The Path

Thursday, June 21, 2007

harlow,

today I had my Enterprize module, my faci went overseas, therefore another faci came to take over his place. the new faci was very kind. and the RJ today was about something to work hard about not about luck.

I wrote:

Well, for me I think my personal success would be the time I received my O level results.

1st and fore most, why I said that? Because, its due to my prelims and mid year results. It was horrible, clinching a 42 L1R5 score.

Results for prelims and mid year were the same:
Chinese - B4
English - E8
E.Maths - C6
A.Maths - F9
Combined humanities - F9
Combined Science (bio,chem) - C6
Additional subject, Food and Nutrition - C5

This was how horrible I did during my life in school.

Because of the fear I had in mind, 2 weeks before O levels, I was studying like a crazy-man. Study in the morning from at 8am to 3am the next day. In those 2 weeks of tentative revision, I survived the O levels. However, my hard work was partially the reason I survived through O levels, but not forgetting about my teachers, they were very understanding, they gave me additional revisions, at that point of time I really see myself CHANGED as a person, a person who knows when to take things seriously.

If I have the chance to relive that year, I will work doubly hard. But it’s impossible.

And I would want to thank my A.maths teacher (Ms Lim) especially, she was a very understanding and caring teacher I had seen so far. When I was in Secondary 3 and 4, throughout the 2 years, I had never failed to score a F9. I was utterly disappointed in my results, and I felt so sorry to my teacher. My teacher never scolds me, yet she constantly encourages me to work harder.

And also wanting to thank my H.O.D of maths. At that time, I was very disliked by my MATHS H.O.D, she told me one sentence that I will never forget, “Lionel, I don’t see the point of you taking A.maths, when you are producing such lousy results, you would only bring the school’s percentage of passes down, and I hope you can forget about taking A.maths, if you fail your prelims I ask the school to ban you from taking A.maths for O levels.” I replied: “You will never know, when miracles will happen.” She replied: “miracles don’t happen so easily, and I believe it will not happen on you.” I was so angry about her comments about me. Well, I just thought that it was a FART sound, in order to calm down.

After 2 weeks of HARD WORK, results on O levels: scoring a 22 for L1R5, 18 for L1R2B2. with CCA deductions.

Chinese – B4 to C5
English – E8 to C6
E.Maths – C6 to B3
A.Maths - F9 to B4
Combined humanities - F9 to B4
Combined Science (bio,chem) - C6 to B3
Additional subject, Food and Nutrition - C5 to B3

I felt so happy, I did it. I survived my hardest 2 weeks of my life to score an unbelievable result. (When my parents and I, didn’t believe I did so well.) A difference of 20 points, how can I do such unbelievable things, I wondered. And its purely hard work.

I cant believe I actually wrote my 2 weeks of survival for Os in my RJ. and its so long.. so omg.. hahas.. okok.. i am tired. soon going to sleep.. well sleep early all my frens.. =)

would u be there.
