How well I did is just so unreal. Admittedly what I got was my best case scenario but I tried not to think too much about it cos it would’ve been too good to be true. I expected Bs and Cs, with any luck maybe an A. but certainly not all As and Bs with more As than Bs. Really thank God for such fantastic results cos it is first and foremost by His grace that I am blessed with such wonderful results. Gosh I’m still a little in disbelief even though it has been almost 4 days. Haha. I have so much else to thank God for too.
- First for bf who has been supportive, encouraging and understanding since I knew him. For all the study sessions, the encouragement, the belief and the help. Gary has helped me in almost every subject, even trying to explain physics to me which he doesn’t take. I’m super touched by the extent to which he cares about my studies and wants me to do well, and how he’ll do anything to the best of his ability to help me.
- For such a wonderful class of S07 who have pushed me since day 1. Who cares if I failed higher chinese, God had other plans for me when he failed me and put me in S07. To see how hardworking and smart weiqin, josh sam, regina, eileen and in fact everyone else are really drove me to work harder.
- For all those study sessions with the class girls. I really thank God for them. twin manda weiqin peilian regina eileen mel and serene. For the relief they provide when I’m stressed and the encouragement when I’m down.
- For weiqin whom I’ve called and messaged frequently to ask about physics and math stuff and she never fails to put aside whatever she’s doing to try to help me. And I’m so happy for her cos she did so well! Congrats weiqin!
- For manda my table partner during tutorials for putting up with my "I don’t understands" and trying her best to explain stuff to me.
- For mummy whose scoldings have made me cry countless times but also made me rethink my priorities and to really study hard.
Actually Friday wasn’t exactly the best day of my life. I couldn’t be happy about my results that day. I went home to watch tv and as I sat there I started thinking ‘this is so stupid I should be ecstatic over my results and be out celebrating, yet I’m at home unable to be happy and emo-ing". Then I started laughing and crying at the same time. I was going crazy I tell you. I also thank God for the people who stood by me over the weekend,
- for weiqin who had to listen to me cry like someone just died on friday and then calming me down. And checking on me on Monday to make sure I was alright. THANK YOU WEIQIN. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. (:
- for relatives who are so excited about your results that you just couldn’t help but smile even though inside you felt like crying. It was like I just won a Nobel Prize or something. Haha. It’s an amazing feeling when people are happy for you and proud of you.
- For qiuning who listened to the entire story and accompanied me the entire day. I LOVE YOU QIU! (: dear qiu remembered that I used to love eating kit kat chunky caramel when I was in secondary school and she bought me that to cheer me up. I was so touched! (:
- For manda who accompanied me on Friday I’m sorry dear I wasn’t in the mood to go out. I can’t wait to go dress shopping with you! Love you dear. (:
I remember during one bible studies lesson I was asking ker yew what is experiencing God’s peace. And she said she couldn’t really explain it it’s like your own personal experience. I’m not sure if I’m right but on Friday night I believe I experienced God’s peace. I woke up in the middle of the night and I dunno why I was so overwhelmed with sadness that I started crying really badly all over again. And I couldn’t stop so I cried out a prayer to God. And almost immediately I felt my sobs subside and a lot calmer. Amazing really how God watches over you even when you think no one knows you’re crying.
And I’m thankful everything’s resolved now! Even though it took 3 days. Gosh it’s by far the longest.
And for the first time my parents rewarded me for doing well! I remember I used to be upset about how they seemed to always be more excited about my sisters’ results than mine. Even though I do better than them. Silly really how I need some sort of parental approval to know that I did well and be happy about it.
Anw I was reading weiqin’s blog and she said it’s really up to us how well we want to do and not blame the school and teachers for it. I agree with her. I believe it’s up to us to do well, to study hard, to seek help when we don’t understand and not to just take everything thrown at us and admit defeat when we don’t do well and complain we have lousy notes or teachers. I admit I’m guilty of doing that sometimes but As has really taught me otherwise. While those factors do play a role in you doing well, the majority is up to you. And God of course. Haha.
I must say I’ve come a long way from BT1 though. Let’s take a look at my H2 subjects and my grades in the order of BT1-BT2-Prelims-As.
Math: C-C-B-A
Chemistry: S-D-B-A
Physics: U-U-C-B
Like wow. I can’t believe how much I’ve improved. I can’t remember what I got for gp and econs for all the exams, but from prelims, my econs has jumped from E to B and GP from S to A. S to A! gosh. Haha. I really can’t believe it. Now I’m finally happy over my results. (:
