A lvl results
Wooohoo! The 1988 dragon batch created history in several JCs. RJC had 90% of students with 3 distinctions or more, VJC had 50% while NJC ~52%. NYJC did superb as well, 212 students had 3 distinctions or more, the highest ever, I read through several JCs stats and we're on par with ACJC in terms of students with 3As or more. (Woah!)
I went back to college at around 2pm for the results, so glad to meet all my classmates and friends again. The principal started with a short clip of the movie Heroes, the fighting scene was impressive, but I still don't get the reason behind screening it. After that, it was the most nervous moment. The principal was pretty excited when he read out the overall results of the 2006 cohort. When he said over 200 students scored 3 distinctions or more, everyone cheered so loudly! The atmosphere was really great. Of course, I sat on the ground praying that I'd be one of them. The ceremony started off with the student who scored 8 distinctions, then 6, 5, 4, 3 distinctions. 05S6A was only called out in the 4 distinctions category. By then, my hopes were slowly dying off, hands getting cold. When my name was finally called out at the 3 distinctions category, I was really relieved. I scored a B for Chemistry, the first ever B grade for Chemistry in my JC life.
After the ceremony, we chatted with our tutors. I thanked them very gratefully. My Chemistry tutor Mr Wan, came along and congratulated us. His first words to me were:
[Mr Wan] Hey zirong, congrats. But I expected you to get an A
[me] But I had been scoring Ds and Es for Chemistry in the mid-years and prelims
[Mr Wan] But at least you got a B, it shows you put in effort for it. It's very rare that someone who can ace in Physics but not Chemistry. I think it's just the fact that some people ermm..
[me] Can't do Chemistry?
...everyone laughed...
[Mr Wan] But you aced in Economics, that shows you're one who looks at the big picture. Chemistry is alot at the micro level.
Well, that says it all. If I had taken Biology, I'd have definitely flunked it. My friends who aced in Biology all aced in Chemistry as well. That's why it's called Biochemical Engineering in University, not Biophysical Engineering.
