Saikou moment! O' Level Results

Today, i received my O' Level Results...
Apparently, from what Mr. Lak has told us,
we actually did quite better than last years,
in terms of passes,
but quality wise was worse...
As for me,
here's my results:
English - C6 (WTF!!!)
E.Maths - A2 (pity not an A1...)
A.Maths - A2 (finally got an A...)
Biology - B3 (y not an A2!!!)
Physics - B3 (WTF!!! How the hell did i get that!!!)
Chemistry - C6 (okay... i dun care...)
Chinese - B4 (At least i went up by one grade... even with a Pass for Oral...)
L1R4 - 15
L1R5 - 18
Bonus points - 2
So this is it...
My comments are there already...
went around asking my 58th friends for their results, many did better than me...
There are some who needed my help...
So i will find ways to help them later...
Hope everyone got what they wanted!!!

The dawn of that Fateful day...

Today,

9 January 2010,

is 2 days before the release of the O' Level Results...

I really don't know whether or not i have done well for this examinations or not,

but whenever i think or the worse,

i couldn't help regreting how i have been studying throughout the past 2 years...

However,

i have never once regret doing so,

as my actions has helped me find yet another goal in life,

and that is NCC!!!

NCC has given me so much wonderful experiences,

which i will never regret.

It has taught me so much,

with regards to actual work and training,

so many different experiences has really enriched my life.

I am only 16, going to be 17 soon,

and yet i have learnt a lot from all my seniors, mentors, teachers, old-timers, etc.

As i await my results,

i have to calm myself down,

and really reflect and think of the future.

Be it bright or dark,

i have to move on!!!

For as i heard:


"With strength as a goal, I will become even stronger... always as much as necessary." - Tendou Souji

Busy busy busy...

OMG!

NCC Affirmation Ceremony is driving me nuts!!!

Guess really have no choice since we are 3 months behind schedule...

Not our fault though,

no manpower was there when they called for people last October.

So, the last line of defence was to get people from the 58th COC lor!

Meetings to attend one after another,

very busy...

Can't imagine that if i enter a JC,

i will be even more BUSY!

Will i be able to cope with NCC and JC life,

that is a question i cannot answer now...

But i have to face it sooner or later...

So i definitely cannot give up now!!!

All the way! Potest Qui Vult!

Once upon a time...

Today was supposed to be the first day of school for Seconday and Primary School students...
After going through 10 years of such life,
it's no wonder that i am bored now... Really need something to do!!!
Guess there is nothing much to do except to emo at home...
LOL...
Thankfully i will be going out for the next 4 days.
Tues: Meeting with Captain Dickson about the Affirmation Ceremony
Wed: Back to School for NCC Air Meeting
Thurs: Decoration Committee Meeting
Fri: Recce@Singapore Expo
Yes!!! At least i won't be that bored before i receive my O' Level results!!!
Thank Heavens...
Guess all i can do at home is enjoy myself for the time being...

These are the 13 Chapters of 2009,

so… lets get started on my 2009 journey!


New Year Arc (Jan 2009)

The beginning of my O’ Level Year!

A new start to prove myself,

as I made many mistakes and failures last year.

My results were unsatisfactory,

but that is not gonna pull me down!

Cos, I have to work hard!!!

To get to the JC or Poly of my choice,

and to make my parents proud of me!

I took 4 re-examinations (A.Maths, Chem, Physics and Bio)

But I only passed A.Maths…

Sadly yes…

And was constantly asked to drop to Combined Science or drop the subject.

I refused, and continued to take those subjects,

cos I knew the extra information would benefit me if I enter a JC!

It was during this period when I received my appointment in Student Council as Treasurer and in NCC Air as the new Unit Sergeant Major (USM).

I was very happy with these 2 achievements


Chinese New Year Arc (Jan/Feb 2009)

The Student Council led by me organised 2 activities for the Marine Parade Residents.

One, was a small Chinese New Year celebration for the Old Folks living there.

Another, was organising 6 games for their Marine Parade Family Day cum Chinese New Year Celebrations!!!

Both events were headed by me,

No idea why, but that’s just the way it is…

Both of them were successful though,

Especially the Family Day,

As it was recognised as my project!


Freestyle Drills Arc (Feb/Mar 2009)

It was since end January when I started training my FSD Team for this year’s Freestyle Drill Competition.

It was a lot of hard work for me and my cadets as we stayed back every Friday to train for this competition held in early March for Air and Sea Districts.

Before our competition day,

I bought some of my cadets to watch the West FSD Competition as well as to meet my Camp Pinnacle friends from RVHS (G),

Qiao Wei and Joycelin.

Their routine was absolutely amazing!

I was very impressed with their performance,

Though there was a screw up at the start,

but she managed to pull the rest off excellently and confidently!!!

Even in spite of that,

They managed to claim 1st place amongst all the West District Units!!!

Our competition was next,

But sadly, we didn’t make it.

But no matter, there is still next year!!!

