Of Results And Morons

Ah.
It's that time of the year again.
Results of certain exams taken in 2007.
And what do we have this time around...
...a top scorer with 21As for SPM.

IS THAT CRAZY OR WHAT??

That dude, to me at least, is nuts!
There's absolutely NO POINT in taking 21 subjects.
All it proves is that he's a bit of a psycho.
To quote my mum, "He's a jack of all trades, master of none" or something like that anyway.
Universities will not care about the number of As you get, all they care about is whether you meet their requirements. Or not.
OKAY fine, I guess that dude will probably get this amazing scholarship where he probably won't have to pay even ONE CENT.
He'll probably have sell his soul to the Devil for that though

Whatever it is, I don't consider that an accomplishment.
I consider that insanity!
He needs to be checked into a mental asylum!!!

Forgetting that, congrats to my dear cousin SHUYIN for her AMAZING results!

Almost every year, after results are released, there will be stories in the newspapers of students boasting about 'studying for 1001 hours per day or sacrificing TV for the whole year,' or something equally stupid.

Seriously...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ALL ABOUT? Shows how self-absorbed that person is.
I'm very sure that they're exaggerating. NOT IMPRESSIVE.
Be more humble. Say you've studied really well, or that you had allocated your studying and relaxation time wisely. Or something along those lines anyway. I am pretty sure that's closer to the truth than 'I SPENT MY ENTIRE YEAR LOCKED UP IN THE ROOM STUDYING 24/7'.

With that being said, this year's top scorers are actually not so boastful. Thank god for that!

And another thing...why is almost every top scorer an aspiring doctor/surgeon/pharmacist/anything related to medicine? Aren't there any other fields they're interested in? Business? Graphics? Politics? Physics? History? Or are those subjects too 'uncool' for them to express interest in? I don't see that many medicinal practitioners around, to tell you the truth.

Yeah yeah I know I'm ranting again, but who cares, I rant a lot ;)
