Today is another big day of many people. While some of the schools had the day off for its students, Temasek and Meridian are the amongst the few which had the school operating at half-day system. Hence, we still had got to report to school as per normal, and just as early. We had the first 3 periods of the timetable to attend before actual releasal, where the ex-NASians gathered and went back to where they used to belong.Time of waiting was long. I was so excited when I heard that the top student was a guy who scored 9 distinctions. There's only that many students who take 9 subjects, and only that many guys who take it. So, every point was like kind of pointing at me. Unavoidably, I felt that amount of excitement building upon me quickly. But of course, to be realistic, I knew how unreliable this kind of rumors can be. Hence, I was preparing myself for the worse simultaneously at the same time too. Firstly, there was a slide with the name of the people who scored 9 distinctions. 3 names were mentioned but I wasn't among them. Next was another slide with the name of students who scored 8 distinctions. 10 names were mentioned, but once again I was left out. So my thought then was, 'it's gonna be 2 'Bs' at least, which was way short of my expectation." I was so nervous. Like I always say- the period of waiting is never nice. Though my perspective has changed a bit recently- sometimes the period of waiting can be nice, especially when the thing you're waiting for is something pleasant. I got mine soon, and as expected it was two Bs. However, what I never expect was that the B-subjects happened to be both my language subjects- English and Higher Chinese. Big disappointment. I've expected A for both subjects, in fact, all subjects. Think on the other side, it wasn't a job that badly done. At least I got 7 distinctions which is only one less than the mentioned 8.

Hung around for a while and talked with many of the teachers. I'm opening up, and much more comfortable with conversation these days then how I used to fear talking with teachers. Then, we had soccer at the old place. Sun was blazing, and I played a little while, before going off for my regular stroll. Yesterday had given it a miss, so today should make up for it. Walked around the area again. I like the breeze here. Forever so nice and cooling. I sat at the bench beside the playground and watched the people playing with it and doing evening jog. Peaceful sight=) But there was this Indian guy who kept walking round and round, and he walked past me 3 times, taking the exact same route each time, which wasn't exactly very long.At night, feigned serious depression for a while. I was depressed but I exaggerated at home, so people were treating me good=). Haha, they didn't dare to shout at me or what at least=).
