Fruits of labour.

I have truly received the fruits of labour.

Boy, was it nerve wrecking in the hall. The tension just builds up, really. But this day only comes once in a lifetime. Never knew that day would come, but so it did.

Went to trim up my hair before went to school on the bus and saw Andre. smart guy and easy-going, his 6 points were long in the bag. But how bout me? My father always told me that I'm neither here nor there, CANNOT STAND IT.. if i had to be good in something, this had to be it. arrived at about 1 and had a prayer meeting in the amphitheatre. made me much better for the time being, but when yo're in the hall, it's a totally different story.

Seeing my classmates for the first time in 2 months rocks! but it was time. we stepped into the hall. just last year, like i can remember we all sec 3s standing in the gallery, looking down in anticipation. but you won't know how it feels until you are really getting ur results. i'm sure everybody who got theirs would know that by now. so, we went through the admin nonsense, but we just didn't want to hear it! we want the results, yet we don't want it.

so principal came about to tell us more info, the top scorers, the subjects, the distinction rate and the top three classes. 4C NOT INSIDE!!! :( never mind, see how it goes. but our batch not bad at all. though we didn't beat last year's batch, we're still in band 1 with average L1R5 of 10.5. not bad at all!

And prinicpal said, "results distribution is postponed."


















nah, he said, "teachers, you may release the results" and up went Nawawi. Then, Caleb.


















AND ME!
so, I went up, took a deep breath and sat. Mr Leo's face to me was like not so good results, i can tell. and unknowing to me, Mdm Tang was smiling away. I saw a damn B three, oh my goodness.





'So how do you think you did?' I was speechless already.






'here, see for yourself'.'


















I looked through the slip and saw it. I was at a loss of words, stunned, in disbelief.


















' Huh?? 6?' Mr Leo just nodded his head, smiling. 'THANK YOU!', I stood up and walked behind. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! THANK GOD THE SAVIOUR!

'How many points, Gavin?' Everyone came around, congratulating me. THE FEELING WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! It was like, the world at my feet. and I had the chance to feel it. That wonderful feeling. I just broke down into tears. Mr Wong came. Ryan came. and I just broke down. like a gay boy man. called up my parents and sister to tell them the good news. my dad just saying that he's happy made me so happy. It was a dream come true. ME?? 6 points?? THANK GOD.

but it was a sheer heartbreak to see classmates going off after the results, angry. their dreams just shattered, but IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, really. I just came in with one goal: to get into VJC and did it! Went about to thsnk all my teachers, Mr Leo, Mdm Tang, Mr Gabriel, Mr Wong, Mdm Kwok, Miss Lau and Miss Raksha. YOU GUYS ROCK!

I was given a chance at Sec 1, and I took full advantage of it. Rest assured I will continue to strive with God's care. Just the experience was priceless and never will I forget that day, one of the best days of my life. no one can buy that feeling. THANK GOD again, you have set the path and you have plans for us to PROSPER.

I can go on all day, but to celebrate, I'll be working for the next 11 days. :) and I'm glad I did my parents, my friends and my teachers proud. They have been my beacon of light, along with God.

God Bless and Peace.
