I guess my child will not take PSLE seriously...

Hi Ppl,

This morning, I heard some very shitty news. Its about the PSLE Maths Exams. It was said that this year PSLE Maths were of a super diffcult level. Children cannot finish their exams. Some even cried while doing the exams. Time has really change.

Still remember the time I received by PSLE score... 201. My mum was pulling by my ear while we walked towards the car after receiving the slip of paper. I still remember... at that time, i was not worried about my future or secondary school. I am just worrired that my holidays then will be so screwed. Most probably studying the whole holiday.

Obviously this did not happen and my childhood is still an OK one.

So actually I don’t think these kids should put so much empharsis on the results. PSLE will not determine how your ‘O’ level or ‘A’ level will turn out. Or your future. As much as you should still study, u should also enjoy your childhood. It does not come twice.

Talking about enjoying life... I am sooooo not enjoying at the moment. As much as I understand RESULTS does not determine your future, it is trying to determine mine. You know MY SCHOOL now has this system which is sort of new... “Everyone will be marked base on a bell curve (this is what is happening in the school previously still), and there will be a limit at the number of As, Bs, Cs a professor will give. The percentage goes as follows 25% As, 45%Bs, 35% Cs and Ds and Es and Fs (this second part is not what was previously stated).”

People, I can tell you that soooooooo far in my Uni life, I did not produce any Cs yet and only 2 As. The rest range between B+ to B-. Thus, previous I will not be soooooo worried.

But right now, I am soooooo worried. And Guys, you know I have been studying till the extent I have no life (I have been working 2 and half days a week and studying on Saturday every week... Do you even have time to go out? Even when I want to go out... No one seems to be free either nor will want to spent the money to watch a movie). With all the Mid-term and Quizzes that I have been getting back, I seriously think that I am gonna get at least a C this term not matter how much effort I put in (Results were all below par and in the last 35%).

Hopefully, things will not turn out that way. And I will try not to let this determines what i get in the future.

And Guys... You know i have been talking to you about business proposal about opening a Boxer Shop. As far as I am concern, everywhere I go right now and everything I see right now has been telling me there is a market out there.

BUT MY SCHOOL HAS TO DISAPPOINT ME AGAIN. It has decided not to help me.

For the past 2 weeks, I had been trying to not think about it anymore. But it seems that there is a calling to tell me to carry out what I have been thinking and in everywhere that I turned to nowsadays.

I guess I need more “Help” and “Directions”. If you really intend to help, please step forward.

think of it this way, if u hadn't gotten the shitty PSLE results, would u be where u are at now? would u have met ur frens now??

i believe there is a reason for everything, therefore do not despair if there is a setback..

i've learnt that there are greater plans for u, even though the situation may appear bleak at first..

hang in there, have faith, and the rest will fall into place..

i'm glad u flunked ur PSLE , if not we would have never met..hahaha..

same goes for ur business venture, so wat if there is a setback, try ur best and if it still isn't good enough, maybe there is window of opportunity opening itself elsewhere?

my 2 cents

小时了了,大未必佳。for our non chinese speaking friends, it means that even if u are excellent as a child, it doesnt mean that u will grow up to be an excellent adult.
