…I must admit I am not among the top students in Malaysia…)
24 June 05 (Friday): After in uncertainty whether could accept the JPA offer or not… today I made the final decision… GO!!! When my dad talked to me bout that last night, I realized that how deep were the wishes of my parents that their children could have chance to study under the sponsor of their employer, JPA… They worked hard for government for so many years… and this was the reward that they wished to get from government… and furthermore, from the advice of some doctors, studying medicine degree in Indonesia doesn’t mean that worst at all…( Friends here, Right??!)
26 June 05 (Saturday): Today I officially left KMK… Thanks you all friends who had a brief farewell with me… The days in KMK were so memorable… Especially I enjoyed a lot the true meaning of friendship here…
4 July 05 (Monday): I registered at KUTPM, shah alam… Another chapter in my life had been opened…
JULY 05 – DECEMBER 05: I returned to the normal studying life…Here was a totally different studying environment compare to previous school… and the progress of the course was quite rapid and didn’t plan well…plus the competition here really damn serious and high quality… sometimes I felt like lost direction in studies…I had to admit I was quite struggling here…and sometimes, I even started feeling tired of being here… But… coming here make me realize how far is the gap between me and those real top people from various part of Malaysia… I began to know how poor are my study lifestyle, social skill, point of view towards life, mindset, maturity of thinking… oh…and my poor English (whether in writing, speaking, diction, vocab and anything relate to English la…) So, I regard improving myself in various aspects as my resolution for 2006 lor…
31 Dec 05: My eventful 2005 came to the end… As a final conclusion, the achievement of SPM result and JPA scholarship covered all the other irritating or disappointed tiny troubles… They made my 2005 could be considered as great and successful…
Year 2005 let me believe again that miracle is possible in my life…
