olevel results ▲

HELLO!
THE OLEVEL RESULTS WERE RELEASED YESTERDAY (12/1) AT 2PM.
woah the rollercoaster of emotions gosh.

i couldnt sleep the night before and ended up going to school halfawake with a splitting headache and butterflies in my stomach. Mr leong gave a long ass speech (As usual) and it just added on to my nervousness and it made my stomach churned. after 2 speeches, we were finally able to get our results.

first of all, edgefield sec's pioneer batch did amazingly well!

just look at that!

our school was featured on the straits times for our success as a new school! im not that surprised on our amazing grades because the teachers did put in all their time and effort to make sure we did well! im incredibly thankful for all the help and effort that my teachers have put into through the four years for the results that i have in my hands today. i couldnt be prouder to be an edgefield pioneer! we have done well! 

so how did i fair?

when i got my results, i cried immediately when the results were handed to me. it was an overwhelming, surreal feeling when you get your results. i had accumulated such an outburst of emotions and anxiousness in me that when i got my results, i cried. it was a mixture of disappointment, happiness and relief. disappointed because it was not as well as i had expected it to be, happy because it was really well done and relief, because it was all over.

i did really well in my opinion. i have no regrets and ive definitely done my best.

after cca points are deducted,

L1R5 ; 11

L1R4 ; 7

i'm thankful that i have the luxury to choice any course in the JAE booklet. it makes me smile when my tutors, teachers & family all praised me for having such grades. it just fees great to have your hardwork pay off and be acknowledged.

all in all, we all did well and im so thankful for everything edgefield secondary has done for us. 

here's to more success stories from edgefield sec to come in the future!

congratulations to the pioneer batch of students of edgefield secondary!

i found this picture of me from 3 years ago (sec2) HAHA

heyyy.
just a short blogpost because i've got alot of things on my mind and too much time on my hands.

so there's 5 more days till i get my olevel results and i can honestly say that i've never felt more nervous about anything else before, not even the feeling before taking the actual olevel papers can compare with what im feeling now.

when you take your olevel paper, you may be nervous but at least you know that you still have the ability to change the grade that you'll get at the end. but now, you can do nothing. your hands are tied until they release your results. i guess one reason why im so nervous is because i've studied really hard, put in all my all for my olevels and there really is no reason for me to do badly. because of the countless sleepless nights and all the hardwork that ive put in, my parents and i expect myself to do extremely well and i'm just afraid that i wont. i keep assuring myself that i've put in my best effort but the suspense towards monday (release of results) is killing me.

also, i've thrashed the idea of considering jc at all. which is odd and a surprise because ive been aiming to go to jc since i was sec1. after olevels, you really have the time to sit down and lay out the pros and cons of jc and poly and really understand and discover yourself and what you want to do with the rest of your life. i realised that the only reason i wanted jc was because my parents and basically everyone else in my family tree (cousins etc) all went to jc and i just wanted to fit in. i thought being enrolled to a polytechnic would cause disappointment among my family towards me.

after much thought, i didnt want to consider jc at all because if you think about it, my current results are because of extreme hardwork. i cannot guarantee or assure myself well enough that i'll have the same level of motivation to study as hard in jc. furthermore, for jc, the only path is to go on to university after alevels. but lets be real, not everyone will go on to university right? so those that dont, their alevel certificate would mean nothing more than a piece of paper.

unlike poly, you have a wide range of courses to choose from. you only study a specific module, a specific field and you get a diploma at the end of the 3 years there. lets say you dont get into a university, you can still use your diploma to get a job, or enroll in an overseas university. and also, 3 years gives me time to make and cultivate friendships and thats really important to me because im someone that loves interacting with people.

saying that, getting into my desired course is equally as hard as getting into a jc.
i just hope i did well enough to get into the course i want.

i've also been working at jack's place (compass) for about 2 months since i had my prom last year. i never thought i'll go into the f&b line and im truly thankful for liting, dragging me to this job despite me violently objecting it. i made many close friends in such a short amount of time it scares me. when i started, i had no friends because liting left before we could even have a shift together. i had to talk to people and now i look forward to work everyday!

being the good girl i am, i spent my first pay on my family. i took my family to seoul garden on my dad's birthday as a treat. and it felt really good to just start paying back to my parents for basically bringing me up.

i guess that's it? i've been thinking alot recently and with no school, ive got so much time to spare.
wish me luck for next monday! hopefully the pioneer batch of edgefield sec did well!
