The release of the results brought welcome respite and relief from my roller-coaster ride of anxiety and apprehension! I swear! Prior to the main "event", i was in my "office" sweating bullets and tearing scrap paper into bits! I even embarked on a new bad habit... nail-biting.
Thankfully short-lived cos' i don't wanna look like those stumpy hobbits from
The Lord Of The Rings.
Okay, maybe looking like Elijah Wood isn't so bad. In fact! It would be an improvement wouldn't it? Haha.
Anyway! Everything seems somehow smaller now that I've graduated from
MJC.
JC life, in hindsight, somehow seems more like a comfortable haze of "feel-good" feelings, for lack of a better word.
I sound as if I'm on drugs. The drug of
reminiscence perhaps.
On a less thoughtful-and-deep note! MJC got a mentioned by
CHANNEL NEWSASIA! I find the bit about us being one of the "
relatively newer junior colleges" that did well a bit insulting and offensive! The insidious meaning of this being a thing of SURPRISE and AMAZEMENT makes MJC's achievement seem more like a fluke and a large blip on the radar of "THE UNEXPECTED".
Oh well. I guess all kind of press is good press.
Especially if you're one of the "relatively newer junior colleges".
Bah!
On to happier things! I got an
A for Literature! Yes! The horrendous B4 i got for my O level Lit has been expunged from my record! Redemption!
Woot!
Update!
*It seems that Channel Newsasia has amended the article to sound less... demeaning. Maybe someone from there reads my blog. Hah!*
