Some of you guys might be wondering why I sounded so upbeat and well... energetic in the previous post. I was really, really upset at first when I first received my results. The pressure and anxiousness of doing badly did well up inside, before it overflowed as reality did indeed reflect my sense of foreboding. But after much encouragement from my parents, I managed to accept my lousy results. I just needed a few days, maybe 2-3 days before I managed to accept my grades. It is not even mediocre, considering the number of people getting straight As from MJC and the 100+ more people in RJC. OH yes, and it seems that my school's average is at least 2 As. So you can imagine my grades... Thank you those who encouraged me just by calling to find out how I am and some for offering words of encouragement through smses, particularly EC for calling me up and Faith for dragging me to the scholarship talk on interviews and writing a personal statement despite reality that my grades would not prove to be much of a fighting chance. But hey, that talk is also rather useful for future job interviews too and for those considering discretionary admission. On a happier note, my family has been rather encouraging and the new friends I made in Akido are really fun to be with. Kimberly for example is my chatting partner when it's time to practice the moves taught as she keeps me updated on the current and upcoming affairs that she is experiencing as a JC1. hahax. Then the most amusing part was the faces of disbelief that I find on the faces of Akido peeps when they found out that I've actually graduated from MJC and even taken A levels (Most of them are in secondary schools). One guy, 5 years younger than me (same age as my youngest sister) even sparred with me just to confirm that I am actually 18. He said that I looked like a secondary 4 student at most. So I'm now 4 years younger. hahax. ^^ Then I'm called an auntie by "chao ta" (coz I didn't know his name till today's lesson) and a primary 5 kid by this secondary 4 Anglican High guy. How contradicting. And yeah, I also get suaned for being short which contributes to the secondary 4 age. And it's kind of weird being a kouhai (junior) when I'm supposed to be a senpai (senior)... Isn't it? I hope that I can continue Akido lessons. It helped lift my spirits today a lot. ^^ And yep, that's the latest update though I kind of missed out on the careers and academic talk at suntec last saturday and the baking of chocolates 2 at my house many many weeks before. Drop by Hayden's blog if you're interested. I'm too lazy to type an update on that. Also, check out my previous post since I think I will be tying up loose knots of my previous posts before posting. =) Btw, I lost 1.5 kg and I'm nearly reaching my goal of getting back my original weight. \(^o^)/ But I've not been jogging. =( Date me out for some outing okay?
