I've submitted my application. Like so finally. My mum dragged me out of bed at 9am so that I could get it done. On top of that, she's been really cranky. And not to mention, CRAZY.
I didn't know choosing JCs were such tough decisions to make. So many factors to consider, so many "research" to be done before the final decision is made. I'm kind of jealous of those people whose parents have had some form of higher education and hence would be able to give them some guide or tip or two of which JC and what course to choose. My parents, unfortunately, didn't receive a very high level of education. Hence, all my mum could say was, "choose what you want." And of course, in addition to a few comments that hinted that the top 5 JCs would oviously be better. My Dad? He told me to try out for Shuqun, which is located just opposite my house, so that I can wake up at a later time before heading to school. Just FYI, Shuqun is FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL KIDS. I must have looked like someone who had failed O-levels to him. I can't blame him though. Being in his sixties, he's old enough to be my grandfather already. Maybe I should stop addressing him as Pa, and call him Ah Gong instead. Maybe it's time he "wake up his idea already".
Anyway, my heart still has lots of resentment when I submitted my application though. I can't believe I put the school that I didn't really want to get into as my first choice. But I can't help it though, since S'pore is a place that scrutinises your academic records. I'm just pissed at myself for not being able to compete with my sister. AGAIN. She's always in a better school than me. Since Secondary school to JC. Even though the age gap between me and her is relatively huge, I still secretly hope that my studies can be as good or even better than her. In another way, it means that she cannot laugh at me for doing worst than her in my studies. Ok, so she's beaten me at PSLE, but we were equal for our O-levels score. Since she took HMT, which means she's got 9-4 and I only had 7 - 2. But since she made it to a better school, in other words, she has once again beaten me at the Os. Bleh.
I'M GONNA MUG LIKE CRAZY AND DO WELL FOR As!!!!
To the school which has entirely grey coloured uniform, please take me into your science stream! It's just a friggin 1 point difference. I'll go there and mug like crazy. (I sound like some total asshole here) I WILL MUG!
- It's not like any of the people there will be reading this though-
It's heartening to know that about half of the tofus are applying for the same JC. I'm not worried about making in to that JC, but it's just that I want a better one. Furthermore, I don't really like the idea of having swimming as their P.E lessons. Do you guys remember this?
Wherever she may be,
Part of Delta 09' will she be.
I hope it'll stand throughout our lives. I can't wait to see the time when we'll all get married and have our own kids. (I think I'm thinking way too far...) By that time, our conversation topics may have switched from the usual gossips about NC, to ideal bfs, to complains about bfs, to complains about husbands and finally the wierd things our kids does. BUT I WON'T LOSE MY BET NO MATTER WHAT LYS! You'll see. :D
I was reading through my testimonial again and I was struck by the last paragraph by which Mr Loh wrote. This is what was written:
Shu Mei is a gracious young lady who possesses maturity beyond her age and excels in self-supervision and self-improvement. She has potential to succeed in all her future endeavours.
Ok, go ahead and have a good laugh. I bet you peeps reading this now would be thinking that something is seriously wrong with my form teacher. This lame, bimbo-wannabe person called KSM actually possesses maturity beyond her age? This is simply hilarious. Whatever~ I guess this is a standard way most teachers would end their testimonial so that it will give an overall good conclusion of the student.
I'm kinda interested to read what is written for someone's else testimonial. Seriously, the language used is really POWERFUL. Tofus, if you have the time and are willing to share, please post up your testimonials at part blog. TYVM.
