I know everyone doesn’t want to hear this. I know everyone will read this and want to strangle me or stab me or something. But I’m going to say it anyway, because it’s worth it: I got 8 points for Prelims! That’s before bonus deduction. Yup.
I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t get an A1 in both Maths. Got an A1 in A Maths but an A2 in E Maths. The stupid E Maths Paper I pulled my marks DOWN. UGH. And I got an A2 AGAIN in Chinese. Blah. My Chinese just sucks. I was quite proud for my A Maths marks. I had a 63/80 for Paper I and a 78/80 for Paper II. But here I will admit that the A Maths paper was easy and many people in the level scored distinctions. Yeah, that kind of makes my achievement less... interesting? I dunno. Less shiny. Haha.
Where can I go with eight points? I’m throwing ACJC out of the window now, hopefully. I don’t want to go there, for reasons already mentioned a few posts below. I think I’ll go to NJC, if my points allow it. I’m rather afraid to go to HCJC because of all the super brainy people there. There’s going to be so much pressure.
I think I work better under less pressure. I opted for the EM1 stream in P4, but was put in a pure, none-op EM1 class in P5. Everyone was scoring really high, and I was the lousiest student in class, scoring 60s and 70s and failing my Higher Chinese really badly. I didn’t do that great in the PSLE either– got a 226, which was really sucky. I must thank God or whatever entity that holds my life in his hands that I got back to SNGS. Yup. Because of my sucky mark, I was put in an average class in Sec 1. I didn’t shine in Sec 1, was a normal, failing test kid. In Sec 2 I began to buck up, but not enough to be streamed into pure Science or anything. Ended up in the most awesome double Science class in the whole world, 4D. I must say our class rocks. It’s indisputable. Teachers love us (haha, teacher’s pet class), and we love ourselves too (that sounds SOOO ego).
I’m going off on a different tangent. Sorry. What I meant to say is, in primary school, I was under a lot of pressure (really?) to do well because my classmates were all scoring really high. Oh, and I have to mention, 90% of my former P6 classmates are like, in triple-Science or Special stream or in other top schools. Yeah. Anyway, when I went to secondary school, I wasn’t in a top class or anything. In fact I was in one of the three out of eleven express classes in the school. So you know, bottom of the low. Haha.
I’m really long-winded. Sorry. So yeah, I’ve proven that I do better under less stress, and NJC gives me the impression that it is perhaps (marginally?) less stressful than HCJC will be. So I’ll go to NJC if they’ll take me. Science faculty, of course. Nevernevernever doing humanities. I’ll flunk. I dunno. I just prefer Maths/Science. See the score tally: Maths/Science: 3 A1s, 1 A2; Humanities: 2 A2s. Yeah. You get the point.
Okay, have you finished throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes and fish entrails at me? Good, because I’m going to take a bath now.
