Never stop

Good morning everyone.I suppose, its been a while since I properly updated here. Sorry guys. Well, had been sick for the past 2 days. Flu and running nose and cough. Everyone in my whole family like took turns to get it. So, i suppose, its my turn now. But Alhamdullilah, alot better now. (:
So, I had been answering alot of stereotype questions lately (which honestly, i don't really love to answer). People ask me on and off about how I did for Os and I said okay. (: And of course, next would be the 'where are you considering to go?' part. And for time and time again, I said TPJC because I am very sure this is what I wanted. When I was in primary school and meridian jc was just built, I dreamt of going there. Because I wanted to uplive the motto that I had set for myself 'Once a Meridian, Always a Meridian.' But, after I went to tkgs and discovered my interests which is more in the arts and linguist area, I decided that I want something that is more specialised. And being the malay language lover that i was, naturally tpjc was my choice because they offered mlep which is something that i always wanted to do. I would rather do what I want to do than people telling me I had to do this, I had to do that. After all, this will be my future. I had the right to create what I want for myself right?
And people had to just ask me, "With your o-level results, surely you can go somewhere better. You know, maybe Meridian. Its a better jc." And others tell me straight, "TPJC? neighbourhood jc liao. Only 50% can go uni." And some had to just condemn the decision that I made for myself. My parents were okay with it. I am okay with it. So, who are they to question what I wanted for my own future? I create my own future, not them.
Honestly, Im wondering, what's the difference between elit and neighbourhood. Because, I believe neighbourhood can also do well too. Not everyone in the elit schools do well. And in fact, some in the neighbourhood schools can do even better. Thank God, that I have mum who never failed to remind me what I had to hold on to - which is, my values. Because, its not how the school make you, she says, but its how you make the school. If you intend to make yourself stand good and succeed, you will succeed no matter where you are. So at the end of the day, I just shrug off their sinister remarks and replied something short, 'We'll see.'
Of course, at times it hurts when people keep on questioning your decisions. But if you really set your heart and mind to it, then I suppose there's nothing else left right? We should just go on with it. I choose to be where I am today. I don't like it when people keep on clinging to stereotypes of schools and the distinctions between them. Its a decision that I made and I hope people could at least try to respect it. I will work hard to ensure that my upcoming 2 fast years would not be wasted.
Lastly, I want to be able to look back at the end of the 2 years and pat myself on my shoulder and say, 'Yes, I did it! I fulfilled my own dreams!' Because ultimately, I didn't start off as an elite school girl. I started off low key in a neighbourhood primary school. I did well and move on to one of the good schools (I had the time of my life there!). Afterthat, insyallah, jc.
But what's more important, perdulikan kata orang, yang penting ikut kata hati. Yang baik dijadikan pedoman yang tidak pula dijadikan pelajaran.
Love always
