Facing the reality

Finally the results are out!! I was all anxious and hipped up about getting my results the moment I stepped into school. The feeling of wearing the school uniform and white shoes again, just feel so nice and surreal! I missed those days of having to get up early in the morning realising that I'm late for school. This is the point where the 'always so late Sherlyn' steps in, struggling to wash up and get dress in time for school.

Deviated!

Any way about my results. I was the 3rd one to be called out to collect my results(some times I really wonder why I'm aways in the front of the class). Sat on the chair , Ms kuck bended over and whispered into my ears : 'You have got_____ for your L1R4' At that point of time I was totally speechless! The thought of not being able to get into Mass Comm was the only thing in my mind. It was like a big slap on my face which says 'WAKE UP SHERLYN!! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ENTER!!' Super scary. But at the small corner of brain says that I still have a 50% chance of entering. All I need is a B4 for my English and that's it, I'm in for 'JPSAE'. Looked at the result slip...___!!!! Darn!! Just a little bit more!! Called Yu Wen and asked whether I can still go for the interview. I have no idea what has gotten into me but the moment I heard her voice, my 'water pipe' just can't stop flowing! She was like ' ARE YOU CRYING!!!!' Explained to her every thing and being a good friend from Ngee Ann and in church, she told me she will confirm with me whether I get the thumbs up for the interview. I'm later confirmed by PC that they will reject any candidates as long as they don't meet the requirement.

Through this whole rather devastating moment of my life, I suddenly recalled what Pastor taught me 'to look beyond what I got even though it may not be what I want to get' and who ever said life is always smooth sailing. The so call 'shock of my life' is some thing which I suffer at that point of time but now it's all gone. I'm back to my old happy and nonsense self again. Which is a good thing!

'Always look on the bright side of life, dudu..dudu...dudududu...'

I looked at the result slip and form A again and said to myself that there are still other choices which I can go to and maybe going to Mass Comm just isn't part of the plan God has for me! I quickly turned to the JAE booklet and aimed for other possible courses to choose from. Business...that would be my next choice after FSV(Film, Sound and Video). But I still have to talk to my parents and discuss about this quite important step of my life. (Mass Comm can wait till Unni)

From this, I realised that even though I didn't get what I wanted, still I have some thing which cannot be easily taken away and that is friends, great friends around me, to cheer me up, care for me, asking me how I'm feeling and all that. I'm truly blessed that I have these people whom I can truly call them friends. People like Camille, Rachel, Wai Mun, Michelle, Michael, Zhi Hui, Ma Woman, PC, Miss Kuck , Miss see even....etc etc etc. Although some times I really feel tired of replying every one's message about how I fair and all

But most importantly, I have this Great and AWESOME God who brought me through the whole exams and blessed me in so many other ways! He truly deserves my praise! This gives me more meaning to learning His ways and hope that one day I will be able to find out the path which He wants me to take.

Tomorrow will be a new day for me. Might be going down to Ngee Ann in the morning to ask more about business and other stuff.

Sabrina said that she makes her choices according to the school. It is something which is not advisable but still it's some thing which is going to help me make my choice too. For me Ngee Ann will always be my first choice not for any special reason but because Ngee Ann has great facilities, teachers everything!! Ngee Ann is the one or me. Just hope I will be there as a student this April. It would be my best birthday gift for the year.

Love <3
