hmm. Semenjak saya graduate dari Matriks dan bkerja part time. Banyak yang tanya saya, "Matriks susah ka?" "Berapa pointer kau?" "Susah ka belajar sana?" dan jawapan saya "nda juga bah." "*.** ja bah." "Nda juga susah bah." Terus mula la dorang cakap, "Tingkatan 6 lagi susah bah." "Taraf dunia bah soalan kami." " Susah bah orang mau dapat pointer 3 keatas." "Senang bah matriks tu." and I was like "da mula la tu mau mengasi down2 orang. mula sudah mau pandang rendah sama budak matriks." well, sini sama mau kasi bahas la sikit pasal ni benda. saya bukan bangga yg saya ni student keluaran matriks tapi saya tau macam mana saya dan kawan2 seperjuangan buat di sana untuk survive. Saya pasti banyak kawan2 saya juga kena cakap begini. Memang rasa ketidakpuashatian tu ada. Tapi cuba pikir bah, kenapa kami masuk matriks dan kamu masuk tingkatan enam? Malas suda kami mau dengar keluhan kamu pasal "betapa susahnya" tingkatan enam. 
saya bagi la kamu satu perumpamaan ahh. kita ni macam berlumba ba. berlumba lari. smua mau mencapai kejayaan. kamu yg form 6 tu macam berlari 1500meter dan kami yg matriks ni 1000meter. tapi kita ada perbezaan. kamu yg berlari 1500meter, kamu kena bagi track utk berlari. diberi baju dan kasut khas. kamu punya tempat ni penyokong boleh masuk, bagi semangat di sana. kamu kena bagi stiap satu orang tutor khas utk melatih kamu sebelum perlumbaan. manakala kami yg berlari 1000meter, kami disediakan track utk berlari juga. cuma, kami perlu ada baju sendiri. penyokong hanya boleh menyokong kami dari luar dewan sebab tempat dewan itu hanya diberi tempat duduk utk pesaing dan kami mempunyai beratus tutor utk mengajar, cuma kami yg perlu pilih. Persamaan yg kita ada disini adalah kita berebut menjuarai pertandingan tapi dengan condition yg berbeza.
Nda paham? Baca maksud :)
mesti ada suda yg cakap dalam hati aina, budak matriks 1000meter ja ba, tu form 6 1500meter. mesti la susah. well, kamu cuma tgok dr sudut tu ja. macam mana pula dari sudut yg lain? cuba tgok dari segi persediaan, dari segi keadaan sekeliling. adakah ianya sama? tidak kan? begitu la gambaran yg paling senang mau paham.
kehidupan sebagai tingkatan enam ni bukan macam budak matriks. well, matriculation student ni lebih kepada kehidupan berdikari. kami di sana belajar macam mana mau jaga diri di tempat org dan dalam masa yg sama mengekalkan prestasi di kolej. dan kami perlu sebati dengan keadaan sekeliling.
yg paling penting, kami perlu keep on track dengan pelajaran. sebab sekali nda p class, masa tu la ketinggalan yg berabis dan disana kau kena terkejar2 dengan pelajaran. kami ada class dari pagi hingga petang dan dari malam muda hingga malam tua. dan kami kena kasi siap tutorial seperti mana lecturer bagi. kami ada quiz stiap minggu dan kami kena kekalkan pointer utk dapat meneruskan mengajian ke semester dua. dan keadaan ini membuatkan kami senang menjawab soalan masa peperiksaan final. oya, kami juga perlu korbankan credit dan kuota internet untuk berhubung sama family yg nun jauh di kampong.
tapi disini saya mau cakap la ahh. matrikulasi dan tingkatan enam ni bukan jauh beza sangat. dua2 susah. dua2 perlu pembelajaran yg berterusan secara peribadi. yg membezakan cuma sifat org tu ja. most of matriculation punya student ada commitment utk berjaya, daya saing yg tinggi dan kepercayaan diri. macam mana tu? komitmen utk berjaya disini bermaksud sentiasa buat apa yg disuruh, rajin jumpa lecturers dan buat bnyak latih tubi utk mempertingkatkan diri. Daya saing yg tinggi bermaksud terus menerus mau bersaing sama org yg terbaik di kolej dan kepercayaan diri sini adalah percaya yg diri sendiri boleh mencapai kejayaan yg diimpikan. banyak juga bah kawan2 saya yg form 6. ada yg boleh dapat 3.9 lg. kenapa dorang boleh tapi kamu nda? sebab sikap kamu tu yg membezakan, bukan form 6 sama matrikulasi tapi sikap kamu. and lagi, bukan smua budak matriks boleh kasi tamat program d kolej. ada yg kena buang juga. yg bertahan tu cuma org2 yg sanggup mengorbankan masa tidur dorang dan org yg pandai mengurus masa. jan lupa juga, kelayakan utk masuk matriks tu macam mna. jadi jangan la mau memperseketakan lagi benda2 macam ni. kami diam bukan bermaksud kamu betul, kami diam sbb kami nda mau memanjangkan perbalahan serta menyegitkan keadaan. Salam kasih dari saya, Sujie. God bless you xx

Hope to clarify this, and not to bring down anyone.
