~表彰式~

Today is 表彰式 also know as Awarding Ceremony according to my electrical dictionary.I'm not even sure if its a grammatically correct English word but well,if the dictionary says so it must be,I assume.

Anyway,I was invited to attend this ceremony because I was told that I was entitled to two awards,namely the award for perfect attendance and the award for perseverance of good results in my course.However,when I went to this ceremony I was shocked when I was not called out for the perfect attendance award.

I still came back with two certificates though,the other one being my diploma cert,which I'm entitled to when I graduate from this college.However,I was not satisfied because I was told I could get the award for perfect attendance so I asked the office people and was told that because I'm a foreign student I'm not entitled for the award.This award is given to those who had perfect attendance for 5 years and in my case since I started in the 3rd year,I'm not entitled to get that award even with my full attendance.Bullshit..

If its that case you guys shouldn't have asked me to check my attendance list to make sure we are given that prize.You guys should have told all foreign students earlier so that we can always 'ponteng' when we want to.Although I'm not saying I would,but I wouldn't have forced myself to go to class when I broke my finger the last time and still got to school with bandage and cast etc.Well,some of you my think there's no point getting over angry over small things like this,some might even say this award is not important at all.Sorry to say,I mind.A LOT!

It's about getting what is rightfully yours.This award might not affect me now,but I heard that in Japan society every cert counts,especially when you are looking for a job,a perfect attendance award will be quite important.Its not that it'll be the key-point of getting you hired but at least it helps.But most of all,I'm angry because I have been deceived to believe that I could get the award and in the end wasn't given anything.And when I asked the office guy,I was told I should be thankful I got the award for good results.Shit you lar,I got that award is not because of your mercy man,I got it because of my own hardwork duh..

Man,this is a really unhappy 表彰式 I've experienced.And who say Japan is good??To those people in Malaysia reading this,the grass always looks greener on the other side...Try to face those Japanese who speak extremly nice to you with a smile on their face but trying to shrug of responsibility all the time,you'll be grateful that at least in Malaysia,people are quite direct in showing their dislike of you etc...Man,I'm pissed.
