Two Thumbs Up

Thumb number one:

AS results came out on Monday.

I left the house alone as my housemates lingered back to check their results online at 7am, which made us all late for the bus, so I decided to leave first without checking. I planned to check next year :p

Then I arrived in college and Alep cleverly coaxed me into checking my results. The moment I logged in and the page loaded, I immediately covered the screen with my hands. Then Alep made a happy face.

A - chemistry
A - maths
C - physics

Or at least I think that is what I got, if I did not see wrong.

Yes I am happy about my results. Because I managed to get A for Chemistry! In your face Mr George!!

Honestly, I have to thank Mr George for not believing in me, for yelling at me, for cursing me, for being really mean to me. Because it only pushed me to improve in Chemistry so that I do not get yelled at. I was more afraid of him than I was of Cambridge! How silly is that?

Hehe It was important to me that I do well in my AS because it can give me some sort of assurance that I can do it in my A2. Sort of. owhwellthatslife

Come to think about it, C is bad. Ok happiness over! How the heck am I going to apply for uni with this C?And I am going for engineering for goodness sake! I think I just screwed myself here with this stupid C.

I see UTexas slowly slipping through my fingers now T.T

ugh... I am going to have to pray very very hard for this...

*breathe*

Thumb number two:

The entire thing was my idea. I thought it through over and over again. It was the only thing on my mind most of the time.

It started off slightly better than expected. Then it got worst, and to add salt to the wound there was a big painful thorn in everyone's side that was in a world of his own.

You did not believe, you did not want to try. Too lazy? Too scared? Your reputation is at risk, so you wanted to play safe. And you even put some of them down. How dare you...

But I believed. I walked them through every single baby step. And now, we kick ass. We proved you wrong oh you of little faith!

Sure they gave me headaches at times. And I often shout and scream at them. But most of the time it was laughter that I get from them.

They made me cry during practise that day. It was not sadness that overwhelmed me. Nor was it the stress that got to me. The tears were nothing but tears of joy.

I am so proud of them :)

Confused? Lolz I am talking about the choir we are doing for MKM. Yes, it was my idea, and due to a sudden and unexpected twist of event, Ms Sathya instructed me to conduct them on that very night!

I have never conducted a choir before. I have never been in a choir before! Not a proper one at least.

Yes go ahead and laugh. But I bet that we can shut you up the moment you hear us sing! Lolz

I was extremely happy the other day during practise. My grin turned into a smile, which turned into a wider smile, and at the end I was chuckling. And then the tears came. I was pleased.

OMG people you should have heard them that night. It was so beautiful. The melody together with the harmony. Everyone with one voice, it was wow. I was really touched and extremely proud of them all :)

Nevertheless, we still have a lot of touching up to do. But I believe that we can do it. God has given me wisdom and lead me through the choir, this I am sure of. We are going to rock on Friday!

I shall not say anymore. Watch us on Friday! XD
