the olevel results came out on monday, 11 january 2010. Sigh.
I got an L1R5 of 16. L1R4 of 13.
I became a straight B student. I have no idea how my bio and chem give out on me. Only my physics and e.math had an A2.
So depressing.
Yup. Crushed my dream to go to NYJC with 12 points.
Nevermind. I tell myself that it is the final outcome that matters. But when is the final outcome?
When i finish my education and go out into the workforce, getting my dream job?
Or earning enough to last me all the way through my retirement and to my death?
> . < i dont know anymore.
For now, today, i have this great decision to make, probably one of the most important and will change my life, for better or worse i dont know.
The last few days, i have gone to jc open houses. At pioneer junior college and at innova junior college. So far, i have my mind set on going to pjc. I now believe that i cannot follow my friends along the same path. From previous experiences, i had learnt that you must learn to make your own choices, not just follow your friends or even your parents' footsteps.

Pro's and con's of pjc:
P- it is much better than ijc in terms of academic results.
P- it is accesible via mrt and buses.
P- the building and environment is much more suited to my taste.
P- i will come into contact with people at my academic level or even better, those who acually wants to study.
C- its abit far.
C- less familiar people and environment.
C- my fear of stress in a new environment.

Pro's and con's of ijc:
P- it is super-ultra near to my home.
P- it's a confirm get in
P- many of my friends are going there as it is in woodlands.
P- the place is colourful, unlike the plain white buildings for the other jc's.
C- the tests and papers there are below national Alevel standard, which means that i will not be conditioned enough for the real thing.
C- the people i meet there most likely will be below my academic level.
C- i may meet vulgar people there and be negatively influenced.
C- i may be influenced by their heck-care and slacker attitudes. enough said.
C- people there seem more interested in their own cca's rather than their studies. Promoting their cca's rather than the quality of their school.

Today i will make big decisions as i key in my 12 choices. Even my horoscope predictions tell me not to make any hasty decisions today.
Later, i will be going with June and Wendy to clarify about polytechnic courses at Temasek poly.
