Hey!
ok,
i've made up my mind.
i'm going to jc.
but not just any jc.
Nanyang Jc.
yes.
i know i have been talking abt going to poly,
but i felt that i'd rather go to jc where i can still learn some more stuff and meet newer and more decent people,
unlike those in poly.
besides,
going to poly is expensive.
no,
not because of the school fees,
altho its really expensive,
but the fact that you have to wear something differebnt everyday,
otherwise your friends will start to talk abt how you never change your clothes,
and how you wear the same thing every week.
that is very frustrating.
i mean, handling the stress from schoolwork alone is enough,
but having to face more from your friends?
that is not necessary.
so thats why i wanna go jc.
there,
uniform is an everyday thing,
and you only have to worry about you school work,
rather than your image.
don't get me wrong,
but image IS a fundamental part of everyone,
and we do have to look after it 24/7,
( yes, even in your sleep.)
but it is less stressful than the peer pressure u will have to face at poly.
nuff said.

now lets redirect your attention to my O level results.
well, i felt that i have one particularly well this time round.
honestly, i did anticipate the worst,
and the good.
the whole time i was a work during the week of the results,
i kept thinking of wad might happen to me if i failed my english,
or if i din get the results i wanted.
it was very scary.
then the day came,
and i had to work on that day.
i was very nervous that day.
i couldn't work properly,
and my hands were trembling.
but when i met my friends at school,
it seemed that all the fear and anxiety had faded away,
and only joy remained,
as though i had already done well.
not for the O levels,
but for making such wonderful friends.
my classmates.
oh, they're the best.
no matter how irritatingly noisy,
or painstakingly hard to ignore,
they are the best people to have around!

Then the results were drawing closer.
my classmate and i went to the hall to sit down.
as usual,
we took a very long time to settle down.
i think that part of us will never go away.
then the HOD for MT talked abt something,
and then the principal, Mr Toh,
talked about something.
i din actually paid atte4ntion,
because my mind was focused on my results.
then he had this power point slide thingy,
calling out the top scorers from our school.
first was,undoubtedly, joseph.
yep.
Cl b, easy subject combo,
no surprises there.
then shafienas's name appeared.
i was like
"Wow! Good for you nas! congrats!",
in my heart.

then
fazari's name apeared.
i was like
"OMG! fazari! woo hoo!"
this statement was a mixture of happiness, and jealousy.
this was the point of time when i felt that all hope for my name appearing there had gone away.
felt lonely, humiliated, defeated.
but then i held my head up,
and saw my name on the next slide!
i was super elated!
i din care wad i got at first,
but when i looked at my number of distinctions there,
i was super elated and extreme jubilance filled my huge body.
i obtained 2A1s, and 5A2s.
then the words of my malay teacher,
cikgu nor, played in my mind.
"Haniffa, you did very well. you got 2 A1s, 5A2s, and 1B4."
she told me this when i was paying my school fees at the general office.
i was skeptical of her at first,
but when i got my results,
i felt very happy cos she din lie to me and making me feel like i had a false sense of security.
after that,
everything that happened was a major blur to me.
i was looking at my result slip,
Thinking oft the hard work that i had put in to get them.
and also the teachers that had worked hard to help me help myself.
i looked at my results slip carefully,
and saw my resluts.

English A1
Combined Humans A1
E maths A2
A Maths A2
Biology A2
Chemistry A2
Physics B4
Malay A2
Malay oral/aural Distinction.

I didn't expect to get an A1 for both english AND combined humanities.
they are like my worst subjects ever,
which i got Cs for during my prelims.
and to get A1s for them,
is like a miracle.

well,
that is it really.
i felt very happy to know that my friends dod well too,
and felt sorry for those who didn't do as well.
Kudos to all,
and good luck!
i love you all!
will never forget you!!!!!!
Muakkkkzzzz!!!!!
