A'levelWell, today is the day that all my uni frenz hated most - odd fri. The 9am -5pm duration which consists of 3 tutorials is damn tiring. This is so especially for the Valuation tutorial.Our African prof would shoot anyone down with his demanding questions, and the whole session would be so tense. But I really am quite lucky today that the presentation I've prepared till 1am the day before is correct although all my supporting ans r wrong. So I sorta saved my groupmates from being shot today.
However, this did not change my mood. I was kinda sad for my brother's A'lvl result. Although he passed all subjects but the grades aren't well enough for him to clinch a place in local uni. He has decided to retake his A'lvl again but met with huge obstacles. He did not fail any of his subjects thus would not be approved of NS deferment. This means that he has to go for NS while studying for A'lvl.
Heartbroken. No one knows better than me that he desires to enter business school so much! Reading investment and business books all day & even during exam period, participated in countless business case competitions, searched net non-stop to learn abt investments, etc... He is the brightest child among us siblings, if not for his laziness, he would have scored much much better.
Well, as his sister, I tried everything I can to help. Bought chocolate ice-cream & his favourite yoghurt drinks and made his favourite mango pudding. Seeked help from hong ming to give him advices, offered to pay his exam-fee, asked my ex-tutor to teach him & pay the tuition fees for him, buy all tys, files, paper, exercise books he need, promised to buy and cut newspapers for his GP. What I wish is simply to help him fulfill his dreams.
Well, this is what I've told my fren shan yan when I advised her just now. "Bad result is not the end of world. You are just going to take a longer route than others towards success. Forsee yourself in 5 years time, what do you want to achieve? It doesn't matter what choice you make as long as you know clearly what you want." So for those who think you scored badly, cheer up! =)
SMS--Shan yan: um.. thank u for ur comfort, anyway it works (:
