O Levels Results

Haha.. Congratz to Eileen for getting a B3 in her A.Math and a B4 for her E.Math! I am quite pleased with her results, I must say. Mei Yi got B3 for both Math papers. Good for her!

I didn't expect that 5 yrs after I collected my o levels results, I was sending sms to encourage ppl before their results came out. Trying to recall Jason Lim's teaching, trying to tell them not to worry etc. Ha.. I wonder if I helped.....

Through the smses, I recalled the feelings I felt when I awaited the release of my o levels & a levels results. I also recalled what happened on the day of release.

For O Levels,

After the last paper and before the release, it was a mix of study (1st 3 mths), play and constant worries about what my results would be like. During the week before the release, the worries subsided cuz I felt that nth I do could change what the outcome was.

After the last paper, I remember joking to Jason Lim that i wld return to Swiss to sweep the floor if I didn't do well...

On the day of release, it was a happy occassion, full of anticipation. Happy that we met classmates whom we parted since the last paper. Antipating what our results would be like. First, it was the meeting up. Then we gathered at the school hall and listened to our principal make some speeches abt the results of that year. I vaguely remember that I was sitting on the left side of the hall, with Timothy, Sharon & Qian Hui. I remember that just moments before receiving the results, Timothy n gang, were patting my back, telling me to relax. Ha.. I also remember that I was telling them that i wasn't tensed, when in fact, I was.

Then I received my results and I did well. My feelings at that moment wasn't happiness but relieved that I passed that stage of my "life".....

After that, there was a photo taking for those who did well. And we were asked to go on stage. I was hesitating to be one of the first to go. Then she walked past me and tapped me to go up to the stage. Ha.. I guess I cldn't forget abt her...

Then it was some talking cock session among us.. Don't really remember wat happened thereafter, anyone care to fill me up?

For A Levels,

The period before it sux. To be perfectly honest, during my stay in BMT, I was, for a brief moment, inspired to be one of those leaders. I grew to dislike NS after the brief moment. I also realised why I failed to meet the cut when I tried. That was only in apr.

The only happy period was before enlistment, in australia. Ha... I had not stepped out of sg for such a long long time.... the trip was fun. I enjoyed it very much.

Anyway, given NS, I didn't even have the time to worry abt the results. I was talking cock to bunk mates like Cedric n Loh Wei when we weren't training. I was busy resting when there was nth to be done.

When the results were to be released, it was happiness that we finally got to book out. ha.. It was the first long bk out. Then the night before the release, I was lying on my bed, worrying again. yet, I wasn't tt worried as when I was waiting for o lvls. Cuz I was tired and also, I got more confident of myself I guess. I expected to fare well, and I thought that I didn't need to worry as I most probably could get into Uni. Only wat course..... Still there were moments when the confidence was shooked.

On the day of release, it was the same as o level -, gathering, hall etc. (My mind is a small blank abt this part.. pls fill me up. thks.) I remembered that we were gg ard to thank some of the teachers after receiving the results.

After tt, I was hanging out with Yee fong in amk.. Hmm.. was quite disappointed that the class sped off to do their respective stuffs and didn't bother for a small gathering at least. But this yr, there is sth different abt this little class... hope it lasts...

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'This is your last chance.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith,
a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin

Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know
No life is a waste.
