The Clean-Up


Yet, the only thing we should seek in one.
.
.
.
The fact that you burn your cake, sucks. The fact that you have to wash your burnt tray, double sucks.

The fact of not succeeding, sucks. The fact that you have to clean up the mess you made after not succeeding, double sucks.


If you think suck is all there is in a failure, it might be true.
Because what we should be looking for in a failure, is in the clean-up.


The clean-up.

You may curse the recipe while washing the burnt tray.
You may blame the oven while washing the burnt tray.
You may find the over-caramelised batter that's burnt on the burnt baking tray.
You may realize you put too much sugar.
You may reduce the sugar amount next time.


The clean-up.

You may grump.
You may blame.
You may think.
You may evaluate.
You may learn.


The mess.

Is dirty, as well as it is juicy.

Today's Lesson

Hello, there.

It's been a while since the last time I posted in this blog. I just finish my final test. I think I did pretty well. You know, I feel good about it, because I had prepared for it (knowing I have to catch up bcs I didn't do very well on mid test). But when the result came out............... well, well. Not quiet as I expected. Or should I say, it was bad. My scores are not below standard but are below my standard. Especially I felt confident about it. Hmmmm.

Well, this semester, I admit, is a little bit messy. There's many things going on and some of them are unexpected. In spite of those, I did already realize that I had to catch up on my scores, and did put efforts to it, and failed, Almost on every subject. "Why does this happen?", thus, I ask myself.

 I think it is pretty strange if I already put my best effort and still fail. Then I remember the almighty Allah SWT. Of course. Allah has cursed me. Not curse, maybe just, a friendly reminder that I have forgotten him, at times, Astaghfirullah. This is why. Maybe it's because I've been ignoring praying times, sometimes. That's what I figured.

Just tonight, I told my parents about my bad grades. They've never complained about my grades, unlike some other parents maybe. But tonight, they do HAHAHAHAHA. Just realize that my parents never complain about it because I never really get bad grades on entire subject. It is officially proved that all parents are the same when it comes to school grades. :)) They literally said "Nanti gak dapet undangan, lho" while I never really know if they expect me to get one. Now that I might just not get undangan because of the bad grades, they suddenly bring it up. Well, well................

Not really the point tho. I meant to write positive post so I'm gonna stop the negativity. So, beside that, my dad also give me evaluations. He said that I might have been off my head lately. I lost my focus and very lacking of time-management. He said my morning routine is a mess, and effects my whole day. OMG that's is, dad! God has cursed me because I'm ignoring praying time because I have bad time-management! Thanks for pointing it out for me!

Anyway, the whole point of the long uninteresting story above is how important evaluation is. Self evaluation, and other people's response are important to make progress. Now that I know I have time-management issue, I will manage my time better. But I would not know what should I fix if I don't evaluate myself and get evaluation from other, would I?

I think the teacher in my school should learn about the value of evaluation, too. After a really bad test, we don't get to know what we did wrong, We are left mistaken forever. Or even if we are curious about what we did wrong, some of them are not in the mood for discussion. NOT IN THE MOOD. Omg. When will we ever learn from our mistakes, dear teachers. Just because all of the studying ended by the test, doesn't mean the learning process is over. Evaluation is part of learning.

That's it. That's enough complaints for today. And that's the lesson for today: Evaluation. Yippie!
