Remembering what I typed in my previous post, the naggings, scoldings, *snubbings* we received have all translated themselves into reasons we should give full thanks to the dedicated teachers of the proud Class of 2008. The release of results was a day of pleasure, all in all. (:

Reason #1

We were exhilarated when the principal announced the EXTRAORDINARY results we attained. That announcement marked the end of the long two months wait for the mean L1R5. One year ago, we were sitting in the hall while Mrs Ouyang happily announced the mean L1R5 our seniors attained. I remember feeling the pressure of having to do better than the seniors because they were obviously very much more a mugger batch than the Class of 2008. BUT, BUT, BUT we proved our abilities when we broke Cedar's mean L1R5 record with a suave score of 9.0. :D Beat that man. We proved that PSLE isn't a good gauge of knowledge and interllect, HAHA.

Reason #2

I also remember our teachers always giving us "small talks", hoping to "wake us up" from lalaland so that we'll start slogging our butts off for the O's, and not bring humiliation to the school (I guess). Though 4Z was repeatedly one of the last few classes in the cohort (be it for MYEs or Prelims), we didn't give up nor let the teachers' reverse psychology get us down. Finally, from a mean score of 19++ in the prelims, we managed to score a impressive mean score of 8.6 in the actual O's. I'm so proud, so proud of the great improvement we've made, and the togetherness we held on to. :)

I'm just happy. 

Thank God for everything, for without Him, we can do nothing.
