    One of the little joys of going back home to vote - it’s like a mini reunion, ha!

    Also just discovered one of my former classmates was standing for election. Won by a large margin too. Never expected that, wasn’t the best student in school, ha! But really glad for them, looking up some news and they seemed to be doing quite some work in their area.

      This should be great for the students who are concerned about their SPM results, it’s not the end of the world if they don’t do well enough.

        For my former classmate’s case it’s less about academic results - we’re from a quite a reputable high school after all - but more on that they were not the best behaving student in class. Though nothing bad and more of middle-schooler antics, but I remember them as quite a mischievous person, loud, and always ready for a prank. But I guess that was a way of them showcasing their leadership quality even back then.

        But still it’s indeed a good encouragement for young people to not base their self-value on results, also to be less anxious about their future directions, but that they’ll also find their strengths and passion one day.
