Influence
Monday, January 28, 2008
There are some people in your life, which no matter what decision you make, or wherever your stand lies, they will always be able to waver your emotions, sway your verdicts. For most, they'd be the sensible ones. The ones who'll make the right choices for you for practicality, and negate those less important factors.
For me, it's largely Cheryl. As corney as this may sound, as feeble it may be, I only realized how important she meant to me just recently. The O Level posting was drawing to a close, and the main factor I considered was going to a same school. I ignored all the crap about not letting friends influence your decision, and set my mind on where she'd be going.
So here are my choices;
Meridian Science,
Tampines Science,
St. Andrews Science,
Catholic Science,
Meridian Arts,
Tampines Arts,
St. Andrews Arts,
and Catholic Arts.
I left the last four choices blank, as Tampines is a fail safe choice, seeing as it's cut off is 14 and I got a 12. So that's all I've got to say about results.
School today felt lousy, with the initial crashing of Meridian then returning to Tampines. I badly wanted to meet up with the guys, but schedules of Mark, Ben and Joseph did not permit. Let's hope for badminton for tomorrow.
On another note, I have really gotten into the interest of tennis. I am kinda striving for competitive tennis, and trying way hard to jack up my standard. No matter which JC I go I'd stick to Tennis, although Fencing at Meridian (of which my chances of getting in are... maybe 30%?) sounds pretty slick too. It all boils down to the posting, and I am crossing my fingers on making Meridian's cut. Maybe I'd appeal if worst came to worst.
Keep in touch, see you soon.
