I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That's my quote for Grad Book! :)

Decided to post about JC life after reading the blog post of a JC girl which got a bit famous on social media and after talking to wang a little bit about school because she was telling me how her driving instructor reminds her of our Chem teacher last time.

Back in P6, I wanted to study in RGS because of my bro (I'm his shadow for life, this includes studying lit in year 3 and econs in year 5 and our favourite yakult drink and even our current email password LOL). But my results couldn't make it, so no more RGS haha! Choices were limited, and I didn't want to take O Levels so DHS was the best choice!

I peaked at year 1/2 with a GPA of around 3.8 hahaha thanks to the many drama projects and project work that we always do quite well in haha. Izare was quite a mugger class and I mugged hard! Then I met 3F/4F, which is a class with a so many different people with different interests taking different subjects coming together nicely. There were two floors of sec 3 classes and we were the "third level" class, which is inferior to the "fourth level" classes academics wise. We were loud, crazy and 'bad' kids. 4F thought me so much in just a span of two years. It taught me about friendship, unity and almost everything in life... except academics hahaha. I remember so clearly how a teacher labelled us as "below average class", how we did our worksheets together as a class because it was chinese and 4F hates chinese, not forgetting chemistry work because we were so afraid of our chem/form teacher but at the end of the day after what we have gone through, she will forever remain the one we love the most, (I will never forget the scene when she scolded us till she started crying and continued scolding us because all she ever wanted was the best for us. She wanted us to prove our worth and I really hope we made her proud), how we passed all our food around during lessons, how we got scolded by almost every teacher so so frequently and how we'll head to Parkway/Ikea/Siglap/Playgrounds to nua and laze around and eat and have fun and relax so often after school. I ended my year 4 with a GPA of 3.6 which was unexpected haha and I'm glad. I'm thankful for all the memories with 4F, just thinking about them makes me smile.

Next up! Senior High years!!! I had my gang who survived through it with me, beside me, together with me. :') The first row + the left hand side of the class people! HAHAHAHA SHIT MAN I LOVE THEM. We got picked on by so many teachers/ called up to present our answers so many times/ and most memorable part of all, we failed our tests together. Common scenario will be: Person A flashes script. Person B flashes script too. and we'll all start laughing and be happy because we've got each other!!! There's nothing to be afraid of!!!! All is well!!! Mugging sessions often turn up to be talking sessions. Thankful to the right hand side of the class for teaching us when we needed help and lending us their tutorials generously :') My average score for all subjects was a 'U' for most of the time. OMG I remembered how I got a 'B' in Year 5 Math Promo exam but when Year 6 came it dropped to a 'U' again and just stayed there all the way with some improvements!!! I think it went up to a 'D/E' for prelims! Then there was Bio which was epic because I wanted to drop H2 Bio to a H1 but my teacher convinced me out of it. However, at the same time, he told me about how I'm drowning deep underwater and I can't survive LOLOL it was super funny. He promised my mum that I will pass my Bio in A Levels and my mum was quite affected hahahahaha she didn't want just a pass. Econs was equally bad, or maybe even worse hahaha I failed it too badly in Year 5 (didn't pass econs before) I had to retake it during the Dec holidays so that I can continue learning econs in Year 6. Spent the holiday mugging econs sadly and yay I passed the retest because the teachers were so kind the questions were so straight forward and easy hahaha! I felt so proud of myself when I passed it though, will remember that good feeling forever. The first time I passed Econs was quite special to me hahaha. Next up, Chem! It's always and only... U!!! HAHAHAHA There were some good times when I'll score an D/E but good times don't last and U is back hahahaha. Made the grand decision to drop one H2 to H1 and debated between bio and chem! Thanks to my lovely H1 chem mates who explained to me its difference compared to H2 syllabus, I dropped chem even though it was just a few months away from A's so there were people telling me how wasted it was to drop at that time. But I knew I couldn't make it with 4 H2 haha and yep so 3H2 it shall be! My JC days were not really stressful despite the grades haha because I wasn't affected by them that much. I guess it became kind of numb. The left hand side peeps only knew how to be happy. We would be worried and stressed for a short while and then it'll be gone again HAHAHAHA. I wouldn't have survived through my JC life without them! :') Of cos, there are also the usual three girls who stood beside me all the way since Year 1 <3 And my mum who believed in me even though I kept telling her to be mentally prepared that I'm going to fail A's haha!

I got to admit that I didn't put in my best in mugging for A's at all. One day before the test I couldn't even finish memorizing everything, esp Econs and Bio. Thankfully, life is so kind to me I cried when I got my results at a tiny corner beside the hall (no one saw me hehe). Those were tears of joy and disbelief and contentment and shock and everything from these six years of learning. I can't be more blessed with my bunch of friends who stuck with me through thick and thin. I will always, always be proud of how we created a miracle in A Levels together, wlao eh, we finally passed :')
