Results
It's the first day of school after prelims. Honestly, I was quite excited to go back to school because I was dreaming of the possibility of getting good results. I always think that there's this possibility of getting good results, and I get excited all over. Then, when I think about the opposite, especially about GP, I suddenly get afraid.
Chemistry was the first period today. Tell you a secret, I thought that I would probably do not bad this time. While the papers were being given out, Mr Lim said there was only 1 A. We all knew it was Livia. Then, he asked us to guess who made the most improvement. He hinted that it was actually someone he didn't expect.
Honestly, in my heart, I was hoping that person to be me, cos I really studied for Chem this time round. But, it was Kendrick. I was quite disappointed, but maybe I didn't study that hard enough. So never mind.
After calculating my marks, I got 50.75%. I'm short for 0.5% to get D! (whatever decimal points will be rounded up) I was disappointed when I saw my marks, cos I was hoping for a B (probably wishful thinking on my part) or maybe even a C.
I definitely need to find more marks later. I can't get E! It won't look nice on my prelims results slip.
For Physics, we only received papers 1 and 2. It's still possible to get A. If not, I want to get B. Below that and I'll be sad.
Maths was good though. I still remember that I didn't do very well. And was expecting a C even. But surprise surprise, I got A. Yay!! :) Very happy about this.
Maths S later was fine too. I got 49 (out of 100), but it's not too bad considering I didn't do tutorials regularly. Besides, 63% of the students got less than 50 so I suppose my results aren't too bad. 50 is at least a merit, but the cut off points has not been decided yet. Should be able to get a merit for this one.
We haven't get back our Econs and Econs S papers yet, but I suspect I did not too bad for Econs so I'm excited to receive it. Though we can only get it next week.
We'll probably receive GP papers tomorrow. That's the one I'm really worried about. Hope it's ok.
Actually, I don't like it when people keep saying that they won't do well, but their results shows otherwise. It's somewhat too humble for my liking. I know I'm guilty of that sometimes, but it's only when I really expect not to do well, just like that maths paper.
It's only here that I confess about which papers I think I'm going to do well. Cos if I say it out loud, people may think I'm stuck up, then it's embarrassing when I don't do as well as I claim to.
Anyway, today is my brother's birthday. I bought a bottle of hair wax for his present. Haha... Cos I didn't know what to get for him, and since he's always doing stuff to his hair, I might as well get his a jar of good wax. It costs $11 by the way, before the 15% discount. Really expensive...
