cheating

on 1 night after training... I had a conversation with some friends...

have you ever feel so angry and jealous of your classmates when your tests/quizzes/assignments came out with low marks???
1. jealous - because they get higher grades than yours...
2. angry - because they get higher grades in wrong ways = CHEATING aka COPYING

I remember this one really damn well because it was SO CONTRADICTING with my principle back then... it was 2004... a friend once quoted "YOU'RE A TOTAL IDIOT IF YOU DONT CHEAT/COPY WHEN YOU CLEARLY HAVE THE CHANCE"
that was 2004's story...
when I was struggling with my carry marks during my 2nd year of degree... a friend told me what our favourite lecturer told him... "BETTER COPY OTHERS' ASSIGNMENT IF YOU CANNOT FINISH IT ON TIME SO THAT IT WOULD NOT COST YOU YOUR MARKS"(*this is not how the lecturer conveyed the message... but this is what I understood from the conversation... the lecturer might be meaning to tell something else, but you get the point~)
another friend told me how his lecturer used to tell him that "YOU ARE LESS A FOOL IF YOU CHEAT IN YOUR TESTS, BUT YOU ARE AN EXTREME FOOL IF YOU CHEAT, AND GET CAUGHT RED HANDED"

so is it okay to cheat? it's an open-ended question... no answers are right, nor wrong~
it all comes back to INTEGRITY~
but integrity 24/7 wont bring us anywhere... at least that is what I thought...
sometimes, we need to take the back door...
it's easy~ TO KILL, or TO BE KILLED(*I really love this phrase- expect more of this later on)
when you cheat, doesnt mean you are wrong... but it doesnt mean that you are right either...
but depending on the situation, the cheating might just help your ass out...
I'm not asking people to start cheating... especially the students - including me~
but trust me, we are already cheating in the first place...

I don't know about you guys... but I'd like to conclude that CHEATING IS OK IN A MODERATE WAY~


p/s - quoted from someone... "I'm less interested whether you are cheating or not in your test... what's important is how you are going to apply everything you've learnt in your life"

my story part 2

...
so here's where the story continues...
...
..
.

the bus arrived at 10.45pm... I was so angry at that time~
the problem was... I need to book for a flight ticket asap... but I couldnt do that until I'm certain that I could make it on time... and the late bus arrival made the situation worst... no!!! the fact that I've a mobile phone with no battery was what made it worst!!!
I did succeeded texting Pulah to help me book for the earliest flight available though...
when I look at the speed of the bus... I was certain that the time was behind me... but then the bus stop for like 30minutes at Kulim... oh my God!!! there were only 5 passengers... but why wait for 30min??? the bus was late at the first time... shouldnt they rushed to catch up with the lost precious time???
at 1st... I planned not to fall asleep with a stupid motive - so that I can check the TIME~
but my body just couldnt take it and I slept...
arrived at Bukit Jalil at 5am and quickly grabbed a cab... destination : KLSentral...
but the driver told me that he can drive me directly to LCCT... optimist, I took the offer...
on the way to the LCCT, I've been checking time like hell... wishing that I'll not be late... and I've already made a Plan B... should I came less than 30minutes b4 6.50am, I'll leave my luggage and asked anyone of my friends or cousins to get them for me... but if time is with me, then everything should be fine...
arrived at the LCCT 6.05am... phew~
problem solved? so close... yet so far~
when I entered the hall... the time was actually 6.58am!!!! STUPID CAB!!! reset your damn clock!!!
I was helpless...
I started to think that maybe I shouldnt go back... or maybe I just should wait at Penang...
then... the optimist aura came back to me...
went to the nearest ATM machine and check my account balance...
when the figure came out... RM450++ !!!!!!!!!
I was shocked!!! But then I realized that I didnt even leave my IC number to Pulah...
I was relieved... I withdraw as money cash as I could from all my active accounts and buy a new ticket...
and everything was solved~~~~~


that surely was one of a great lesson that I should learn and remember to death... we might have the perfect plan... but God will always have the final words... always have a back up plan in no matter what you do...
