...And so I managed to get nine points!

The day went by in a blur. I was bloody worried as I walked up to collect my results slip. Plus I could feel all eyes on me as I was the first in class to get my results. And then Mrs Fong said I did well and I had six distinctions, but it didn't really hit me yet at that point in time. I did better than I expected in the end... so that's really great!

It turned out that Dunman had improved yet again this year! So our batch managed to prove the teachers wrong and pulled up the school's academic standards, despite last year's fantastic results. Best thing was, the distinction rate increased for every single subject!

I had A1s for English, Humanities and E Maths. Surprisingly, I managed to score all A2s for all three sciences, something which I deemed unachieveable a long long time ago. And the best surprise would have to be A Maths, which I scored a B3, far from the usual E8/F9 grade. Damn, I now owe Karen a bubble tea treat.

I was really glad to see all my friends around me doing well, and seeing them all happy and smiling made me feel really good. Lucky there weren't any disappointed friends to comfort, and we could all be happy together!

We hung out after that, and Karen went to get a hair cut. I must say she really looks a tad Taiwanese now, lol, with the 'dumb fringe' the hair woman cut for her. We still don't know why they call it a 'dumb fringe'. Hahahaha.. and sometimes we laugh when we see her in her new hair... I guess it's just gonna take a bit of getting used to it lah.

And then we had a really late dinner at Ajisen, where we took a lot of photos again (mainly of Karen and new hairdo) but I'd post them up later.

I'm so glad that my parents are so happy about my results. And all my efforts have paid off so handsomely. The satisfaction is really unlike any other kind you can ask for, and you just feel this sense of achievement and release once everything is good and over. Now it's time to crack my head over which school to choose!
