Modern Day Shakespeare: Officially missing you.

Officially missing you.

I was rather distracted yesterday. I met my friend on the train and he told me that results were gonna be released today, rather than on Friday which I thought would be the release date. I was nervy for the whole day, constantly creating images in my mind of what was going to happen.

See, I was never the brightest kid in this family tree. For the past three years in college, I have failed quite a number of times, 10 times to be exact. I conceded defeat during my last semester in year 2. I failed two modules that semester and I thought it was game over. I somehow believed that I was going to retain for a whole semester due to the number of modules I had to clear. But last October came, and the timetable was great. It was packed, but great. I had to take 9 modules that semester and I had to be really independent.

Today, the results came out. I unlocked my phone with my shaky hands, took a deep breath, and logged into the school system. I took a peek, and despite having only slept for 6 hours, I immediately sprang into life. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I have finally made it! I can now say I am a graduate from Temasek Polytechnic. I had tears in my eyes, tears of joy, when I jumped up and down breaking the news to my elated mother. She too, was overwhelmed with joyous emotions. Her first reaction was to call all of my aunts and tell them of this piece of news. I'm so proud of myself. But I couldn't have done it without the help of my classmates.

This is going to sound really stupid if you read it out loud, but I want to thank Muhammad Hafis Bin Suhaimi and Tay Yong Sheng for being the two best pals over the past three years. There are many others too, but I feel closer to this two pals. Thank you so much for helping me through all the bullshits.
