A levels results

A levels results were alright. (: The kind which can be better but I'm not complaining and I should thank my lucky stars for what I have already. I'm not estatic, but I'm fine with them. (: Mrs Leong told me she'd expected straight As from me, though. ): But she added that it's okay, it's good enough already.

My sis saw the report in the papers about how students in RJ were sad about getting less than 4As, and she was going on about how disgusting it was. Actually, it isn't. Some people blame the students or the school for it, but that's because they only see the small picture. You can't blame anyone, really. I mean, whose fault is it that the competition in the top schools is so great, and that society expects students from the top schools to perform better? It adds to the pressure which the students face, you know. And it's definitely more competitive in the top schools because, actually, everyone always strives to at least be of average standard, if not the best, no matter which school you're in. And to be realistic, if you want to be the best in RJ you really have to push yourself, no? So their behavior does make sense, actually.

Being in RGS/RJ and TJ has allowed me to understand both views towards this issue, and aiyah, I always end up defending the Raffles family when my sis criticises the schools. (Hey i'd defend TJC too, it's just that she doesn't attack it so I don't have the chance to.) Concerning this, I just wish that before people criticise, they can put themselves in the shoes of those at the receiving end. They might realise that had they been in that position, they could have just behaved the same way too.

To my darlings who didn't meet their own expectations and aren't satisfied with their results, do try to cheer up. I'm always here for you! LOVELOVE. <3

On a random note,
