* being cheerful *
The good news and the bad newsThe good news.
Hahaha mid years are done, results are out. And the results were supposed to be not so good. And I'm not supposed to be too happy with them. Anyway, after looking at some stuff, I became really happy with my marks :D
Most importantly, I want to thank Mr Tan and Mr Ng for successfully dismissing my appeals TWICE. Really, not kidding okay. It's called blessing in disguise. If not for them being "heartless", I would probably be 100+ position and on my way to Sec 4B-. Because 3B3 is a wake up call, no more complacency is present. It's like a driving force which just pushes you on. That, I thank them with true sincerity. No, I'm not kidding.
I got 53rd position, which is very A band-ish. A1 takes up the first 40 seats, so that means I successfully shamed the asses of most A2, A3 people. (See picture below)
And I managed top 80!!! This is like the best year even better than 1A1. Never got such a position before.
Sorry, a little bit high now, would have been higher if not for the bad news.
OUCH! Wait, actually it looks so DAMN SWEET :D You are happy at the expense of others.
65.9%, and that's pretty good considering how close it was to last years marks(Sec 2 to 3 is a jump). And sec 3 is where many people fail a lot.
Sadly, I'm only second in class (Dammit!!!!). Lost to Chester I guess I could have done better if not for what is know as The Chemistry Mistake(TCM). Anyway, never mind. It didn't have a catastrophic effect. And I'm happy :D
To beat the complacency which is likely to be present for semester 2, I have decided to work even harder. Thats the only way I can think of. Cannot drop standard, don't know how to maintain, then just got to try to improve and keep going faster and faster.
The bad news.
I never knew my father was more discouraging than my mum. Mum says okay good attitude keep it up, then she shuts up. Dad says " based on your PSLE you should be 20 not 53" I'm like WHAT THE HELL. I almost died and he still isn't satisfied. All I need was something positive from him and he had to give something negative.
And I prefer to be automatic and don't want people telling me to work harder, because I know I have to. Then he had to say it for me. Damn. This makes it harder to study, because you just lose the self-inspired motivation. It's like you're not the one making yourself work, but someone else. And thats stupid.
