So the J1 finally knew about their results. Haha. Guess all of them felt great anxiety before they got it. For me last year, I only felt it when I walk towards my form teacher to get the certificate, regretting that I did not study for the exams. Fortunately, everything went well, though I failed on my mission to get a C6 for my eng =s Nvm, this entry is for all the newly recipient of the 'O' lvl certificate =)
Noone believes me when I told them that there was nothing to worry about. If you had pass your prelims and managed to come to JJ, then there's a huge chance that you'll get around the same L1R5 as your prelims. Even if you think you'll do badly in a subject, there's always the moderation that will help you hugely. Haha. Think it's bcos of the moderation that I got a respectable score =) Anyway, most of the ppl in my Og got less points than me and for this, I'm glad for them =) Now, it's just a matter of choosing the right school. For me, any school is the same, it's how you take your chances that makes the difference. JJ isnt really a gd academic school. And this is an important factor if we want to know why students arent liking coming to JJ. However, they should also give a chance for this school to improve. Ever since Mr.Koh arrives as principal, JJ has slowly been improving at all aspect; be it academics or IDPs. There's a huge difference between 2 years ago as compared to JJ now. Though it's not the greatest school in the world, it'll nevertheless provide you with the experience which you'll never get elsewhere. And new young teachers with fresh ideas are being posted to JJ this year. And from what I heard, some of this teachers are really gd. Thus, a future in JJ really looks promising =P
Haha. Okae. Advertisement over. Time to get serious =P... Follow your heart. It'll light you the correct path. Dont listen to parents, friends, Ogls, etc. Take their advice but dont follow blindly what they think is best for you. Spread out the options and evaluate which option is the best. Only you know yourself. Even if you find that you've make a mistake later, at least you can console yourself, knowing that you make the decision yourself freely and willingly. And sometimes, you can be v.motivated to work harder if a choice is not being force upon you =) Bottom line is...make a decision and live with it. No regrets. Regrets will only bring a greater problem in the future =P
And finally, I'm speechlessly glad that my sec 5 cousin got a 20pt for his L1R4. It was really unexpected. I feel so glad for my closest cousin. Sure, to most of you, his pts is pathetic but for someone who only got a 150 for his PSLE, this result is superb. Noone expect him to achieve it. It's a nice surprise =) Now, he can go to a polytechnie instead of ITE, though his choices is limited since he failed his english. I'm feeling a little guilty though. I could have taught him in maths so he can get another A1( beside his MT) but I was too busy with my own stuff last yr =( Nvm, he has still manage to do well without me and for this I'm happy for him =))...ciao
