JYSim for jobless-yokel Sim

So I guess you’ve heard and witnessed enough of diffeent states of joie de vivre upon receiving your SPM results. I’m not trying to boast or prove myself to be ’stable’ but this is a frank and honest account about my feelings and reactions upon receiving my result slip.
I queue up in the line, which seem to be moving very quickly. My turn, I displayed my IC, signed, and the prefect in-charge sorta hinted ‘hey, i guess you got (censored for diplomatic reasons)’ ‘oh yeah?’ (in an unenthusiasted way). He pulled out the generous KDU file with my slip inside and handed to me. I glanced through, grunted, slightly smiled, and walked away. I didn’t feel as if my wife gave birth to 4 kids at once (Ying Jing as an example, he was jumping around with his slip). I didn’t feel like winning a lottery or horse race (Zi Yi as another example, plumming onto the ground again with his slip). I didn’t feel like winning an Olympic medal (nobody for example). I didn’t shout (now that’s very abnormal). I didn’t run around laughing like somebody from Tanjung Rambutan. Worse, I didn’t even care about how many aces I got.
Naturally, not spotting your extraordinary reactions, reporters won’t swarm up to you and ask ridiculous questions which they knew the answer anyway. And that’s why you don’t see Jun Yi in any daily the day before (I swear Jun Yi is not boasting).
So, hypothetically, if, i mean, really if, someone asked me on how I manage through my studies (note I use ‘manage through’ not ‘breeze through’), my only answer would be taking lots of tuitions. Basically I think tuition is a healthy thing as you don’t just go there and listen to the teacher talking crap, but you crap along with your teacher and friends as well. Talking, especially to close buddies who are willing to listen (well, as a 1119 A1 scorer we should use ‘lend an ear’) will reduce your chances of becoming a nerd. Group study also helps, because you got to crap with your friends as well. Those who kept themselves locked at home for a week straight needless to say will become mentally-deprived and therefore you see people burning reference books and exam papers after SPM (which was classified insane by the Society of Phychiatrists, Malaysia (a made up term anyway)).
If you’re wondering what the heck Jun Yi was writing, please be reminded that it is usually not your fault. Jun Yi had gone through those unspeakable days and therefore is classified insane as well.

- Go for straight 1-s, not a combination of 1 and 2 -
