March alreadyyyyyy

Hello

Walao, so fast March already, my 8month break is slowly disappearing ):

So..first of all, results were on 5th Mar. Didn't have any 'expectations'; only got hope that I can meet the UK conditional offers (opens up my options). But I was kinda all prepared to emo the remainder of the day away at skatepark or maybe someone's sofa :\ Turned out that I got A for GP, Math (heng arh), Chem and Econs (!) and B for Physics lor. First feeling was like, whoaaaaaaaaaaaaah 4As whew. Then now feeling is like, wa the B abit cui, how to get scholarship liddat.

But well..I really think it's by God's grace, the results. I studied hard for my A's, but didn't feel like I did well comparatively (to my peers, and since A's are bellcurve'd, relative 'doing wellness' is important lol). Check STOMP answers then wah so many wrong, goodgame guys. To top it off, I applied for UCAS with York and Manchester as my 'stable' schools, and LSE Warwick UCL as my 'reach' schools, so I was extremely surprised when UCL sent me a conditional offer mid Feb for AAA in Math, Econs, Phy/Chem. My prelim results not fantastic, but UCL being imba, decided reasonably fast that she wants me if I can meet the basic AAA criterium. I was expecting LSE Warwick and UCL to reply after A's results are sent to them, yepp. 'tis to God's glory. And LSE rejected my ass off anyway lol.

So..I'm seriously considering UCL as my main choice for uni now, which kinda means that I probably will go overseas in September thereabouts. Qionging scholarship essays these two weeks, I want DMS or SIA haha, but don't think can get, cos of the B in Physics and these two scholarships are..'high fliers'. ..No pun intended.

Yerps, and these two days I've been reflecting a lil', in the case that I go UK, what I will miss the most, or have trouble leaving behind/putting it down. Since I don't meet any RJC people facetoface, only online/sms (even then, it is rare), I probably won't miss them as much as the dudes in church cos' I see them weekly. Or maybe it's skewed towards church people friendships because of a particular heavier weightage on a certain friend lol. That'd definitely be one of the things I'd have trouble leaving behind.

Haha, which brings me to the point that I was trying to make to Rcl. I opine that my/your future prospects/course in uni should not be lower in priority than a boyfriend (or in my case, a guy I really like). I mean, if the results obtained enables you to go to a significantly better uni, or take a course you prefer (like vet science, which spore does not offer), and you are not THAT constrained by financial issues, I don't see why someone should sacrifice that for a mere boyfriend. Ultimately decision is yours tho haha. And no point holding on to a relationship for long distance, which means in my case, I don't want to go steady with him already, even though I still like him alot. Abit stupid, date a few months then I pack bag go UK. And people change over time, no harm keeping the relationship open like B and her French friend J.

Sigh.

Anyway, YAG (at least, six of us) went to Icekimo to 'celebrate' A's results haha. Shared icecream and just slack there, exchanging army stories and A level stories x) Great times.

K I slept 5 hours (versus the usual 10) and cycled OCBC 40k in the morning at 6freakingam.

Shack. Nap. Bai.
