Queen Elizabeth came to my block today!!! Wad a rare honour. haha i dun think i would even have the chance to see her in real person if i have gone to england to look for her. Even though she looked very old, her smile made her look ver he ai ke qin.
Juz did not have the chance to take a really good photo of her. managed to take her buttock only haha.




Got back my results yesterday. they were rather disappointing because i had expected at least three as. I had studied so hard for it, and really think i shd have deserved much better grades. Nevertheless, it's not too bad. Think i shd be able to get into most of the courses that i want but my hopes of getting overseas are really dashed. Grandpa fell down in the morning just before i got back my results. I prayed to god that if he'd be alright, i'd rather not get good results. Perhaps the trade-off has worked. He just bruised himself abit. So i should be happy with what i get after all.
It's prolly the time to think seriously about the future of my life, the path that i would take. Everything has been going too smooth for me. This setback also set me thinking of what has gone wrong. I think ill preparation during the dec hols is a major reason. If i had revised my work during the J1 hols, perhaps j2 would have been more of a breeze. It's like a 2.4 km run. Someone starts earlier than me and he runs slowly. I start only after he ran two rounds. Hence, in order to catch up, i'd have to sprint and the race ends up so much tougher than it really is.
I also did many mistakes as well. I did well in the mock papers before the exams. But i was not really composed enough during the exams. I should have treated it as a normal practice instead. Perhaps as wad guan has said, i think too much sometims.
There are also some other factors as well. I did not try to like the stuff that i was mugging and studying became quite a chore. There were also several other distractions. J1 badminton captaincy election and 2004 badminton competition affected me alot. I pinned high hopes on them and i was realy disappointed that, sometimes, not everything was fair and just. These two events were huge impacts in my life and i was taught a painful lesson that being sincere and vocal do not really pay sometimes and the good person does not always get the praise. I was not really skillful in dealing with the impacts of these two events and as a result became rather despondent and cynical ever since. No one knows about it and i was like a boiling kettle with no vent, totally sealed. As a result, i drifted away from my class and this further compounded my emotional stress. If not for my little group of buddies in school, i think i would have suffered from depression. These distractions though not directily related to my academics do inevitably affect my performances.
My page of life in JC has been bittersweet but not without valuable lessons learnt. It's time to start a new page and and I have to really start thinking of my future.
