.:. Sushan's house .:.
Why is CNY 15 days? Because people prepare so much food for Chu Yi that they will need 15 days of lunch and dinner to finish the remaining leftovers, or so that's what's happening to me la haha.
Went to Sushan's house for CNY celebrations yesterday. 1st time going to GOF's ppl house to bai nian leh. Initially Wendy was supposed to meet Sushan at 1.45 to pass her ice cream, then we meet Sushan at 2pm for lunch at kovan. Then suddenly Wendy wasn't feeling well so she wanted to meet us late, then I received an sms from Ryan asking for lan. But 1 sms later it was cancelled haha. In the midst it includes smses to Zhi Yong, whom we were wondering went MIA. So we now met up at 2.30pm at kovan mrt, along with Wendy who was feeling better. Terence led the wat to his house for bai nian, along the way with a few guesses on which house he lived in. Enjoyed CNY goodies, which were abundant everywhere, then went to his room for some L4D haha. It was funny to see Wendy playing with ter's childhood playtoys when Sushan and I play l4d haha.
Met up with Zhi Yong at Hougang MRT at 4.15, then proceeded to ntuc to get what little there is left to get for the steamboat. With 3 guys and 1 girl decision overuling Sushan's, we walkd to her house. So we put down our things, and sat by the TV to watch discovery channel (for more details of the show ask Zhi Yong for he watched that show 3 times already haha). Waited for arrival of Mich (whom I cordially sent Ter to fetch) and Jia Yen, before we started dinner!
Given the size of Sushan's kitchen, all huddled around the table and eat. As compared to eating at Ryan's big table, it was very different atmosphere. So we put food in the steamboat, and chatted while we were waiting for it to cook. If i remember correctly we enjoyed ourselves there for 1+hr, laughing, mainly at Jia Yen who was apparently "lost" at Sushan's house. She dosen't know Sushan had a TV, of which we were watching when she arrived, and she was wondering whether Sushan handwashed her clothes cos she cant find the washing machine, where her hand was resting on the whole dinner HAHA!!!
After dinner we siamed to Sushan's room, took photo before Wendy and Jia Yen left. As we sit down to look Sushan's photo album, her sec sch present from her friends, somehow the topic of A-levels results came up. Then we all started to dwell into the topic, worrying which course to go into, what kind of results would we all get, who will be the ones going up on stage etc etc. Things started to get a little depressing, until Sushan was lamenting on how she won't be able to fall asleep the nite before the reults, so we all decided on a sleepover the nite before the reults. To all sit down and meditate together to calm ourselves down or to all panic together.
And since we're on that topic, i shall insert in my view point here. When we get our results, whether we are happy or not depends on our expectations. There are some who are happy simply because they improved, even though the grades are not fantastic, yet there are those who strive onli for the best of the grades. Its all in the mentality one has i guess. For me, I'm just trying to convinvce myself that what's done is done, and I've already done what I could, so its all set. Its all a matter of what happens after I see my results. Just trying to maintain a Happy-Go-Lucky attitude I guess.
Also I want to comment bout the way results are given out. The school gives out the results in such a way that it rises from 3A's onwards if I remember correctly, all the way to 7/8A's. So it's basically a heart-thumping process of sitting there, holding your friend's hand tightly in hopes of your name being called. But what happens to those who's name wern't called. They all have to face the cruel reality of walking down to the atrium to collect their results, when their friends just walked up on stage. I agree with the fact that students who do good must be commended, that is understandable, but the sense of being left behind is just hard to bear la. On the otherhand, this is just my opinion, and I myself cant tink of n alternative to the arrangement, so I believe that the school has thought about it and felt that it was the best course of action i guess.
Countdown:
1 week till my MOE attachment ends
Approximately 2/3 week to results (I hope considering no one knows when it will be released)
Revealed on [3:36 AM]
