This Fri, 8am, will be the release of the posting results for the Joint Admission Exercise (JAE). This means that after the posting, you'll be allocated a place in one of the 12 choices that you had chosen since a few weeks ago.
Good luck for those who participate in the JAE! Hope you get where you wish to go :)
That being said, sometimes, one do not really know where one wishes to go. You know, after choosing a place, you might think about what happens if you had chosen another place. There are some people I knew whom wishes to go to top 5 JC, but after going there, things are not going as smoothly as planned. The future is always uncertain...
The O'lvls results are out yesterday at 2 pm. A stream of sms flowed a few hours after that. I never had the habit of making a record of my students' grades because while I can tutor them, I cannot take the exams for them. So what if they get A1 or F9, I can't really control that, can I? I also do not know how much of their grades are attributed to me, so really, what's the point of keeping a record?
Some tutors guarantee A for their students, haha, but I will never do that, unless I can take the papers for them. That being said, there is a point to record - and that is purely for sentimental reasons. It's like when I'm old and dying, I can look back at all the students I've taught and say, hey, so and so got this grades. Haha! Ok, enough grousing, here's what they got:
1. MY - Pure Chem B3, Pure Phy B4. L1R3 11 pts, L1R5 16 pts - Taught MY chemistry mainly plus a bit of physics towards the end. One of the students that I worried the most for, but very happy for him in the end.
2. BL -Combi Sci C5, L1R4 17 pts - Taught BL science, esp the chem part. My most worrisome student! Considering that he always fail his science and I took him in like 2 months before O'lvl, I think he did very well! I hope I gave him some hope to carry on striving for the best in his life, academic or otherwise.
3. ML - E.maths A2, Pure phys B3, L1R4 12 pts - taught E.maths and pure physics for ML. My third most worrisome student, in the end he got it good. Very good, I'll say - so pleased for him
4. WYT - Pure chem A2, L1R5 8 - taught her chem. She's the 3rd of all her siblings whom I've taught. Don't expect any worse from her, so it's kind of expected.
5. TLC - Pure chem A1, L1R5 7 - together with WYT. One of my best students. Enough said.
6. DY - L1R5 6 pts - another of my best student. Don't understand why she need to take tuition at all. Taught her bro in A lvls in the past too. All did exceedingly well.
7. MC - A.maths A2, E.maths A2, Chem A2, Phy B3, L1R5 13 pts - taught her a variety of subjects because she's weak in application, not in theory. Not so confidence too. She's not happy with what she got, but seriously, not such a bad score.
8. JP - Combi sci A1 - L1R5 16 pts, L1R4 12 pts - taught him combi sci. Was pleasantly surprised he got this grade. A little lazy but must say that he put in effort towards the end. Happy for him
9. R - C6 English, B3 Amaths, A2 Emaths, B3 Geo, B3 Phy, A2 Accounting, C5 chem - L1R5 16 - I'll say that to finish 2 years worth of work in 1 year, plus to cope with a new language - it's amazing that he got this kind of results. Well done!
10. D - B3 E.maths, A2 A.maths, L1R5 12 - Too quiet to interact with him much. Still, am happy that his A.maths did well. In fact, I think his mum will be very happy with his results.
11. ET - B4 Chemistry, L1R5 16, L1R4 12 - Quite disappointed with her chemistry results. Should be able to get higher than this, I expect.
12. BQ - C5 Chem, L1R5 19, L1R4 14 - This is the ultimate disappointment. Really expected her to get much much better than this. Chem C5? Shocking to me.
First post of the new year, 2009.
Not exactly in a happy mood. Nah, nothing particularly bad happened to me. I've got a bad debt to chase after, but 2008 is a pretty good year for me in both my investment (not profits though) and my career. Good health too, really nothing to complain about.
It's just that I do not understand what's so happy about the new year. I personally detested countdown, with all the crowd and people finding a reason to party. For me, 31st Dec is a good time to find a quiet time to reflect upon what had happened in the past year and what challenges we can expect to face in the coming year. As far as I can tell, I always hated the January. Perhaps it's the drill of waking up early in the wee hours of the morning from my secondary school days that make me find January repulsive.
So many things to do...what will the coming year be like for me?
