How did I do it? Seriously Im not not so sure how?
Well, im not a nerd or geek or etc. Im depressed most of the time, sometimes suicidal and lonely even when I have friends to keep me company. I was bullied and cried everyday till no more tears left to shed. I am laid back. Watch TV 24/7. Even i study in front of the box. Im always a slow learner but managed to stay afloat. I write poems mostly -whenever im sad. oh yeah, I hate school. Id always get up late and go to school late(but never got penalised/detention). I was a librarian. A slacker but finishes his work on time(sometimes late). I study last minute. And I seldom pray to god.
I have a very bad and abusive father. A quiet mom. A so-so but popular brother. A sister wt some problems. My house is a living hell and sometimes I get so mad and bored.
So, how on earth did I get very good results(straight As). Im from Malaysian public school. My school is a popular one there and kiasu(typical Asian demanding type). I also did some extracurricular activities. Was top in school(dont know in entire country) for history. AND Im not bragging. Im puzzled at myself cause I really dont know. Im in med school now. My parents were brainy and is my family but Im the dumbest of them all. My class tests were mediocre(B average).
Pls dont cite genetics. And I have indian blood(my grandparents) but it doesnt mean im supposed to get good grades. I sincerely know that Im really dumb. So how? And Im an average at med school but ppl are expecting excellence from me, even the dean himself. Im a BIGGGGG time slacker.
So,
Answer: Maybe you really earned it! Don't put yourself down! just because you think so lowly of yourself doesn't mean that you didn't earn those grades. I am going through a crisis of my life as well, similar to yours... and I wish I could get grades like yours... but instead, I fill the void by hanging out with actors/actresses/ and high-ranking politicians to fill the void and make myself feel special.

Do you think exam results are overrated in Singapore?
There are parents who give their children endless tuition just to make them do well in school. Go and read what a student write what she thinks about the kiasu parents, and the often wrong views of results.
http://www.xanga.com/exoir/552882734/delusional-views-on-what-exam-results-do.html
Answer: lol. I guess so, but you can't blame those parents for behaving that way; they just want the best for their children, and if they have the means to do so, why not?
Argument #1- Good results is not equal to smart kids, because hardworking kids can get good results, and so can lazy (but) smart kids.
Argument #2- Exams are overrated in Singapore. Yes or No.
#1- Well, I agree with the girl on that basic point of hers; but you see, all parents want their child to do well, and I she's angry that her parents are on to her back because she got into a "good school". So unless she's trying to tell people that she's a smart girl and doesn't need to study to get good grades, then she can complain about her parents being on her back, but if not, then she should just shut up and study more so she CAN do well.
Why?
#2- results are overrated in Singapore, YES, because the government emphasizes on good results because good results will get you in good schools, good schools will give u a higher chance to get into a good uni, and graduate with good results that will determine your future (i.e. Good job). Its the whole stupid cycle for better things, because basically, its the whole survival issue- the early bird catches the worm, and this 'worm' is what the parents want for their kids- to excel and be ahead over the rest.
The issue of "overrated exam results" is a tricky one; its not that parents want to be kiasu and make sure their child is getting the best; its because of the increasing standards of affluence and the widening income gap that are ruffling the feathers of the concerned parents about their children's (and their) futures.
Why is it people view results as the "key" to having a head start (and thus better future prospects)?
The answer is simple- because its the only thing that can measure one's capability quantitatively. You think employers care more about one's qualitative than quantitative aspects? They don't have the time to- they'd rather look at their results to see how capable this person is. Saves time and money.
So in conclusion- yes, it IS overrated, but the thing is, what can anyone do? You can't do anything, so, live with it lor!
