And 12th Jan Reveals

My heart was racing and my palms were sweating, and despite how noisy the people around were, there seemed to be an amplified moment of silence. Took the result slip and looked at the first grade of the piece of paper. Screwed my head up and looked around for a lady in blue top, but nope, my English teacher was no where in sight. Tore the envelope/letter like a barbarian and stared at the L1R5. Relieved.

hmm I had like spent the entire day feeling worried and wasted all my energy on feeling jittery. 4 years of anticipation is over, after just one 5 seconds glance on a slip of paper. damn it.

Anyway, 12th Jan reveals the hard truth. Mixed, as I didn't whether to feel happy or sian, but don't worry, generally happy :) I got a L1R5 of 8 and R4 of 6. The greatest surprise of the day was the languages. HCL and EL like met on the street and decided to swop their grades with each other. Turn out that I got an amazing/ miraculous A2 for EL but a fat disappointing C5 for HCL. Frankly speaking, I never expected a C in my cert and turn out that the subject that got it was HCL. I'd confidently tell other people my languages would probably be both B. Sigh. I'd have been devastated had there not be EL. Though Mdm Xuan kept saying HCL paper you know you know, she still can't comfort me enough, because no one would give a damn to wadeva you're explaining or how many B3s I've gotten in the past. Darling, it's C5 now, face the fact.

But ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I got a good score for L1R5 and maintained both ones for maths. Hated myself for simply giving up on Geog Paper 1 since it was too hard, and not giving myself enough time for SBQ in both papers. If you look back at the achieves, I did say " I didn't do well for both papers' SBQ section... ... A1 is unlikely. Just hope Guan Yin Ma can bless me with an A2. " Oh well, I did get an A2, can't be too greedy la, must be satisfied. Hated that 'B' beside Geography but I had really expected that as well. So, it's ok. BUT hurray for the four A1s! which are: Emaths, Amaths, Comb. Sc and Chinese.

Credits (your favourite part!): Thank you thank you, firstly, Mdm Yeo, who like had been such a helpful and hardworking teacher, who never failed to answer my weirdest doubts. Also Guo Laoshi who helped me all these 4 years, be it in CCA aspect or academically. Also Pearl who had been an amazing French that helped me a lot in English and also being a funny partner in the enrichment programme (and Meiling as well!!) Also Laosun for making me laugh during low-highs in lessons like Chem and brightens each boring lesson. Also my Mom, who had been a lovely listener to my complaints from school. Also my dad, for really respecting my choices, and not forgetting fetching me to school every extra lesson. Also my sister, who kept giving me confidence in wadeva I do, be it academically or CCA or performances etc. Also ALL other teachers like Mr Ho who really moved me with your sincerity and patience. Also the panel of judges who decided to give me this award. I, thank you.
