PMR Results

The days before -

"what shud we wear to school?"
"confident or not?"
"what time collect results?"

The DAY before -

"did you cut your hair?"
"goodluck 2morrow wor.."
"im dead T_T"

And still, the DAY before..

I phoned my aunt to ask about tomorrow's details - what should we wear, when are the results announced, do i need to have my hair trimmed etc.

What should we wear?
She - PJ shirt and green long pants of course, i doubt that other outfits are allowed.
Me - What about PJ shirt + jeans?
She - Absolutely no way.

When are the results announced?
She - It's just nice to come at 11am, but you can come earlier if you want to chat with friends or something.

Do i need to have my hair trimmed?
She - Yes, you MUST! The disciplinary teachers won't only kill you when they see your hair - they'll kill me too for being your aunt!
Me - Oh, crap, but i have no more alternatives already, dad's not at home, and its too late for a barber trip i guess (its already 11pm)
She - Err, come on over to my house and i'll give you a quick haircut.

So i turned off my computer, saying quick goodbyes to the army of MSN soldiers firing nonstop at friends chatting with me. And i drove to my aunt's house after locking up the house.

Today
Come to think of it, is it worth it for me to have my hair trimmed earlier by one week just to go to school for 2 hours? I could save ONE WHOLE WEEK if i trim my hair only on the day before school starts, geez.

No idea - i guess the school disciplinary teachers were being hyper-psycho as usual, making me thank god that i trimmed my hair yesterday.

*Skips plenty of the story*

Well, after the results were announced and students started vacating the area already, Mah and a few other frisbee friends started a frisbee game right in the basketball court - my weird idea of course. Wonder how many people thought that we're mental :|

While playing frisbee, my mind was full of thoughts - till i missed most of the throws made by Mah.

What was i thinking?

My PMR results of course.

I've only got a 7A - 1B for Chinese.
Big deal huh?

Actually expected that would happen, but still, it was quite a blow for me.

Chinese..
Chinese..
A Chinese that couldn't get an A for Chinese?

"Ang mor sai".

The term keeps floating to the front of my mind, no idea why.

Well, after i informed my family about my results - i got encouraging remarks instead.

From my parents, from my sister, from my brother.

They were all supportive, happy for me that i got 7As, while asking me not to be overly disappointed.

Nah, i'm not disappointed..

Or am i?

My sister got 8As,
My brother got 8As,
And i got 7As.

I've single-handedly broke the 8A-streak among my siblings! XD..

Well, there has to be a first for everything as i understand.
But i'm still disappointed.

I've always been "full-speed-ahead" on the three subjects i like - Maths, Science, English.
Guess i neglected Chinese. My Chinese standard was usually around 70 during past exams. I guess i was unlucky this time :|

Oh well..

Wasn't just me alone who got unlucky perhaps, haha.

So i should think more optimistically.

I won't say that im a failure as many of my friends call themselves.
The finishing line is still ages away, how could i know that i've failed if i haven't reached it?

By surrendering, of course.
Unfortunately, i'm not going to surrender.
It takes more than that to make me fall.

Strive, strive, strive for the future.
PMR is just a benchmark for me to set my foundations on so as to improve myself from Form Four and beyond.

Chinese - you're my first target.

And now i'm wondering whether i have the initiative to improve my Chinese, sigh..
Wonder what my Chinese teacher would say if he ever sees this post.

Form Four.. Here i come.

No, wait, i've got to get my hair fixed by my dad first - Pn Ho didn't exactly do a perfect job on trimming my hair, XD. But still, i'm grateful that i was safe from today's "disciplinary-purge".

And about my results..

So.. RAWR!!
