24th January 2008. 2pm. Where it all ends. If you thought its just mere 3 more days, don't be, it feels like just mere 3 seconds before everything for the past 4 years of your academic performance is reflected across that pink-white slip. All there in BLACK AND WHITE. All there to state your paticulars, your amount of O Level passes and your passport for the future.
People might take it easy of O Levels. However, I think differently. O Level has yet been the most important academic certificate any Singaporean must attain. Without your Os, you're a complete zero. Am I right? Even employment opportunities are so scarce now that those with degrees even find it hard to get a job! When I thought about this after getting confirmation about the issuing of results early today, I felt so teary and emotional. I wondered if I ever will do well. I know I will. Cause I know I've worked damn hard. Too hard I might say. All those late nights at McDonalds with 30 practice papers laid out on tables that could merely fit a McDonalds Extra Value Meal. All those kanchong feeling each time the exams for the prelims cum O Level gets nearer. How it felt so good when O Levels was finally over. =D
Though they were some regrets and to think about that makes me foolish. Like others say, we all think when it's too late to be thinking about it in the 1st place? Makes sense. I've always regretted everytime I had free period in class. Instead of attempting Maths or Science qns, I'll prolly wander into my own land or engage in conversation that hmm.. non-examinable topics. I've regretted for following my instincts to not listen in class when its gets too boring. Its par and parcel of life I guess. Everyone goes through this.
But, 24th January 2008 will be a remarkable date I'll forever remember. To those who have no confidence about the results, NEVER AND DON'T BE! YOU KNOW YOU HAVE WORKED HARD AND YOU KNOW YOU WILL DO WELL. TO THINK NEGATIVELY WILL ONLY MAKE YOU FEEL WORST DEEP INSIDE. ITS THE TIME TO REJOICE. Something that you will never get to feel it ever again.
GOOD LUCK FELLOW O-LEVEL RECEIPIENTS.
=D
