Happy....but Sad...
There was collective screaming yesterday in the SJI Founder's Hall. The tension was obvious as Mr.Lui, our beloved urging principal, gave his congratulatory speech. The teachers seemed oblivious to the fact that we wanted all the speechmakers to stop talking and GIVE US OUR RESULTS NOW!!!
But, in the end, we got them after all, after some waiting. I screamed as loud as i could. I was jumping, and shaking my friends' shoulders, and screaming (have i mentioned that?) as loudly as i could.
8 points. My own personal best score. And I got the grades I worked like hell for, the grades that I never would have believed I got if I didn't see them with my own eyes yesterday.
English - A1 - it was a long time coming, and I finally got it back!
Malay - C6 - I'm just glad i passed
E Maths - A1 - Just like Ms.Lim wanted
A Maths - A2 - Big disappointment...
Bio - A2 - Yay!! I remember mugging my head off for this one...
Chem - B3 - Huh???
Physics - A2 - Erm... could've been nicer...
Combined Humanities - A1 - I stared at this for 2 minutes, I kid you not. I was stunned beyond all stun-age I thought was possible.
Lit - A1 - This was the first score I looked for on my results sheet and I screamed my voice out. Un-frickin-believable. Ms.Goh rocks! Hail to Ms.Goh!! Ping Yi, are you reading this???
So there I have a cause for great happiness. But with all happiness comes sorrows. 8 is a wonderful score, my own personal best, but is 8 enough to compete with the 7 and 6 pointers who also want to get into the noble Temasek JC? Some scholars may be kicked out of RJC or NJC or VJC and they will naturally seek to be admitted into the next best JC. At this rate, only God can secure my place in TJC.
And yet another sorrow. My roomie, sadly enough, shares not my happiness. He was unfortunate. And furthermore, because of the unfairness of life, his bonus points are less than the Higher Mother Tongue students. So, unless God intervenes, Leonard Kenneth Clerigo Barro will not be my roomie anymore in about 3 weeks time. God bless you, Kenneth, wherever you go...
