okay.
so now i have my results.
There's a system used for O'lvls called L1R5, whereby L is a Language(either english or chinese) and R comprises of Elementary math, combined humanities and three other best subjects.
As a guide before the moderation of marks 75% for a subject gives an A1, 70% A2 and so on, until F9, beyond which is U(ungraded).
A1 gives 1 point, A2 2 points, etc. Hence the lower the better.
So out of a minimum of 6 points, i got 6.
I was really, really elated, and happy.. only my Higher Chinese got B3(i was praying for a just pass) so you can imagine what it felt like.
You can also minus off points based on CCA(co-cirricular activity, mine is choir) and a pass for Higher Cl ..
which gives me 2 points for a net aggregate L1R5.
Herein comes the dilemma, whereby I am forced to make a decision between VJ(viotoria junior college, my secondary school's affiliate), HCI(hwa chong institution) and RJ(raffles junior college).
VJ has many of my seniors from VS, and many of my peers will probably go there. It's one of the top JCs in Singapore.
HCI is also a top post- secondary institution, but i never really visited the place and don't know its culture.
RJ is also one of the very best, and i have a direct bus there, but i really don't like its green painted walls(lol).
Hence if i place RJ as my top choice, i would feel like a betrayer.
If i go VJ, I would miss the opportunity to go to a better tertiary institution.
Sigh.
What's a guy got to do...?
Meanwhile, my close friends TY and JY have their own struggles. TY got 8 points and can go VJ, but he doesn't know what to put afterward. Psh.
JY got 9 points, very unluckily. I considered him my friendly rival in class, and in the SJCHO TY got silver while i got bronze (and JY too), so i was expecting him to do as well as me too.
All in all, I wish JY luck in his appeal to go VJ (cut-off point/COP is 4 for science stream). I do wish that we will all be in the same class again.. having the same banter... being... friends.
I value friendship very much, but i'm a sloth. When i leave, i stop my contacts... It's really sad. I hope i can be more pro-active, and just achieve the best i can in life and be content with it.
