 O levels struggle  Wednesday, February 28, 2018
Hi I'm back. Ever since I stopped blogging after my last post, a lot of things
has happen. So here's a short timeline.
May: Chinese O levels
June: Holiday/summer break Study/Supp Classes
July-Aug: Study
Aug: Chinese O level Result
Sep-Oct: Preliminary Exam
Oct-Nov: O levels
Nov - Jan: Working
23 Jan: O levels Result Day
So, I have to clarify that I'm not a smart person and not those geeky kind that will score
like A1 for all of my subjects but I can said that I'm satisfied and thankful for the result that
I got. I got back my chinese result really early during august and I've attainted an A2 which
makes me really really glad. I remember those days of chinese supplementary classes
whereby teachers flood us with tons of paper 1 and paper 2 to do. It's seriously damn tedious
but everyone work hard especially for that 2 weeks of chinese lesson every single day.
Well, after getting back my chinese result. I also took a long break from work as I have to
prepare for my o levels.
That period was the beginning of my toughest time.
Firstly, it was the period of EAE application period. I was really excited
because I came back to sec 5 mainly for this. I knew that with the N levels marks that I got
it is difficult to get into the course that I really want. With this EAE scheme,
I'll be able to get into any course as long as I met the requirements and get below 26pts.
Well, the course that I've been dying to get in is Singapore Poly Integrated Events &
Project Management. I really love planning events and I feel that it actually brings people
together. But sadly, I failed the 1st round of test for the course. I was so so upset. I cried
that day, and I kept thinking without EAE, how am I going to get into even any course?
But I was a given chance, a chance to another course, Interior Design. At first, I hesitated
because even though I like it but I'm not confident of actually working in this industry
in the future. Well, design to me is pretty complicated. People that do well, do really well with
their outstanding and innovative design but for people that don't do well, its like a
dead end. But still, I remember Alicia was sitting by my side and saying that, at least you
got this EAE spot. With only less than 26 pts, you can get into a 16pts course.
I was debating and I know that with my capability, its hard to get into a course with my raw pts.
So in the end, I accepted this course.
Secondly, I remember I got back my prelim result around september.
I'm not surprised but rather upset, disappointed at myself for this.
I knew that I have not been working hard enough and I have been
slacking off.
I thought back to myself, with this marks I cannot even get into EAE or
any poly. And from then on, I started working hard.
This paper was the paper that bitch slapped me so hard that I woke up.
So yea, from then on I work hard.
I remember doing the Mathematics TYS topical every single day.
Also I hand up english compo and situational writing to my teacher every week.
I also went back for extra mathematics lesson every saturday which helps me a lot.
Yes and indeed, I took a lot of my stressful and dying pics XD
From staying up late to coffee bean study alone, I'm glad I survive.
Well after o levels ended, everyone anticipated on their result.
They always said you reap what you sow, you sow what you reap.
I remember I was being so nervous on the result day. Actually not just me,
but everyone. I was holding to yuki's hands and telling her that "I hope
everyone did well, like well enough to just go poly".
When it was my turn, I signed the paper but I didn't see my marks.
I mean I was interested in my marks but I'm more interested in whether
if I've secure a place in interior design. So I open the envelop for the JAE first.
And I got this.
I WAS SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL.
Till now, this joy is still deep down in my heart.
I'm glad because I've fully utilised 2017 to study hard and do well for o levels.
I'm glad because I get into the course that I am interested in.
But I couldn't have made it without the supporters behind me,
my family, my teachers and my friends.
Thank you so much!
That's all for today, I'll be dedicating a post to them in my next post.
Also I'll be going to taiwan next week, so I'll be writing another post on it
when I return.
