Talk about being a black horse...

I bet the topic, the pressing issue on everyone's lips, mouth, teeth, tongue cells, has got to be Mother Tongue O Level Results.

It wasn't THAT big in my school (maybe just my class), but WHAM BAM ALAKAZAM, walk out of school and my mobile goes ringing and I get smses about results, messages on messenger about results. Everything seems to be about "What did you get?"

Whew. Is it just me, or has my school lost the steam, that competitive edge? It seems like we acknowledge our achievements already and that getting good grades or not is transient or something. Its great though. At least the upset will get comfort and the happy never get complacent. The atmosphere in my opinion is JUST right, at least for me. :)

Well, about the black horse thing... Its like this chinese phrase for an unexpected winner or the unexpected somebody who achieves something good. Usually used in cases where its definitely a shock factor.

I was one of the black horses. Basically I can't speak Chinese for NUTS. And to get a distinction for my oral was like WOAH. I was like in this semi dream kinda state... I didn't know whether to stay shocked or to smile. I was really happy. Extremely so. But I knew around me people would appreciate a more level headed response... A humbler one... So I tried to keep the joy inside...

But I guess I didn't need to... Because when you're in that kinda sombre situation... When the people you know MOST DESERVED the A2... And they get B3s... You'd kinda sober up too if you were me.
I don't know. Bad stuff happens in life. Can't help it...

I think my results shocked TY the most because he's always saying my Chinese sucks like poo and that I sound like a kentang all the time. Its true lah, but... I don't know. Miracles happen when you try and believe.
So... Today is a good day... :) I AM glad today is a good day. Even if I suffered the worst scare in my life yesterday... Yeah... Things work out in the end.

Life isn't that bad when you stop making it out to be,

"Are you Canadian?" - Some guy who added me on MESSENGER after chatting to me for 20 mins.
No. I'm not Canadian. Never have been, never will be. And anyway... My dearie wouldn't like me to talk to you too much... Its just weird. Buh bye now. :)
