My Black & White Life

Hi! Today was such an exhilarating and heart stopping day... It was the day of the release of Os results, I was glad I was able to sleep the whole night through until around 11 am in the morning before I changed and went out to meet Yun Yi, Adwin & Mithiran for lunch. We had a great time together before we went to school to collect the results.

When we got to school, it was around 1.50pm so we went to the hall, waited for another 10 minutes and it was time! It started off with a presentation on admin matters by the VP then on to the results in general for the whole school and finally the individual top scorers, I was happy and sad for that part, happy for my friends who made it to the top 20 and sad that I wasn't part of it, it was sort of ironic..

But o well, human nature. I got 11 for L1R5 in the end and I thought it was like WTH cause I wanted at the very least a 10 so that I could make it to AJC safely but still I thought for a whole 2 hours before I came to a conclusion that it was fine and I could still make it to AJC if my testimonial was good enough, so I would definitely strive for it and hopefully, I get in.

To all of you who didn't do as well as what you wanted, I have this to say : it is fine, just move and don't dwell on it any longer as it will definitely affect you emotionally, nothing will be changed at the end of the day and worse of all, it may destroy you completely and lead you to commit suicide. So why not just move on and do your best in every single thing you do now?

I have also one quote to encourage you, 'When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.'

Thats all I guess, congrats to all those that have done well and continue to strive on, for all those who have not, GAMBATTE! =)

God Bless,
Joshua Yeo
