Release of 'O' level results...

Release of 'O' levels results...woke up early in the morning...felt quite stressed out...surprised that i could actually sleep last night...went to school with quite a heavy heart...did not pay much attention in class...watched videos for both chem and bio lectures...went back to St. Margs' at 12.10pm...reached St Margs' and sat in the canteen while waithing for 2pm to arrive...saw laoshi and i think she saw my worried look...that's why she told me not to worry as all of us did very well...i did not believe it and carry on thinking about the worst possible scenairo...finally, it's time to go to the hall...heard a lot of rumours...that half the cohort failed comb hum. and majority of the 4/4 girls scored distictions in English...strange enough, i was quite relieved upon hearing this,,,a huge load off my shoulders...phew! As i sat in the familar hall listening to Mrs Lee's speech, I continued to think about my results...i don't want history to repeat itself...finally, Mre Lee announced the good news...class of 2003 did better than the class of 2002...much better and about 56 of us qualified for the star...top student of the Express stream is Lydia! Expected...she studied hard and really deserved it...the normal stream top girl is Li Peng...But there is also a piece of bad news as well...that we have to pay $25 for the star...chay! As I approached the teacher's table, I was on the verge of breaking down...when i finally reached the table, Ms Siti said:" Don't cry! English distinction...the whole class did well...if you want to cry, cry for joy!" I took my results slip from her and guess what?! I scored 7 distinctions and a B3!!! I was so happy that I can't seem to count my L1R5...so I just tore open the other paper which had my L1R5 score...10 points! I called home immediately and told my mum the good news...my mum told me to relax...haha...Went out with Minsin, Wanwei, Lim Jie and Yuwen to Holland V to eat and went to Minsin's house to play!!!Haha...so fun...went home quite late and when i reached home, i rattle on and on about my results...i'm so glad that history did not repeat itself. After a long hot bathe, i log onto msn and realised that all friends did well and most of them are staying in SA... Finally had a taste of what sweetness is all about and i'll work even harder for the 'A' levels...
