Nostalgia is as empowering.
Just snagged these from Weiting's fb. V ugly, but who cares! ;)
Yesterday was crazy. I wish that moment lasted forever.
Met my girls @ Westmall & we were all losing our minds @ Subway. Cabbed to school as yours truly cannot get too much sun exposure. ;) Caught up with Xinyi & my dearest long lost girlfriends who'll be taking O's this year. <MISS YOU ALL!> Got chased away from the Staff Table @ the canteen by some whatever-teacher (whoever she is). Dont you just miss secondary school life? Awhhh.
Amidst the chitter-chatter, THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR LIVES BLASTED THROUGH THE PA SYSTEM. The whole canteen screamed! Phenomenal. Everyone hurried to the hall while the current batch of graduating sudents went up to the Gallery.
So, Dunearn is a dumb school & they isolated all those with 'improper attire' to the other end of the hall. We were supoosedly the last to get back our results. I volunteered myself anyways. I even thought of an excuse, which is: Spraying my hair black is harmful & I've a sickness. My hair is already dropping. It's true! But I didnt get a chance to use it. BECAUSE.
I was sitting there with Weiting, Serena & Celeste. They did the usual powerpoint slides, statistics, school vs national %. Then suddenly the screen flashed "TOP STUDENTS OF GCE O LEVEL 2009". Eveyone panicked! I still remember I said "Huh, so fast?!".
The screen flashed again. '5 distinctions'. & I SAW MY NAME. I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING. REALLY.
Vanessa Lee Si Yi - 4S.
That up there was sandwiched between other names. & didnt dare go up to collect my slip cause I thought it wasnt real! Then Weiting said "GO! IT'S YOU! GO!" (While snapping candid pictures away!) I ran, jumped, squealed, screamed while everyone was cheering & laughing @ how dumb I looked. But my boy said I looked like Minnie Mouse. ;) That was my moment & it was surreal.
I shook our new prinicipal's hand while he said "Look, how happy she is!".
The first person I thanked was my form teacher, Ms Michelle Ho. I've never been on good terms with her. But I dont know why. My first instincts was to go up to her & thank her. I held back my tears cause I was telling her how I'm sick, it's chronic how much pain I'm going through & now I see the light. I have MY MOMENT. She said she didnt expect me to be a top student too. But she said I deserved it.
After all the hoopla, catastrophe, everything, headed to Amos' place with my boy & the rest. They drank, I didnt. ;) & my dearest Mommy came & picked me home. The moment I reached home, Daddy gave me a big big hug & $300?! I was joking about the money thing. I dont know why, I dont seem to want money now. I think I've already got more than what I want. I'm contented. =]
I had the yummy-est yong tau foo all the way from Geylang, thanks Daddy! My Mommy wanted to surprise me with a present but she was rushing to pick me up. Nonetheless, Mimi's dad treated us to deserts @ night. ;)
To anyone who believed in me, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I thank God for everything.
Awhright, Mommy's bringing me out for lunch. Time to get a quick shower! & Darling, see you later. ;D
Oh, Mommy called MOE this morning too. If any of yall are wondering why Form A didnt indicate your aggregate after deducting CCA points, they say they'll auntomatically deduct while you're applying for your courses. ;) So I hope I get into NP's Banking & Finance with my 5 points.
