Yesterday, before CCA, shinyi, jiahui, eileen and i were standing at the back of the hall listening to the announcement of the o'levels results. and like what mr pt wanted, we observed the students' faces.
somehow, i was very affected during the waiting of results. the atmosphere was very tense and i was actually feeling nervous! when they announced the names of students who scored 6,7,8,9 A1 , i felt really happy for those students. it's just this feeling where you're happy and proud of a stranger whom you dont know and have never seen before. you just feel very happy for them. These students were shocked when they knew of their results. they hugged each other, cried on stage, some still trying to overcome their shock. it was as if the happiness was contagious. haha. Went to the toilet after that..saw a student who scored 8A1 crying in the toilet. she doesnt have a smile on her face. thus, it was difficult to tell if she was or was not shedding tears of joy.. like what mr pt said, " laughing does not mean one did well. crying does not mean one did badly". so i didnt know what the girl was feeling then.
As i looked at all the o'levels ex ny students, it occured to me that this will be one of the last time i will be witnessing the announcement of such o'level results in nanyang. i wont be experiencing this kind of moments at all... After my batch graduates from this school, there will be no such thing as "announcement of o'levels results" day in nanyang anymore! so i was like observing the "ceremony" very carefully. i want to remember this day. and the details. the emotions. the faces. which are things i'll never get to experience myself.
