trying to regain my balance after a fall.
i failed my TP today. =(
at first, the feeling realllly sux, just feel like crying. as my sis aptly puts "huh? jiejie also will fail one meh?" (a view echo-ed by some of my boys too). case in point. i've never really failed at anything that remotely seems like an exam. (ok, just once, a physics test back in Hwachong). i've stumbled along the way, gotten less than distinctions, but i've never once had any exam result that screams "FAIL".
what happened? well, its easy to blame the weather (the sky started pouring very heavily just as i went on the road and visibility reduced to about 20m). but truth is that i'm just not good at it enough. yet.
actually, deep within me, i knew half-heartedly that its highly likely that i fail, even before i took the test. but there was chance of a pass lah. thats becos i'm quite aware that my motor skills e.g. hand-leg-eye-brain-coordination is quite bad. yea. it aint realistic to generalise my almost perfect exam track record to something thats of this nature. when it comes to paper exams, i know i'm in full control (can come fully prepared, jus have to be hardworking) and i do know that im quite intellectually blessed to be able to handle most harder than usual questions. but traffic conditions and weather aint something i can control, coupled with my poor coordination. the combination is fatal.
i feel much better about it now. as my wise daddy puts "没这么容易，不要紧，下次再考。练习越多越安全。" 'tis true. its better that they fail me now than me failing in the future and never having the chance to try again.
on a more cheery note, it seems like i can do well in exams that require psychomotor skills too.... i've got a DISTINCTION for my Grade 2 ABRSM Piano Practical Exam. :D
2 what say you?
