Today's trip to school wasn't for nothing after all. I was greatly surprised and immensely pleased by 3 things:

1) I got chosen to go for the OSIP interview.

2) I got in for the Director's List, albeit for Year 1 only.

3) Second highest for RTechB. Now that's something!

Is today my luckiest day or something? Or is my good karma coming back? I was like on an adrenaline high the whole day, as I thought about the OSIP interview I would be attending tomorrow while clutching the piece of paper that was my certificate.

The first thing that shot through my mind was to return home as quickly as possible and unload all the good news onto my parents. My mom, as usual, was nonchalent about the whole thing. She just nodded and grunted in approval. Perhaps I was expecting a bit more.

But my dad was a bit more enthusiastic. He has always been more excited about the OSIP than me so I guess he can go have a coronary now. And he did praise me on my RTechB results.

However, he dissed my Director's List cert ("What? Just a piece of paper?! I thought you said got scholarship??) and I became a tad pissed off. I mean, do you know how difficult and how much effort I put in in Year 1 just to get that slip of paper? Then, of course, he annoyed me more by saying "Wah, if you have the cert for Year 1, 2 and 3 in your portfolio..."

What am I? I'm no genius. I can't be forever getting scholarships and certs and honours just to please you. You don't even know how difficult it is. In fact, you and mom are SO used to the whole idea that, for one, mom doesn't even react anymore when I come back with excellent results. You expect me to, forver, be the best. You expect me to win everything, get everything.

Well, let me tell you here that I am not your cert-obtaining machine ok? I never was and will never be. Go reflect, Dad and Mom.

Ok... That was unnecessary. But other than that, I am exhilarated. I can't believe it! There is actually something on my wishlist that is most probably going to come true! They say it's an interview but it is most probably confirmed? Well, I hope I crap right in front of them tomorrow!! And I totally wasn't expecting the cert and my RTechB results. I do feel it's a bit unfair, for people like Han Yin who studied so hard for it and me, who spent 2 days just flipping through the notes, to get about the same grade. But if God allows me this luxury, then, by all means, I'll thankfully accept it.

THANK YOU GOD!!! XD
