I literally cried tears of joy yesterday when I heard my daughter's GCE 'O' Level results. Realised that Tessa had achieved a pretty nice single digit score to meet the minimum entry into any course of her choice at the local Polytechnic (not to say she will get in, but she meets the min. requirements). Let's just say that some of the more popular Poly courses are having cut-off points of 9 and she more than meets that requirement : ) I shall not divulge more or I risk getting an admonishment from a 16 going on 17 yr old daughter.
Aiyah, I think I am entitled to brag and boast just a little. This is me, 'maverick parent' speaking. This is the little girl who barely scrapped through her PSLE because Neopets was more intriguing and Chinese less beckoning. This is the little girl who juggled both band and student council Co-Curricular Activities through her secondary school life (she scored an A1 for it by the way = which means 2 bonus points if you understand this confusing local exam jargon), returning home at 6 pm every other day really tired out.
This is the girl who pulled up her socks just a few months before her Os. Yep, my little girl who scored a couple of As. Off to either Poly or JC (she still can't decide). She likes the idea of wearing a JC uniform but hates the idea of still studying Chinese. Bio Medical Science at Poly sounds good to her too but she might regret not going to CJC!!! Hah! The issues the young face!
You go, girl!
