It's all to glorify Him.

Well, of course I wished my results were all "As". Haha.


Promos results - Summer Test (Mid-year) & Mid-Course (End-year)

H1 General Paper - S to C
H1 Physics - U to D
H2 Math - E to U
H2 Geography - D to B
H2 Economics - C to B

These are the raw scores as a comparison from Mid-year papers to Promos. It's a mixed feeling within me though there's improvement for each subject except for Math. Probably because I expected more. But I've been reminding myself, even for some of my classmates, that we ought to be thankful to God in ALL circumstances. Yeah, difficult to put that into action isn't it. But of course, I'm grateful to all my subject tutors all these while for being patient during consultations throughout these months. And .. night study everyday was awesome :)

General Paper: Summer Test was a flop as I didn't expect to get a sub-pass. Quite demoralising given my expectations of doing well in Language. But was told by tutor that it was the content that pulled me down. I still remembered what Mr Sabar said to me, "You have very good language, just that you lacked content." It was then I decided to do something about it (in July period) and there, time flies. Thanks for having so much faith in me & telling me that I can do it. Probably getting a C's disappointing when you know that it's just a few more marks to B. But then again, be thankful right?

Physics: I think I'd term this as the miraculous work of God. Why? It goes like this. I had Math paper on a Friday, & the following Monday & Tuesday were Physics & Geography paper respectively. So I was deciding whether to just focus on my H2 Geog & give up on Physics, or just finish revising Physics first before moving on to Geog. It was more of a decision-making. I spent Saturday & Sunday doing last-minute revision on Physics and plan to revise Geog on Monday after Phy paper. Guess what my tutor said a few days before Promos. "If you want to pass, you must at least re-do all the tutorials ONCE." I was dumbfounded since it wasn't possible to re-do all within such a short period of time. That's why I felt like focusing on Geog instead. Physics paper was hard, I swear. So I went out of the hall feeling so dejected, thinking that I've wasted 2 days on revision when I can do Geog instead. But God is good! But one thing I wanna say is that, it's definitely not my own credit that I passed. That, for sure. Anyway, Mr Teo you're one funny tutor! Though I've only consulted you once. Haha.

Mathematics: Aye, I'm so sorry to Mr Khoo. ): I've been consulting him on every Wed, & for sure we always ended up drifting away from Math to chatting about random topics. You're one friendly & FUNNY teacher, it's surprising how you can clicked so well with us and made me burst out laughing umpteen times. ;D Okay, but I know you're disappointeddddd. I think this time round the results struck me a lot so yeah, I'm gonna brush on my Math this coming holiday. Thanks for your words of enouragement either through msn, sms or facebook! And also saying that I've high EQ HAHA. Wait for my good news :D

Geography: Monday after Physics paper, rushed home to digest much of Geography, only managed to complete Lithosphere, part of Population & Urbanisation. Wasn't feeling confident but I thought I should just give it my best. Essays were crap, as I didn't have time to memorise the policies for transport problems. So just bombed the policies used in Singapore :) Even so, I expected an 'A' though there's only 3-4 people getting As in the cohort. But still wanna thank God for a 'B' grade & 8th in cohort ranking. Miss Nafisah! You came in July as a new NIE teacher & some of us were quite dubious. Haha. But you're fantastic! Really. Patient to the max, passionate (from the way you greet me each time you see me lol), bubbly and YOUNG. Haha. You're also one teacher whom I can talk a lot with, probably because of only a few years in age gap. Enjoyed weekly consultations with you! And once, you didn't sleep at all just to prepare for lectures. Sacrificial to full extent, you'll do great in this profession :)

Economics: CLIMAX. Haha. Okay, as some of my classmates would have known that I revise Econs every single day, rain or shine. It has been like this since last year? I guess it's Mr Chu who made me love this subject so much. So of course I'm not satisfied with just a B, I wonder when will my 'A' come ): So yeah, I guess I've disappointed another tutor. Miss Chong's words were harsh, "You MUST get an A, don't let me down!" Sigh, despite daily consultations right? Yes, every day. But anyway, you're yet another new NIE teacher! The one who keeps thinking that I LOVE Econs due to her interesting way of teaching. I'm probably the few who can tahan you :D Also one of the very few teachers whom I buy breakfast for, drinks/lunch, carried bag out of the school. Haha, sounds like slavery but better be "grateful" hor. Also, I admire your honesty with me on your personal life(or rather biography hahaha) and "gossips" about people! Don't worry man, your problems will all be solved if God enters into your life! :) Thankful for a B and 30th in cohort ranking.


Wow. Like an essay? Anyway, I really appreciate these precious tutors of mine a lot. If not for them, this year could be .. I don't know. Not as fun? Really hope that all of them would still teach me again in Year 2, I need them! Very, very used to their styles of teaching. And also, very used to talk to them in a like-a-friend tone. Geog & Econs are still my favourite subjects, the rest I'd still need a little bit of love. Even though my results ain't that awesome, but God has provided me with capable teachers and amazing favour in the eyes of them. Yeah, as you can see, everything about Innova JC's great :D
