Results

After a long wait, I finally received my a-level results on Friday. I personally do not think that it is good enough for me to get a place in NUS, NTU or SMU, but I am glad that I have made improvements. As compared to my previous grades of CDE B4, this time round, I obtained, CDD C5. True enough, my standard of GP has fallen, but my maths has improved a grade too.

Met up with my friends at night, hoping that they can share my joy with me, but instead, they told me that they were disappointed. Maybe Aw and Jeffrey had higher expectations of me, but like Jason (Tan) mentioned, having to study while serving NS and without guidance from teachers, is not an easy task. However, after my talk with them, I am no longer sure if I had really put in my best effort in the first place. This current phase of life is over and I should look to the future. First and foremost, I would be applying for all 3 public universities and SIM. Hopefully, I can get a place in one of them, preferably the public universities as their fees can be paid via CPF. Secondly, I am about to ORD soon and I should take the opportunity to look for a job rather than laze at home. Lastly, I must definitely find out what subjects interests me so that I can take up the appropriate courses and look out for future job opportunities.

As compared to Pin Jing, Janice and Luke's sister, I have fared much worse than them. However, I am happy for Pin Jing as she has done remarkably well and Janice, for being optimistic about her future.

Last but not least, I repaid Luke and his family by buying them a box of Royce' chocolate. Whenever I am at his place, I always feel like a free loader because his family provides me with free food.
