I did realise something on the day of the results, though. Olevel is one of the very few examinations that take place on a plain field. Well of course not literally but we are all equal in Olevels' eyes. It doesn't matter who you are as a person or how well you have done so far in school, whether you handed in the over- dued projects 2 years ago or if you've backstabbed a friend back in 2004. It really just boils down to that one paper. Having said that, there were quite a few pleasant surprises. Like Theophilus, snagging top positions in both English Language and Elective Literature! And Denise Chan who has achieved 10 points and Zheng Jie 9 points! Aqila also achieved 12 points, kicking my ass by 1 point. Congratulations to all!
They really made me put my life into perspective now. What I did, or didn't do in the past really does not matter nor will it ever define me. It's now that counts.
To those who did not really achieve your target aggregate, no need to fret for it is not the end of the world. Accept your results with dignity, dry those tears and make wise second moves. Maybe it's not your time to shine yet. But you will in the next phase of your life.
Remember, life is good. It gives us second chances.
Alhamdulillah.
Know this: It is very unlucky to have a dinner table set for 13 people. It is believed that the first person to leave the table will die within a year. Some people believe the death of Jesus proves this.
