Whoopie!

 

Looking at my results still feels like a dream :) I remembered crying really badly during Primary 6 when i got a mere 227 for my PSLE and got even more depressed when everyone told me that I’m going to a school full of ah-lians & bengs (HIHS). But that was the place where I knew so many of my 姐妹s and still keep in contact with them till now, where I had Leong as my personal tutor and he was the reason that I made my mum proud for the 1st time by giving her a pretty 17 for my O’s. Got into Serangoon JC cus it was near my house and i dun have many options either; memories were scarce cus I spent most of the time going against the class and being all rebellious along with my darling 3, didnt recall putting in much effort when it comes to studies. So when it was Doom’s Day and I received my report card with a CCDE from my form teacher who solemnly asked me how I thought of my results and I went, “Hmm..Not bad ah!” I wasnt trying to be funny but I took my results lightly, only having to find myself trying to find a school that would take me in, gave up attempting to appeal for any NUS NTU or SMU courses. Lucky me, SIM took me in.

I’m pretty well-known in my family for being the happy-go-lucky kind. When Sis did badly for English in Secondary School, it was like a major crisis and my relatives would go all worried for her, cus they had high expectations of her. But when I passed all my subjects, even just borderline, my family would praise me & give me monetary rewards..like a celebration -.-” Lol maybe they think i’m smart enough to pass all and thats my limit!

Because the invisible motto of SIM goes, “Every weekday is a Sunday”, timetables are absurdly slack and I had the most awful lecturers for my 3rd year. I had Mr R for Elements of Econometrics on Monday, Mr R for Management Science Methods & Mr S for Organisation Theory on Tuesday, Mr J.K for Information Systems on Wednesday.

No one ever hopes for Mr R to teach cus u can never understand his nonsense about B caps and deltas so not before long Clar Jiamin and I decided to abandon his lessons and depended on Chris Daughtry’s notes after prelims. But it wasnt much use too, as u can tell i failed my EOE, expectedly hahaha. I had no idea how i got a 27, considering I didnt know how to answer a single question and was just staring blankly at the clock, waiting for my last paper to end!

We attended his MSM lessons though, but thank goodness for Faith who so kindly gave me her stack of David Quek’s notes, that i managed to get a 60 for my exams. I remembered I was pretty upset when I got a 20 or 30 for my prelims for MSM cus it’s supposed to be the easiest unit among all..even Jiamin and Clar got a 80+ for that subject! Haha. U’ll only do well if u study hard. Sian but true.

Mr S, who loves to talk about his wife, cheng-teng and giraffes, didnt help me much in the subject either and I had to sought help by visiting the sch’s library, copying notes and case studies from books. Lastly for Mr J.K, who I claimed he’s a complete waste of  my time after watching him dance around in the lecture hall; I skipped his wednesday lessons for the whole of the year. Surprisingly i scored the highest for his subject. -.-”" Clar and Jiamin always grumble how I never once give a thought about attending J.K’s lessons. He’s useless guys!!

Yesterday at 3am, Faith called me to tell me that the results were out..it was in the middle of the night and as much as I wanna know how i fared, I didnt dare to wake my sis up, cus I told her that she MUST be the one who gets to see my results first. I believe she’s my lucky charm ever since she checked my results last year and I scraped a pass for my POA (34 marks!!) Anyway i had insomnia all the way to 8am and I decided i couldnt stand it any longer and I woke my sis up, who very willingly got up and I like it when she tells me my results very calmly, haha. Thanks sis, muacks! :*) Sis was happy, Dearie was happy, Mum was extremely happy, my family is giving me a seafood treat this coming saturday! I’m glad that Jiamin did well for his exams and now i hope Clar will receive good results too when she comes back from Vietnam today! :) Then we can all grad happily together! :))

When you traced the path you had taken from childhood, it became crystal clear that God has been directing u at every point. :) I’m convinced of his love for me! :) Thanks Lord for giving me the best present of the year :)
