alrights. so the sec 4s collected their O'level results todae. needless to say, some will do extremely well anD others, not as well.[i will most likely fall under the latter category when the A's is released.] YES. much as i dreaded, 2 wks later it will be myee turn. sitting in the school hall. all tensed. things are realli not looking good. not that i'm trying to be pessismistic and stuff [not as though things will turn out good if i stay optimistic anw] in any case, that's not gonna change my results that's prolly sitting in the moe office locked up in some cabinet right now. i realised how my fate's actualli sealed this time round. two years ago, i wasnt as worried when collecting myee O's. i dun remember suffering from insomnia daes before. that's onli cus i knew i had poly education to fall back on lest i cldnt make it fer jc. anD that i noe i wun be reduced to entering the ite. not that i'm looking down on ite. YES. everyone's saying that it's a way out too. that u can make it big even if u are merely from ite. that it's not the end of the world. well, nobody saes it is. i feel irritated when ppl sae that actualli. i'm not saying that it's not a way out. it is a way out indeed. but it's a route that no one wAnts if given a choice. see my point? that's just a mere excuse ppl are giving themselves. to break free from the guilt fer not putting in efforts in their stuDies. same here. YES. u can survive even without a degree. it wun be an easy way out though. it's just like this stretch of road that everyone takes. just that u dun haf the luxury to drive a car. u will be made to walk. or maybe if u are slightly more fortunate, u can ride a bike[ppl who are rich enuff fer overseas studies/private university] Like it anot, reality will smack right in your face as time goes by. pragmatism that is.
