today's the last day of 2009.
thinking back,
this year has been quite fruitful.
completed my a level.
received my a level results.
national service enlistment.
grown more mature.
my happiest day amongst the 365 days
i bet it must be the day when the a level results were released.
i still remember that day, when we all woke up damn early in the morning.
all hooked onto msn, saying to each other how nervous we were.
one by one my frens told me the school called them.
asked them to report to school earlier because they did well for their a level.
i was very very sad then, because i didnt receive any call from the school.
then while i was emo-ing with others who also didnt receive the call from school,
the school called me.
one simple call.
it simply made my day.
my happiest day in 2009.
in the lecture theatre where all students who did well enough gathered.
we were then guessing, how well did we do for our papers.
in the hall, we were sitting in front of everyone.
awaiting to go up to the stage.
to shake hand with our principal.
page by page, the results flashed across the screen according to classes.
finally 07s16.
my name.
where is my name.
KHOO ZHONGYANG 3 H2 As.
WOW.
that feeling.
nothing can beat that.
took the cert from prinipal, walked down the stage.
took a look at it.
GENERAL PAPER B
GENERAL STUDIES IN CHINESE B
CHEMISTRY A
MATHEMATICS A
PHYSIC A
nothing beat that feeling seriously.
perhaps i was a little disappointed that i couldnt get an A for GSC, but all other results compensated for that little bit.
perhaps another reason why im so happy that day was because of the personal competition.
personal competition between me and my brothers.
everyone with siblings will face that kind of competition i guess.
willingly or unwillingly.
for psle i scored the lowest among the three of us.
for o level my elder brother got 11 beating me who got 14.
so perhaps when i knew my results, beside it was good, the fact that i beat my elder brother also contributes to that moment of euphoria.
i also remember walking out of the hall, i saw peigian coming late.
she asked how's mine results.
i told her straight As and she didnt believe hahas.
enlistment
well, thats the start of a new phase of my life.
training to be soldier.
training to be stronger, better, faster.
training to be medic.
training to be able to save lives.
and it will carry on.
all the way through 2010.
until 12 march 2011.
how about the low period during this year?
certainly, there's a period when im super down.
but learning from past experience.
i knew i had to change.
change the way i see things.
change the way i handle my emotions.
and i knew i had changed.
changed for the betterment.
of myself.
and probably my frens as well.
in 2009.
i have grown.
i have grown numerically.
i have grown emotionally.
i have grown.
i have grown more mature.
i have grown.
to be a better man.
2010!!
new year resolution.
to get drunk without spending a single cent!
anyone want to join me?
welcome my frens!
there's no rewind, pause, or fastforward in life.
eat, drink and be merry, for tmr we die!
