I got my O level results today. Not bad, I was expecting something worse.
Combined Humanities – B3 (I wanted an A )
Mathematics – B3 (I wanted an A too)
Science – B4 (I thought I would fail science!)
Principles of Accounts – A1 (YAY!)
Chinese – A1 (I got B3 for mid-year though. Mama cursed that I would fail Chinese due to I can’t really read Chinese. But hey! I got A1!)Overall, I’m happy with the result. The suspense was killing me and I was not able to sleep well last night. Finally, it’s over. Time to move on, to a new stage of life.
Today is my official last day wearing school uniform and white school to school. The route I frequently used to go to school and go back home will now, be a stranger to me again (because I won’t use that route) and finally, I will miss everyone in this school.
Ms Chew – My sec 3 English teacher who had motivated and gave me chances to be who I am now. I may not be active in my CCA and take up leadership role if she didn’t gave me the chance to be a leader. Thank you Ms Chew!
Mdm Lee – Like a mother of our class, she also had been very concern about everyone. Somehow I love history because of her. I don’t know why. She just made me want to do better. Lucky this is the case, if not I have one extra subject to cope with. I don’t know, she gave me a great impact which hardly can describe by words. Thanks Mdm Lee!
Ms Tan – One of the teachers who can give me advice when I’m troubled. Remember last year I was under great stress due to family problem, she always there for me with her tissue ready (yes, I cry a lot). I, a person who cannot do math can do so well is because of her guidance. I still remember my algebra “A +B =AB” almost made her vomit blood. Thanks!
Finally….
Shawn – Another person who always there for me when I troubled. A person who know the most secret in my life. Helped me pull through this difficult stage, really, must thank him. I know he will always there for me no matter what. Thank You shawn.

A song written January 5, 2008. A comedy ballad about porn, spam and internet encounters.
Er…I’m 100% sure that I can’t sing this song. Want more porn?

I was affected by the MRT disruption very badly yesterday. I came out from home about 1 hour earlier in order to reach school early for a project. However, I ended up late for school for half an hour. ><
I tried to draw comic about what happened but it failed very badly. >< Cockroach‘s drawing had never improve ><
By the way, today was quite an unpleasant day with some events upset me quite a lot. *sigh* when will those unhappy event stop happening to me?
Sweet things happen too! Melinda, Weasleys OGL, was giving everyone a letter! How sweet! Mmmm… little things like this do brighten someone’s day. Thank Melinda!
Coming Thursday will be the day of taking O level results. Hoping for the best…

As you play the game, your cursor dies and you have to start over. How boring. However, on your next life, your previous cursor repeats everything you have did during that life, assisting your current life. Confused? It’s easy!

Making a decision may be tough sometimes and decisions might change one life forever.

O level result will be release next week and I am really very lost now. I don’t know where to go for my next education, and most importantly I am not sure how well or badly I had done for O Levels. I haven’t been so stress ever since I completed my O Levels. I’m worry about my future, my plans, my family, my life. I’m afraid that the route I chose will not turn out what I want. I’m afraid that I would fail to provide a better life for my family and failed to make SGEduLab an even more meaningful place. Really, I’m scared. I have been thinking whether which route should I take, which one is better for me, which one would benefit the most for both my family and me. Weighting the pros and cons, I still can’t really decide…
|
No. |
About? |
Stay @ MI |
Go to Poly… |
|
End of 3 years… |
If I stay in MI, at the end of 3 years, I may end up with both diploma and A Level cert if I applied for dual track program.
But also, if I cannot do well for A level, I would end up with nothing and go no where. |
Should I go poly, at the end of 3 years, I may end up with a diploma. And if I do well enough, I may get myself a place in the local university.
But that would also mean that if I cannot do well enough, I need to go overseas for my further studies. |
|
|
Traveling… |
It will take me about 1 hour 15 min to reach school by MRT; about 3 hours spend on traveling daily.
I must put in consideration of whether I could take it or not. After long hours of studying in school, do I have enough energy to travel from west to east again? |
I can choose a poly near my house which is a walking distance of 10 to 15 min.
But we must bear in mind that I might not get into the poly I wanted to. I may get posted to a poly somewhere in the west too. |
|
|
Studying… |
Studying at MI can be quite stressful. With many things are base in theory and I’m forced to do something that I don’t like (for example GP), then everything seem to be like secondary school when we \”Don’t have a choice\”. |
I would have a choice to study what I like (mainly computer or business). But the problem would be: |
|
|
The Stress… |
I must put into consideration of me able to handle the stress that coming towards me.
With personal life problems, family problems, growing up problems, am I able to handle all the stress well for the 3 years? |
Polytechnic have stress too. Rushing to meet datelines of projects, exams and etc.
Am I able to handle to stress of projects datelines for 3 years? |
|
|
The $$$… |
Studying in MI could be cheap because it is a government school. However, it might not be the case if I chose the dual track program. For diploma, I must pay in cash which I doubt my family could afford it.
On other hand, I could receive ‘government benefit’ like public transport discount and Edusave scholarships and etc. |
Studying in poly might buddle my family. Though school fees may paid by CPF, would I able to return the money back to my parent’s CPF? Would the daily expense of the family went up due to I have to pay adult fare for public transport? |
|
|
The Life |
I would be busy whole day mugging, reading, improving. I doubt I would have much life for myself and for my family and friends. I won’t able to take up part time work to help in family finance too. |
Poly life could be easier and more relaxing one way or another.
I could even do part time teaching to give some little income to my family and myself. |
So…. What to choose?

Received Edusave Award today! I was awarded SGD$500 with a certificate. 
This shall semi-mark the end of my Secondary School life.
After the ceremony, mama and I went to the lottery shop to buy 4D with my award ID and my NRIC number. She believed that it sort of good luck and who knows can help the family get more income. Okay, I participate a bit by paying half of the lottery bet amount which is Illegal Betting, because I am under 18. ><
Went out with the family after the ceremony, mama said I need to treat them because I am rich kid now (which is obviously not). We went to Pasir Ris White Sand, Lerk thai Restaurant to have our dinner. The foods were nice, and it is something no one should miss. Price were okay, total cost me $70+.
Time to stop here and shall start doing my tutorial now. *sigh* works never ends.
