Optimism
Tired but satisfied, sad yet happy...

This was certainly how i have felt during the past three days, where it has been a total whirlwind of events which happened one after the another...

Friday afternoon had been the big day of my life as it was O level results collection day. I was seriously VERY anxious over my results, and what lies ahead of me. After 4 years of secondary education, that had been the moment of truth. As I clutched my results slip, my mind went blank as i scrambled to see the truth....9 points....my eyes blinked as if i had not seen my marks yet...slowly but surely, I raised my arms in jubilation as I gave a silent "Thank U" to the One above.... my wish had came truth.

The next morning began with fun, slick moves, as all those in SCIP had to undergo mass dance selection test. The songs ranged from RETARDED to DHOOM to S CLUB PARTY and by the end of the morning, I was tired but happy that it was over. The evening was coupled with swimming and shopping(for new clothes for CNY) and it was TIRING!

Barely 7 hours after saturday ended, Sunday began with a BANG! "Go GREEN DAY" was officially kick-started and soon, i was busy scrambling to collect and transport as many bags of unused newspaper and old clothes as possible. It was very encouraging to see everyone actively being involved in hepling one another to make the programme a resounding success! Although i was quite exhausted by then, it gave me a sense of accomplishment to know that the effort we put in will greatly benefit the charities involved.

On the whole, this was a brief summary of how i had felt during the weekend. As for the aftremath of the results, i felt quite sad at the same time, as i could also witness certain schoolmates' hopes being dashed by a single slip of paper. Tears could be seen running down their cheeks...whether or not it was of happiness or disappointment, of pride or regret, the scenario had certainly left a deep impression in my mind. Even though my results were deemed satisfactory for me, i had wondered: Could i bear to scream with joy, when those around me may not feel the same?

To everyone who had received their O level results:
Be proud of what you achieve, for what's done is done, let's be optimistic of the future!
