Ytd was the release of the O lvl results.
i wanted to go to temasek but my sis don allow...

so i wanted to waste the day mapling, but zhicong msg-ed me,
so we met up and off we went on a route so familiar..

One year passed so fast,
it was last year that i witness someth similar.
students gathered anxiously infront,
juniors flooded the back of the hall as well as the gallery.

the only difference was last year i came not knowing anybody,
this year i hear the sweetest sound on earth " Miss Chua!!!!"
And im SO HAPPY to be able to see my career guidance room colleagues!!
NIE trainees now full fledged teachers..

It was so nostalgic!

When the results were announced,
i was so anxious for the students!
I felt happy for those that did really well (AND THIS YEAR THEY WERE BETTER THAN NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR MANY SUBJECTS!!)
but it broke my heart to see my basketballers cry..

the most touching sight was when the whole sch cheered for the 5N
classes!

They did better than national average for every single subject!
they did even better than half of the 4 express classes!
I am so proud of them!
They were really a highly motivated bunch!

i almost cried when i saw one one the top student in 5N running to his
history teacher and
shake her hand ever so gratefully.
i cant hear from afar but i can see him
mouthing a big "thankyou"..
NIGHTS and NIGHTS of night classes, HOURS and HOURS of preparation and chiong-ing tgt...
Im not his teacher, but im sure all teachers could sense the pride and happiness and thankfulness of this child and be encouraged.
Incidents like this is enough to sustain a whole year of blood and
sweat =)

OH MAN>< ><>
MOE PLEASE..
it's much more challenging but it's so rewardingggg....

haha
on another high note, my sister did very very well for her O levels...
Her late nights and midnight oils paid off.
haha my screamings and stresses and sitting under the blocks and starbucks paid off too..

i didn really help her last year, but luckily she was v.motivated
herself.
Really needa thank God for her amazing 360degree transformation..

from a super-emo-depressed-angry-closedup girl to one that puts her life and trust in God and is ever so optimistic and motivated=)

you deserve the 7 distinctions =) All glory be to God =)
