Results of Promotional Exams 2003
Received most of my promotional exam results today, and what I have seen so far have been pretty uplifting. To think that all these days, I have been expecting nothing except to be retained in JC1 with the first impression that I would not do well. At this moment, I have 3 A and 1 AO passes, with the exception of General Paper, which results I have not received yet.
What surprised me most was Maths. Honestly, I did not even expect to pass Mathematics at all! Maths has always been my least favourite subject, and I am not very strong in it either. Mr Lim had always pointed out that my Mathematics foundation is weak, and that the number of careless mistakes which I unknowingly make would definitely kill me in the real A Level exams. No matter how much I try to be extra careful, it never works. In fact, the more I try, the worse it becomes. During the Maths promotional exam, I was rushing through the entire Maths paper, struggling to finish every single question in the stipulated time. So how on Earth could I have passed?
So miracles do exist after all.
However, passing all my papers does not mean that I can happily settle back and be satisfied with what I have. Despite having passed, most of these results did not please me one bit, especially Chinese and Chemistry, which I had just managed to scrape through. What is making things worse is the mere fact that the Chinese A Levels would be the week after next week. Have I studied? Nah! all my Chinese notes and stacked up in one corner, slowly gathering dust. Actually, I think even the dust would be much better than me in the subject, considering the amount of knowledge they would be soaking up by just laying there on my notes…
I am feeling more relaxed now, knowing that I have managed to cross this huge hurdle to head towards Year 2. I have heard from many people that the work done in Year 2 would be so much tougher and I would have to be prepared to work hard. So, I am aiming to enjoy my year end holidays to the fullest so that I can soak up as much enjoyment time before hitting the books once again in January 2004.
Sigh… Mr Wong Yew Hoong would be back in TPJC from next week onwards after being missing in action due to reservist callback. This means that my Chinese tutorial class can expect to receive a huge scolding from him once again due to our atrocious Chinese results (50% of the students in my class had failed). This would also mean that I would have to do some last minute shopping for reliable ear plugs to drown out the sound of his reprimanding. Either that, or I shall drown him out by imagining that I am watching a soap opera…

Wow, your teachers sure mark fast! It’s great that you passed most subjects so far, I’m sure the grades will improve a lot by the end of next year. :) I’m still worrying over my results… 2 people in my class failed math and I’m scared I’m 1 of them since my math is weak too… *sigh*
