Revived !

This has become my comfort zone and a page that keep the most important memories of mine. I kicked started this blog from 7th July 2003 and now it is already March of 2011. A whooping 7 years and 8 months! Although I admit I do not blog often but each time I do, I record all the important and most memorable thing that have happened to me. Which is awesome!

Yesterday on 25th March 2011, I finally got back my very last result slip from NGEE ANN Polytechnic and that sort of marked the end of my polytechnic studies. My whole journey at NGEE ANN has been a truly been the most rewarding one for me. I had lots of fun but at the same time not neglecting my studies like what I used to do back in my secondary school days. Now I work hard (but smart) and play hard.

I never had soo many certificates presented to me during my course of studies and never will I even think that I was cut out to be a scholar. But these has all become a reality for me.

I started with an aim of scoring a final GPA of above 3.50 so when I got my first result slip of 3.7083 I was ecstatic! But when I was not part of the Director's List I knew that grade of mine just would not make the cut. I tried to push harder but by pushing too hard during the common tests and scoring fantastically well I got big headed and was complacent. Though I did improved but it was kind of not as good as I was expecting at 3.7727. But it was good enough to creep into the Director's List.

In my second yezr first semester I knew if I wanted to experience getting a GPA 4.0 that was the best time since my elective is just graded as a pass or a fail. Getting really confident and complacent once again I did not study for my common test but ended up scoring 2 As and 2 Bs. But by pushing myself I managed to clinch my first perfect GPA of 4.0. An additional surprise would be coming in as the 3rd Most Outstanding student in my cohort.

Getting addicted to scoring a perfect a 4.0, I wanted more. And with my passion to do well, I scored yet another perfect 4.0 and this time round I came in top in my cohort not only in terms of overall result but also top in my cohort for 2 modules.

With such achievement, it is no wonder I got complacent AGAIN in my third year of studies. I scored all B's for my projects and common test for all my modules except one. Lots of hard worked being put in was really stressed out during the exam period broke down for once for my Managerial Accounting paper but I managed to pull through scoring another perfect 4.0. Last but not least, yet another 4.0 for my intership.

It has been really amazing how I went down and up again and it really goes to show that as humans mental game is inevitable. Look at how I got complacent and went down and got disappointed and work hard to pull it back up. The power of our mind is amazing.

With this results I hope I can enter to the local university. A dream I have been dreaming of since I started my studies all over again at the ITE. But it seems like I have yet to get any news from NTU or NUS. I believe my chances at NTU is very bleak knowing most of my peers have gone for the interview but not a single call for me from them. Guess O'Levels results still mean a lot to them.

SMU has been really encouraging and I have been to the interview. They assured me results are not everything and I hope my memorable interview session would leave a very deep impression of how passionate I am in my studies and in succeeding in life.

And apart from awaiting for my University posting results, I am also anxiously waiting for my interview with the Director of my school to see if I can make it as one of the top graduate for 2011. I am hoping I can badly! This will just give me the extra energy to succeed. Lets hope and pray for the moment (:

A truly life changing and memorable experience for me.
