aim for the stars

seperti biasa after dinner, i would straight away sit in front my laptop, doing my work. yup2. takde la nak singgah2 tgk whats on tv ke or what. but last nite, my friend called me telling me how she really wanted to do her phD in cornell. and that conversation had struck me. how i wanted to pursue my studies [although my CGPA is just cukup2 makan je nak hidup], but considering there is a huge demand for statisticians, i hope and pray that with my CGPA yang cukup2 makan je nak hidup ni, bole la nak hidup.
which triggered me to go find some universities that might offer a scholarship to do phD. so, i searched on the net for the top50 universities ranking. and aimed for the no.1, cambridge. [aim for the stars, cause even if u fall, you'll land on the sky].
my dad went to harvard and obtained a business program certificate and to me, that's a big achievement. and i thought, if my dad can do it, why can't i?
yep, all my life, i've been a mediocre. just average. simple plain jane. but looking at my friends who had the opportunity to do their degree overseas, and some masters overseas, i too would love to have that opportunity.
so thanks to a call from a friend, i am working my asses off to get wat i am aiming for... the stars..
