Joy and Agony

Today was the day all Form 5 students from 2008 dreaded would arrive,
yet anchored so much anticipation for it.

If you were either living under a rock, or just not from Malaysia,
today we collected our SPM results.

To all those out there who don't know what it is, look it up.

To those in Malaysia, here's my results.

English 1A
EST 2A
Sejarah 3B
BM 3B
Maths 5C
Moral 6C
Add. Maths 6C
Physics 7D
Cheminstry 7D
Accounts 9G

Well, at least I have more than 5 Credits, which are enough for TOA's Degree program.

I'm not very contented with my results, but I couldn't really complain.

Here's the thing. Many people were not contented at all with their results as well.
No surprise there.

Many got results that were less than what they expected. Some, on the other hand, got more.

Congrats to Ling on her straight A's.
=)P

One person did catch my attention more than the rest
when she said she wasn't happy about her results.

Rose.
She said she felt depressed because of her 4A's. I think she did great!
Honestly, it's not a competition with the rest! There's no winner or loser in this thing!
I'm glad she scored enough to remain in her S.A.M. classes in college.
I'm glad she managed to get 4A's.
She deserved better, no doubt about it.
But still, 4A's can still go a long way.

The funniest part was, she admitted she swore out loud in front of her friend.
Haha, that's honestly the first time I've seen a sassy-er side to her.
Here's what I had to say about that to her.

"I would give up my 2As just to see you swear at that time =)"

Honestly? I would.

But, as most of my conversations with her,
it ended with no reply from her after a few messages.

I don't feel offended or anything. She's quite oblivious to text messages sometimes.
She admitted that to me last time.

But still, I miss chatting with her like this.
I miss having a full conversation with her, having no hindrance or sudden AWOLs.


Anyway, I wish to say congrats to all those who collected your results today.
We all worked hard for it, and we may have deserved better, but we made it through.
And for now, that's all that matters.

This part of our lives are over.
Let's look forward to the next.
