Alevels results were out yesterday. Despite my previous blog post, I was unable to really calm myself down yesterday before receiving the results.
I am not those who cries over results, nor those who screams aloud when I'm excited. But that doesn't mean I'm totally calm. It was over until I was on the bus then I start to feel nervous and I was humming along with some songs to make me feel better. Did help a little I guess.
Reaching school and stuff was still alright. Cause the weather was bloody hot and all I could think of was to get a drink. And all was fine until Mr Menon came around and told us using his loudspeaker, to go up to the hall. That was still fine. Until Gwen Hwarng was announced as the top 10 who got 8 distinctions. *FAINTS* That was still fine until the row of people in front of me started getting 3As. I was really scared by then. And the moment I received my result slip, I didn't see it. I walked to one side and stood with Steph both of us didn't dare to see it. You know, it may be just one slip of paper but it determines a lot.
And then people crowded around me to ask how I did and I kept saying 'Don't ask me I haven't seen it yet'. Until Ms Chua came over and looked at my slip and she told me that I should see it. My heart skipped a beat when I flipped the paper around. Thank gawd it was fine.
Getting A for GP was one of the best things that ever happened to me. From S for GP to 54, just one mark to C but yet a D for prelims and till now. GP hasn't been my best subject and in fact, is the most worrying one for me this time round. I couldn't say I deserve it because despite working hard, I never thought that I was ever A standard for GP. Nevertheless, it was a moment of excitement.
Getting A for Physics was another exhilarating thing. Because I've never gotten past E for Physics in my 2 years of JC education. Because I was ranked 12th percentile in Prelims and got a E and the E was because the teachers were lenient and gave me one more mark if not I would have gotten S. And the E was when hundreds of people got B cause the prelims paper was considered easy. I've put in the most effort for Physics, revising through the subject right from the start, getting my foundation right, meeting up with Mr Lim for once/twice in a week. Finished up all the questions I can find in TYS or worksheets. It was a lot of effort put in and I'm glad for the reward given.
AAAAB was a decent enough grade. I wouldn't say I'm not satisfied, although it's a little disappointing because I was that close to straight As, still I'm contented already. B for econs was a little disappointing though I've expected it but I really hoped that I was at the upper half of the bell curve, sadly nope, at least not in the school.
To all my friends who've done well, congratulations! Whereas to all others who hasnt, it may be a big thing but its not the end of the world. The biggest mistake in life is not those who tried but failed, but those who failed to try. I hate to see tears, so people, do cheer up! (: You know, I hate the part about receiving results, partly because of my own disappointment but mostly because I hate to see my friends getting upset.
And for those seniors and juniors and friends from everyone who wished me good luck and were concerned with my grades, thanks a million! (: It did feel better with a lot of you believing that I will do well and when I did do well, you guys were even more excited than I am. That's the most important and happiest thing about this.
