O Level Results Finally Released...Okay, this post is supposed to be scheduled for 24th January 2008, but I'm actually writing this on 30th January 2008. I've been very busy finding many news and sources bout Heath Ledger's death. I don't know why I'm obsessed about his death... I guess my curiosity got the better of me. It did keeps me busy though.
Anyway, back to the main topic. Everybody who went to school on this day were feeling nervous, scared, and some excited to receive their results. 'Cause maybe I guess they really can't wait to get it over with. Some of us had long hair and were sent to the Foyer to collect their results there. I actually had quite a long hair, but I was allowed to take my results in the Hall. I guess the teachers really like me and gave me a chance. Haha...It's cool to be a Teacher's Pet or a Favourite of the School.
When we were in the Hall, the Principal gave a short speech or something, saying we did better than the previous cohort and she was proud of us. Mr Melvin Tan told us some important things bout the results and the JAE stuff. Mdm Siti, on the other hand, showed us the statistics of this year's and last year's results. More like comparing. When she told us that we've got a 100% Pass for Malay Language, I shouted "Woo!!!" and everyone looked back to find the source of the shout. We also had a 100% Pass for Punjabi, but the thing is, our school has only one Punjabi student. And that it Manveer from 4/1. Haha. Ouh, they showed the school's Great Performers for the O Level Exams. The first was Shawn Chua who's gotten 9 points for R5, same goes for Xin Rong. Phoebe Xie was next with 10 points, followed by Gina Teo with 10 too. Congratulations to them!!!
Then, it was time to finally give out the results to the students. Mine was almost quite to the end as my register number is 34 out of 39. So, being late has made me watched tears of both joy and disappointment, screams of happiness and also the reluctance of accepting their failure. Some called their friends or family right after they held their results slips and papers. It was cool to see people shouting to their parents on the phone saying that they've achieved their targets, especially Max who recieved a 16. He shouted on the phone "I'VE GOT SIXTEEN!!!" He was very excited. Some people just ran off out of the hall directly after they received their results. Others just cried, or rather stared blankly at walls or ceilings or keeping quiet most of the time. The thing that bothers me is that the Photography Club members went around to take pictures of us. Some even sat beside the students who are taking their results in front of their form teachers. I was like Huh?
Before my turn, it was Hakim's turn. Once he sat on the chair, his family (yup...his Dad, Sisters & Mum i think came) quickly stood behind him to see his results. And then, after opening the envelope (Form A) the family put on a great smile and were happy. Of course, later on I asked him bout his results. It seems that he scored 14 for his R5 and 11 for R4. Hehe. Kudos for him!!!
My turn finally arrived. I was scared la when I looked at Mdm Norul's face. She had that sad disappointed face looking at my result slip. I was literally at the side-end of the chair. Then, she said "The good news is that you don't have any C's or D's or fail" Haha. I was happy to hear that and looked at the results. The first thing I did was to find any A1's in my results. Finally, I saw the word 'One' and it's on the LAST subject I would ever THINK of to get a DISTINCTION!!! IT'S MY MALAY LANGUAGE!!! I've NEVER gotten an A for all of my Final Year Exams before in my Secondary Life. The highest I've got for Malay is B3. And now, I've jumped TWO Grades up. I saw Mdm Siti walked past me and I literally jumped up & down in front of her shouting like a Mad Person, as if I've just won the Lottery or something. Then, of course, with all that shouting, my classmates began to come close to me to know why I was happy. I went back to sit down on the chair and everyone around me saw the A1 for my Malay. They congratulated me for that. I began to open Form A, rather slowly actually. I then saw that I've gotten 15 for my R5 and 11 for R4. It seems Hakim beats me once again. Haha. But I was so happy!!!
Mr Wong was the first to SMS me bout my results. Haha. Followed by Shahirah and so on. I called Adelaida from Cedar Secondary School, and found out she's got 8 points for her R5. I was like WOAH!!! If that's not surprising enough, she told that she's got 4 Bonus Points, meaning she'll get 4 points after subtracting 4 from 8 points. She got the 4 Bonus Points from her CCA, Higher MT and French. COOL RIGHT??? And the thing is...SHE'S NOT HAPPY!!! I was like "I got 15 and I'm happy. You got 8 and you're sad. Now, you made me sad" If she don't want the points, give me la.
Later, I changed shirt to meet Sabrina & Siti at Burger King's White Sand to eat and just sit down and talk. But Siti left right after I've just gotten my order, so Sabrina & I talked as much as we can until we had to head home after that.
