Life In JC [A Decision Made]
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
Much has passed since the month of feb started .. for starters.. the college road run..
nvm the fact that i was "sabo"ed to run in the competitive category meaning i had to run 5km.. a full 2km longer then other ppl.. results happened to be released on that very same day! i wasn't able to concentrate on the run at all!! no matter how fit i was.. as long my mind was not focused, how could i expect myself to perform.. how was anyone to perform with that state of mind! either ways.. i ran.. and ran and ran.. watched the sun rise from the horizon of the sea as i ran the length of east coast park.. surprisingly.. the run went faster then i expected.. i ran faster then my usual timing.. clocking 20min23sec.. [ i timed on my own watch.. DUH! ] of cuz.. i didn win any prize as we were competing not only among J1s but also the J2s.. expectedly.. the soccer players and track n field ppl took almost all the prizes for top 30.. BUT.. our class.. XUE KAI.. he got 17!! gratz to him man!.. i on the other hand got 86.. not really a bad achievement really..
and now.. Results!!!
the dreaded day had finally arrive~!! the day i longed to come but never want it to come.. i was afraid to face reality.. afraid that i did not perform up to my standard.. my expectations.. my parent's and seniors and teacher's expectations.. not being able to enter my dream school.. TJC.. not being able to attain the goal of 9points nothing more.. to make matters worse.. i would be the last in my class of 41 to receive my results.. and i will wait as people around me jump for joy, weep, start tapping on their handphones incessently.. with all that commotion around me.. shouts of triumph.. how could i not feel intimidated.. how could i not feel happy for em.. what could i do expect for that? as i waited and prayed for the best.. i got my results at long last. with the following results..
English B3
Combined Humanities A1
Emath A1
Amath A2
Biology B3
Phy/Chem A1
Chinese B4
L1r4- 8 L1r5- 11 CCA- A1
L1r5 after bonus- 9
i didn make my expectations.. but somehow i could not help but to feel happy then i did a favour to myself by proving to myself that i can achieve.. with such results.. it is considered good in other's eyes.. but not mine.. not after failing to reach the goal i set for myself 9points nothing more.. it meant i would not be able to enter TJC.. and have to settle down in another JC.. leaving me with yet another difficult decision to make.. where to go.. i found myself at a crossroad with plentiful routes.. my intended route being closed upon me.. road blocked.. i detoured and settled upon Meridien JC.. as my first choice.. heck to all its rumours that its stress placed upon its students shoulders could kill.. i work best under pressure.. or at least that's what people tell me.. and time and time again i cant help but admit that they are right to an extent.. how much i'm not sure myself.. but it didn't really matter.. it is my future.. it is what i make of it.. and i will mould mine to be a bright one.. in academics and cca alike..
