I'd made some assumptions re the way the Malaysian Chess Ratings are calculated.
Read " Understanding Malaysian Chess Ratings " dated 14th January 2013.
Knowing (learnt during Selangor Juniors in 2012) that Lim Tse Pin(LTP) maintains/calculate the National Ratings, I'd sent him an email for clarification or rather how the ratings are calculated.
LTP replied promptly BUT Somehow or rather, his email reply gave me a flashback of my "short-lived" journey in Pure Maths and Statistics during my A-Level days in Damansara Utama and Shah Alam...many, many moons ago.
...to digress a bit, at 1 time my friends(Shamsul@Adik & Derick@Jingkui) Stats were so bad that we knew we'd failed in our Statistics exams. Jingkui, Adik and I were "confident" that we'd failed badly to the point that the argument was as to who was the "BEST" or, "WORST" failure. To show how confident we were that each one had failed badly - we decided that the "BEST FAILURE" would have to treat the 2 "WORST FAILURE" unlimited Western Food at 1 sitting at one of the stall located between Salleh's Drink Place and Bintang Kue Tiaw(Tony & Henry then were operating from 1 stall under the watchful eye of their dad) in front of the 51C dorm...or was it 69B!
Anyway, to cut the story short - Mr.Samsul (who later on appeared in a TV3 talent hunting competition called Sinaran Passport Kegemilangan or something like that) announced the exam results. Lo and behold the honour of the Best Failure went to Adik. Just imagine, despite failing, Jingkui and I "celebrated" by having 2 plates of western food (chicken chop and fish&chips) each....or was it 3 plates.....The Glorious Failure, WaQAQA!

Vicky Teddy,
ReplyDeleteThank You for your comments.
There can be many reasons for failing e.g. unsuitable subjects taken, inadequate preparations, inappropriate course choice, undeveloped study techniques etc.
I don't know you so I can't give a fair analysis. Where are you staying? Perhaps you can email me at amfa177@gmail.com with your queries.
You must have a positive outlook and don't let the failure bog you down.
The most important thing is to identify what subject/topics which we are passionate about...then you can do well in whatever you do as when you like what you are doing, it not working!