ReplyDelete1. Those 1500m race you mean, especially to students of STPM, represent a full, compact syllabus being compressed into 4 months per semesters, total of 3 semester. And those syllabus of STPM, are in fact, a year-1 syllabus of degree in university. Heck, some of the STPM Math T Term 2 syllabus (in STPM, we deal with calculus for the whole second term) came out in University of New South Wales' Electrical Engineering Year 3 syllabus. So I can say, in term of "how many lesson do we need to do", we're the same. Lots and lots of subjects (in context for both Matrix & STPM) are compressed in pre-defined amount of learning periods (2 semesters for matrix, 3 semesters for STPM).
2. In STPM, it's much, much harder to achieve 3.9 for science student, yet it's relatively much easier for non-science student to achieve that. One living example is my brother. Hence, that's why most top 3 best STPM students from all states are science stream students.
3. It's lucky that you have tutorial, night class, and full-fledged complete facilities, together with a dedicated college building and classroom, with a university-style lectures. In my place, our classroom are our lecture hall, with only 5 classes per level (Upper & Lower 6), and we don't have a dedicated Maths T teacher. Hence we have to resolve for external teaching from a UNIMAS undergraduate to teach us Maths T for rm40 per month. Some school doesn't even have teacher, hence they have to study by their own. We have to study in extremely limited resource, yet still have to maintain our performance or else we'll be dead by the end of the semester.
4. Not everyone in Form 6 lives good life. I have a classmate who's from Tambunan, and he's staying in our asrama. Imagine living with kids who are younger than you in the same hostel. You have to be a student, and also a brother, and also the guardian.
5. Form 6 is not taking STPM papers alone. We have to do our kerja kursus, which is equivalent to final year project, for every subject that we take. I myself have to do 23 (physics) + 23 (chemistry) + 3 (ICT) + 3 (Maths T) reports, plus with 3 huge projects (Pengajian Am, Physics, Chemistry). And those who are taking arts also have to do their "art thesis". For only 4-5 months per semester, we have to complete this. So, in term of "we have to do this and this and this...", yeah, we're pretty on the same wheel here.
ReplyDelete6. In form 6 again it's not "die hard studying" alone. There's MPP organization, of which you have to be the representative for the whole form 6. And yes, being a president by myself, time management is key, and being ultra busy in certain time is something that I (and any other YdP MPP T6) is used with.
7. Again, Form 6 is not "studying hard" alone. We have to balance our time with extra co-curricular activities, and joining "kawad" is a must in my place, no matter what. Even when there's no kokum activities, we still have to put our hands in helping the school doing other events such as the sports day, festival day, official ceremonies, etc. And again, being the president of form 6, you'll also have to get used to stand in line with the school administrator line, as you are one of the highest-positioned student in the school. Knowing the protocol to welcome VIP guests (such as the chief minister of Sabah, for example) is a MUST.
8. Our "Biasiswa Tingkatan 6" has been fully omitted, sooo yeah. We don't have our "allowance". Dare to stand alone, berdiri di atas kaki sendiri. ;)
9. Oh, and we also have our remote, far-from-civilization form 6 center, which is the Kolej Tingkatan 6 near the SMK Bandaraya.
My intention to comment this post is to make thing straight again, just how what you wanted to be. Hopefully this post will give insights to some of the reader, as studying in form 6 has it's own challenge itself. And hopefully, we can completely stop directly comparing between these 2 options because both of them are way different in many way. ;)
Hai hai, Obrien :) Kita seumur pula ni. :) hee, 1st of all, sa mau cakap tq sebab sudi kasi luang masa baca blog sa. secondly, sa paham bila sa post pasal matriks and orang akan bawa benda ni d pelantaran untuk diperbahaskan xD but, opinion juga kan. saya nda marah. saya okey ja. saya nda rasa tersinggung kalau kau mempersembahkan facts pasal tingkatan enam. saya tidak mempersendakan tingkatan enam ya :) and saya nda juga nda menghighlightkan matriks is better than... . saya cuma mendeklarasikan opinion yg berbaurkan pencerahan. Saya sangat berterima kasih sebab sudi comment juga sebab banyak benda sa nda tau lagi pasal tingkatan enam :) 1st time sa tau ada biasiswa xD elaun kami. hehehe. 250 but kami bersyukur juga. apa2 pun, teda benda yg terlalu susah, ada yg susah tapi nda da yg terlalu susah sebab Tuhan berfirman, beban yg kau pikul tidak akan melebihi kekuatanmu. For real, 1 month pertama, bagi saya yg study science subjects dalam BM, betul2 mencabar tapi dengan kekuatan dari Tuhan dan pertolonganNya, puji Tuhan, dapat juga score sikit xD apa2 pun, nice to know you. BTW, saya ada baca blog kau tadi and yeah, teruskan berkarya kawan ^_^ kita share2 la entry :D kalau ada masa, boleh la chit chat di wechat ka, fb ka xD hehe. btw, All the best untuk Sem 3 :D kasi yakin ja kau boleh dapat 4flat. Selamat maju jaya. Saranghaee kawan. :)
