According to an IQ score guide from the same website (http://www.free-iqtest.net/iq-score-guide.asp), I'm a part of the "Gifted" which is a group that consists of only 2.3% of the test-takers. Never crossed my mind that I was "gifted"... well, until today.
Had my GCE 'O' Levels English Oral Examination today. While waiting for my turn, I wasn't nervous actually... only till it was almost my turn that I started to shake my legs nervously. Perhaps, this lack of nervousness was due to me preparing for the Oral Examinations the previous night. Or maybe, it was because I was beside a talkative bunch while waiting for my turn (Yes, Charlie and Damian, if you so happen to be reading this, I'm referring to you! :P) Anyways, I can proudly say that I've tried my best. I've talked till my lips were dry and till I had to lick them ever so often just to be able to continue my conquest for that elusive distinction in English Oral. No regrets though, if I don't get that distinction in English Oral. What is more important is that I tried my very best.
It was a kind of trying week for me. I'd finally completed my Design and Technology (DnT) artifact (YES!!! AT LONG LAST! GODDAMN-IT!). Now, all I have to do for DnT is to focus on my journal and presentation boards. Though I have to admit that after all that hard work on the artifact, I don't quite feel like in the mood to do my journals and presentation boards. And of course, being that perfectionist I am, I still have that tinge of regret that my artifact wasn't as perfect as I'd wanted it to be...
Then, there was the GCE 'O' Levels Chinese Results. I'd obtain a B3 which is quite good considering that my school is labelled as one of the 'Top 10 WORST schools for Chinese'. I was relieved by my results but somehow, I wasn't quite able to smile. Just that thought of narrowly missing out on that distinction for Chinese... it kind of made me angry at myself? I can't quite describe my emotions at missing out on that distinction but... just understand that I was quite sad. Still, I had tried my best during the Chinese examinations and I was contemplating on whether I should just settle on my results. After many tossing and turning on the bed, I eventually reached my decision to retake the GCE 'O' Levels Chinese Examination papers. After all, maybe some years down the road I may regret not retaking the papers? I just didn't want to remember my secondary school days as my 'Years Of Regrets'. Hopefully this time I would be able to achieve distinction...
Less of my typing now! Here are some photos from the trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre in celebration of the nation's birthday:
Before I go, heres a shout-out to the Singapore Ladies' Table Tennis team in reaching the finals of the Table Tennis Olympics. This means that Singapore would have its first medal in the Olympics after 48 years! Woo~! Go Singapore~!
