2008 ASEAN PRE-UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS
We refer to your application for the above scholarship and regret to inform you that you have not been successful.
It hit me in the head. My mood instantly shattered, and I could hear in the distance the sound of a door slamming tight shut. The alternative path of my future has suddenly disappeared. I guess I'll be educated locally. I was sort of expecting it, but there was the glimmer of hope inside me when I saw the letter which was addressed to me. At least I did grab hold of the opportunity but I guess I'm not good enough. I can understand why: I did everything last minute, and too undeserving of the scholarship (and I broke a rule).
Wow, this is a major bummer! =( It's like a slap in the face.
From another point of view, this is a wake up call. I guess this is a lesson learned. Hopefully I will learn from it. I thank you guys for the support you gave to me and I am sorry for breaking this bad news to you. =(
On the other hand, wish me luck for the running race later. I am doubting my own abilities; it has been so long since I last exercised consistently.

I don't even know what to say to you, so I won't say anything :\ Only one thing:
You shouldn't feel like you're "not good enough" and all that. Take this as an opportunity to challenge yourself to do better and better or something like that..
Ok.
:)
You'll be fine. Just make sure you get some form or other of after-school education, as you wil.

Thank you for your good lucks you gave me, whenn! =) I'm sorry if this news sounds disappointing. I'm rather depressed that I wasn't able to secure this scholarship but I guess that's how things are meant to be. Anyway, there are pros and cons for getting that scholarship, and to stay here and study.
Yeah, this is definitely a challenge from now on. I need to better myself. =\ Sometimes, it's tough and I just feel like giving up and not bothering about it anymore.
I haven't been prioritizing my schoolwork anyway. My bad... =(
I definitely will get pre-university education. Besides, I still can get to study for "free" here since I'm a local. =)

I'm sure you'll be fine anyway - you're a clever chap!!

Hey TopChamp! It's alright, I'm fine now. I don't mind studying here actually, it's just that I'm quite disappointed that the opportunity is not given to me. Don't worry, I can adjust as I have a backup plan. *evil grin*
Hi claudie! I guess what has gone is gone and I have to move on. Soon, I am going to sit for my O Levels exams and then I'll be planning which subjects I will be taking for A Levels and which college will I enter. I shall leave that till later. My upcoming "project" is to just study hard for my future, important exams. =)
Cool! I'll check out the meme you have tagged me to do. =)
I sure hope so, Terra Shield! =)
Sorry, theaudball, but to me, the failure to secure this scholarship is like an eye-opener to the flaws which I need to work on (namely procrastination - this could've killed my chance of getting the scholarship since I did the application at the last minute). I was quite upset about it at first but I guess it was just to give this scholarship to more competent and qualified students. =\
I do hope that exciting things will still happen by attending a local sixth form colleges here! =P
