HEY LOVES.
okay i've had 39341 complains with regards to the lack of updates! sweethearts, it's been five days. *slitty-eyed face
hahaha, but not to fear, Angel's here. :D (pardon the corny ryhme. hahaa.)

okay, let me start with updating on PEE-DOUBLE-YOU. (pw aka project work/pointless work)
SO, results came out on Friday the 11th.
Take this scenario:
1) Night before, pw didn't even cross my mind once.
2) On the day itself, subtly forced myself to feel the worry that everyone's feeling. Conformity doesn't always work, so they say. Angel remains very much-so composed.

I wonder if it was the evil sense of over-confidence that I might get the best possible grade, or was it just the reluctance of the mind to accept anything other than that grade? The former I hope not, the latter probably. In context, my dream college was VJC. i told myself then, i'd never go to tjc, but i let myself into the mentality that ooh, if i dont get into vjc, there's always tjc. there you go, and here i am

3) 20 minutes before results are released. I blast into a flurry of inner travesty and panic. All thoughts of hydrology in physical geography lesson came to a halt. My pulse hasten, my mind raced. One year of work - what if it came to naught? So they say, the mind is one's worst enemy.

4) Entering the hall, we settle down in our linear arrangement of classes. (sappy pw pictures during pilot day were flashed on screen must to the delight/dismay to the students) Hwee Geok, Rachoo and I held hands. I swear my palm pespired.. hahaha. :) Hang on.. why were the cameramen and reporters here?

5) The basis of our fear? TJC was never known to be strong in pw, relative to HCI and RJC and our fellow top five-rs in academic capabilities. In 2006, TJC "boasted" about 7% distinctions. That means the probability of seeing Mr Veera without a bottle of coke in his hands will actually be higher than bumping into someone with an A. Compounded with my knowledge of the emphasis placed by SMU on pw, since it's a representation of your teamwork/leadership abilities, my knees have every right to grow weak.. haha.

6) So they showed the statistics! and the rumour realised. around 87% of tjcians attained a distinction in project work. Mind you, that's a more than a 10-fold increase. After Ms Ying relished in her honour and well-deserved pride, they then showed the classes who attained distinctions all round. There were 13 in total. I told Chun Han, cancelling the TA classes, hmmm, there's still hope for us.. hahaha!

7) 20/07 (followed by cheers)..... 21/07 (followed by greater cheers) here's when our hearts literally stopped..,
TWENTYTWO O' SEVEN.


8) Tears streamed down my face. It's something to get an A, but it's that meaningful when you achieve success as a class. :)
Happiness soared within me. My first A!! One down, five more to go. :DDD WELL DONE 22/07! love you guys.

But this A is not mine alone. Here's thanks going out to:

1) MUMMY AND DADDY

For if it weren't for mummy, Sir John Harrington wouldnt even be in the picture. :) Thanks mummy for sparking the idea even if it was initially a joke made at me, you're a genius, you really are. Thanks to daddy for being my pillar of strength. :) I love you both a million donuts.

2) TJ104: Alethea, Aston, Hwee Geok and Karan.

We weren't the perfect group, but it's out imperfections that makes the perfection of success ever sweeter. I thank you for all the times you guys stood by each other. The experience, is definitely once-in-a-lifetime. :D (cause no one can pay me enough to go through the shit again!!! hahahhaa) we did it :)

3) Ms Ying Min

Through your harsh exterior, I actually love your sacarsm, your thought processes and your want-it-get-it attitude. :) more than a teacher, you were my impetus, my inspiration. Thank you so much for believing in us. All those nights marking pi's, written reports (the 3000-word horrors)... you're much apreciated.

4) Ethan Koh

"Je Cherche Un Homme"

Those nights/mornings.
Those calming words through my frustration.

Especially
when my script got deleted from my comp the night before op.
you were always there on the other line.
Thank you my angel.
my stronghold,
the keeper of my sanity.


5) Nan Xiao/Chun Han/Shaikha/Safirah :D

Hey dearies. you guys earned the medal for being the best recipients of all my tears and complains and woes during the course of my pw!! :D hahaha, thanks for all the times you just stood in awe while i cried, complained and just vented my frustration. your companion, and patience is more than i could have asked for. Especially going out to Nan Xiao. :) All those times, I wouldn't know what it'd be like without you by my side.

6) EVERYONE WHO'VE PLAYED A PART(:

nuff' said.