Finals was next,

I went alone to cheer on Qiao Wei and Joycelin again,

And they took 3rd place amongst all the NCC units!!!

Really happy for them!

Hope that they will shine again next year!

This event was one of my happiest moments so far!


Company Camp Arc (Mar 2009)

My company camp was during the March Holidays,

Clash with Advanced Drill Course, so cannot go… Sad L

But then again,

This year’s camp was fun,

Organised by my part and the Sec 5s,

I can proudly say that I have gotten to know my part mates better, same goes for my seniors!

It was a long 3 days of fun,

And those were one of my happiest moments of 2009!


Speech Day & Sports Day Arc (Apr 2009)

After March holidays,

Next up was our Speech Day,

Where this year,

NCDCC is our Guard-of-Honour.

I was NCC Air’s Contingent Commander

As well as one of the prestigious awardees!!!

The NCC Lim Soo Houw Award!!!

Never heard of it…

But was really glad that I got it,

As I was the 1st name of the Shield!!!

Really proud of myself!


This was followed by Sports Day,

Where we sold Bubble Tea and canned drinks again for the students body.

It was yet another successful event,

As everything went well and we managed to earn profit out of the drinks we sold!


Mid Year Arc (May 2009)

The Mid Years are up next!

I did my best!

But still failed 5 subjects…

I don’t know what is wrong with me…

Was it my studying method,

Or it is just that my answering technique and knowledge isn’t up to standard yet…

All I can do for now,

Is to work harder for the Prelims!!!


June Holiday Arc (June 2009)

Lots of catching up to do!

Had many remedial lessons during the first 2 weeks,

All went well,

Until the 3rd week when my favourite part C cadets went on their Specialist Course…

I was very worried for them at first,

But when I went to ask them for their results,

I was more than happy as many of them got 2SG,

Exactly 15/20 of them got it!!!

That was an achievement to be proud off!!!


SPS Family Carnival Arc (July 2009)

It was one the 3rd week Friday when I was informed that the Student Council had to plan a Haunted House…

As usual,

My President was a no show,

As he said he would have no time cos of LLTC…

Was wondering what if I agreed to becoming and LLTC OT this year again,

What would happen?

Apparently,

No one did anything until the 4th week Friday, when we had a meeting…

Despite that,

When I tried to rush through all the details during the 1st week of the new term, in spite of the fact that the event was on Saturday…

The others were still too slow…

In the end…

I did everything myself again,

With the help of Eng Houw…

It was with his help that the Haunted House became a wonderful success!!!

And I am really proud of it!


O’ Level MT Results (Aug 2009)

This happened after our O’ Level Listening and Oral examinations…

I received a C5 and a pass for my oral…

I was really shocked…

As I know my MT was one of my favourite and strongest subjects,

Yet I did so miserably…

And so I decided to re-sit for my exams in Nov,

Determined to score better the 2nd try!!!


Prelims & Teacher’s Day Arc (Aug/Sep 2009)

The Prelims period was the 1st time I ever studied like crazy!

The papers set by our school were difficult,

And though I still failed 4 of them,

I knew I have already done by best!

Since this was the last Teacher’s day I am celebrating with the Teachers of St. Pats,

I decided to make my own gift for all of them!

It was the first time I ever make my own gifts.

All I could say was,

I am proud of my creations!


O’ Level Examinations Arc (Oct/Nov 2009)

The time has finally arrived!!!

During this O’ Level period,

I went to school early daily to study with some of my friends from other classes.

It doesn’t matter to me even if I am not studying with my own classmates,

As I know that one way of learning,

Is to help and teach others.

If I can help my friends,

I can help myself as well!!!

It was also during this time when I was eagerly waiting for the reply from HQ NCC regards to my CLT course!

I asked Joycelin,

And she herself felt the same way as well…

But soon enough,

I received the letter,

It was during the end of 2nd week of the examinations,

And this made me pumped up to do my best for the last few papers!!!


58th Cadet Officers Course Arc (Nov/Dec 2009)

This 3 weeks course was the best one ever!!!

I guess I will let the pictures do the talking instead!!!


Post 58th COC Arc (Dec 2009)

Had 2 outings with my syndicate mates

One, was to play soccer at Kallang Cage…

Sadly, I missed it as I needed to attend a meeting at HQ.

But went back to meet them and watch AVATAR!

It was totally AWESOME!

The nice graphics and animation!

All the plants were so nice,

Wish they were REAL!


Next up was our Sentosa Outing!

Purpose there was really undefined…

Then again, we had lots of fun there!

I guess the pictures should do the talking again!


Final Days of 2009 Arc (Dec 2009)

The final event I had this year was organising a Birthday Surprise for Qiao Wei!

It was a great SUCCESS!

And extremely funny as well!

No pictures yet though…

But I think this last month of December was my most wonderful moment of the year…

With the 58th COC, my syndicate mates and everyone from the NCC!

Right now…

It’s the last day of 2009!

Later today,

I will write my 2010 Resolution!

Next year will be a tough year for many people of my age.

Hope everyone have a great last day!!!
