They say: 好事不传,坏事传千里。But I think it's the opposite for my church. Many people showed concern for me on Friday, my inbox was like flooded with numerous sms-es, asking me how have I done and so on. And when I told them, their replies were full of praises and awe, even though I know that those taking the Os this year would be doing as well, or even much more better than me.
In church today, many extended their handshakes to me, and the most common word I hear today is "Congratulations!". Indeed, I am really thankful for all the people around me in church, for they have constantly kept me in their prayers when I was suffering and enduring throughout that crucial time. Without them, there wouldn't be the 10 points that I see printed in my paper today. Uncle Sam, Aunty Bee Cheng, Aunty Yvonne, Pastor KH, Uncle Jimmy, Aunty Rosalind, Aunty Sy Bin, Aunty Jessica, Aunty Amanda, Uncle Yu Sim...and many whom I want to thank but did not do so here.
Most of them were in awe and it's like I'm in the limelight today. But when I told my class people I failed Physics, I can certainly say I wasn't spared from that "WHAT??!!" look. I kind of expected it. Because in my result slip, the whole row was like "A"s (nevermind if they're an A1 or A2) and then in the middle, a big D popped out. Even Gabriel was like-how can you fail physics? It's like Maths. So I told everyone there that I'm used to it, since everyone in school was like saying me also...my juniors said that when they knew I had 7 Distinctions, the only I one I failed to score was Physics. Anyway, I'm going to drop Physics in JC. After all, I'm not even allowed to take it since I didn't get a C6 or better. HA HA HA!!
Yay!! Tomorrow going to Vivo City with Mummy to buy an Ipod Nano. I know it's nothing to some people. But to me, it's very precious because it's a reward from both Daddy and Mummy, well, mostly Daddy, for my hard work and effort I've put in for the Os. I'm gonna buy the 4GB one...which is like $348. Daddy actually only gave me $200 but after Mummy talked to him, he relented and allowed me to buy the 4GB one. AH!! I WANT THE PINK COLOUR ONE!! AND I'M CERTAINLY GONNA TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND NOT LOSE IT!! IPOD, HERE I COME!! WOO-HOO!! =D
Woo-Hoo!! It's finally a relief to know that I've officially graduated to AMK...very satisfied with my results...I think I'm rather retarded...it's like I'm blogging 3 days after the whole thing is over. But no choice, time is not on my side...still, I'd like to blog because it's really a joyous and unforgettable occasion.
Trudged to school on the 9th of Feb, which is Friday. That day was a very significant day for not only me, but also the thousands and thousands of students who took the 2006 O Level Examinations. Reported to the hall at 2:30pm after having my lunch with Sally...Rachel came later, but it was Sally and I who arranged the rendezvous.
So...Mr Tan showed us all the percentage and stuffs like that during the briefing before all of us "choing" to the front to take that precious piece of paper which would determine our fate. The very great news is that all of us 4 Express has passed English!! Yay! So happy for everybody. Our batch didn't do quite well for Chemistry...as I heard from many others that there were rumours about quite a number of the students failed that subject. I was so scared that my heart felt like it was gonna pop out of my mouth any minute. I cannot afford to fail Chemistry because I'm intending to pursue it and Bio to a furthur level.
Then they came to the ppt slide where I saw a number of names on the screen. I nudged Sher Feng because I saw a name there. As I skimmed down the row, it was when I saw the 3 words: "Choong Wen Qi". I was rather taken aback, yet curious. Blame it on my stupid eyesight. I could only make out the outline faintly, but I couldn't even see or find out why my name was up there. I shook Xue Li so hard that she was practically trembling, pestering her to read to me the heading. It was then my heart was really popping out of my mouth. I HAD SCORED 7 DISTINCTIONS!! Ok, maybe I'm not as good as those who scored 6 or single digits...but I really very very very contented. I turned around and gesticulated wildly to Mummy, and she replied in a thumbs-up sign, also confirming that it WAS really my name that was up there together with others.
So the 30-minute briefing might have been considered a torture or a test of endurance to some, but not for me after that. Because I know I would not have scored more than 12 points. Which was less than what I had already expected. I thought I would get like 15-16 points. Lol...
When it was finally my turn, Mrs Veda was all smiles when she presented the result slip to me. Now, for those who are curious to know, here goes:
English- A1
Combined Humanities- A1
Biology- A2
Chemistry- A2
E-Maths- A2
A-Maths- A2
Chinese- A2
I actually took another subject for O Levels, and that's Physics. Ha ha ha! I was told that I was the only one in my class to fail that subject. For your info, I scored a D7. Lol...really nothing to say. After all, everyone who knows me says that they expected it, even Ms Poon, my Physics teacher. I never thought that Eng and CH could get a 1 because I've been failing to 2 subjects for 2 whole years...I'm also very happy cos I broke Daddy's record. He scored 12 points for his Os. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (evil laugh)!!!!
